    How to emulate a Lazy J20 amp in Axe-Fx III?

    How to emulate a Lazy J20 amp in Axe-Fx III?

    Has anyone managed to emulate a Lazy J20 amp with the amp models available in the Axe FX III? I think its based on a Fender Tweed with a few tweaks (but now sure which Tweed model). Any Amp experts that can help guide me on whats worth trying/tweaking?

    Europe Touring - AF3

    Europe doesn’t use the same plug everywhere (but I think France and Belgium use the same ones), but is 240v. They dont have a built in fuse (the UK ones do) Would be easier to buy/borrow a French IEC cable as there’s less things to go wrong than using an adaptor and a Canadian IEC cable.

    Confused about Hi cuts...

    Guitar speakers are very directional, and high frequencies drop off with distance, so what’s emitted by a guitar speaker may not reach your ear depending on where you are standing. For IRs, the mic is not picking up what your ears hear, as it’s 1” from the speaker. So they’re different...

    FM3 Firmware Version 8.00

    I suspect that’s the issue, it’s not updating the kill dry setting for the preset on first load, which could mute a series block and make a parallel block louder, but that’s for the developers to deduce.
  36. B

    FM3 Firmware Version 8.00

    The main one is the reverb either being muted or a louder volume upon first use after startup (depending on if it’s series or parallel) until the block is clicked on in the editor - I hope there’s a fix for that one soon.
