    Trainwreck Express Volume Potentiometer Taper

    It's an alpha pot and it's labeled as A1M, which I assume stands for audio taper and 1 Megaohm. The thing with Trainwreck potentiometers is that they probably varied from era to era and model to model, at least that's what Glen Kuykendall says who owns a couple of original Trainwreck amps.

    Trainwreck Express Volume Potentiometer Taper

    Cliff, can you please tell me what volume potentiometer taper the real Trainwreck Express has that you've modeled in the Axe FX? I've built a Ceriatone clone of that amp recently and noticed that the volume control on the clone is much more aggressive than it is in the Axe FX model. Even when I...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 17.00 Public Beta 3

    As an MK I user, I'm happy that we still get to utilize FullRes IRs, even if they can only be temporarily assigned to scratchpad slots. I'm also happy for all the MK II owners that get to enjoy a full IR bank of FullRes IRs. Now my only hope is that it won't take the IR producers too long to...

    Would be cool to get a model of the rockman x100

    Just saw this post... damn, your rockman tones are amazing! Can't wait to try out this patch. Will it be relased along the official FW 17 release?

    Poll: MK1 owners, 1024 User 2 cab slots or 32 FullRes cab slots?

    I am well aware that FAS is a company and as such needs to turn a profit in order to exist. My point wasn't that FAS is not a company. My point was that FAS is a unique and spectacular company. I truly believe that Cliff's primary motive isn't financial gain but the betterment and ultimate...

    Poll: MK1 owners, 1024 User 2 cab slots or 32 FullRes cab slots?

Back in the early 2000's, Cliff left his lucrative sonar engineering job to create a revolutionary guitar amp and effects modeling system that ran the most sophisticated code on the best possible hardware. That product, now known as the Axe Fx Standard, has...

    Poll: MK1 owners, 1024 User 2 cab slots or 32 FullRes cab slots?

    I'm all for using the second User IR bank for FullRes IRs, it's especially nice for us headphone users that need some of those room reflections to sweeten the dry tone. It still amazes me that Cliff is even willing to listen to our opinions in that regard. Unparalleled customer relationship...

    Will these FullRes IRs be available for download so that we can at least use them in an updated cablab version?

    Will you provide these longer IRs so that we can load them up inside the CabLab application or will you constrain them to the hardware units? As an Axe FX III MK I owner, I'd happily part with a big chunk of the extra IR slots just to make room for at least 4 or 5 of these longer IRs.

    Does the FM9 devalue the FM3 on the used market?

    Maybe Cliff could come up with an Axe FM9 unit that costs only half as much but, in return, you have to watch advertisements every other minute, with an eye sensor that tracks if you really watch, and fill out lengthy questionnaires about your spending habits on a bi-weekly basis? I'm so ready...
