    Super Reverb Glory

    I keep thinking I'm a Marshall player, but then the Fender sounds get me where I want to be so I'm going with that flow haha. Might have to pair with an AC30 and try and rip off Daniel Lanois better next Excellent, thanks! I figured with those being readily available to everyone it wouldn't be...

    Super Reverb Glory

    Is anyone else totally blown away by the sounds in the newest firmware? Especially the Fender amps? Recently, I found myself lucky enough to take in a Murphy Lab 1954 Goldtop Reissue and found out that P90's are absolutely what I've been after sonically. Immediately I deleted all of my presets...

    Good Axe III case - finer ones, options?

    Just wanted to add another option here -- I recently ordered this 6 space shell from V Boutique (who also made the vertical 2x12 this is standing on). As far as fit goes, the handles stick out of the front a bit and the back lines up almost flush. I love how it fits the Axe 3 and keeps...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 26.00 Public Beta

    I've been playing around more with beta 26 using my Silver Sky into the EVH 5153 100W Green amp and new stealth cab and have been closer than ever to just recording and printing guitar tracks. This amp is SO underrated! Seriously blown away here -- this is mostly bridge pickup into an Analog...

    More Mic Preamp Routing Questions With the Axe FX 3

    Funnily enough, I've actually moved away from a dedicated interface in favor of using the Axe 3 as the all in one with the easy, one cable DI/reamp capability. Recently, I sold my Apollo x6, Undertone DI/reamp box as it was just too many options and finicky setup for how I like to work (I accept...

    More Mic Preamp Routing Questions With the Axe FX 3

    Excellent point--the juice not being worth the squeeze is definitely a consideration here. I've really been enjoying the options in the cab block especially on this newest firmware beta so I feel like setting it up to route through the Mike-E would be a serious bit of overkill/luxury if its...

    More Mic Preamp Routing Questions With the Axe FX 3

    I've got an Empirical Labs Mike-E on the way and plan on using it mainly as a preamp for microphones to get the level up/saturated/compressed a bit into my Axe III that I'm using as an audio interface. Recently I've been using a Rolls 48v power supply and a Soyuz launcher to get an SM7b into the...

    Unsure which unit to go for

    With these responses it's easy to see why they've got a successful product range of options to choose from lol I've been in and out of the Fractal ecosystem for about a decade and always think I'm going to end up running multi amp rigs with lots of effects, but always, always, always end up...

    Cab-Lab 4 DynaCab mute function problem

    I've noticed the same thing when using it this week and found that it's also really any of the parameters not working as expected. I can drag the mic around the speaker/engage and disengage the phase button without any audible change. I've been saving my sessions often and end up closing and...

    Unsure which unit to go for

    Ugh way to fuel the indecision Matt.. haha Heard, chef. I think I'm leaning towards an FM3 for the footprint and the fact that I can essentially just chuck it at the bottom of my rack and use it plugged in with an editor all the same and don't have much need for extra footswitches. Sounds like...

    Unsure which unit to go for

    I'm looking at jumping back into the Fractal camp and having trouble deciding which unit to go after. Traditionally I'd go after the rack unit, but I've always felt I don't take advantage of all that horsepower as I tend to just go for amp/cab/reverb/delay setups with the occasional tremolo or...

    IRs York Audio Master Thread - Newest Cab Pack: KW 412 M25-SH

    Today I broke into the FTWN 212 D120 pack and played around with the new beta firmware to further refine the speaker breakup thing. I tried to make the preset as simple as possible using only an amp and cab block and with these new room responses I can safely retire using the room algo in the...

    IRs York Audio Master Thread - Newest Cab Pack: KW 412 M25-SH

    Thanks! I know when I was first shopping around for 3rd party IR's I was always wanting something like this where you can hear it in and out of context. Really pleased that everything except for the heavy rhythm sound is the same base preset just with different effects toggled and different...

    Picked up the new Marshall cab pack and it went straight to my favorite IR set for any sounds I'm after. Absolutely love the teeth on it for chunkier stuff but am really blown away by how well it can handle a bunch of different kinds of sounds, in particular clean/edge of breakup by just...

    AFIII I made a record with an Axe Fx 3 and want to geek out about the sounds

    Hey thanks so much for checking it out! It’s funny—I had never actually heard Thrice until about halfway through writing these songs and they instantly shot to the top of my list and I could hear the similarities loud and clear. This is my first bonafide release on my own so I’m still finding my...

    AFIII I made a record with an Axe Fx 3 and want to geek out about the sounds

    Hey Everyone! I'm posting a novel here so TLDR: I used an Axe FX III for the first time to make a record and it sounds way sick and want to geek out about sounds and gear with you all. I'd love to hear any feedback positive or negative on these tones! Here's the YouTube playlist: For the...

