    Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 2.00 Firmware Release

    Wasn't really expecting another update and to see y'all got the Ampeg Flip-top and Dark Glass pedal in there finally...thanks again!!!!

    Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 1.03 Firmware Release

    Yep. same thing my XL was doing, but it sounds great, I figure they'll find the issue with Axe-Edit and we'll get a new version, maybe a slightly revised firmware, but Aries sounds great and I didn't save any beta versions. Inspiring tones, I wrote a new track jamming last night, which is good...

    Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 1.03 Firmware Release

    Axe Edit is saying "the version information could not be queried". I tried unselecting and reselecting the ports. Also getting this message: "Communications time-out. Axe-Edit was unable to complete the following communications request: initialization: get_all_patch_names"

    Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 1.03 Firmware Release

    Odd, I had no trouble downloading the new firmware, got to check audio in a bit, but once I installed 1.03 and the latest Axe edit, they won't connect? I don't really use axe-edit regularly, so as long as everything else is working nicely, I guess I'll just keep adjusting from the front panel...

    AustinBuddy possible Bass Presets for the Axe-Fx III - what do you want to see?

    Yeah, the Super Bassman is a great sounding amp with it's own flavor, the Meatsmoke sounds mighty nifty too, would be awesome to see either (or both) in there for sure!

    Rack Suggestions for Axe-Fx III

    I have a ton of SKB cases, but the recently discontinued ones with the aluminum valance, I'm sure the new ones are still good (though the handles look way less heavy duty and I'm not sure they still have replaceable nut clips if you manage to strip the holes). Anyway, the way they measure them...

    AustinBuddy possible Bass Presets for the Axe-Fx III - what do you want to see?

    Yeah, Royal Blood would be great, but is the pitch shifter in the AXE able to do what the POG does?

    Bug? "FAS Bass" Amp Model - Aliasing (I think)

    I just used FAS Bass the night before last, sounded clean and clear to me...still probably the best sounding "bass amp" in the box, though I really like the AC-30 with a bass cab, but suggest keeping that path clean, as to my ear, it starts to sound flat and boxy on bass as it distorts ( though...

    AustinBuddy possible Bass Presets for the Axe-Fx III - what do you want to see?

    Definitely Jack Bruce, John Entwistle, John Paul Jones and of course Geddy and Paul McCartney...though I'm also partial to Justin Chancellor's tones (generally a full range bi-amp, one clean RB800, one dirty and I think a Direct In to the desk, so three signal paths), but yeah, re-working that...

    Oh, I heard one of those "metal bands" before, it was harsh and I didn't like it....but IRs I like! Of course, I'm kidding, I do plenty of metal-ish stuff among other things, though I usually try to avoid "harsh", anyway... Awesome that you are able to make your own IRs that work better for...

    Honest Thoughts On Axe-Fx III, II and AX8?

    You can't really go wrong by buying a II, mine does everything I want it to (well, except the Ampeg B-15 that's been promised and will get used a lot when it's in there)...but if you're buying one now and you can afford to go for the III, it's really a platform with a ton of potential, it may...

    Axe-Fx III and Headphones

    Oh, someone mentioned the old Sony MDR 7506, great for tracking, but definitely not mixing, they're far from 'Neutral", they have a smile curve built in with a bit of a bass heavy boost, also the old Japanese made ones sounded a lot better then the newer Chinese made models (I know, I bought a...

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 10.01 Firmware Release

    My votes for no official "Final Firmware", as I'd like to see occasional updates when possible, but if we have to have an official end of life firmware, I like the sound of Quantum 13! I'd love to see a few more Bass amps added before "we're done", but hey, it's pretty amazing as is, so if it's...

    AFIII VIDEO: Axe-Fx III vs Axe-Fx II - Comparing the amp block

    Good clip, seems like the III could benefit from a bit more of a high end roll off on that Brit800, but on the others I think it really lets the tone of the instrument shine through, the II sounds great, but a bit more processed, which is okay by me, because I did buy it to get good processed...
  17. Dogstarr

    The III seems like a bass dream machine (or just a dream machine period).

