    Cab Lab 3.5 no longer working with AFX3 since Dynacabs update?

    Thankyou, lets hope that's soon as this is now a useless piece of software for me.

    Cab Lab 3.5 no longer working with AFX3 since Dynacabs update?

    I haven't used Cablab standalone for some time, I tried today but it seems that mixes can no longer be sent to the cab block, is this because of the Dynacabs update? The last time I used Cablab, mixes could only be sent to slot 3 and 4 with the bank scratchpad and the number set to correspond...

    Axe-Fx Firmware Version 21.00 Public Beta (Beta 1)

    Just a heads up for everyone, I noticed a drop in volume on some of my presets after installing 21.00 beta, found that the Negative Feedback had been set back to stock values on amps that I had adjusted this on (1959SLP Plexi 2204 etc), also found the Amp Block Input Low Cut had been reset to stock

    FW 19.00 Drive 2 Bug?

    Turned the Axe back on a few minutes ago, Drive block 2 working properly again now. Nothing changed in any preset, including the one attached, just the Axe has been switched off and on again. Strange, very strange.

    FW 19.00 Drive 2 Bug?

    No, Drive 2 is not bypassed, it is active, in fact if the drive block is bypassed, I get sound output from the preset. This isn.t happening on just one preset either, it is across multiple presets. One thing I notice is when monitoring the block levels from the front panel of the axe, there is...

    FW 19.00 Drive 2 Bug?

    Has anyone else come across a bug with the Drive 2 block in FW19.00? Some of the drives mute the sound when selected in drive 2. For example, the three Timothy drives, TS808, Tone of Kings (there are many more) mute the sound completely when selected in Drive 2, yet others produce sound as...

    Just came across this problem myself (for Cab Lab also), thought I was going stupid when I couldn't find the scratchpad option in my cab block, then noticed the caveat at the bottom of the manual page posted by unix-guy "On the Axe Fx iii, the scratchpad supports FullRes, so this option is...

    Using Output 3 (or 4) as a Third Amplified Output

    For those that are using output 3 as a third amplified output, how do you set your levels? Outputs 3 and 4 are around 20db lower than outputs 1 and 2, so are you boosting this internally, by increasing the 'OUT 3' block output, or are you just living with this and increasing the external...

    Why are humbuster outputs 1 lower volume than xlr?

    Thankyou mr fender for the reply. If I rewire my trs cable to be a humbuster cable, will the volume increase?

    When I use the humbuster outputs 1, they are much lower volume than when using the xlr outputs, why? I have tried this using trs to trs cables, trs to xlr, and ts to ts cables. If I insert the trs or ts cables so that they are not fully inserted, in either the back of the axe or the amplifier...

    Fractal discount in EU?

    Not the case, I just bought my Axe FX 3 from G66, I am from the UK. We do not pay EU VAT, and there is a further temporary 3% reduction for UK customers due to G66 taking care of import duties following Brexit. I paid £1854 to G66 after currency charges. I then had to pay UK VAT which was a...

    Question for Atomic CLR Owners

    Thanks for the replies. I have always switched the CLR on last and off first, maybe I was just unlucky. Apparently a power module failure, no more explanation than that from Atomic, seems to be the main reason for CLR problems.

    Question for Atomic CLR Owners

    I have just received my repaired control module of a CLR Neo Mk2 wedge back from Atomic, and got me thinking how it was damaged in the first place, did I contribute to its failure. Before the power module failed, I used to turn the output from the Axe to zero, then turn the CLR off via the...

    Why are we chasing the amp in the room sound?

    I enjoy the amp in the room sound, even at bedroom volumes I think a real guitar cab adds something, so it has nothing to do with SPL levels or trouser flapping air pressure. An earlier comment in this thread stated that a mic'd cab will always have a 'comb filter effect' on the resultant sound...

    One Song with [FXIII, Kemper, HX Stomp]

    Out of the three tracks, if I had to choose one as my favourite, it would be the Kemper, Axe 2nd, HX 3rd. To me the Kemper is more round and full, particularly in the clean section, yet still cuts through the mix in the overdriven parts, more pleasing to my ear. The HX seems a little harsh and...

    Atomic CLR - replace with Adam A7X/8X? (probably not)

    I have a Neo mk 2, also bought at Andertons 2 to 3 years ago. Apart from one occasion, has only ever been used at home at relativity low volumes, is currently in the US waiting to be repaired due to a suspected power module failure. Evidently there are still problems with CLR's

    Fractal Cab Fx?

    Yes, an actual speaker that models the sound/feel/resonance of the real world counterpart. The cab modelling at the moment is of a mic' d cab, and hence the sound reproduced is that of a mic' d cab, it does not replicate the live sound/feel of a guitar cab (amp in the room). A cab modeller...

    Speaker Impedance Curves for Axe 2

    Speaker Impedance Curves for Axe 2

    Speaker Impedance Curves for Axe 2

    Ok, let me re-phrase that, does the speaker impedance curve interact differently in the Axe 3 'system' compared to the Axe 2, because of a difference in the way the firmware is written (assuming similar curve parameters)?

    Speaker Impedance Curves for Axe 2

    With the new speaker impedance curves in the amp block introduced in fw11 for Axe 3, is there a difference in the way the firmware code is written in the Axe 3 compared to the Axe 2, so that the curves interact differently with the impulse response?

    Axe as soundcard - seperating DAW track from Axe guitar track

    I've been recording some tracks with a friend, his preference is to have the drums in particular very loud in comparison to the guitar track being recorded.

    Headphones vs Monitors

    If anything, my experience is the exact opposite of what you are experiencing.
