    Axe-Fx III Firmware 24.05 Release

    Tried this on my machine and although the Axe FX didn't lock up there is definitely a low level hum and the guitar sounds very distorted. Also happens with the SIC set to the 1x15 Heart Key

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 24.05 Release

    Hi Unix-Guy. I've upgraded from 22.01, that was the firmware I used at the last gig we did on New Years Eve, where the 1959 SLP sounded mushy. I used 24.05 last Saturday for the first time since NYE.

    Wish Add Micro Boost to Amp Preamp Boost Type

    I really like the Micro boost with the gain at around 0.65 and level at 5.0 because it provides a nice bit of fattening to the tone of the guitar. Similar to the Spark Booster in "fat" mode but with less gain. Any chance we could have it in the Amp Preamp Boost Type so I can have it as an...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 24.05 Release

    I use the SLP 1959 Plexi for around 80% of all my high gain and lead tones. Up until this firmware, its always sounded phenomenal out the PA but in my ears its been very muddy and vague. I haven't changed anything on the Axe FX and sound hasn't changed any settings on the desk, but it now sounds...