    Just what it needs, another guitar amp! :P Oh well, maybe we'll see the same pattern of lack of development for bass, the II certainly has plenty of power to still be improved for bass and the III should be every bit as good for bass as guitar, but not if they don't push the envelope in that...
  18. Dogstarr

    The III seems like a bass dream machine (or just a dream machine period).

    I know it's totally just hype, very Line6-ish, I think those vids should be required to come with a big YMMV warning! Yeah, I think I saw one of those links and got to check out someone's cool project...which is always fun, I really don't even listen to record company produced music anymore...

    AFIII Dumble ODS jam with Axe Fx III.

    Wow, great playing and tone to die for!
  20. Dogstarr

    The III seems like a bass dream machine (or just a dream machine period).

    I think they're missing the point that they can actually compare the sonic differences in the IRs with the re-amping, but maybe you should throw them a few bones and do some vids with an ace throwing down some awe inspiring riffs that are more like hype for what could be achieved, then what...
  21. Dogstarr

    The III seems like a bass dream machine (or just a dream machine period).

    Yeah, the sound clips are great for comparing on his site too, as they're all re-amped, of course they're all so tasteful, that I'm like I could use any...or all of these.

    THE BEST IR IN THE WORLD! (free)

    Great vid for sure, looking forward to the rest of the cab pack this is from....that idea of picking your own bundle might be nice, as I have your first bass pack (Ampeg 4-10) and now have to re-buy it to get the Mesa Bass Cab...but no biggee, I'll save on the other pack (AC-30) that now comes...

    Okay, make that 7 bass packs, that Trace Elliot 1x15 sounds very useful!

    The III seems like a bass dream machine (or just a dream machine period).

    Yeah, his website's very easy to navigate and prices are way reasonable too, like 7.99 usd for each pack! I actually picked out 6 packs of just bass files, though I have to wait a bit to actually get them, as my wife's on my case at the moment having just spent a small fortune on upgrades to...

    Well you've got my vote for Official Fractal Bass Guy, of course the vote that matters comes from FAS. I gotta get your bass cabs for my XL, since I think I'm going to hold onto it for the next year and see what happens with bass on the III, so I need to complete my plan to trick out my II...

    AFIII To All The Pundits

    I liked 1 & 4 best and I'm also thinking they're the III, as from what I've heard from it so far, it's sounds just like the real amps it models, except quieter, a bit of extra sparkle on the top and a bit better bass handling. It's like every amp is just a really sweet sounding example of that...
  27. Dogstarr

    The III seems like a bass dream machine (or just a dream machine period).

    The Axe II and AX8 work great for bass, but it's far from the plug and play instant awesome tone that it is for guitar, I hope to see that change with the III. Personally, I think they should work closely with someone that's really into bass, like say Dr. Bonkers (who has done some special...

    AX8 vs Axe-Fx 2 vs Axe-Fx 3

    It's pretty clear that the III has a bit more sparkle on the top end and seems a bit fuller on the low, the differences are minor (right now ) and probably almost irrelevant in a recording at this point, but it's like every amp is just a touch sweeter (I listened with my eyes closed, but is was...

    Axe-Fx III vs Kemper Profiling Amp

    So basically a handicapped III beats the best Kemper can come up with. The KPA sounded comparable on a few amps and maybe even better on one or two, but mostly more compressed with a higher noise floor (the III is crazy quiet) on the KPA. To me the III sounds extremely natural and open...
  30. Dogstarr

    The III seems like a bass dream machine (or just a dream machine period).

    Yeah, I haven't even gotten on the list, my guess is it will get a lot more bass specific effects and amps, but over the course of several updates, so I'm figuring give it a year, maybe even two and it will likely be worth it as a step up, but no real need to run out and get one at launch, wait...
  31. Dogstarr

    Any bass players rocking a III yet?

