    Electromagnetic noise/ interference

    Lot's of PCs throw off quite a bit of EMI, and single coils soak them up like a sponge. My Dell XPS has a metal chassis, but a crappy plastic front cover. My solution was to show it some copper shielding tape love on its face (with a copper skunk stripe run to the unpainted chassis in the back...

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

    I'm starting to think that the delay in introducing the next rev Axe Edit is really just a shrewd psychological/sociological experiment . . .

    Great video for clean tones

    Very nice clean sound. Should be noted that increasing (+) the value of the input dynamics setting increases dynamics and decreases the input compression. If one is seeking greater input compression, the value should be negative.

    No soup/[gate] for you . . . :)

    Rectifier ✅ , now let’s talk about the noise gate

    I know that the request is to incorporate a more effective gate into the box, but you can use the ISP quite effectively with the Axe. I'm not typically a real high gain player, but I've tested it - and it appears to be more effective than the existing Axe gate options. Just set up an Out on...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 19.00 Beta 2

    Only played around with the Bassman thus far, but there appears to be improved tone and feel out of this release. My strings are begging to be pinched. The harmonics.

    Analog Drive Pedals in front of Axe III to get better FEEL, who else is doing this?

    Agreed. I raised similar points in a thread a while back: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/anyone-upgrade-to-an-external-delay-pedal.164304/post-1969996 And my drive pedals still live in front of my Axe. I suspect that the difference is felt most keenly if playing "good" drive pedals...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 15.00

    It didn't. And the issue doesn't appear to be exclusive the bypassing Delay. I noted this only because that is what triggered the issue for me most recently.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 15.00

    Further to my prior message, I am unable to post the patch at present. But, was using the v. 15 (non-Beta) release last night and experienced the issue once again. Weirdly, the internal levels changed when I bypassed the Delay block in the patch - resulting in both a less driven signal (Jumped...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 15.00

    I experienced the same issue, as noted in the Beta 15 thread. Intermittent level issues, resulting in digital clipping.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 15.00 Public Beta #1

    Something weird happening with the levels on this Beta. Using different patches with both the legacy '59 Bassman and the new, jumped '59 Bassman, I have experienced significant level jumps resulting in digital distortion at at least Output 1. The Output 1 level meters will go well into the...

    (Not a bug) Preset Vanished?

    For the Axe Edit scanning issue, in AxeEdit, go to SETTINGS-PREFERENCES-OPTIONS and make sure the last two items (i.e., the ones starting with "Read the . . .") are unchecked. Not sure if this has anything to do with your "vanishing" preset, but it should eliminate unnecessary start-up scans of...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 14.00

    The Plexis can be a bit bright. depending on cab choice. The stock presence setting plus bright switch setting (with stock cap setting) tends towards shrill. I'd suggest turning off the Bright switch for starters. Too dark? Push up the presence setting (with bright off) to see if you are...

    Anyone "upgrade" to an external delay pedal?

    True, although you neglected to mention your own excellent delay related tutorials.

    Anyone "upgrade" to an external delay pedal?

    The truth is, I haven't used the Axe version very much. Generally speaking, for the Axe equivalents of the pedals that I mentioned in my post, my initial reaction is that the Axe versions tend to sound darker and more compressed (not in a sustainy sort of way). The former can be dialed out...

    Anyone "upgrade" to an external delay pedal?

    Just one guy's opinion, but a delay pedal is probably one of the last things that I'd supplement the Axe with. I have Strymon Timeline and Big Sky pedals that, for kicks, ran through Out/In 3 for a brief period of time after buying the Axe, but "retired" them shortly thereafter. To me, the Axe...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 12.09

    Appreciate the acknowledgement of this issue here, Austin. I fully agree that FW release threads should not be hijacked by 3d party vendor discussions (and even more so Dave Chappelle sketch characters). However, I think this issue is perhaps a little different. For background, I note that it...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 12.08

    Brian, you may be referring to several of my posts in a couple of different threads. I'll clarify my history here, to the extent that it's helpful. I had previously moved to Beta 3 and, while using a scene that included amp and cab blocks inherited from an AB preset, the signal would cut out...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 12.08 Public Beta 4

    Basically the same thing that I experienced (described earlier in this chain). Suggest that you post the preset that you were using at the time so that those knowledgeable can conduct their Fractalytics.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 12.08 Public Beta 4

    t I haven't received any further information about the issue, but it sure seems like a beta 4 bug. Based upon your chain description, the commonality in our respective scenes is amp>cab>comp. Unlike you, however, I wasn't tracking at the time, although I was using the looper block at the time...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 12.08 Public Beta 4

    I had a weird, first-time experience after downloading beta 4 yesterday. Added a new compressor block (studio FB1) to an existing preset and was using the looper block (with Axe Edit running). I had the looper paused and was playing, and, out of the blue, the Axe just starting producing a low...

