    BRIT FLOYD Gilmour Axe-Fx III Tone Tour with Edo Scordo

    Cool. Seeing them in Austin next Wednesday.

    Axe-Fx Firmware Version 21.00

    Definitely some improvements "under the hood" with Cygnus 2. Just for the hell of it, I fired up my Axe III with the new firmware and compared it with my FM9 on 3.0 with a factory patch after changing all the amp settings on the FM9 to the same as the III. Used the Fox ODS preset because as I...

    Saving complete AxeFX II presets for use with FM9

    One of the problems I think you will run into with Fractool, especially going from Axe II blocks/presets to the new generation, is that some of the parameter names have changed and it is hard to figure out what new parameters equate to the old ones. This has presented a problem to me even with...

    Fm-9 with a built in Wah/Vol Pedal? any thoughts?

    Or, you could trade for one of these. Although you might have a slight difference in modelling quality as a trade off.

    Announcing FM9 Turbo

    That 10% would add the multidelay or cab preamp in hi quality mode that I seem to always not have CPU room for in the current FM9 with a "kitchen sink" preset. I'd trade up to the Turbo in a heartbeat except for the fact that I'd be waitlisted forever at this point.

    FM9 Factory Presets 3.0 - Full Preview!

    Just curious—going forward do you plan to tune the factory presets to the DSP ability of the Turbo version, or keep in mind that a select few of us fortunate enough to already own an original unit will be flying at less than 90% of the processing power now available?

    FM9 Firmware Version 3.00 public beta 1

    My guess is we won’t get the official 3.0 release until they are ready to begin shipping units again. It’s called marketing.

    POLL: What should the next NEW AustinBuddy TonePack be, before 2023 hits?

    My opinion is there are already an abundance of really good single coil and clean sounds in both Live Gold and Naked Amps to choose from that have been dialed in well. I see no real reason for a new packaging of things he's already done. That's why my vote is for either of the effect pack...

    Speaker Drive and Thump appreciation thread!

    I find I like speaker drive on Marshall/Friedman types closer to 3 (actually 3.2). Fender/Vox types are fine around the default of 2. Speaker compression just enough to show a slight movement down on the graph in Axe-Edit but not much more. I have yet to form much of an opinion on the...

    The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars was released 50 years ago today. I was a boy of not quite 14 years. I don’t think any other record influenced my listening choices in subsequent years more than that one. Man I’m getting old. Time takes a cigarette……

    What’s the number one most impactful control in the Fractal family?

    I think your input trim setting really depends on your guitar, so scenes with different settings really wouldn't help much in the overall scheme of things. For me, your ears are all that can tell you where the input trim should be with a given guitar/amp combination.

    There’s only one weight shown for all the speaker sizes as far as I saw. Makes me wonder how accurate it is. Maybe just the weight of the cab sans speakers????

    My vote goes to Hitch A Ride. Always had a sweet spot for “Man I’ll Never Be” off the second record too. Speaking of retail records, the standing joke in the early 80’s when I was still working that gig and a third Boston record never appeared was this: Record employee: “Heard about...

    Has it really come that far?

    Here's one factor I would consider. When you say you have your sounds "dialed in", how many sounds/presets are we talking about? A couple dozen? A whole bank? Multiple banks? If it's less than 30 or 40, I would say it's a no brainer to dive into the new technology. If it's more than that and...

    RTA always on

    It would be wonderful to have an RTA in Axe-Edit like the amp leveler on a page of its own not tied to a preset. I’m sure it’s been wish listed before. I’m just having too much fun with the new presets to look and see right now! 😊

    Bug? Bias Excursion Time Doubles on FM9 vs AXE-III

    Bug? Bias Excursion Time Doubles on FM9 vs AXE-III

    The FM9 hasn't gotten the added tube types yet, but I don't think that is the issue because I just looked at the AC-20 on both units which have the same tube type and still have the doubling issue. And yes, pedalbuilder I did run into those 20 second reverbs a couple of days ago on the FM9!

    Larry Carlton Farewell Tour : Pat Metheny SideEye..my return to Live Shows!

    Yeah, the only thing that disappointed me about this last show was that he had been advertising the show as heavy on Steely Dan, Crusaders tunes, and songs from that first solo record but he played nothing from the latter. That album is a monster. Until he opens his mouth to sing, of course. 😜
