    The Joy of (Less) Variac

    To be honest, I saw this in a video on Reddit or Facebook, but it got me trying stuff out. On the "Power Supply" tab of the Amp block, there is "Variac". It's a percentage, with 100% being the mid-point and the default. My understanding is that it controls the AC power supply value, with 100%...

    IR's in FW9

    Up till now, there have been a large number of IR's that I really didn't like because they sounded way to nasally, and "not present". They were basically the opposite of "amp in the room", and no matter what I did, I couldn't get them to sound good (to me). By and large, this was most of the...

    It's Been Three Months Today...

    Since the last firmware update was released. Since I've had my AxeFX (a couple of years now), I think this is the longest time we've gone without a new release. I'm conficted: On the one hand, I love the new firmware releases which have pretty much always come with noticeable improvements to...

    What About a "Cabinet Nullifier" Block?

    Something occurred to me while reading another thread. I can think of two situations that probably occur all the time: AxeFX user has FRFR speakers, but they're not quite FRFR. Patches don't sound the same when shared around. User has issues with "everything sounds dark...", and so on. AxeFX...

    Wrecker Rocket

    The Wrecker Rocket has been my preferred AC30ish model for some time now. I've noticed that it's been strongly affected by the various firmware changes over the past year or so. Sometimes, it's been really hard to dial in, other times it's sounded awesome with default parameters. I found...

    In Praise of the 6G12 Concert

    This has been the model in my preset "0" for some time now. I pair it up with factory cab #22, the "2x12 BROWN SUPER M160", and it becomes a general purpose monster for just about anything not metal. It's got a balanced tone, with enough bass to sound rich but not muddy and enough top end that...

    Preamp tubes and hardness

    I know this has been mentioned here before, but I was surprised how big a difference the preamp hardness made on the sound when comparing preamp tube types. I was auditioning the Sylvania v. JJ 12AX7A, and I noticed that the hardness reset when you changed the tube type. The JJ was running at...

    Preset Auditioning Tunes

    I'm wondering if anyone else has a set of snippets from tunes that you use to test out various aspects of a preset, especially the amp block? I tend to play in a low gain, classic rock and blues context. So here are the tunes I find myself using and what I get out of them: First, "The Shape...

    I know it's in the manual, but...

    I have a FCB1010 with an UNO chip. It's works pretty well, and certainly worth the money but everything is a bit of a compromise. I have it set in stompbox mode, and I've set up switches 6-8 on the bypass for drive, chorus and delay (chorus might be replaced with something else in the future)...
