    FS (USA Only) Axe-FX III Mk 1

    I think I'm going to let my Mk1 Axe-FX III go. I'm not really using it- mostly I just use an Ultra for delay and reverb with my tube amp. The Axe-FX III sounds incredible and I have no complaints at all with it. I just mostly enjoy a simple single channel amp. In good shape- it probably...

    Are any of the Cameron models of Mark Cameron built amps?

    Can't remember seeing this and I haven't been able to find the answer when searching... Are any of the Cameron models in the Fractal based on amps that Mark Cameron built, as opposed to the Brad King production series? As the story goes, Mark was associated with the production amps but the...

    Wish Saturation Switch Capacitor Size Adjustment

    A typical saturation switch that we see on a lot of amps has a moderate sized capacitor coming off the cathode of the cathode follower for the tone stack, followed by a resistor (or these may be reversed) and finally the clipping elements- diodes, transistors wired as diodes, etc... connected...

    Axe3 is a swiss army knife for tube amps, made even better with Xload!

    Wasn't sure where to put this- I know that most people here primarily use the Axe3 instead of a tube amp, but at least a few people like me also enjoy using a tube amp at least some of the time. There is a tactile experience with the real knobs and switches that I enjoy when its feasible...

    FullRes: enjoying impulses from classic hardware effects

    Using an Ultra/Standard in 2022

    Happy 2022- another year to enjoy the still-amazing first generation of Fractal technology. I have been enjoying the 2290 delay patch the last few days, after having used the 2290 style delay in the FM3 a LOT lately. There is something magic about the phase reversed repeats. I was also...

    [fixed] Amp block input trim modifier malfunction

    Easy to clip Out2?

    I continue to be impressed with all the "awesome" that Fractal managed to pack into the FM3 at such a reasonable price. As I use it, I find limitations and then I find workarounds. There are surprisingly few limitations. I notice on the FM3 that when I set Out2 for unity gain (for 4CM...
