The Edge/U2 and UAFX pedals

Has anybody compared the new „Class-A 30W Brilliant Amp“ model in Firmware 25.00 to the UA Ruby? To me the TB (handwired) model in the Axe sounds less chimey/brilliant now than before the update (I wonder why), making it obvious to switch to the new Brilliant model. What do you think? Could it...

Input 1 gain - PRS Custom 22 - levels?

Well it is very simple: use a cable and then compare it to the wireless. If the signal hitting the Axe is higher, then it is obviously too hot and you should turn the gain on the wireless down accordingly. That’s what it’s made for…

Axe-Fx III Firmware 24.04 Release

I have to agree. The new default setting of 16 does not make any sense IMHO as it introduces strange artifacts to the delay repeats. The default value should be set below 12. And by the way…the new default value for bit reduction in the TC 2290 is now 8. Is that intentional or a mistake?

As someone who uses only 2 amp types (out of approx. 300) for live-shows (Vox AC-30 and Fender Tweed Deluxe) I am asking the simple question, if the UAFX Vox and Fender emulations are „better sounding“ than the Fractals. Maybe a dedicated pedal, that emulates only 1 amp, is able to do this in a...
