That is what he meant.
If you are into aggressive tones, experiment with the Power Tube Bias. Drop it to, say, 2.00 and you'll get more crossover distortion which adds a nice sizzle. This is partly why 5150s sound the way the do, they're biased cold.
Interested by this post. Does this mean default 5150 model bias is not set to mimic the real amp, or simply we can get a greater "5150" effect by making it colder?
One day I'll be at a convenient project break and upgrade from v3, probably next year. I found my (so far) ultimate distorted tone in v3. It would be interesting if for one upgrade, an older set of algorithms was reinstated and see if everyone still says it's the best one yet Great to see the innovations coming thick and fast anyway.
Reducing the bias seems to reduce the volume, is it normal ?A 5150 uses a fixed bias with no adjustment. Depending on the tubes used the bias can run from average to cold. The model uses average. Some people like a colder sound. If you prefer your amps biased cold, then reduce the bias parameter to taste.
I wonder if its at all possible in the future to add new fx in to each scene? I like being able to have the ability to turn on and off multiple fx but I rarely turn on more than two at a time. Also that would mean I would lose ia's on my LF jr that already has too little for me because its a g1 and not the newer multi functioning lfj+. Being able to toggle thru scenes with one button and having a brand new set of cc available would be amazing, it would make lfj almost as flexible as any midi controller out there.
I'm extremely excited about the features and sound, however version 9.00 beta is not ready for prime time! It caused numerous buffer overflows requiring power resets during rehearsal last night. The Axe-Fx II behaved like never before; I started with an Ultra in 2009! I worked ok as long as no changes were introduced to the active patch.
ie: engaging Wah or a delay would cause the Axe-Fx & MFC to freeze! I'm going back to 8.01a.
No PC involved or Axe-Edit; this was used as in a live setting at rehearsal.DO NOT USE AXE-EDIT WITH VERSION 9.00!!!!!!!!!!
