    Firmware Upgrades and CPU Creep

    It was my understanding that Fractal had actually made the code more CPU efficient in the last couple of firmware releases. I now run my reverb on ultra high or whatever the highest setting is. I want convolution dammnit.

    Prince "solo" flanger setting lets go crazy

    I hear a flanger at the end. High rate, after he does the feedback lead riff at the end. Sounds like my boss purple flanger from like a million years ago.

    FM3 Muddy sound through In Ear Monitors

    There are a lot of factors at play, but in the amp section, there is a bass cut switch. Better yet, on the cab block itself there are low and high pass filters. I find the bass should be set around 80HrZ. Treble depends on if single coil or humbuckers. Your sound guy can also eq the sound...

    Now everyone has Cygnus, do you think you should still reduce cab block hi's from 20,000 to 6,000-8,500

    Depends on the guitar I am using. Suhr SSS Strat, 6500-7000 hi cut, Charvel HSS, 9000

    FM3 Muddy sound through In Ear Monitors

    V63’s are the former ML Classic I think. ML in the bridge V63 middle neck would damn near be perfect. With the tube screamer on, I am getting an awesome lead/rhythm sound from the bridge. I have the neck and middle lowered almost to the deck so they will spank.

    FM3 Muddy sound through In Ear Monitors

    So I spent some time with the soundman last night and it was the FM3, or at least the way I had set things. Basically, the bass cut switch and some level adjustment on the out1 side fixed it. It is now clean in my ears. With the OD off and the volume down, I get that spanky strat clean...

    No in ear infrastructure. Just a minimal PA in a bar. People will bitch if it gets to lopud and they cant have conversations, so I am a little freaked about hearing myself. At a practice, plugging the AX8 into the PA was a disaster, I couldnt hear myself.
