Axe-Fx II Firmware 17.04 Released

[ChinStrap]

Thanks

As always BIG thanks !


Now I've only had a chance to take it for a quick spin - and by quick I mean 5 or 6 presets - but do I need to adjust level up a little ? They all seem not as loud as they were 17.03. Were there any changes that may have caused this or is it as I suspect pilot error ?

There were changes to the power amp modelling and this *could* potentially change the output level.

Can't wait to try this out.
Everyone already comments how amp-like this box already is. Even get the question of, "where's the amp hiding?". Always great to see their face when I point to the Axe Fx and say that EVERYTHING comes from that box.

Glad to see more improvements to the amp modelling.

Note that in step 2 of the capture process described in the Readme, you should use a speaker cable (between Amp Out and DI In).
In step 4 you can use a HumBuster cable (between Axe-Fx Out and Amp In).

Wow! The low-end sounds great on my drop-A guitar. It has a bit more mass and still tight. A noticeable improvement!

17.04

Some amps have DI or slave outputs that are simple resistive dividers and work great for this purpose. These include:
Mesa Boogie Mark IV/V
Mesa Rectifier Series

Goodmorning,
"record" output of triaxis can works with this purpose?

tnx in advance

The Triaxis manual clearly states that the Record outputs reproduce the sound of a power amp and speaker cabinet.
In other words: the signal speaker contains speaker simulation. So you cannot use it for "Mic+DI" capturing.

Sounds like an "explosive" update

It´s a preamp, not a poweramp.
Couldn´t drive a speaker anyway.

Awesome!! Thanks FAS and team!

I have a Weber Mass 100 attenuator with a line out on it. Is that suitable for IR capture? If so, I'm glad I didn't sell it!

 

[reclavea]

Mesa MarkIII Slave out suffice? I think it is called Direct now.

Hi Horganovski,
Care to share the patch? I'm still not happy with what I'm getting out of the AXE FX for bass and are searching for a solution

Thanks