    No doubt it's already a bit better for bass, just with the additional routing and I assume that among the 2048 Factory Cabs they've included quite a few from ML Labs Bass Cab Packs and (hopefully) Dr. Bonkers (I know it has some special bass Cab mixes from Dr Bonkers), I think more will be done...
  32. Dogstarr

    Amp in a Room vs Studio Recorded Tones

    Maybe you should just say raw, live type tones vs. heavily processed studio tones, in general I prefer to use rawer tones, but that new Tri-Chorus in the III is going for a very processed 80s studio sound and we all want that sound too, right?
  33. Dogstarr

    Are these Axe-Fx 2 hardware limitations?

    You can't port the hardware, I have no doubt there'll be future upgrades ported to the II and AX8, they'll just be fewer and come after updates to the III. Cliff says (with many hours work), they could likely port all the current software improvements to the II, but it's a discontinued unit, so...
  34. Dogstarr

    The III seems like a bass dream machine (or just a dream machine period).

    Other then the custom IR mixes from Dr Bonkers, I don't think it's any more bass-centric at launch, I expect that it will get a lot better for bass over time, but that remains to be seen.
  35. Dogstarr

    AFIII Fender Demo

    Very sweet tone, great playing too. I know I'm a way from getting a III (and this II thing you sold me is still giving me everything I could ask for and more), but this is inspiring to hear and gives me something to really look forward to when I do get it, thanks!

    Is 9.04 The Last Firmware For The Axe-Fx II?

    XLR to TS

    Should be fine, though might he not get a better noise floor with the Humbuster Outs for TS Ins? Anyway, you can buy XLR to TS cables, should be XLR Female to TS (Male). Here's a really nice one, bit pricey, but it's Mogami Cable with Neutrik connectors and you can customize it in color and...

    Is 9.04 The Last Firmware For The Axe-Fx II?

    Cliff already replied, but I was going to say, unlikely, as I imagine there's an update coming to bring in some of the epiphanies discovered in Ares.... I'm hoping we'll see some nice things for bass trickle down to the II, though I know I have a III in my future, would be great to see the B-15...

    Has the Ax lll shipped yet?

    I haven't even gotten on the list yet and I'm still excited, I'll probably be looking at August to actually get a III, but all your upcoming posts will help make the wait - oh, it'll make it tougher, oh well, my II still works flawlessly.

    Modeler Stress Test

    1 and 2 sounded nearly identical to my ears, 1 does seem to have a bit more top end sparkle on that last chord, but the real difference in the tones that I hear is the III (2nd take) has a lower noise floor, far from a bad thing (and it only gets better from here).

    Ares on XL+ ... mission possible or impossible!

    I have a TC Helicon thing that's nice and they had a software update utility they released with it, it got exactly zero updates... Had some L6 stuff, they released some updates in the form of amp packs they wanted to sell me (or more like EQ settings they call amp packs!)... Then there's my...

    Ares on XL+ ... mission possible or impossible!

    Cliff said he can't switch the modeling on the older units, doesn't mean they won't get trickle down improvements from Ares....why would you even read that into his statement? Clearly you won't be able to take all the power of the III and insert it into the older units, there wouldn't be a III...
  43. Dogstarr

    Really dont get it ! why the downsize when there is more options.

    I like the new pedals, to me the MFC was overkill, the FC6 will work great for many who need control, but want a small footprint, for me the FC 12 is ideal, but they may offer a larger one at some point, still if you used both units you have 18 and could probably organize things so you're not...
  44. Dogstarr

    Modeler Stress Test

    Awesome, I guessed right...more importantly, while none of the takes sounded "good", the best of the bunch was the III ( by popular vote - I don't know, can the Russians get in and mess with the electoral on this :D ? ). Not surprised though, the II already beats many of the amps it's modeled...
  45. Dogstarr

    III vs XL+: Please give me your advice.

    Yeah, the II is a great unit, but you really should just wait and pay a bit more for the III, the new user interface should actually make it easier to use, while also allowing deeper editing from the front panel. All the new features, amps to come and improvements will be overkill most likely...

