GotchaI'm with you. Wasn't implying you didn't. You noted it - I just tagged on to the last post, which was yours so it could be followed.
Gotcha
I am planning on it.Does anyone plan on using these kinds of filter settings for the front of house, or only for your own FR cabs?
Obviously the sound is taken directly from axe. No mic. No real room reverb. Single block? Use Cab Block!Roby, this sounded really good...and close !!! I guess this is so there is no mic capture, reverb from room ? A direct AMP ?
Can FAS make a Block that accomplishes this in one swoop ?
With the wide variety of ir's out there, some of which are completely unusable imho, I bet I could play you ten different ir's with one being a simple eq with tweaks, and you wouldn't be able to tell me which one it is.If one can't hear the difference between Filter+EQ and an IR, one shouldn't have gotten an Axe-Fx in the first place.
I think it will come down to the FR speakers you're using. The ones I'm using have a spike in the 10kHz range, so my settings, personal preference or not, will be different than yours, and Cliff's original settings.Cliff,
After two years and multiple major updates, would you have any suggestions/changes to your original post?
Yes. I do not disagree with anything you said, but I was wondering what Cliff's thoughts are 2 years later.I think it will come down to the FR speakers you're using. The ones I'm using have a spike in the 10kHz range, so my settings, personal preference or not, will be different than yours, and Cliff's original settings.
To experiment further, I am going to leave the Amp block EQ at stock settings and set the Filter block LPF to taste. Afterward, I should be able to tweak either of those blocks to fine tune the tone.
I know it's an old post, but it is still actual. I own a real Savage 60 amp and an engl4x12 cab with V30. I also have the FM3 and Matrix gt1000. But the FM3 never sounded like the real deal. I tried impedance curves, different settings, even the trick with the matrix on 2 o'clocl and nothing helped. But the GEQ from these settings brought the FM3 to the point, where it sounds damn close! I just fine tuned the EQ and set it as global on OUT2. With this, I can dial in any amp and it will sound great and realistic. I think, that people are expecting a modeller to sound soft and nice with rounded top end. So the FM3 delivers it. But that's not how a valve amp sounds like and then they complain .... It doesn't cut in the mix, it doesn't sound like an amp in the room etc. Thx for this post!Try this:
Make a patch with no cab block.
After the amp put a Filter block. Reset to make sure all parameters are at default values.
Set the type to Lowpass.
Set the Order to 4th.
Set the Freq to ~5000.
Set the High Cut Freq to ~5000.
Adjust the Freq and High Cut Freq to taste. For more aggressive tones increase both to 6000 or so. For warmer tones decrease both to 4000 or so.
Now, to add some "character" put a Graphic EQ or Parametric EQ block after (or before) the Filter block. Boost 125 Hz a little. Play around with some of the midrange and upper midrange bands to change the character of the tone. This is what I used:
31: 0.0
63 Hz: 0.6
125 Hz: 4.57
250 Hz: 0.25
500: 0.0
1K: -5.0
2K: -2.27
4K: 1.95
8K: -1.0
16K: -5.77
The reasoning behind this is that there is no such thing as a "flat" speaker. All speakers, even really expensive monitors have peaks and dips in the response. That's why they all sound different. The primary thing a guitar speaker does is roll off the highs aggressively at somewhere between 4K and 6K Hz. The Filter block replicates the rolloff but lets the natural response of the speaker come through.
@FractalAudio I have been meaning to try this out for years, man I think I have a new favourite sound with the USA IIC++ I was struggling to dial in with cabs. In fact it was quite easy to dial in this way and it probably sounds better to me than everything other high gain sound I've created before... and with no drive pedal in front of it!
