    Axe-Fx III Firmware 32.00 Public Beta #3

    As some of the tones have changed in the past couple of firmwares, I am quite interested in "Improved power tube grid modeling in Amp block" and especially "Fixed an issue with PVH 6160, PVH 6160+ Lead and 5153 Red amp models. These models have been remastered accordingly" as those are kinda my...

    FW 31 Midrange only

    FWIW, I had to re-eq a lot of my presets after the FW upgrade. I experienced the same "mid hump" as well even though most say nothing sounded different and "only better". I'm still running 9.03 on my FM9 due to the changes in that FW. I'm of the mindset "if it sounds good, it ain't broken...

    Help me decide if I should go with the FM3 or FM9? (Thinking about upgrading from AX8)

    If the extra money is no issue, the FM9 all day! Extra switches, easier access to whatever you want with the switches, extra CPU, extra everything. I bounce between FM9 and AxeFx3 and never miss a beat with the FM9. The FM9 is still most used and my favorite over the Quad Cortex, ToneX (sold...

    FM9 Firmware Version 10.0

    The great thing about FAS is the ability to revert back to prior FW's for sound and feel. After last night's rehearsal on FW10, I couldn't get past the changes made to the amp block. Still too shrill in an upper mid freq that I just can't dial out. Went back to 9.03. Sucks the virtual capo...

    AI-Powered Tone? Positive Grid

    As trendy as "AI" is at the moment (great marketing buzz word), it is intriguing to see it being used more and more in music.

    Let's see those FM9 rigs!

    In 4CM or on its own, the FM9 is pretty much my “go to” over the others. Just a quick set up yesterday here in my music room at home, working on a few tones for a new recording. Using the EVH (as you can see) for this one. Though it also kicks ass in 4CM with my Mesas…my Marshall heads can be...

    Guitar cabinet recommends for axe fx 3

    Look at several of the passive frfr speakers available.

    Guitar cabinet recommends for axe fx 3

    If you want the traditional amp in the room feel and sound, go with the Matrix or a Seymour Duncan Powerstage into a traditional Marshall, Mesa, or cab of your choice. Turn off the cab sim or don’t use a cab block in your preset. You’ll get your real amp sound that way. You can choose any of...

    FM9 Firmware Version 9.01

    Ran the newest FW using SD PS200 into 2 Mesa cabs...sounding insanely great!! I'm actually coaxing better tones thru my FM9 than thru my Axe3. Guess I've been spending more time with FM9 than the AF3 lately.

    Better 4CM. Axe-Fx III or FM3?

    I use both. AF3 is great to keep the unit on or near my head with the rack and only using one xlr to the fc12 to control everything. The fm9 is great as a stand-alone unit, tho I have to use my pedal snake cable which is a little larger than the xlr to go from floor to the amp. Both sound great!

    Seymour Duncan Powerstage 200 questions.

    I’ve used OUT 2 and OUT 3 going into the Powerstage. Not much of a “mojo” difference as there is with a volume difference. It’s easier to use a standard cable or humbuster from the unit to the PS. Humbuster cable is not a requirement but may/does help with any noise you may or may not get...

    Can one footswitch turn two pedals on and off at the same time?

    They work as intended per preset. You have to make the changes in each preset if you are going to use it that way. You can always copy/paste the block into a new preset, or save the block and recall it in a new preset if needed.

"Another method is to use a Control Switch. You can...

    Live Levels

    Actually channel B should be at 0 instead of -10 to just try and match the level of channel A. Personally I would us the scene levels in your output block to get them dialed in. Just a suggestion
  91. Dino334

    Live Levels

    Scenes 3 and 4 you are using channel B for your drive and amp. Those levels are not the same as in Channel A which is causing the rise and fall in levels. Your filter/slash boost is at 3db which should not be a big deal. Change the channel level to match in A and B and your problem is solved.