    MFC101 Mk III with Axe Fx III

    You really doubt there will be something spectacular in it?

    Auto-Match cab to amp?

    I agree it would be a useful option to have, far more useful than the same function in a L6 product, I had their products before for a short time, okay for rhythm in the mix, but I went back to tubes after using their stuff (and added a lot more glass to my signal paths in general). I know the...
  48. Dogstarr

    Auto-Match cab to amp?

    Yeah, but not with results that are truly meaningful, all their stuff sounds dull and lifeless to me. They have more bass stuff too, but it doesn't sound good, so who cares? They even modeled the Pearce BC-1, an odd 80s SS amp for Billy Sheehan, but the real one sounds bad in the first place...

    Presenting... The Axe-Fx III

    When you consider how much is packed in the box, it's pretty slim, used to take about 16 rack spaces to do something similar! :D
  50. Dogstarr

    Is it me or is the Axe fx 3 aesthetically unpleasing?

    Looks like a solidly built 3 rack unit with a very nice UI. Seems like it needed the extra space for all the ins and outs as much as the vastly improved color display. If they tried to cram all the jacks into a 2 space, things would be uncomfortably tight back there. I'm quite sure the larger...
  51. Dogstarr

    Only 2 Amps?

    It really just depends on what you're doing, I use 3 amps all the time on bass, 2 Ampeg SVP preamps, one set cleaner, once set real grindy, for my dry sound and a Fender set clean running through a stereo chorus (usually 100% wet), it's a real nice sound, gets a lot of compliments. On guitars I...

    Post Axe-Fx III Launch ... Amp Model Requests

    I know Cliff mentioned a B-15 and Model T are in the works, guessing they'll show up on the II too, but certainly coming on the III...yeah, more bass amps and probably a few more drive pedals along with either the ability to inject an external preamp into any power amp (bypass the internal...
  53. Dogstarr

    Only 2 Amps?

    I think it's likely that Cliff will work on the aliasing issue and when it's ready, add the option for 3 (or maybe even 4) amps. So it starts with 2 that sound stellar and the ability to mix cabs, (virtually) seamless switching and a crazy amount of ins and outs, but I think of Fractal gear a...
  54. Dogstarr

    axe-fx II & III combined, what are the options?

    The II's just as great today as before the III was announced, yeah, up to 4 amps combined and having both the II and III may not be as good as having 2 IIIs, but it certainly is a good selling point for time in a studio. Does anyone know with certainty that they are even discontinuing the IIs...
  55. Dogstarr

    The III seems like a bass dream machine (or just a dream machine period).

    Yep, there are a lot of ifs for sure. As much as I don't want to spend another 2500usd, I'm hoping it'll be a must have for studio integration and for bass (want to see the sort of plug and play awesome instant tones happening for bass too this time). I'm also hoping that with all the ins and...

    AxeFX III: What's Missing?

    Yeah, I get that, I know that some of my gear has little annoying quirks and we're all tougher on our own sound then others, seems very close to seamless, but if it doesn't work for you, it doesn't. To me it opens up the possibility of getting very live sounding takes in the studio, normally...

    AxeFX III: What's Missing?

    Klone? :D
  58. Dogstarr

    AxeFX III: What's Missing?

    Exactly my point, I don't think we'll be bothered by it much either, it's actually very nice switching in the simulated example posted, which has more of a gap then the actual units will have.
  59. Dogstarr

    AxeFX III: What's Missing?

    So the clip has a more abrupt change then the III, yet the clip was quite smooth, you can hear the tone change, but can't imagine an audience will sense it in the least, the switching is one of the best features added to the III.
  60. Dogstarr

    Fractal Buyback Program?

    It's not like the II is suddenly junk, still sounds better then anything else out there, with the exception of the III, that's not actually out yet. The going rate on reselling a 2 is likely around 1500usd, and it's just plain better then that, even if it never gets updated again. Of course I...
  61. Dogstarr

    Can we get some comparison audio?

