    Wish Enhanced ToneMatch block : EQ match + Reverb match

    Hi, I don't think this has been asked before. The actual Tonematch block does an EQ match. What about having two sections : -EQ match, -Reverb/ambiance match like the Chameleon plugin does. What do you think about this ?

    Switching from Mark IV to Axe-Fx III

    By the way, are the models of the Mark IV on the Axe Fx based on rev A or rev B ?

    With 20.03, the new Klone type is available in the Drive block. MP-1 is for 20.04 !

    Wish Power amp only models

    Yes, I think a lot of people here would be very glad to do try that ;) But remember that Metallica also put EQs and compressors between preamp and poweramp when they recorded MOP, AJFA and BA. So we're back to the OP : having the possibility to turn off the preamp section in the amp block (for...

    Wish Power amp only models

    The other problem with this method is that it uses two amp blocks, whereas the "new" feature I talked about uses just one.
  6. Clive

    Wish Power amp only models

    Yes but with the feature I propose, the preamp would not be seperated from the poweramp.
  7. Clive

    Wish Power amp only models

    You're right. I hope Cliff will change his mind. Another cool thing would be to have the possibility to change the poweramp type in the amp block just like we do when we change the tonestack.

    Wish Three amp blocks

    With a "25% higher clock speed", is it enough to have a third amp block in the AFXIII Turbo ?
  9. Clive

    Wish ADA MP-1

    Maybe even the great Axe FX III Turbo hasn't enough power to simulate the two valves of the MP-1 ;)

    Metallica The Black Album's Best Guitar Riffs

    Great job. Could it be possible to hear your guitars alone (no original black album backing track), just to hear the sound of the Axe III alone with no post processing. Thanks Ozgur Turkekul.

    The REAL Mesa Boogie Mark IIC++

    OK. Which stage is affected by the added gain in the real Mesa Boogie IIC++ ? Volume ? Lead drive ? Lead Master ? Is it more complex than that ? Are there other changes ? Can this be simulated in the Axe ? Thanks

    Hi, The Axe Fx III has the Mark IIC++ but "the IIC++ amp model is the same as the IIC+ with different tapers." https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/question-about-the-mark-series-graphic-eq-modeling.149223/#post-1770773 So the IIC++ is not the real IIC++ :tonguewink: The real IIC++ is a...

    Wish ADA MP-1

    To model it, I believe Cliff needs a unit to make measures AND schematics. If he doesn't have both, there won't be any model. Some people find that the Brit 800 does not sound like their own JCM 800 but not all JCM 800 sound the same. The Brit 800 sounds like the JCM 800 Fractal/Cliff own.
  19. Clive

    Wish ADA MP-1

    Oh, no, can't believe it : 14.02 Improved Amp block preamp tube modeling. Improved Amp block cathode follower grid modeling. Improved speaker compliance algorithm. Added ADA MP-1. The preamp was paired with a neutral power amp section New Axe-Edit will be forthcoming shortly.

    Hi, I already asked for the ADA MP-1 a long time ago.

The fact is that my MP-1 unit is not in good condition, I had three...

    Will this also affect the drive/sat parameters of the virtual mic preamp of the cab block ?

    [Cab block] Bass, middle and treble of the virtual mic preamp

    Hi, Is it possible to reproduce the behavior of the bass, middle and treble knobs of the virtual mic preamp by using a filter, a PEQ or a GEQ ? The coloration given by these three knobs is so cool that I would like to be able to use them without having to use a Cab block. Thanks.

    The problem is that the tonestack is just one part of the preamp. I would like to choose the whole preamp section (tonestack, gain controls behaviour ...)
