    FM3 Firmware Version 4.00 beta 1

    Okay, OMG. I've never been able to afford (or want to spend) enough to get a really good tube amp, but I finally feel like I would never need one. This does it. It is frickin' awesome! Thanks Cliff & Fractal team.

    Axe-Fx III 16.00 Beta 11 "Cygnus" Firmware - Public Beta #8

    Cliff probably has the final release ready but is watching this thread to see how many off-topic rabbit holes we jump into while we wait for him to work his magic.

    FM3 - running through ?

    At home I play stereo through two Yamaha DXR10 speakers. I have small JBL studio monitors but don't run the FM3 through them. I did once and one of the speakers seemed to develop an issue (had to replace internal amp). I'm not sure if the FM3 caused the issue but I don't chance it. And I like...

    Why Fractal don't use aluminium for product chassis ?

    Isn’t heavier metal just better?

    FM3 just for effects, straight into amp.

    You might search the forum for info on 4 channel method (4CM). This lets you put FM3 overdrives and other effects in front of the amp and put delays and reverbs after the amp's preamp (i.e. in the effects loop). This gives you more flexibility.

    That's chewy & delicious! Can't wait for this to make its way to the FM3.

    [Poll] How will you connect your FM3 if your bandmate is a stompbox guy?

    When we could gig pre-COVID, I ran a DXR10 behind me plus a little in the monitors for the others to hear in stage and a some in the FOH mix. The other guitarist ran his Bogner Goldfinger (a very cool amp... the cleans!!!) on stage but had a Fryette Power Station from which he sent the XLR out...

    Prince Tones

    These are Axe III but most will work on the FM3 and sound GREAT.

    FM3 at my outdoor Concert Gig was INCREDIBLE!

    The Stevens Playboy preset is really amazing. It is dialed in to sound awesome. I suspect I might have to dial the gain back just a bit at live volume, though.
  15. toddwh50

    Which tuner is right?

    Thanks! I've always struggled with intonation and tuning that works lower and higher on the fretboard. I gave this a shot and it sounded better to me. Going to keep playing with it but so far is good.

    So, what's everyone's favourite amp model?

    I still stick mostly to my favorites, but since the last firmware I feel that there are a LOT more amps that could easily become favorites.

    So, what's everyone's favourite amp model?

    For crunch, I've been on the Friedman BE and DS models. For clean I love the AC20. It is juicy and beautiful.

    AX-8 Firmware Version 10.00

    There are a lot of amp models that I didn't "gel" with in prior firmware versions that I am now finding that I like a lot. It's like getting a lot more than four new amp models for me!

    AX-8 10.00 Release Candidate #2

    The cleans in this new FW sound chewy and delicious. Best adjectives I can think of to describe. Loving it.

    Help: I need punchy clean tones

    I love the AC20 cleans. I start with Scene 1 of Glenn D’s free GD Eagles patch and tweak from there, including some of the ideas above. Ends up very nice and plenty punchy for a clean sound.

    Why don’t headphones sound good?

    The sound is thin, distorted sounds are bad (not sure how to put into words). I do believe the quality issue is partly due to Fletcher Munson, but will try another headphone amp too. I do need some sort of mixer capability so I can practice along with tracks.
  30. toddwh50

    Why don’t headphones sound good?

    Overall I’ve been pretty happy with my AX8 after about 8 months. Playing live has been a challenge because I'm playing with another guitar player who is not only great, but he has an amazing tube rig (Bogner Goldfinger, a great amp, plus a very well structured pedal board. But I'm getting there...

    Trying to get my AX8 sounding good.

    I had to return my first AX8 as I could not get it to sound good, even with help from Fractal support. The replacement unit does sound good. So, there seems to have been some issue with the first unit. Hopefully the returned but didn’t go the through some quick test and get shipped back out...

    Multi-purpose patch tricks Thread (for lazy feet)

    Some interesting ideas, could you share a patch that demonstrates? I’ve tried using the scene 1/2 switch similarly but usually revert back to three scene switches to get what I want or save having to press multiple switches to switch from clean or rhythm into a lead sound. Lately I’ve been...

    Has anyone had an issue like this?

    I’ve been noticing some weird issues recently (since installing the latest firmware I think) where effects in the signal path turn on (and get stuck on) mysteriously and I have to switch presets to reset it. Maybe similar to what you’ve described above. I’ve also had issues with the wah not...

    Finally figured the best room simulation for a cab.

    A video would be great but could you post a preset that demonstrates this trick?

    Seperate Monitor out?

    Ah, I misread. I cannot insert the FOH in in the AX8 but my FRFR monitor has a 2nd input and I can put a signal into that. I also have a little mixer I can use for things like that. Otherwise moerker seems right about creatively using L vs R paths.
  38. toddwh50

    Seperate Monitor out?

    I’m a fairly new user but I do this using the FX Loop block. It can serve as a split at the end of the signal path to send the signal to the Loop out. It doesn’t need to come back in. So mains go to FOH and Loop Out goes to Mons. I guess this would not work if you need the effects loop for...

    Wah issue with new Firmware?

    I was able to resolve my issue be re-calibrating my expression pedal. Maybe the cutoff for auto-engage got a little bit more finicky with the firmware update? Either way, simple to fix.
  40. toddwh50

    Wah issue with new Firmware?

    This is happening for me too. I haven't had time yet to figure out why. With no changes to my presets, the wah no longer auto disables with heel down. It worked fine previously.

    Oh man, why?

    Is he blowing or sucking? I think sucking.

    Dialing in settings at home doesn't translate...

    I followed the advice above and worked out a new preset based on what RLD shared. Now I'm getting much better tones. I had been using the BE but find that I like the DS better at volume. Thanks all!

    Dialing in settings at home doesn't translate...

    Thanks RLD - that helps! Now I'm anxious to do some gig-volume comparisons with what I've worked out.

    Dialing in settings at home doesn't translate...

    I’ve been trying to get a feel for the difference between patches at gig volume vs home practice volume and don’t have it figured out yet. Does somebody have an example of a gig-tuned preset that you use that you could share so I could see what it sounds like at practice levels? For me I’m...

    Thinking of buying some presets....Suggestions please??

    I think buying vs. rolling your own presets is a decision each player needs to make based on his or her situation. Personally, I barely have enough time to play much less tinker with the seemingly countless combination of amps, IRs, and effects. So, for me at least, Fremen’s presets gave me a...

    Any AX8 players in suburbs north of Dallas?

    Hey AX8 players, I just got an AX8 about a month ago. After playing it for a while it seems like the sound quality degraded suddenly, but I want to make sure it's not my ears. I have a support ticket open with Fractal and have tried various setting changes they have suggested, but it still seems...
