    Metallica Preset help...

    I agree 100%. I struggled with this for a long time, trying to get a preset that sounds good with headphones, real cabs at different volumes, and studio monitors and it never works. When playing through my Cabs, a preset can sound amazing at high volumes but when I turn it down to bedroom...

    Wish Delay Preamp

    I just want the models to have the same mojo as the original Tape delays and DMM. I am assuming the preamps are not modeled and that is why they do not sound like a real Tape Delay or DMM. I will try the tape distortion and see what that does.

    Anyone running WDW, but using 2x FRFR monitors as the WETS with a real amp+cab as the dry?

    Interesting discussion, I just got WDW working with my setup. I use an Axe-FX III into a Fryette PS2A to power the Mesa cabinet for the dry signal. Then I use the output 1 to my HS8 studio monitor for the delay and reverb. It sounds fantastic, I can't believe I never tried this before.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta #2 (Cygnus X-3 Release Candidate)

    I wonder if the delay models in the Axe-Fx III do not have the built in preamp circuits, maybe that is what is missing.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta #2 (Cygnus X-3 Release Candidate)

    I really doubt I would be able to match it by ear, there is also a tone thickening that happens as well. That is why I was hoping Fractal could revisit the analog delays to reproduce this like with this amp model update using the new analysis methods.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta #2 (Cygnus X-3 Release Candidate)

    I am hoping the analog delays will be revisited at some point with the new measurements I have yet to find a digital emulation that can do a proper Deluxe Memory Man. I still use a DMM 1100 tap tempo in my loop because it adds some sort of thickening and analog warmth that the digital models...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta #2 (Cygnus X-3 Release Candidate)

    I think I can hear the "blurry thing" as well on the Mesa Mark amps, but turning down the Master Bias Excursion like Cliff suggested seems to lower that effect. Regardless I am super happy with the modeling of the Mesa Mark amps in this Beta, they sound exactly like my real amps now going...

    Writing down values does not tell you if there were modeling changes between Betas.
  12. A

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta #2 (Cygnus X-3 Release Candidate)

    But those are not the only items in the release notes any of the previous items could have been changed again, which is fine but you cannot tell that by doing a comparison.
  13. A

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta #2 (Cygnus X-3 Release Candidate)

    You can't just compare them, that doesn't make sense. There could be additional modeling changes between Betas but we would not be able to tell based on the release notes.

    By ear, and I disagree I think an expert with both devices should be able to get reasonably close EQ.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

    For the amp you could only do the comparison if you had the same model amp that exists in the Axe-FX III, you can run them through the same Cab or IR. It is asking a lot but I think it would be interesting. I only brought up the Mark IV since Leon has said on a few occasions that it is one of...
  21. A

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

    I would rather get a comparison against real amps since the ultimate goal is for accuracy to the real amp. Comparing against a previous firmware doesn't help us determine if it is more accurate unless they are both compared to the real amps.
  22. A

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

    I think the Mark amps are sounding more realistic than ever with this latest update, I would love a comparison/shootout between your Mark IV and the Axe-FX III model, using the same speaker cabs/IRs if possible.
  23. A

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

    I tried it both ways and generally preferred the tone after a reset and redialing in from scratch, at least with the limited amp models I use. But I can certainly understand not wanting to do that with a 100 presets.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

    The Mesa JP2C is my new favorite amp model with this update, it is absolutely perfect. The Mesa Mark models seem so realistic now going through my Power Station to my Mesa or Marshall Cab, it is glorious. The models sound better than my real Mark amp now so that is pretty crazy to me.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 24.03 Release

    If your worried about it, why not just wait a few weeks before updating. It is almost impossible to test every amp and use case, bugs are always going to exist in any software. So the longer you wait the more confident you can be with the release if no major bugs are reported.

    Axe FX3 and wireless systems

    SD Powerstage vs Fryette PS-100?

    Axe-FX III with Real cab vs. the Real thing

    What is working best for me with the Power Station, is using an impedance curve that I like, which is the Mesa 2x12. Then I put a parametric EQ at the end of the chain for high cuts and low cuts, Like I would do if using an IR. I am not hearing any hyped lows and highs using this method.
  43. A

    Axe-FX III with Real cab vs. the Real thing

    The Resistive Load IC can't be right for the Power Station, it sounds bad. I think it is best for me just to choose the best-sounding one and tweak the EQ on it as needed, most of them sound pretty good anyway.
  44. A

    Axe-FX III with Real cab vs. the Real thing

    The EQ sounded too flat and dull. But maybe if I select it first then dial in the patch it will be ok.
