    Axe-Fx III Firmware 22.00 Public Beta (Beta 6)

    I feel that with Axe-Fx III I've been given much more than I expected upon buying the unit in 2019. Appreciate it, people. Enjoy it. Fractal really owes you nothing. Dyna-Cab is awesome. I struggled with IRs. There's always that one annoying resonance that makes you want to search for a totally...

    Why Is It Always The Axe FX Getting Destroyed?

    Glenn turned from a guy making interesting points to a dude posting clickbait, or half-assed sponsored "reviews" and trying to do tutorials while being unaware his mixing skills are subpar. Actually, I unsubscribed after seeing this thumbnail. His most popular opinion is about a piece of gear he...

    FM3 practical foot switch use

    Thanks, guys! Preset attached. I use GGD Cali Cab IRs. If you don't have these, other Mesa 412 impulses will get you in the ballpark.

    AFIII „Empire State of Mind” (Full band rock cover)

    Hi everyone! So, I made a prog rock / metal kind of arrangement of this Alicia Keys’ song. My band has just released the cover. Axe-Fx on all electric guitars and bass. Appreciate you checking in out!

    FM3 Firmware Version 5.03

    I’m aware. Was the bug fixed?

    FM3 Firmware Version 5.03

    I’ve noticed a funny bug in the latest beta. I created a preset in the Axe FX III that had some parameters controlled with Scene Controllers. One of them was Amp Presence. I then imported the preset to FM3, which doesn’t allow to attach a SC to Presence. Yet the knob was still reacting...

    Hey guys, here's a little RR Tribute. I double-tracked the solo, then summed both tracks and put some Softube TSAR-1R for that roomy sound. What do you think?

    About that Blackglass B7K Model

    I think Cliff refers to Neural as ‘Brand N’, so I thought I’ll stick with that ;)

    About that Blackglass B7K Model

    I was able to get the Blackglass model close (I guess) to both the 'Brand N' plugin and the real Darkglass AO pedal. With weird settings, yes, but still, I think it's totally usable.

    AFIII Dream Theater - Invisible Monster (Guitar Solo Cover)

    Ok, while I'm not super crazy about DT's newest stuff, this solo reminded me why I'm a JP fanboy :) So good! Here's my take on it. I've used Bogren Digital IR's which I really dig!
  18. Addy

    Sticking with the FM3? Upgrading to FM9? Why?

    Sticking with FM3 a) I can do everything I need in a live setting WITHIN ONE PRESET b) I have the III in my studio for bigger workloads

    AFIII My Favorite Hi Gain Models

    Thanks for the input everyone! I agree, in the mix all the amps sound really similar. Funny how obsessing about tone gets pointless as soon as the guitar is put in the mix 😂 Seriously though, using different cabs would make these amps sound completely different. I didn’t want to do that though...

    AFIII My Favorite Hi Gain Models

    Hey guys! I think I finally narrowed my go-to Hi-Gain amps to 8 models. Holy crap do they sound awesome, especially with Cygnus. Here's a showcase! Hope you like it. The preset is linked in the video description.

    FM3 Firmware Version 4.00 beta 5

    Everything works perfectly now! Also, looks like CPU usage was optimized again (?). My main preset went from 83% on beta 3 to 78%. Nice!

    FM3 Firmware Version 4.00 beta 4

    Installed beta 4 and the 'chirp' is gone. For me, it only occurred on b3 when switching to the layout with tap tempo assigned to Switch 1. Here's a quick vid demonstrating the issue.
  25. Addy

    FM3 Firmware Version 4.00 beta 3

    Same here with the noise - I can definitely hear chirping noise coming from the unit whenever I choose Footswitch layout where there's tap tempo assigned to one of the switches. Temps look ok at around 50 degrees Celsius. As soon as I switch to another layout, the noise goes away. The problem...

    AFIII Wide Stereo Tone for Live Use [Tutorial]

    FM3 Fan issues after Cygnus

    I can confirm this. The fan becomes noisy as soon as I jump to a FC view where one of the switches is assigned to the tap tempo.

    FM3 Firmware Version 4.00 beta 1

    Great update. So nice to see (hear?) FM3 on par with it’s big brother again! Great work on cpu usage! I was able to put 4 more blocks in my live preset, really cool! One possible issue: First footswitch led went blank for me after a few quick taps (tap tempo). Came back after restart.

