    Wish Big Muff Green Russian Tall Font Reissue - Ram's Head Reissue

    Necro bumping this because I’m seriously considering having to buy a HX Stomp to have a few different (and incredibly well executed, I must admit) Big Muff variants at my disposal when using the Axe III…which is a mighty shame, imo. I’d love for there to be a Green Russian and Rams Head in the...

    Anyone compare that new 2290 pedal to our 2290 delay?

    You could try the 2290 plugin for free (for the trial period) and compare them. Because I'm convinced that the pedal isn't too far from the plugin. If it wasn't the same algorithm I'd be surprised. It's a beautiful pedal though, admittedly, and well implemented. For me, I use Fractal's 2290 and...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 23.00 Release

    True Class A Amplifiers

    Me too. I've had pretty much every version except the 50 watt. Mainly due to what someone alluded to above...cost of tubes and upkeep alone!!! The 20w was my favourite and the 5w was a cool little thing to have around! I'd love any of them in the Fractal, tbh!

    True Class A Amplifiers

    Laney Lionheart L50H with its 5x EL34 power tubes is probably the king of Pure Single ended Class A amplifiers, IMO. Let's get one in the Fractal library! :)

    What Amp Models would you like to see added?

    I'd love to see the Laney Lionheart L50 or L20. Amazing sounding Class A amps.

    Understanding delay feedback and master feedback for oscillation

    That’s very clever, I don’t think of doing stuff like that, but it would be very useful for my needs. Thanks for the idea! Yep, the reverbs are awesome too. I’ve been on a bit of an analogue pedal hunt in recent weeks. Got myself a spaceman aurora which is immense. Following that trend I had a...

    Understanding delay feedback and master feedback for oscillation

    Brilliant, mate, I hoped you'd chime in! Great to hear from you! :-) You make a cracking point about where you are on the fretboard being an important factor. Certain resonant frequencies cause that bloom and nice clipping in the oscillation that we love/hate, depending on ones persuasion. I...

    Understanding delay feedback and master feedback for oscillation

    Are new amps really needed?

    I have tried the Morgan and haven't matched my recording of my old Copper. I don't disagree that some of their amps might be achievable with other algorithms, but there's a lot of crossover already in there that I don't see the issue with adding more. The Kraken is more unique and perhaps...
  23. Jonathan Thomas

    Are new amps really needed?

    I think so. While I love everything that's there, there's a big gaping hole with regards to the Victory amp lineup (Kraken, Copper, Sheriff, Duchess, Jack etc). Mezzabarba MZero would be nice and my personal favourite Class A amp, the Laney Lionheart (50w or 20w, I don't mind). Would absolutely...

    Axe-Fx Firmware Version 21.02 Public Beta (Beta 2)

    Has anyone got a list that confirms which of our pool of compressors are which? That'd be super handy to know and also, this is truly enlightening to me as I've never heard of this before. It totally makes sense too, as some comps sound better for pushing gain further upstream than others, in...

    Euclidean delay patterns from DL4 Mkii

    Long shot, but anyone able to help get some of the Euclidean patterns from the DL4 Mkii, I assume it's possible, but I don't have a DL4 Mkii any more to A/B against. There's a good illustration of the patterns in the manual, but how they match up to rhythms in a Fractal delay, I've no idea...

    Can I record the 100% wet del/rev only via USB output and monitoring signal from USB before it hits Logic!?

    Hi, two questions: Is there a way to split the Effects only sounds to a specific USB output? So that I can record the 100% wet Delay and Reverb signal to a separate track to the dry signal and (separately) the D.I. signal? I have an RME interface and the Axe FX III, I use TotalMix (RME...

    Axe-Fx III and Mac mini M1 - Reaper and Garage Band don't receive audio from Axe-Fx III

    I think there's an option next to the buy now button on the apple website - logic x page. I agree with this, it's working brilliantly for me so far. I think I'm definitely going to make the switch after my trial...gives me three months to save as it's such a long trial period! Bonus!

    Axe-Fx III and Mac mini M1 - Reaper and Garage Band don't receive audio from Axe-Fx III

    Probably best to install the Intel version for now as the M1 version doesn't prompt you to permit microphone access, the Intel one does upon first start up. Incidentally, I've decided to give the Logic free trial a go and it's by far my user friendly than Reaper is, IMO. I may switch permanently!

Rosetta 2 is the bridge for old apps on the new Mac mini, but would be good to know if it's been tested by anyone here...

    Has the sound quality or tone changed on the 2290mod and Plate Reverbs since Axe II XL to Axe III?