    Give it a little time, the modeling is basically the same at this point, so the minor differences in sound won't likely be noticeable through a computer. Give it a couple years though and there'll be significant improvements on the III, that just won't be possible on the II, the AX8, etc., plus...
  62. Dogstarr

    Using clean amps without a cab = good?

    Yeah, cabs seem to make a lot less of an impact on clean tones, sounds good, so why worry if it's "correct"? My ears say it's just fine with no cab there. I had one of those Palmer Cab sims, it had the unfiltered clean (no cab sim) path on a blend knob, so if you set up your signal path like...
  63. Dogstarr

    The III seems like a bass dream machine (or just a dream machine period).

    With the multiple signal paths, would seem to be potentially a real bass machine, though no doubt it'll be phenomenal for guitar, it really seems like they were thinking bass too on this one. I guess the downside is that we probably won't see a lot more bass specific updates for the II, so we...
  64. Dogstarr

    Does it sound better than the Axe Fx 2 XL+?

    And it already feels as good as the II, all these updates that have improved the II, well the III is starting there. Am I going to sell my II? Why? It still sounds great and will work very well with the III, sure the III will ultimately surpass it, as the IV will eventually surpass the III, but...
  65. Dogstarr

    AX8 B7K Demo

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 9.01 Firmware Release

    Brianv4 was actually asking about an issue he was having with the AC-15, I mentioned the AC-30 (for bass actually, I like the AC-15 through a 2-12 a touch more on guitar), but guessing it's the same issue...easy enough fix, suggested setting, or just use your ears? Thanks for the quick response...

    I guess I'll find out soon, I'm about to update and like splitting my bass to either the SV, or USA 400 for the lows and running the high and high mids through the AC 30 sim (to Bass Cab IRs), if it muddies up the bass on guitar, it will definitely sound like sludge on an actual bass, sounfs...
  68. Dogstarr

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 9.01 Firmware Release

    Sounds like maybe it's clipping somewhere it shouldn't in the Axe, maybe levels got changed a bit and you have digital clipping, or on the input? Definitely sounds like something's off.
  69. Dogstarr

    AX8 B7K Demo

    I've been getting great sounds from the Axe just splitting my signal with one side handling the "normal bass sounds" (like using the SV or USA 400) and the other going through something for guitar (actually digging the Vox but out through bass cabs) for distortion, finally updating my FW and...

    The Bass Preset Collection Project

    The Bass Preset Collection Project

    I usually split my signal, going10" for highs and mids,15" for lows, but I base that idea off real world set-ups, sometimes things in the virtual world can work better not following the old school ways and just using your ears, for instance, my favorite tone at the moment for bass in the AFX is...

    ML Cab Pack 23 Citrus 2x12 - heavy fuzz rock/almost industrial

    Nice tones and cool track, sounds like another great cab pack's on the way, gotta still grab the AC pack, though mostly tracking bass at the moment (the ML SV 4-10's have really helped a ton in that).
  76. Dogstarr

    Anyone know how to get this sort of bass tone???

    I think this is close, certainly on the right track, now if you get that tone perfect, it probably sounds kinda dull on it's own, I'd add that I think they have the lows running clean, as I don't hear a lot of grit in the sub 100hz range, but the mids and highs are certainly pretty fuzzy, cool...

    ML Comparison: Amplitube Mesa Boogie vs Axe-Fx

    Great vids again, I think your cabs do a lot for the Amplitube and more proof of how much difference the cabs make, as the Amplitube Cabs make the Axe sound about as bad as the Amplitube sounds with the ML Cabs. Is it me, or does Amplitube really make everything sound kinda like it's running...

    Why is De-Phase necessary?

    Necessary? Probably not - lots of great sounds have come from the Axe before it got De-Phase, why even gear that existed before the Axe came out was capable of producing subjectively "good tone", in fact you may notice that the Axe has many incredibly accurate models of gear that existed prior...

