    Headroom feature on authentic page in amp block

    Oh, ok - so I misinterpreted the notes. I initially read it as meaning that only Non-MV amps get their distortion from the power amp and that all MV amps should run a 'clean' power amp. I see now this is not what was actually written. Thanks!

    Headroom feature on authentic page in amp block

    Question on this... The release notes say: Added “Headroom” monitoring meter to Amp block. The most common reason for “muddy” tones with high-gain amps is incorrect setting of the Master Volume control. The Headroom meter displays the voltage at the virtual power tubes in dB. If the Master...

    Wish Access Looper In Any Preset Without The Need To Add A Block

    To that point, IIRC, going to the Looper layout still won't work if you don't have a Looper block in the preset already.
  6. rcv24

    Wish Access Looper In Any Preset Without The Need To Add A Block

    Yes, there are completely different use cases for the looper which necessitate different placement (e.g., auditioning cabs vs playing over a loop at a live show).

    Leveling Presets and Output Level

    No, definitely not clipping, it's just moving into the red 2-3 dB - which is why I never did anything about it... the question just occurred to me as I was leveling presets that if there was a best practice, now would be the time to implement. Sounds like I'm doing what you do though, as I...

    Leveling Presets and Output Level

    I'm going through my presets using the new leveling feature via Axe-Edit. Typically my rhythm scene hovers around 0dB. When I engage my lead scene (+3dB filter block), it moves into the red (since >0dB is in the red of course). Should I aim to have the 'loudest' part of the preset at 0dB to...

    Looper control coupled with scene change?

    I'm finding that in a lot of the scenarios where I want to use the Looper block, it would be helpful to be able to start Record or Play/Stop at the same time I change scenes (or alternatively engage other blocks). For example, if the solo of a song is played over a rhythm section that was...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 13.02

    Out of curiosity, why would one add a new type as opposed to putting a switch in the existing type? Same question would apply to some of the amp types - I'm guessing there is a deep engineering reason, but a few sentence layman explanation would satisfy my curiosity just fine. ;)

    Don't try to consume too much of it during the trial period. Frankly, you should be able to dial things in fast enough on your own to figure out whether you like it or not. Cooper's course will allow you to maximize your spend once you decide to keep it. :)

    Yes, complete now. The Axe-FX III is such a complex beast, I feel pretty sure you'd get a lot out of it even if you're not new to the modeling concept. @ccroyalsenders does an excellent job of building everything from the ground up as well as going into some pretty advanced topics.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 11.00

    It appears that if you have the Global “Update Pre-11.x Presets Spkr Imp Upon Load" set to Yes, and a pre-11.x preset has a Global Amp Block, then the Cabinet Resonance parameter set to 0. All non-Global Amp Blocks have the parameter set to 100. Bug or feature?

    The Boss FS-7 is used as a Control Switch (described on p. 36 of the manual) so it can interact directly with modifiers. The thing I like about the FS-7 is it is 2 switches, each configurable to Momentary or Latching, in a very compact setup.
