Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 8.01 Firmware Release & New Bank A Presets

Are the Bank A presets updated for the Axe FX 2 XL?

Or uwe fractool to

Dear Cliff & FAS team members,

As a MKII owner i'm super glad the latest quantum versions are still available. I downloaded and played with the latest Quantum 8.01 and it's really super great. Very open and clear. You can hear the seperate string definitions when playing chords. The different amps are sooo good for getting different sounds and point of break. The Marshall's, Fenders, Vox are super to play with and also Das Metal with drop D is amazing.

The openess, the compression of the amps and cabs with the fact that you can tweak everything to your likings and taste is something I always wanted. And now it's something I have and soooo flexible, soooo versatile!

And talking about tweaking: since Quantum 8.01 (after a reset of the amps and cabs) it's so easy to dail in a great sound with almost no tweaking necessary. The only tweaking I do is of course gain and mostly based on the default MV, some BMT,& the motor drive's.

Less Tweaking & more tone!

THANKS
(a happy MKII owner)
 
Amps sound great! CA-OD2 has it's magic back and the Komets rock w/ great harmonic content. Working through the others - slow ... got the Hiwatt redialed.

Not fully confirmed yet, but some of these amps are much clearer for lead work without a drive engaged. Perhaps that's intended, but new for me.
 
Were defaults changed as part of this FW change? I have had values change in [xformer grind], [out comp threshold], [pwr amp bias] for the AC30TB model... would have thought that would have been mentioned in the release notes. and yes i checked, these weren't parameters I touched.

(other parameters may have been affected, just these were the ones i noticed)
 
Getting ready to load up 8.01 and it's kind of bitter sweet. My tendinitis is flaring up from 8.00 and I have a feeling it's going to be a pain and pleasure sort of night. How do you guys that have this condition get through it? I'm not actually sure if that's what I have but my tendons in my wrist and forearm hurt along with my wrist bone and pinky. My wrist pops and my hand is a little weak but no numb or tingling fingers so I don't think its carpal. Anyway going to go try 8.01, thanks!

Your off topic but I know about this. Go see a specialist. Really. I had to stop playing for a year when I was giging professionally and kickin butt. It killed me but saved me from a lifetime of hurt. My Dr. helped and I've not had my issues since. Find a reputable hand surgeon. Not that you need surgery. That's the last thing you want. In fact don't. But a good surgeon can help you find the issue and give you excellent advice about recovery. Pain killers will only make it worse so don't go that avenue. GOOD LUCK.

REDD, there's 'new' evidence coming out that it's the food. I had the same thing, and when the Advil started to eat my gut, i researched joints and inflammation and in a heap of 'offers' landed on a life changing page. Their solution to inflammation wasn't very satisfying, nothing to sell, just a revolutionary conclusion based on decades of medical evidence, that flies in the face of the standard American diet. Dr. John Mcdougall is an outspoken member of a growing fleet of medical doctors and practicing physicians, and a great name to search as an entry point for free knowledge and tube videos. Essential knowledge for AxeFX players. ;)
 
Well, after trying it out for 2 days now, I'm going back to 7.02, 8.01 still clips at either end and tbh I preferred 7.02, lets see what happens with the next upgrade

Have others reported this issue? If not, it's very likely your presets...

What do you mean "at either end"? Are you saying your input is clipping?

I had the same from 6.02.
In 8.00, a lot (or all, I dont remember) of amps have Master volume at 10.
You have just to decrease the value.
 
Really, really not sure why no one has posted these yet (maybe I missed the post?), whether @FractalAudio himself or any of the thousands of people with FracTool, but, here are the new presets for non-XL+ systems:

New presets for:
AxeFX II XL (non-plus): https://forum.fractalaudio.com/atta...8/?temp_hash=e3ec8700b70377ec97af00144ed48621

AxeFX II (non-XL, non-plus): https://forum.fractalaudio.com/atta...9/?temp_hash=e3ec8700b70377ec97af00144ed48621

NOTE: Use at your own risk! The XL non-plus worked for me, but I couldn't test the other one as I only own an AxeFX II XL non-plus.

Thanks a million :)
