    Not a Bug 5.01 1959SLP Treble

    Can someone else see if the 1959SLP treble channel in there FM3 sounds horrible? Jumped sounds legit but treble has something wrong. Edit - must have been a glitch, sounds fine now.

    Your Favorite Third Party IR Bundles

    If you're using Marshall style amps, it's pretty tough to beat the Ownhammer 412 MRBW GNR M25 MMMC bundle. After trying IR's from nearly everyone (and lots of them), this one just sound right. The GNR Chunk is just killer!!

    Selling HX Stomp to save and purchase an FM3. is it worth it?

    I enjoy my Stomp through an SD Powerstage 170 and real cab, but I seem to be an anomaly as I can’t stand IR’s and FRFR. The Friedman cranked gives me all the sound and feel I can handle in spades. I do like all the amps the FM3 has though, that’s pretty cool.

    Neal Schon noodling on a Tom Anderson though an FM3

    I agree. That’s only the second video I’ve seen of him but both were mindless shredding. Good player for sure, but also not interesting in the least.

    DIY Fret Leveling & crowning

    I've always used a Stumac 24" leveling beam and 400 grit sticky back sandpaper. After I'm done a leveling the frets are perfect across the entire neck. The back and forth action during the sanding/leveling process with take care of any microns of difference in uniformity of the sandpaper.

    I've always been a v30 guy. Let's talk about Greenbacks.

    I found there are 2 camps when it comes to "FRFR" speakers. Those who like the hifi sound, ala CLR, and those who like more traditional sound, ala ASC. It comes down to different strokes, that's all, one IS NOT better than the other. I personally hated the CLR, it was too "clean" sounding, gave...

    DIY Fret Leveling & crowning

    Its super easy. Crowning file and a leveling beam with the sticky back sanding paper is all I use.

    What's your next rig upgrade going to be?

    I think you'll like it. The Xitone was a close second for me behind the ASC-10. I think what actually made it fall behind was that it was a wedge, just not my personal ideal form factor for playing guitar. Its a very good speaker, and available!
  17. F

    What's your next rig upgrade going to be?

    That is really surprising. I went the opposite way. Played the CLR, Xitone, Matrix, Powercab+, etc. everything paled in comparison to the ASC-10, that was my end game. That thing is a beast and sounded killer. Good luck with the Xitone.

    Very bad news

    I disagree. Walking into any guitar store shows you what's selling, amps outweight modelers by 50:1. You're partly correct though, space is an issue or concern for some or many, thus the smaller amp market is heating up. Marshall, PRS, Bogner, EVH, Mesa, Orange etc. etc. are all killing it with...

    Atomic CLR Neo MK2 vs Friedman ASM-10?

    That would be ideal if a guy could make his presets based on the FOH PA. You could have 20 brands of speaker at home, ask the venue what they use, and tweak your presets using the same monitor! Perfect every time. :astonished:

    I guess we are in complete disagreement then. AJFA was some of Kirks best lead work IMO.

Go back and listen to Frayed...

    Friedman FRFR cab

    As of May 2019, what are the current fave Axe-Fx III FRFR cabs?

    The 112 Matrix would be loud enough, I had the 110 and had no problem at jams. I would however, recommend the Friedman ASC-10 over the Matrix, it just sounds better, hits harder, and feels more like a traditional cob.

    New Cab Pack! FAR FIELD Session 1

    I think it was more about ML challenging Jay in his field, probably not a good idea since the guy almost wrote the book on this stuff. ML is good at what he does but could probably learn a thing or two from Jay if he was a bit more humble about it. That was my take anyway.

    Cab Pack 14??

    No, my 2i2 into Reaper works like a charm. I bought the stand alone Cab Lab and I get latency, good call on the looper though. Maybe I should have bought the VST version, not sure.
  45. F

    Cab Pack 14??

    Ah, OK. I was hoping they had some alternate mixes I could try rather than mixing my own. I bought cab lab stand alone but I'm having some latency issues that is making it a nightmare to use right now. Not sure if it's my laptop or my interface. Thanks for the reply.
  46. F

    Cab Pack 14??

    How many mixes of each cab? For instance, there’s one TV mix, one AX mix, one Greeenback mix, one Citrus mix, etc, as stock cabs in the AX8. I like the ones they chose but if there are a few more mixes of each cab I’d definitely like to buy it and try it.

    Atomic CLR Neo MK2 vs Friedman ASM-10?

    Atomic CLR Neo MK2 vs Friedman ASM-10?

    Do you find it too dark at gig volume? I think that's where it shines. I don't like bright though so maybe that's why I prefer the ASC-10 and it's "guitar cab" orientation.

    Ares 1 for AX8?

    I never said it sounded bad and I never said I bought it for updates. I’m saying it’s become the norm, so when it doesn’t happen, people ask questions. Personally I don’t care, I was just giving my opinion.
  67. F

    Ares 1 for AX8?

    That’s all fine but the standard has been set for constant updates. Now you’re telling people to just be happy with it the way it is? That’s a tough pill to swallow since it’s still a current product. Just my 2 cents.

    Atomic CLR Neo MK2 vs Friedman ASM-10?

    Ya, had they not come out with the 35lb ASC-10 I’d have looked elsewhere. I had the 52lb ASM-12 and it was a beast to try and cart around, that’s why I sold it. Glad Dave made these 10’s though, that guy knows tone!

    Atomic CLR Neo MK2 vs Friedman ASM-10?

    Don’t always buy into the hype. CLR is good but not the be all end all. If you’re looking for a hi-fi sound, try the CLR, but honestly that’s what drove me away from it. Can’t hold a candle to the Friedman for a cab like sound and feel.

    Atomic CLR Neo MK2 vs Friedman ASM-10?

    If you don’t like it you can always return it and try the Friedman. I sold my CLR after getting the ASC-10. The Atomic sounded boxy and shrill, but that was just my take. The Friedman sounds like a 212 loaded with my favourite speakers!

    Friedman Launches ASC-12 500-Watt Powered Monitor

    Anybody here tried the new Friedman ASC-10?

    Did you use the same IR? That would probably cause them to all sound similar no matter what speaker was used. Moving from a G12H, to a G12M, to a V30 is sonically unmistakeable in the ASM-10.
