So, who's actually been playing guitar?
I went back to 15.01. just to get familiar with ax3 and waiting for official cygnus release.
I play every single day for hours and 15.01. is just outstanding
So, who's actually been playing guitar?
I have, but on my FM3. Heading to rehearsal place for the first time in over 3 months to release the Cygnus on my III. I know I’m gonna love it already.So, who's actually been playing guitar?
You got anything between your guitar and the input? A boost or anything? Maybe it’s just burly man-hands!Jeez. Hearing stuff like this always makes me wonder if I've got something screwed up somewhere in my chain.
I use PAFs and Blazes, I have my input all the way down at 6%, and I still feel like I'm hitting red slightly more than I should on it.
Sure, go to the first post of this thread, download the zip file and re-install the firmware.Please oh please can it be firmware friday?!?
My wife's acoustic combo had a lot of fun with the Men at Work chestnut Land Down Under, so when one of our principal musicians moved to another state, we gave him some Vegemite as a gag going away present.People outsize of Oz lack the years of intense cultural training that is required to know how to apply Vegemite properly.
Yeah, maybe if we had something else to do like try out a new firmware (hint hint)!!!It's what happens when bored people mill around wanting something to do.
100%. When I first got the Axe Fx 3 I kept hearing a weird high pitched transient in my pick attack and palm mutes. I hated it, I thought I was doing something wrong in my settings. Then I realized it went away if I held my pick at a straighter angle. Blew my mind. I'd been using nothing but Dunlop Jazz IIIs for like 10 years, but that prompted me to start using some thinner / softer picks.It may have been mentioned earlier but I can not remember having seen it in this thread with the very interesting discussion regarding "fingers VS signal chain" (guitar, cable, AXe FX III and outboard gear).
Have you tried to play with different guitar picks (materials, shapes, "angle of attac" (i.e. how you hold the pick) etc.)? My experience is that the pick I use have a large effect on my tone => same hands, same guitar, same signal chain. I mostly use a stone pick and switching to a plastic (or nylon) pick with roughly the same shape create a noticeable difference in the tone (motsly to the worse according to my taste).
Hah, try a stone pick! Cool in other ways, but chirp city you can't unhear, at least I couldn't.100%.

Unfortunately, no matter what guitar I pick up, I also sound unmistakably like myself.I’ve watched multiple talented guitarists (David Gilmour, Joe Walsh, Steve Vai to name but a few) pick up a random guitar into whatever amp is in front of them — and it unmistakably sounds like them...
My friend and I played the same riff on the same guitar, same strings, and same rig with same IR and BMT hitting the same levels on the VU meters.
His tone is more upper mids and sounds like there is a bass roll off at 150 Hz.
My tone sounds like it has a bass boost at the same frequency and a more even tonality in the upper mids.
If we didn't do it in the same room literally with a couple of minutes passing while we passed the guitar and pick to each other, then I would be incredulous regarding your fingers/hand being a major component of tone too.
That experience made me realize how much hand structure, tissue/bone density, and hand pressure contribute to tone variance.
Biding our time, waiting for the final. No rush, though - rather have Cliff get it right, than do it quickly.View attachment 81354
