    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 19.05

    Regarding scene ignore...I think that I understand the concept &, as always, I'm grateful for the continued improvement to the Axe FX3 et al but perhaps I am also missing the point. If it's necessary to keep say an amp on channel 1 in every scene then why not simply set it to that for every...

    Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy's 1400+ NAKED AMPS TonePack for firmware Cygnus X2

    Thanks. It's just down to the way that I set my presets. I think this will work if I just use the Amp block to mute rather than using the Cab block too. I can see why you have done it that way but I wasn't getting any sound! It's all part of the steep learning curve! Great update and thanks...

    Huge difference between FR/FR and PA

    Could it be over or under signal strength? I'm thinking -10db/ +4db. PA channel gain too high/ too low?

    Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy's 1400+ NAKED AMPS TonePack for firmware Cygnus X2

    Hi, I wonder if someone might answer a question for me please? At present I am using a SS power amp with a 2x12 Orange cab. It's therefore best to switch off cab modelling but I occasionally wear headphones so I usually just bypass the cab block when I try a preset. The I do this in one of the...

    Great sounds using the Plex delay. Please tell me what is the purpose of putting it in parallel with a shunt?

    Using a PEQ with a real cab

    The SLA & Orange are for what I would term "backline". The PA is just because I would like to "future proof" the presets. i.e. get ahead & have them ready for larger venues supplementing the backline. On other threads people have indicated that with using Outputs 1 & 2 it is best to put the...

    Playing live. Low volume problem.

    So a recap. The changes made so far are: Amp master volume down & level up. Output to +4db from -10db. These have made a big difference which I expect will be apparent at the next rehearsal. I have also reverted to one cab for now as I think that it will be easier to experiment & get the...

    Correct. There is no mention of 16 ohms in their manual. I extrapolated the information. Seems a reasonable assumption though.

    Ok so the Matrix 1K puts out 150W @ 16 ohms so yes it would blow the Orange 2x12 rated at 120W.