    AFIII Zakk Wylde's No More Tears Solo [Cover]

    Thanks! I’ve been playing since 2002, but got really serious about it in 2006 or so. In the old days, I’d depend strictly on tabs to learn new stuff. Nowadays, I make sure to listen to the original song to get a grasp on feeling, sound, or particular techniques used. Also, tabs are often full...

    Yeah, I know. I only noticed it after uploading. My PC is pretty nice for audio, but struggles with editing in 4K. Even the playback of a rendered file is far from smooth, hence the mistake. I’ll have to sort it out! Thanks for the feedback, guys!

  34. Addy

    Could someone help me achieve that wide stereo sound?

    I’ve tried a couple of methods. Pitch block Mimiq settings from Cooper, 8ms delay trick, enhancer. What I think gave me best results is: -cab block with two different IRs from the same “pack” i.e. one with 57 and one with 121; -bump the proximity on one cab to 1.00, 2.00 on the other; - enhancer...

    Using Axe fx 3 presets for fm3

    I use the Axe Fx III at a home studio, and the FM3 for rehearsals, live etc. Since I keep my FM3 at a rehearsal space the whole time, often times I find myself tweaking my FM3 presets on the III. Works great and seamlessly as long as you keep a couple of things in mind. Some blocks aren’t...

    Thinking of upgrading FM3

    I own both. I initially got the III, while still keeping Axe II with intent to use it live. I was just tired of dragging my rig with me all the time. After a couple of months I realized that Axe III is miles ahead, decided to sell the II and jump on the FM3 waitlist. I now keep the Axe III in...

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

    Did some tweaks to my JP2C live preset. It's a pretty simple setup since it's what use with the FM3. I hope Cygnus port is coming btw! Pretty happy with how it sounds, this amp is amazing now!

    AFIII Haken - Nil By Mouth - Cover (Some Virtual Capo Love Here)

    Thanks! I discovered Haken in 2011, when Visions came out. Love this band since then. Inspiring to see how they've grown from an underground band to one of the biggest acts in prog in less than 10 years. Give Archon a shot guys, it's great for heavy, downtuned stuff! I'm using it with 4x12 USA...

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

    This update is beyond amazing. I launched my JPIIC preset, did a couple of tweaks, and immediately noticed the familiar roar I remember from JP’s amp demos and live DT shows I’ve been to. Shred is now perfect when switching from E Standard to Drop A 7 string. I wanted to love this model prior...

    AFIII Haken - Nil By Mouth - Cover (Some Virtual Capo Love Here)

    Thank you! Yeah, the Capo is great! The only downside is playing at low volume and hearing both the processed pitch and the actual one directly from the guitar ;) I can totally see using it live at some point though!
  41. Addy

    AFIII Haken - Nil By Mouth - Cover (Some Virtual Capo Love Here)

    I love this band, but could never do a proper cover since I don't own an 8 string. Thanks to Virtual Capo, I now can! Using Archean Model for heavy sounds and JPIIC+ Green for cleans. Scene changes controlled via MIDI from Reaper. Hope you like it!

    Axe-Fx III 16.00 Beta 9 "Cygnus" Firmware - Public Beta #6

    Been messing around with Cygnus for a couple of days. For me, this FW seems to have solved one issue I've had since Fx-II MK II days - fizzy highs. I always had to search for and notch those ear-piercing resonances between 3 and 5 kHz, use Multiband Comp, or browsing dozens of IRs. With Cygnus...

    Reamping only reamps effects?

    This may be a total miss, but I've found out that I have to bypass Monitoring FX in Reaper for Reamping to work.
  44. Addy

    Let's see those FM3 rigs!

    Almost as simple as it gets. Initially thought of getting the FC6 as well, but since I’m utilizing only one preset with four scenes live, three switches turned out to be more than enough. Also, using Input 2 for my piezo pickups and running it through a separate path. Works like a charm.

    FM3 Firmware Version 2.00 Public Beta 1

    Has someone experienced issue like this? Will Archean bug fix also solve this one? The unit stops when the Control Switch is being turned in with the footswitch. Also, my FM3 froze yesterday during scrolling through factory presets. I can’t recall which particular preset caused it.

    Here's my collection. I've had the JP6 for more than 10 years now. It was my 1st "pro" guitar, and it's great, still love it. Needs some fretwork, I'll probably have SS frets installed. Sterling JP70 was my second one. Got a great deal on it back in the day. It's okay, nothing spectacular...

With the Axe II + MFC combo in the past, I'd carry it to rehearsals or gigs and then back home...
