    Virtual capo warble

    Same here, I am trying to use it for a two semitone drop and as long as I don't use bends or vibrato it's ok, but as soon as I do a bend, I get a kind of stepping/warble sound which seems to be worse the higher the pitch. I think the drop was better personally.

    Real Amp into SRL with Axe3 Amp in stereo

    I'm not as worried about the phase (i can mess with that) as much as the panning, I just can't figure out why i can't pan the loaded down amp into the axe left and the modelled amp right

    Real Amp into SRL with Axe3 Amp in stereo

    Hi All, Last night i was trying to setup a stereo patch within the axe3 with my real amp into my Suhr Reactive Load on the left and an Axe3 amp model on the right. I use the 4cm with the amp also. I want to use the axe3 cab models with the amp model, and the option to use either an axe3 cab...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 16.01 "Cygnus"

    Great job with this firmware. I started on the axefx ultra, then the Axe2, I moved to kemper (which I still use) for a long time because I found myself endlessly tweaking the Axe2, going into the deep editing parameters, PEQ this and that. I got an axe3 when the first cygnus beta's were out and...

    Axe-Fx III 16.00 Beta 11 "Cygnus" Firmware - Public Beta #8

    I Haven't tried the new HBE model on cygnus but when I had the be50dlx I thought the HBE channel was really disappointing compared to the BE. It lacked definition and clarity, I would boost the BE channel for leads, sounded way better imo. Now the smallbox in cygnus is dead on to the real deal.

    Yeah, I use an interface with my kemper and loadboxes, I don't have the AXE3 yet as it's a real challenge getting one in Australia.
  12. rickgk

    Using Axe-Fx III and Sonarworks Reference 4

    I don't use USB so not sure how you would go about that. i just open the plugin on the master in studio one and dial in my presets, the latency is not bad enough to mess with my playing so it's fine.
  13. rickgk

    Using Axe-Fx III and Sonarworks Reference 4

    Yeah I wish reference 4 systemwide would work on input signal. My way around this is to open my DAW and use the Reference 4 plugin, it adds a little latency but it's bareable.

    Axe-Fx III in 4CM (4 Cable Method) from FX8

    The only downside I see is that the axefx3 doesn't have the relay switching of the fx8 for switching amp channels which is a real shame. Thats no issue if you have a midi switching amp, or you can buy a suhr micro midi but that's another thing to power in the rack.

    Axe-Fx III in 4CM (4 Cable Method) from FX8

    The Axe3, and I believe also the FM3, are the only products on the market that match the FX8 as far as purity of signal (no tone suck)

    I just purchased a Kemper and am waiting for it to arrive, I still love my axefx and ax8 but I'm looking forward to using the Kemper as well. The attraction for me is the profiles made by professionals with better ears and more knowledge than me profiling the amps at various sweet spots.

    Ax8 with4cm -Freidman Runt XLR out

    JVM vs JS410 Surprise

    These venues I am playing are really small, the stage is virtually just a drum riser so the rest of us are on the floor in front of the stage, the crowd is literally face to face with us and the dispersion range on the CLR is quite wide so this is not really a factor. if we were playing bigger...

    Any tips for cutting through live with FRFR

    Well I don't run the axefx through FOH so I guess if I and the other band members struggle to hear then so would the crowd, bare in mind also the stage we are playing on is so small we are all cramped close together, so it may be that the sound disperses better off stage.
  85. rickgk

    Any tips for cutting through live with FRFR

    Well I think we have very different sounds but not really by design, mine has alot less lows and low mids, which is ok seeing as I am the lead guitarist I guess but mine is just less ballsy less cutting and less thick.
