    FM9 Firmware Version 7.00 public beta (1)

    Used it at a gig tonight. Sounded better than ever. I had my af3T in case beta issues happened. All good. Trying it tomorrow night, as well. Thanks FAS!

    NEW! DynaCab™ Pack: 4x12 Freed Man

    If you have the latest firmware, it will have the dyna-cab version of this cab. The difference is, the cablab version offers more mics and the ability to create your own custom IR. In this case, you can blend up to 4 different microphones into 1 IR. My favorite is the friedman mic technique of a...

    Axe FX III EMI issues? Thinking about upgrading from the II.

    I've been playing live 2-5 times a week for a couple years now with it, and it holds up very well. While there are a couple of venues around my area that are just known for having tons of EMI and dirty power, for the most part it works great. Those same venues make it impossible to play an...

    SIC curve different from FM9

    EMI from Heat Exchanger Unit

    It depends on what the problem is. If it is EMI, that is a magnetic field you need to move the gear away from. No amount of power conditioning will help that. It has a similar proximity effect to bringing a guitar close to a neon light or TV/monitor. If it is dirty power that is where a...

    Mine is at 8%. I have been curious why I would need such a low number for low output single coils. How does anyone with 21K humbuckers manage this? It seems off. Maybe this will be handled differently in the next hardware generation? It works fine for me, so no complaints yet. I do tend to...

    Wish Vibrato effect a la Boss VB-2

    It would be real nice to have a solid vibrato on here somewhere. The chorus just can't seem to do it, at least not with my ham handed tweaking. Here is a basic example at 7 min into the video:
  40. jimmynorrisjr

    Reverb Stack/Hold Fade Out

    If you need to change reverb blocks from one scene to the next, try adding another reverb block. If you bypass one then enable the other it is a much smoother transition.

    Cab-Lab 4 Version 1.00.02

    It is not that the IR is selecting the matching SIC, it is that the curve is botched. If you turn off auto SIC, select a different SIC, then back to the one auto picked, the curve is fixed. This is clearly either a bug in the amp block, something is wrong with axe edit, or something is wrong...
  58. jimmynorrisjr

    Cab-Lab 4 Version 1.00.02

    It says the "right" cab name, but the curve is jacked. As soon as I pick something else manually I'm good. I just can't use auto SIC, which kinda sucks.
  59. jimmynorrisjr

    Cab-Lab 4 Version 1.00.02

    I found it. It is the SIC in the amp block. If it is set to auto, it picks the basketweave curve, but the curve is all wrong. If I manually select something the blanket is lifted. Is this an axe-edit bug, or is there something wrong with mine? Maybe this shouldn't be in this thread now?
  60. jimmynorrisjr

    Cab-Lab 4 Version 1.00.02

    For some reason, the 1960 TV cabs sound off to me now. If I create a blend of an SM7 and a 121 and push it out to an IR, it sounds like a blanket is laid on top of it. If I create a dynacabs version with the same exact settings, it sounds great. Anyone else? What am I doing wrong?
