    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

    Speaker Imp Curve

    This evening I went down the fun rabbit hole of trying out tons of different cab IRs. I've just come here to say something that I'm sure we all know but I'd love to reiterate, the Speaker Imp Curve parameter seems like the MOST important parameter to sent when flicking thru cab IRs. Getting this...

    Announcing AxeCapture: A plugin to save Axe-FX presets in your DAW project.

    Hi GlennO! I've been using this plugin a lot with a project for the past couple of weeks. Absolutely loving it's workflow! An issue I'm running into is when I'm using it in Pro Tools (v2023.12.1) once I have the plugin inserted, I can't seem to move it around or I will just get a pinwheel...

    Axe Fx III with SS PA + Cab

    Following up on this. Ya it seems like the speaker controls (Speaker Drive, Speaker Thump, etc.) are still active in the Amp Block even with SS Pwr Amp + Cab selected. That being said, I'm setting up my Axe Fx at the moment to have Output 4 to go to the SS Amp + Cab, and Output 1 to go to my...

    Axe Fx III with SS PA + Cab

    Oh maybe it does? Based on the first reply above and I thought the speaker drive parameter was still doing something when I was turning it, I figured these were still active even with SS AMP + CAB selected. I’ll have to try it again later

    Axe Fx III with SS PA + Cab

    So I recently came into possession of a solid state power amp. I don’t believe it’s an ideal one (Crown Microstage 600) compared to what’s out there but my only experiences with the axe Fx was powering my Ultra and II thru my EVH 5153 head into the matching cab. Outside of that, it’s just mainly...

    Bogren's IRDX core

    In watching some of the videos, I feel like it’s maybe some sort of expander to add some movement while adding the harmonics. I can’t say I noticed the “need” for this until the videos A/B to show what it adds. Though something you could probably easily recreate in the Axe Fx. Sounds great though!

    Speaker Impedance Curve Lock?

    But I thought if this is On, this will follow with your current Dyna-Cab, whereas if it's off, it will just change with the Amp's default cab setting. I'm using just my own IR which won't live in the Dyna-Cab's tab for the Amp block to follow/lock to the Amp's SIP curve.
  19. I

    Speaker Impedance Curve Lock?

    Anybody know if it's possible to lock the Speaker Impedance Curve in the amp block? Trying to audition amps with the same IR but the impedance curve constantly changing seems to work against the "audition" if doesn't stay consistent. Unless I'm misunderstanding how the impedance curve works?

    Eh, it depends on the genre and sonic qualities of the other instruments but ya typically it’s at least a starting point for me to roll up the low end and give a little boost in the mid-top end. For any presets I do create though, I am tweaking them more with the tone controls (whereas the...

    So I’d say, if I’m tracking guitars, I’m typically rolling off some bottom end, and boosting some highs on the way in.

    Automatic Gain Staging for Input

    Yup, this would be probably the ideal process. I'd assume this would help with keeping presets for things like Compressors/noise gates, etc. pretty universal when jumping between guitars and such. I dunno, just sounded like a good idea when I posted this morning haha!

    Automatic Gain Staging for Input

    But we have an input control that we all set to “tickle” the red lights. Assuming that this is the process of gain staging to mimic the amp’s input, people are also finding that they like to push or even pull back the input depending on the amp. This then begs me to believe that the ideal input...
  38. I

    Automatic Gain Staging for Input

    I’m down to hear some legitimate push back but ya it seems like an improvement on the unit’s functionality in my opinion. Even the function to set a user target level that the input would quickly calibrate itself to would be useful even for people that like to slam the inputs.

    Automatic Gain Staging for Input

    I’m not sure if this has been discussed (I’m sure it has) but wondering if we can get a function where the Axe Fx will do an automatic adjustment of the “ideal” input (or at least a set target created by the user). I’ve seen a couple of amp plugins that do this and figured it might be super...
