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

Shred boost was added to wiki in April 2021: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”
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
And probably Priest on British SteelLove the two new drive pedals - OD1 into a Marshall is instant early Maiden, and the Buxom is my new favourite MIAB
Thanks
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.You are looking the wrong part of the wiki.

Yep , like before this update with the “shred”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.
Congrats man you got your gate improvement so happy it works the way you hoped and kudos to Cliffthe 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.
Yeah he globally nailed it ! The easy mode adjust the ratio at the same time than the threshold in one knob. I’m impressed with the modern expander, now that is a next gen gate !the input gate is way better than before !!

for the new algos
damn i rarely install betas unless theres an axe edit update, but this comment from you is making me want to reconsider.. I m impressed with the modern expander, now that is a next gen gate !
I had to try. First I wanted to wait axe edit too but this is too much important to me to not try it . And it’s always fun to feel like an ass when you use the front paneldamn i rarely install betas unless theres an axe edit update, but this comment from you is making me want to reconsider.
Thanx Cliff!!!!https://www.fractalaudio.com/downlo...xe-fx-3/21p0/axefxiii_dsp_rel_21p02_beta2.zip
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 Gate 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 Noise Gate in Input 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.
Various other fixes and improvements.
- 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.
They just have to tell me and I will gladly do so.Mud's made some good suggestions that have made it's way into Fractal land, I think he should get his own preset as part of the factory presets!
I would vote for that!They just have to tell me and I will gladly do so.