    Do you use your III as a mixing tool?

    In the tracks I've been recording lately I've switched over completely to using the fractal--even going as far as reamping through it and triggering the effects on and off manually in axe edit so I can hear that shift all in a single track to simulate playing live in a band context, but also so...

    Hearing clipping with specific IR's/Presets only; Seeing jagged sine wave in align tab

    @York Audio Thanks for the suggestion! I tried out a bunch of alternatives, but ended up missing the baked in oomph for the profiled sound. I loaded another amp block and copied all of the settings until I found what added that crunch and I feel so, so dumb! The saturation switch was turned on...

    Hearing clipping with specific IR's/Presets only; Seeing jagged sine wave in align tab

    I've been playing around with some of the STL Tones preset packs (David Bendeth and Kris Crummett 2.0) and have found something strange with the IR's and tons of clipping when playing hard at all and especially with the neck pickup. I've attached a screenshot of what I'm seeing with every...

    Thank you! I went ahead and exported my favorite presets using your cabs so far. Hope the attachment works! These are definitely sounds that you have to tweak to fit the guitar you're using. That's one of the things I've noticed since I switched over to YA cabs exclusively--it's way, way closer...

    Thanks! I'm away from my fractal right now but I'm 99% sure this ones a combination of the Friedman small box with the old c45 trick to brighten it up on the way in and a boutique 1 acting as the wet amp with some harmonic trem and reverb on there. Matching appropriate @York Audio ir's on both...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 12.09

    I used to be worried about clean tones being too sterile (pre axe 2 days), but now I'm 100% addicted to using any of these amps to get something that has a TON of character that I hardly ever run the gain high anymore. Loving these updates lately!

    Going after the Thermae Sound...

    This effect is pretty glorious and I definitely wouldn't have thought of going this route without these suggestions! I tried @Bakerman's suggestion with the motor speed sequencer and set Head 1 Tempo to 1. I brought down the offset to -75 because I preferred how it darkened up when doing so...

    Going after the Thermae Sound...

    Hopefully I did the soundcloud embed thing correctly.. Starting with your suggestion got me a surprising amount of the way there!

    Anyone else running a pedalboard into Axe-Fx III?

    I've had kind of a bug to put a little pedal board together with effects that I thought I couldn't get from the Axe 3 itself. So far every time I sit down and go "Okay, how close can I get" I get way more than close enough and can usually expand on or extra specialize the effect to bond with...

    IRs York Audio Master Thread - Newest Cab Pack: KW 412 M25-SH

    I got super tweaky and created a preset using the VX cab on the left and DX on the right. All of these tracks are recorded in stereo and I only swapped L/R and gain staged them once they were in Logic. SUPER impressed with these and I just can't emphasize how amazing it is to get a tone that...

    Woah, just loaded up the VX15 pack.. It's shocking how up front, clear, and pleasant these are! Didn't really know what to expect because demos never quite line up with personal use cases, but WOW Pairing this with a lower gain Triple Crest preset and it's sweet!

    Creating Failure guitar sounds with the AxeFX III

    Recording Multiple DI's At Once?

    Yeah, you got it! The more I think about it the more it might be a dumb question haha So for recording both pickups in one take would it make sense to run it like so: -Bridge Pickup, Tip > Input 1 > Dedicated DI Output -Neck Pickup, Ring > Input 2 > IN2-OUTX Is the DI output of the Axe the...

    GGD: Studio Cabs

    Yeah, that intro price definitely makes it worth it for me at this point. I think the flexibility of exporting each speaker/mic individually gives it miles of runway past a typical cab pack and that's before messing with the proximity controls. AND these room sounds... Unf!

    GGD: Studio Cabs

    I was able to create a folder and browse to it thru the axe manage cabs function and add them that way. That way I can export them at their 'zero' points and still be able to edit within the fractal as far as levels/panning for each go. Sounds excellent so far!

    Output LED Monitoring

    I'm using the Axe 3 as an interface and am curious if there's a way to set the output LED's to be essentially pre-fader and not dependent on where the output knob is turned to. It's a little thing, but I think it'd be helpful to see how hot the signal is before it hits a knob. If this option is...

    XL+ External Pedals In FX Loop, DI Recording Question

    I have a nagging thought that I might find a way to send way too much signal into a pedal and break it haha. No idea if that's how it works, but mixing the fractal with random pedals is pretty new to me in this application. It'd be great if that worry is all in my head and it's plug 'n play

    The Flint Tremolo Done Right

    Trying to find out how The Contortionist gets their shimmery cleans.

    they're definitely using humbuckers in some form of split or with the volume backed off with a fair amount overdrive. i remember seeing too at one point that there's reverse delay happening and they used a mark v for the majority of the tones on the record
