    I would love this as well.

    Wish Mesa Mark I

    I’ve been going down a Weezer rabbit hole lately, and it seems like this amp was a big part of the sound of their first record. I would absolutely be over the moon if a model of this made it in at some point.

    Axe III via Studio Monitor v.s. Tube Combo at the Same Volume

    This is kind of a fascinating topic for me. Does anybody have a resource for "best practices" when adding a "rear" mic to your cab block? I've always just mixed them low, but if there's something else to do to account for the delay Cliff is talking about, I'd love to hear about it.

    Axe-Edit III 1.08.13

    I am SO excited about the new amp reset feature. I posted about this on these forums a couple years ago and am beyond thrilled that this feature is now here. Thanks so much.

    Axe-Fx III 16.00 Beta 4 "Cygnus" Firmware - Public Beta

    Hi! I've played with Fractal gear for maybe 5 years now, and this is the most profound and significant improvement I've heard yet (including even the jump from the 2 to the III). I live in low / medium gain land, and so much is sounding musical and effortless and beautiful that has been a...

    What's the difference between purple and green cabs?

    Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but this conversation seemed like it could be the best place for my question. I'm noticing that my cabs are switching back and forth between green and purple with some regularity. I will import cabs and they will be purple for awhile, and then later, they will...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 12.14

    Sort of a philosophical question - if you're finding this parameter sounds better in this range, would you ever change the default setting to line up with what you think sounds better? Or is the default value of 1 closer to the actual "real world" amplifier, and as such, is something that you...

    FAS Class-A is...Even Better than the Real Thing

    That makes sense, even with my extremely limited understanding of what’s really going on. I wonder if there any other 60s / 70s designs that would benefit from being “modernized” this way. Thank you for the response!

    FAS Class-A is...Even Better than the Real Thing

    This thread got me messing around with the Class-A and Supertweed models, and they are feeling great to me. So much easier to dial a good tone in than some of the tweed / class a amp models, and the "feel" is really satisfying to play with. I'm not at all a high gain guy, so I wonder if there...

    Help the Fight Against COVID-19

    Keep in mind that a huge chunk of US healthcare spending goes toward corporate profit, rather than care. Even though we make our people pay more for healthcare, on metrics like life expectancy and mortality in childbirth, other countries with nationalized systems often fare better.

    So, convince me to sell my Kemper...

    I feel like this is something that people don't usually talk about, but for me, a huge benefit of the Axe-FX vs. the Kemper is that I have LEARNED a ton from using the Axe-FX. When I had a Kemper, I basically just bought a bunch of profiles from places like TheAmpFactory and wherever else, and...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 9.00 Public Beta

    I'm hearing a lot of differences on my AC-20 patches, for sure. The amount of breakup at a given gain setting feels like it's lower than it was before, which is coincidentally making it easier than ever to dial in shades of "dirty clean" and more straight-ahead crunch sounds. These sorts of...

    Closed Amp block reset, retaining values on "Authentic" page

    Thank you for the recommendation! If worse comes to worse, I'll figure out how to make Fractool work. Windows always stops me from running it, and having to disable system security just to run it is something that I imagine lots of people don't have a problem with, but it's sort of a sticking...

    Closed Amp block reset, retaining values on "Authentic" page

In order to keep the amp model current with the current firmware, some of the updates include the suggestion to reset the amp blocks, and...

    Closed Amp block reset, retaining values on "Authentic" page

    Hi! This might be something that some people on this forum don't want/need, due to the way they're using the Axe-FX III, but I wanted to try to articulate something that would be super helpful for my workflow: a button that resets the amp channel but retains all of the settings on the...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 5.07

    Hey! Just to follow up on this AC30 comment - I just wanted to share an amp/cab combo that I've been loving lately. For my Gretsch Duo-Jet (with Dynasonic / DeArmond pickups), the AC20 Deluxe (EF86 Treble) with the 2x12 H30 cabs from the OwnHammer VC30 cab pack have been getting me Vox-style...