    Weird Issue With Sound Cutting Out

    Try replacing the amp block with a new amp block (keeping track of your current settings before you do). I created a new preset with a current JTM45 block and (so far) haven't had any additional drop issues.

    Weird Issue With Sound Cutting Out

    I'm hoping that, if it is a beta FW issue, it will be resolved in the next non-beta release. Otherwise, I'm going to be using new amp blocks in all of my presets on a go-forward basis.

    Weird Issue With Sound Cutting Out

    My issue began, as far as I could tell, with the 12.08 beta FW. Like you, I reverted to 12.07 and haven't run into additional issues since. However, given that I'd saved the offending present in 12.08 beta, it isn't visible on the revert to 12.07 - so I don't have the option of using it. Out...

    Weird Issue With Sound Cutting Out

    I had a similar drop out issue with a preset that included only an amp block and cab block that originated from an Austin Buddy preset. Different amp block (JTM 45), and I didn't note the LED weirdness - but audio drops were prevalent. Will drive one a bit crazy trying to figure out what's...

    Headphones ohms

    Probably too late at this point, Travis, but I don't recommend the Sony MDR 7506s for use with the Axe. I have a pair that I use for mixing, in conjunction with a Morphit headphone frequency correction plugin in my DAW. But, the Sony's have boosts in high frequency ranges (around 3.5 KHz and...

    Noise with pedals through Out 3 - In 3

    I was going to suggest ensuring that the output 3 level is set all the way up on the face of the Axe, and the input 3 (i.e., return) level is set to unity (i.e., the gain is on the front, as opposed to the back, end).

    New mega zip file of ambient Presets and Blocks to download

    I was in B Channel on the Delay block, and it happened every time. Switched to A Channel and the blocks appear to pull in correctly. Weird.

    New mega zip file of ambient Presets and Blocks to download

    I have installed the blocks in the block folder, and I can see the see the names in the block library in Axe Edit, but no matter which of the blocks I select (for Delay, for example), I always get the same result - Digital Mono delay with 500 ms delay. If I switch to another delay type and...

    Wah/Volume Control Question

    Tried that, but didn't have an impact on the engagement of the wah. When the control switch is switched to the wah, the wah is "always on" regardless of the auto engage settings.

    Wah/Volume Control Question

    Have a Mission SP-1 pedal. With some noodling, I have managed to get it set up to switch between way and vol blocks in a scene - and both the wah and vol blocks function properly when switched respectively. My question is: Is there a way, when the pedal is switched to the wah block, to turn...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 10.00

    I have a Blues OD in a scene that I swapped the stock silicon 1N4148 diodes with the new germanium comrade D9Es and I just couldn't seem to get enough level after the swap. I turned the drive and level all the way up, and it still wasn't driving like it would with the original silicon diodes...

    SPDIF + Reaper setup help

    BobbyJones, connect the Axe to your computer via USB and select the Axe as your audio interface in Reaper. Keep everything else as you already have it. If you want to mic something through the Saffire, you would change the interface to the Saffire in Reaper. But, for guitar, use the Axe as...

    SPDIF + Reaper setup help

    Good point Zedhed. If it's recording correctly, I would think the clocks are set correctly, but who knows. Regardless, I think it's preferable to use the Axe as the interface for guitar, if for no other reason that you can track the direct signal independently.
  41. G

    SPDIF + Reaper setup help

    My suggestion is to connect both the Saffire and the Axe (via USB) to your computer (leaving the SPDIF connection intact). Then select the Axe as the audio interface in Reaper. The rest is set out in the Axe manual.

    Cab-Lab & Stock Cabs

    Thanks Piing. I agree that mixing with the CAB block is easier, but if you want to include L & R room IRs, you're down to just two cab IRs in the mix. While I don't know what your experience with Live Mode is, what I found when using it with 3d party IRs is that it sounded nothing like having...

    Cab-Lab & Stock Cabs

    New AxeFX3 owner here and first post to this forum. I purchased Cablab yesterday, and I'm not sure that it is able to do the one thing that I was hoping that it could: mix stock IRs with my existing 3d party IRs. I have used mixIR for years, as I've always mixed cabs. But, it doesn't...
