    AFX3 embedded tuner: Best Tuner I ever owned!!

    I would like to be able to hit the tuner button, then have the ABCDE buttons as selectable tunings/offsets. Those of us you use guitars with Buzz Feiten offsets and regular guitars without it have to go through the page menu and scroll down and then turn off/on the offset option. Seems doable...

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

    So impressed with this update. Lot's of amps I thought I would really like but didn't quite sound good enough now seem to me like their character is more revealed. Just that 1% or whatever changed has made the Bogner Fish Brown, 5150 50w Blue, Carol Ann Triptik Modern so much fun to play. Much...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 19.00 Beta 2

    I'm not sure about the tonal change to the low end-it sounds a little like the tone knob on the guitar got turned down, it's lost some of that grit that I like on Marshall type amps

    Wish Tuner offsets programable to ABCDE

    For those of us who use different guitars with different tuning offsets (buzz feiten, true temperament, ect) it would nice to have those available in the main tuner screen under the ABCDE push buttons, thanks.

    Who else is upgrading to Axe-FX III TURBO? :-)

    Getting one. Was going to wait for the 4 but the emergence of the full res IR's has me intrigued. Plus the extra horsepower gives me a little extra insurance for future epiphanies. Lastly, who knows if I'll be in a situation where I can't buy the 4?

    Wish Wampler Ratsbane Distortion Pedal (updated modern voiced rat)

    I use the mod rat alot on my axe 3 presets and recently bought Wamplers newly released take on the Rat pedal to go with the Bogner 3435/ Friedman JJ jr I also just bought. It has more variable gain structure but most importantly has a modern voice switch which sounds fantastic. " The Voice...

    Let’s see those Les Pauls!

    Better pic than I can take, besides the bling woods it's got a interesting 25.5-24.75 scale which I really like (dont play detuned stuff, tuned B-E). Didn't want a extended scale 7 so this hit the spot, got it on sale too. Thinking about another...

    Any bedroom only players using an Axe-Fx 3?

    Home user only, but I play 2hrs + daily so it's worth it to me. If I only played a couple hrs a week as you say you do I'd probably just use the Neural DSP Plini -sounds great ($125).

    Congrats to Ghost ! Grammy winner and Fractal users ...

    I ignored them for awhile because I thought they were like the other new metal bands with "cookie monster" vocals-not my thing. I'm 46 and can be accused of being stuck in the 80's/90's-but I like these guys. The melody and clear vocals distinguish them from most of today's metal bands. It's...

    Gibson Guitar is a Remarkably Unpopular Company

    Gibson recently threatened Tom Anderson with a lawsuit over their LP "inspired" bulldog-forcing them to discontinue that model as Tom doesn't have the resources to fight it like a PRS/ESP would. Not that I would buy their guitars anyway but that really is crappy.

    Suhr sold?

    Internal or External Wah?

    Steve, try the "slow position" in the wah controller menu. I was using the "fast position" and this definitely sounds more in your face and thick like the JCantrell wah (if the freq min is set low).

    Using monitors for AXE and music playback simultaneously

    Lets not get too elementary shall we? What I'm referring to is the preference someone may or may not have of listening to their instrument amplified through a dedicated monitor.
  52. D

    Using monitors for AXE and music playback simultaneously

    Not sure, just wondering if the axe having it's own dedicated speakers allows it to sound "better" because it's not competing for frequencies on a shared speaker(s), if that makes sense

    Axe-Fx II with Torpedo CAB?

    I'm not sure of the differences but it's easier for me to find a sound I like because of the interface. For those not familiar,you can manipulate the virtual mic like you can in Amplitube. Cabs I would have given up on in the stock IRs are usable in the Torpedo, it's a great product.

    Two monitors in stereo, worth it?

    monitor. I also have the A5xs and the stereo depth really adds to the experience. I've got the MFC also but would easily give that up if I had to choose.
  75. D

    KickTags V2 labels for the MFC ARE OUT NOW!! We're finally back and open :-)

    Great looking tabs- but the price plus a foreign transaction fee from my bank makes this much too expensive.

    Tuner - 7 string B

    For my 7-string TA with Buzz Feiten tuning- using offsets the low B doesn't register. Maybe because there's no offset included for the 7th string. Can that be fixed Cliff?
  79. D

    Tuner - 7 string B

    The 7th string B doesn't change on the tuner when I adjust it-it just sits at twelve o'clock regardless of what I do. The rest of the strings are no problem. (version 7)

    Caveat Emptor

    Just noticed the newest Axe 2 listing on e-bay is using the pic from the first listing......(different sellers) The only way I would pay that is if I thought my wait time would be over six months, but then I guess it's relative to your finanical situition.

    What ever happened with Tone Merchants?

    I'm in the "first run" also. This was to be 25, however Fractal only sent them 12. So now we're in limbo. I'm not sure but I thought I read somewhere on TM forum "in a few weeks" was the ETA.

    Question for you 2.1 studio monitor guys....

    Do you guys get a noticeable benefit with the subs ? I'm not talking people who tune down to Z flat with their 8-string, more like a range from clean to 80's rock to Mega/Metallica. I have Adam A3xs with a low freq of 60hz and was thinking of picking up the sub (31 hz) for $600. Just wondering...