    AFIII New Jangle-pop / New wave / whatever-you-call-it song

    Hi! My band just released a new track yesterday that heavily features both the Axe-FX III and the AX8. Our process is that we record our base tracks at our practice space / studio, which I bring my AX8 to. We also record dry guitar tracks (by echoing input 1 to output 2) so I can reamp with...

    I thought the show was fun! Not the best year for movies, but I can’t imagine how something as frivolous as the Oscars managed to offend so many people so deeply. Sort of fascinating how outraged people are able to get about their imagined idea of “Hollywood.”

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 3.01

    These recent firmware updates may be what gets me to finally sell off my BigSky. I could never put my finger on what wasn't connecting with me about the Fractal reverbs in the past, and I guess the answer is that I just was never looking for realistic space simulations. I'm not the biggest...

    York Audio Delux Verb Cab Pack is out now!!!

    I just picked up this cab pack and am absolutely loving it. Right now, I think these are by far the best sounding Deluxe Reverb IR's I've heard. I would buy a pack of this quality that focused on a tweed Deluxe or Twin in a heartbeat.

    AFIII New indie rock / new wave song

    Hi! My band just posted our newest song, which is full of guitar tones from the Axe FX III. I lurk on these forums all the time, but I thought this song came out well, so I wanted to share it, in case you wanted to hear some poppier / rock vibes. The guitars on this song are largely a Bilt...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 2.03

    Was a similar shift made to SPDIF levels? I'm trying to reamp through SPDIF in the first time for awhile, and I'm getting super low input levels hitting input 1 when I set input 1 to listen to SPDIF. And I'm now noticing that when I change the input level of USB channels 5 and 6, the SPDIF...

    Gibson Announces New CEO and Other Executives

    If I hear about a lot of American workers getting laid off, it's my right to not buy a company's products anymore. You're correct to point out that ethical consumption is tricky (or impossible) in our current system, but I can't be coerced into buying a product from a company if I'm upset about...

    AFIII Tweed Deluxe

    Since getting an Axe III, the Tweed Deluxe has quickly become one of my favorite amp models. Being able to mix IR's of different microphones on a cab has really helped me understand / harness the flexibility of this model.

    Setting output levels for external effects

    Got it. So, is the preferred method of getting unity level (i.e., the level hitting output 1 is the same level hitting input 1) to set the level in the output block to -10? Thank you again for your help.

    Setting output levels for external effects

    Thank you for the response! I had sort of gotten the feeling that was the case. However, I am also using outs 3 and 4 for external effects (stereo delays and reverbs respectively). I've got those placed after amp blocks, so it's a slightly different situation. If I have to just use fewer loops...

    Setting output levels for external effects

    Hi everyone - quick question about setting up inputs and outputs on the Axe FX III. I've read the manual and searched the forum to see if anyone has asked this question before, and I'm not seeing it, but my apologies ahead of time if this has already been covered elsewhere. I've been messing...

    Fractal Audio AMP models: Blanknshp Leeds (Blankenship Leeds 21)

    I recently tried this model with my recently-purchased filtertron-equipped Gretsch hollow body. The guitar in question has beautiful clean sounds, but doesn't mesh well with many higher gain amp models, but with this model (using one of the H30 cabs from the recent OwnHammer VC30 cab pack), it...

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 7.00 Firmware Release

    I had a ton of fun messing around with the Wrecker Liverpool this morning on my AX8. I tend to really love Vox-ish sounds, but I've had trouble finding models that play nice with the Lollar Regals (similar to old Fender Wide Range Humbuckers) in my guitar. The Liverpool brought something really...

    PRIORITY ONE: MIDI CLOCKING

    I agree with the original poster. I recently purchased an AX8, and absolutely love it for the amp models, but for delay and reverb, I'm sticking with my Strymon pedals. As I've been working on rebuilding my setup this morning, I've been really caught off-guard by the discovery that, even...
