Axe-Fx Firmware Version 21.02 Public Beta (Beta 2)

If so then my mistake. Still understood it to mean the Shredmaster but I don’t ever use input boost so never looked into that side to be sure

Yes, wiki and Yek’s guide both confirm. I know this because I made the same mistake previously.

You are looking the wrong part of the wiki. My pic is from the wiki too but the input boost section of the amp block, not the drive block. 👍🏻
So the “shred” we have before this update, in the amp block section, was already based on the shred mode of the JP2c. That’s why I don’t get the “new one”

Shred boost was added to wiki in April 2021:

It might be a typo -- need to compare to release notes of firmware released around then.

I will try it as soon as I can .

I m super happy to read the notes 😭 .

@FractalAudio thank you very very very much to have considered the gate. I love your product, you are the best !

I will try all of that in a few hours ♥️

Love the two new drive pedals - OD1 into a Marshall is instant early Maiden, and the Buxom is my new favourite MIAB

Thanks

And probably Priest on British Steel
Def Leppard. Etc etc many of the NWOFBHM

From watching leon todd's video it looks like you can put the jp-2c shred switch on different amps. Start watching the video at 15:00. he puts the switch on a recto.
 
I wonder why the "old" Shred Boost has so much more Gain (15-20dB) than al the other boost types in the Amp Block including the "new" JP IIC+.Shred. I tested with Boost Level to 0dB.
 
the input gate is way better than before !!

the easy mode work like an isp decimator : you set the threshold and you play !

buuut

the modern expander in the gate block is even less noisier , best of the 4 !

I have also tried the 2 shred we have now, as they sound completely different it's ok . (the previous shred is way more gainy)

well, can't wait to have an updated axe edit, cause i need to redo all my noise gate and all my comp block now :)

I've been boring with this gate, but I think that this improvment is a real game changer for every high gain player.

Congrats man you got your gate improvement so happy it works the way you hoped and kudos to Cliff
for the new algos

Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Notes​


21.02

Added "59 Bassguy RI Jumped" amp model based on a ’59 Bassman LTD Reissue.

Added “JP IIC+ Shred” Input Boost type to Amp block. This replicates the “Shred” switch on the Mesa/Boogie JP2C.

Added “Bosom Boost” Drive model based on a Friedman Buxom Boost.

Added “OD-One Overdrive” Drive model based on a Boss OD-1.

Improved Compressor block:
  • Improved Studio FF Compressor 1 type. New algorithm yields smoother release and “fatter” compression. This type is suitable for a wide range of uses now including bus and mastering. Type has been renamed Studio FF Compressor.
  • Improved Optical Compressor types. New algorithm features improved ballistics and inherent soft knee for vintage optical compression sounds.
  • Improved Dynamics Processor type. New algorithm also supports various detector types.
  • Improved JFET Compressor type.
  • Added Optical Sustainer type based on optocoupler-based pedal compressors.
  • Added Analog Sustainer type. This is an upwards compressor using the same “analog” gain computer as the Analog Compressor type yielding a natural soft-knee response.
  • Added JFET Sustainer type. This is based on a rare JFET-based pedal compressor where the JFET is in the op-amp’s feedback network.
  • The range of the Release Time has been increased to 2ms to 2s.
  • Added graph for Analog Compressor and Sustainer types.
  • New Auto-Makeup Gain algorithms for most types provides better output level tracking vs. Threshold and Ratio. Note: As a result, the output level of the compressor block may be slightly different compared to previous firmware. Auditioning presets that use the Compressor block is recommended.
  • Selectable Auto-Makeup Gain has been added to Optical, Tube and Analog Compressor types.
  • Studio FF Compressor 2 has been renamed Studio FF Sustainer.
  • Studio FB Compressor 1 has been renamed Studio FB Compressor and Studio FB Compressor 2 has been renamed Studio FB Sustainer.
  • Types have been alphabetized.
Improved Gate block:
  • Improved Downward Expander type. The “Hold Time” parameter has been removed as it is not compatible and no longer needed with the new algorithm. This type has been renamed “Classic Expander” as it based off classic analog downward expanders.
  • Added “Modern Expander” type. This type uses a novel approach to the envelope detector resulting in improved ballistics compared to traditional analog expanders. A “Knee Type” parameter has been added which allows selecting between hard-knee expansion and varying degrees of soft-knee expansion.
Improved Noise Gate in Input block:
  • Improved performance based on new algorithm developed for Gate block.
  • A Mode selection has been added allowing the user to select between “Easy” and “Advanced”. In Easy mode the number of parameters is reduced simplifying the adjustment procedure for those who are unfamiliar with the finer details of gates/expanders for guitar noise reduction applications.
Various other fixes and improvements.
