    Rick Beato on string gauge

    I thought it was an interesting video, especially in regard to tone; however, I’ve tended to change gauge for feel. In the 80’s and 90’s I dropped from 9s to 8s because I played songs with several 2 tone bends and was using a floating bridge (and changed strings at least weekly). Now I don’t...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 11.00 Public Beta

    2 cents worth... Ok I’m a keen amateur, not an expert, so sometimes the technicalities go over my head, but I love the technical content and explanations that come from fractal (and others) on this forum. Genuinely learning from it. Also, I think the commitment and pace of developments for...

    USB static while recording into iPad

    I’ve used the Axe III into both an iPad Air 2 via a camera connector and a newer Pro 11” using the USB C straight in. I used Audiobus 3 to set a low latency and it worked well. I have on a couple of rare occasions had crackle / static, but forcing the apps on the iPad closed (swiping up) and...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 5.00 Beta

    Ok, I usually don’t go for the beta versions (no particular reason, just usually wait for the full release and the thumbs up from the regulars), but on reading these comments (and watching Leon’s video of course) I had to give it a go. Well I’ve had great fun tonight with this update, going...

    New about Fractal - Simple question before I buy

    Agreed. Although, watch any of Leon’s Axe III videos and you’ll want to buy one. And if you’ve got one, it makes you want to use and experiment with it. His content is great! ‘More power to his elbow’ as the saying goes. Gordon.

    What are your favorite guitar tones ever?

    Here is some of my eclectic taste in guitar tones (and players). No particular order... and oh they are likely to change by the hour (too many to choose from). I’ve picked a mix of player styles deliberately for a variety of tones (some I haven’t listened to for a while so will need to dig...

    New about Fractal - Simple question before I buy

    With kids in the house I tend to use earphones / headphones a lot with the Axe fx III. Although it may not be the same as stripping the wallpaper off the walls through a power amp, the sound is still fantastic. If you don’t have stereo amps, then IEMs are a great way to enjoy the stereo...

    Axe-Fx # Acoustic Sim

    What a great tip! I finally got around to adding a new scene with the Guitarbody cab in parallel as you suggest. It sounds great! Thank you gents, much appreciated. Ps I do still really like the original too. Cheers.

    Axe-Fx # Acoustic Sim

    I just had a look in the 1000 pack and if you go to Austin’s files and choose the Bank 2 file and then preset 062 ‘make my electric into acoustic’. Hope this helps. Cheers. G.

    axe 3 fcb 1010

    I use the 1010 with Axe Fx III. No mods or anything just vanilla out of the box. I have set it up to do some basic stuff e.g. preset up and down and scene up and down on the bottom row of switches and the looper functions on the top row. There is probably a lot you could do with it, but I...

    Sykes

    Another great preset. Thanks Leon. If you add a pitch block its great for 'Is this Love' harmony part. This feels like sonic time travel. Thank you again.

    Axe-Fx # Acoustic Sim

    I agree, I really like the ‘make my electric into accoustic’ preset in the AUstin Buddy pack, especially scene 3 - chorus. You could check out his website in case there is a sample / video to listen to, so that you can hear if it’s the sort of thing you are looking for.

    I am addicted to cab Air

    Very new to this and haven't really experimented with this yet. Are there any good tutorial videos on these parameters that you could point me too please? Many thanks, G.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 1.15

    Thanks for the updated firmware, all good and no issues experienced by a novice user :) PS sorry if this doesn't seem like the most helpful post but I thought it worth sharing anyway, just in case there are other novice users like me out there who are waiting to see positive feedback before...

    [fixed] Crackles with 1.15 Beta Firmware

    This is maybe why I like it so much... I first tried it with basically the same guitar Suhr Select also with HSH and was instantly smiling. I find I have to dial the guitar tone way back on a lot of patches, but not with this. Thanks for sharing.

    Preset Inspired by George Lynch

    Leon - The patch, the cabs and the video make a fantastic package. I've learned more from this package than I think I would have by staring at any manual solidly for a week. Great content! Thank you for sharing all three.

    Preset Inspired by George Lynch

    Hi Mike - if the cabs are loaded as shown in the image above from 'veritechc' then another thing maybe worth trying is to adjust the low cut filter for the Cab block (its set to 120Hz in the preset). If you select the cab1 as in the image below in and then select the 'preamp' tab you will see...

    Suhr PT-100?

    Preset Inspired by George Lynch

    Hi Mike - I'm new to this stuff, but I managed to download the preset and the user cabs from the links in the original post. I then used Axe Edit to import the preset into a blank preset (424 for me) from my downloads folder and save it. I then selected the cab from grid view in Axe Edit and...

    Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy's 1400+ NAKED AMPS TonePack for firmware Cygnus X2

    OK, having way too much fun with this stuff... Thanks for the tips, I tried your preset suggestions and it has made me wish the waiting list for the foot switches would reach my name soon. I also worked out how to insert your JimiLondon user cab tonight, it was surprisingly easy to do...

    Axe-Edit III 0.08.21 Public Beta

    Just a bit of quick feedback from a new Axe Edit III user. The automatic update has worked perfectly for the last two updates (using the Windows version on Windows 10 build 17134.228). For info: I did have an issue with the USB connection dropping out occasionally two versions back, but...

    Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy's 1400+ NAKED AMPS TonePack for firmware Cygnus X2

    Austinbuddy - many thanks for the super quick response and the advice re cpu and cabs etc. There are so many great sounds in the pack. My favourites (for today) are the ‘Vai’ with the pitch block added and the ‘make my electric sound acoustic’ one. Both are fundamentally different types of...

    Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy's 1400+ NAKED AMPS TonePack for firmware Cygnus X2

    I am loving these sounds... I’ve started to play with a few of the effects... ok, I’ll confess... I had to drop a pitch block in to the Vai preset (you know the one) and then had a whole ‘for the love of god’ / ‘liberty’ moment going on. Great fun. Anyway hours later (and I mean hours later...

    Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy's 1400+ NAKED AMPS TonePack for firmware Cygnus X2

    My Axe fx III arrived on Wednesday. My first fractal product (wow). It felt like I blinked and hours had gone past just cycling through some truly impressive tones and effects. I then purchased your pack last night after reading some great reviews and only got a chance to play with some of...
