    Just blew a transformer

    Another reason to like the Axe Fx. While cranked and shaking in glorious overdrive, my combo amp's power tube (6v6 EH GT) heater shorted to the plate today, taking out the transformer with it. Sudden silence and a nice burnt smell. On to cranking the Axe-Fx, it neither shakes nor stresses...

    Dialing in the 1959SLP for a Les Paul, easy.

    I was inspired to check out the 1959SLP model after dusting off some Thin Lizzy tunes. Now it is one of my favorite amp models in the Axe-Fx III. I'm hesitant to post a patch because you really have to dial it in by ear and no LP sounds the same, so rather want to simply share some tips on...

    My ADA MP-1 with MW settings modeled

    Uploaded to Axe-change: http://axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?preset=6037 This was inspired by Leon's preset where he modeled his ADA-MP1. by ear, for the Ax8 last year. I wanted to model my own ADA v2.01 (currently has Mesa SPAX7 tubes loaded) with the Michael Wagener settings used...

    jcm 800 preset

    Anyone here use the stock jcm 800 preset just the way it is? It is kind of nice - just plug in and go for me.

    Ultra a keeper

    Ultra sounds pretty darn good with fw 11. Just try the jcm 800 now. I'll have to hear how Axe-2 sounds, but I'm pretty happy with my Ultra right now.

    jcm 800 - stock settings for live work

    I had the pleasure of playing with Sonny Lallerstedt tonight. What a wonderful person and musician. I had not played with him before so I went to basics with the Axe as I usually do when playing with folks for the first time. To keep things simple, I started with my jcm 800 patch. Amp sim...

    firmware 13.0 suggestion

    After version 12, suggest skipping 13 and going straight to 14.0. This would be 1 better than 13, and we can avoid getting jinxed.

    well done Cliff on the new presence modeling

    This is a great step in the right direction.

    Screen voltage advance parameter

    Feature request is for variable control of the Axe's simulated tube input response. The variable (maybe a resistor value) would control the voltage drop characteristics as the tube is hit with a new note, allowing the note to pop out more at first. The idea would be to allow the user more...

    9.0 triaxis

    9.0 breathes new life into USA lead 2. Just Amp1 and Cab1 (mesa4x12) sound super. No FX or extras needed. The Axe now has balls like my Triaxis. I'm seeing a lot of people tweaking down warmth and thump. I agree. 0 warmth and about 0.90 thump. Set bias to 2.9 or so. Keep xfmr match...

    tip - One pedal with alternate wah and volume control

    Say you want your patches to have volume pedal for swell effect, but also want to be able to turn wah off and on in same patch with them interfering with eachother. Benefits: (1) you don't have to carry another pedal just for wah; (2) don't need as many redundant presets. Here's how to have...

    eprom recommendation

    Recommend allowing axe owners ability to purchase a spare eprom for backup purposes. Fractal tech support was super and fast with a new free eprom when my eprom died during firmware update, but if there was reasonably priced spare eprom available, I'd buy one to keep as backup. Other ideas...

    excellent customer service on eprom issue

    After a years worth of successful (no issue) updates, I went from 7.xx to 8.02 and fried my eprom apparently when I cycled the power too soon. It wouldn't boot and many leds were lit. Not knowing what happened, I emailed FAS and got a response within the hour. They sent me a new eprom next...
