Axe-Fx Firmware Version 21.02

[Brian Coonan]

Not doing that here, with that preset. Maybe something else in the chain?

Thanks for checking it out Yek. Going to keep testing and see if I can narrow it down further or record it. Appreciate your time.

Yep, this is what I was thinking




But the jp kick them both

I’m a huge, huge fan of the Mark IV, but the differences are so slight it puts it into the negligible category for me. The V does sound slightly more compressed but in the context of that clip, it sounds like backing off the master volume and adding some Presence on the V would probably close the gap.

Reduced default Power Tube Grid Bias for PVH 6160 and Recto models as previous default was hotter than these amps are typically run due to the non-adjustable bias.

Curious as to what the new default values are so I can import them into my FM3 presets.

Thanks!

Small thing, with a workaround, but AxeEdit's Check For Updates command doesn't see this update, and didn't see the last one either.

Is it supposed to, or is that functionally no longer supported, we should just download from the forum (which I did)?

I updated both yesterday and Axe-Edit did notify me for the update. Were you using the version that was released to support the beta by any chance? There is a note that there was no code change between that and the final. Perhaps if you already had the beta that was the reason?

Nope no beta.
I have limited music time, so I almost always wait for real releases, instead of chasing weirdness that gets resolved for the final.

55% for both.

55% for both.

Much appreciated!

Can we have the Friedman be -50 I would love to have the exact amp I have in the axe fx

I can't imagine the BE100 is that much different to warrant a completely new model?

I know they have a 5153 100w and 50w but to my understanding those amps have different voicings....especially the blue channel

 

[<MACHINE>]

Maybe share the preset so they can see the behavior with your settings?

It's still doing it after the update. I'm fair with a computer, but I've never uploaded a preset and haven't a clue how to do it. Can you or anyone point me to a tutorial?

It notified me last night...

Just unscrew your axe fx and remove 2 power tubes

 

[My name is mud]

Thinking of it, there is no possibility to choose 2X power tubes better than 4 somewhere ?

Firmware 21.04 - possibility of turning a 100w head to 50w

Simply go to "Export Preset" in the "preset" category at the top of AXE edit.

…And with this, you have the “roadking edition” for every amp

Choose a archon 100, switch the power tube to 2x el34, 2X 6l6, 2X el34 + 2X6l6 (!!), 4x6l6 + 2xel34…

Haaa ideas . That’s not these that are missing…

There is a parameter that simulate smaller power section like a 50 watt
Transformer match ???
I don’t recall but one of them does
A smaller output would saturate quicker to so you could also
Turn up the output compressor

I didn't see it mentioned that the smoothness improvements were also applied to the pitch block. Did I miss it or is that correct?

I use a modifier with the virtual capo (pedal 3 FC 12mk 1 EV2) to simulate tremolo dives and in the beginning of the action it has a little gap glitch or whatever, similar to amps changing channels.

I've messed with the attack, release, position engage speeds and a few other parameters and nothing seemingly changes/improves this phenomenon.

Another thing of note about it, when turning the unit on, the first usage of this action, the glitch is quite severe. Running the pedal through its motions a few times smooths it out some, but it's still has a bit of a jump. Also, playing for an extended period of time and NOT using the pedal/modifier/VC, it will jump dramatically when activated ... Meaning after not having used it in say 10, 15, 20 minutes or whatever.

If that's how it is and can't be improved, certainly not the end of the world. Especially if I knowingly engage "warm up" the pedal/modifier prior to playing the parts that utilize it.

But maybe you could take a look at it and see if it's something simple to tweak?

Ok, I think I figured out how to do the preset...

DANG the Buxom Boost. What a rad pedal. Wow might replace the Klon for me.

I loaded this up from beta 2, and I am having similar issues with the input gate as @My name is mud I had to disable the input gate and use a gate block after the amp block to clean it up. Now I am not getting the distorted crackles using it this way.

Otherwise this firmware is great. I messed with the speaker tab and was able to really tighten up the palm mutes with putting speaker thump at 0.9 drive at 3 and compression at about 3.4 knocking off about 0.3. Next I played with the amp compression and knocked off about 1.0 - 1.5 DB there and raised the clarity to about 7.

This made the JP2c just killer. Still use the MB comp before and after the amp block to keep everything tight in the lows and low mids.

 

[slimefuzz]

Yeah, I was considering making a "Slow Gear" type based on that.

I wish for the attack to be modifiable with expression, etc.
and the attack to go very fast like 1-2 ms up to 1 sec or longer.
