[Jungovila]

All we need now is a floor unit as powerful as the AXE FX3 with the controls of the AX8 and we are done.

NOTE: If using Axe-Edit you will need to do Settings->Refresh After Firmware Update to update the amp model list.

I dont have the same feel with the 1987X and another marshall jump model I dont remember the name, they sound really dirty now (or maybe that's me)
Except this I have tried all my presets and it's ok .
jc120 is fixed, thordenthal is good, legacy is good , diezel silver is ok (but this amount of gain O.O) , rockerverb is ok ...
thank you ! cant wait for the official release !

With dizzy silver I have found model has less gain than the real amp.

ch.4 on real head you really cant go higher than 35-40% on gain knob, whereas on fractal, you have to set it at 65% to match the real amp.

That was true for Beta 11, will have to check now with current release candidate.

HBE V1 Fat into YA 5153 57 2, bass cranked like a real friedman = fat but not farty

Can’t wait to try this combination. It’s going to be a hard work day for me.

Thanks Fractal!

Check out the Buddah DuoMaster (formerly Buttery) model.

Hey, the Buttery is back!!

This was my fav amp from the beginning for grunge sounds with a Strat and Hotrail pup. Love it - and now I'm ready to go with Cygnus. Thanks for bringing the Buttery back.

FAS is listening to its customers - it's a great company.

I don't know if its just imagination, but my bass presets with the SV Bass 2 sounds so much better ... clearer and more growl.
And the B7K seems to have much more gain now, nice.

Suggestion; "Legend 100 II" may be a little confusing. How about renaming it into Legend 300, since it is based on the VL300?

This video just came from another thread:

It lasts one hour, but it is worth to see it complete, paying attention from start to end.




It should be compulsory study for many of us, before we say that something sounds "better than" or "worst than", when comparing firmware versions, before we chose the vocabulary to describe sound qualities of any piece of gear, or before we use words like "jitter"

It can also save us a lot of money buying gear

 

[MrPond]

Great!

That means FM3 version is closer.

Thank you!

Exciting! Haven’t had a chance to load this up yet. What version of the BE100 is the Friedman 2010 model from? Mark Days or the Marsha?

 

[DLC86]

Thanks Cliff! No release notes?

 

[AndrewJay]

What an awesome event to wake up to. Thank you Cliff for all the hard work. I can't wait to spend time checking it out, in fact, I'm not waiting! Breakfast and Axe FX, what a way to begin the day.

Thanks Cliff! No release notes?

As it is a release candidate I think we may we assume that all amps have been updated and checked.

 

[crdark]

Thanks Cliff! No release notes?

probably with the full release.
But Im curious if there really was something wrong with the old B7K ...

 

[Callan]

Did the Boutique get renamed in this release?

 

[yek]

yes, already so in previous beta.