    Glenn Fricker's Opinion.

    Why worry about his opinion? As his shirt points out everyone has one and while he may mention the Axe in what seems a disparaging way, it's not the quality, or abilities he's talking about, he's saying playing and writing should be more important then what you're playing through and that...

    Yeah, the thing excels at those midgain tones (not exactly a slouch on high gain, or clean either), this amp should be a very nice addition and pairing it with the Texas Star (Lonestar) 2-12 is definitely in my future...will probably stick it with one of Clark's ML SV 4-10s too, as I find pretty...

    Brit Floyd Presets

    Thanks much to Bobby for posting these, as well as the tips he gives on using each preset, good luck in your next project, no doubt, we'll be hearing more from and about you in the future! Haven't been posting much, as I'm recording a lot right now, mostly bass and mostly using the Axe for...

    New Keith Urban Amp

    I think that trying some of Tyler's suggestions will likely be helpful, but is it the type of amp you usually enjoy? It definitely is up my alley and probably will sound very nice with one of the Texas Star IRs (I bought the cab pack with those, but I think there's at least one of those up...

    RIP Chris Squire

    How sad, yeah, incredibly influential and a game-changer when it came to tone, what I don't get is I just read it here first, okay, I've been on the road for the past week, but nbcnews.com has some blurb about the current (or no past) hired hand drummer for Journey facing charges and nothing on...

    Music recommandations for a long run

    Well what types of music do you enjoy? And your wife and child? I really enjoy a lot of types myself and for long trips may go the classic route, like The Wall, or the White Album as it has some pretty kid friendly stuff on it and though we've all heard it since we were babies, today's kids...

    Axe-Fx II Firmware 19.00 Released

    Too many improvements? Not doing everything it's capable of? I think it's just a matter of Cliff actually made the thing from the start to be future proof, many products claim that, but this one actually is that, so as Cliff and Co come up with new ways of improving sounds and functionality...

    Cab Pack 13! Misha Mansoor!!!

    Looking forward to the sound-clips, yep, guessing this is a mighty good cab pack, now I just need more slots for user cabs in my XL! Oh and to get some stuff recorded with the ML SV Bass pack, great stuff!

    Hobby --> Career

    Well some call it a hobbication, I'm basically doing two jobs, lucky that my day job's in the arts too, but would love to go full-time music, without doing 5 shows at local dives every week (have friends that just circle around the state playing, Allmans, Eagles and other classic and Southern...

    1500 bucks, you say, Line6?

    Glad Cliff got it cleared up on the actual power and good news that with a few tweaks our XLs should be able to do as many as 12 Helix quality amps at the same time, no more need to carry that wall of amps around! Seriously, how many times can you remember buying some new piece of gear and it...

    Romeo Rose - Libel and Slander against FAS

    Would seem he considers himself to be a comedian, though it seems to have escaped him that he's not perceived as funny by anyone beyond himself, what I'm wondering is why on earth he'd need an Axe, a Helix (or really even an HM-2) when his music seems to be a simple riff that repeats, he needs a...

    1500 bucks, you say, Line6?

    Wow, this string got a bit nuts, but figured I'd jump back in to clear up some misconceptions that seems to be floating around, okay, we know it has basically the same computing power as the single channel upcoming AX8, yet they claim it's going to produce FAS quality tone and FX with 4 channels...

    1500 bucks, you say, Line6?

    I don't think most of you will want to go back to 45 amps and only 30 cabs (though it'll hold up to 128 - but I'd like more room for IRs in my XL with over 500 slots), does have some nice in/out and editing features, so probably a pretty good chance that the Axe 3 will actually deliver on some...

    Which Cab Pack next? Do you like it BIG or small?

    Does sound like a great 4x12, but I voted for the small cabs, just seems like we can use more variety - we could also use more cab slots on the XL (if it's possible to allocate more of the memory for that purpose), as I'd love to put another 500+ cabs in the Axe!
