Axe-Fx III 16.00 Beta 4 "Cygnus" Firmware - Public Beta

[Goodsal]

The JTM45 is my favorite amp. I liked the old model, but the new version gets so much closer to the loose bottom end that I love so much about these amps. I can’t stop playing it. The touch sensitivity is off the charts. Well done!

Any Metal guys out there, as Ola asks 'does it chug' samples or it didn't happen

and the 1978 patch is now also updated and Cygnus ready:

Amp Block Channels:

A - FAS Brown
B - Plexi 100W High
C - Plexi 50W 6CA7

I keep going back and forth between them, but I think I like the FAS Brown the best

This is the most time they're taking before releasing an official version, so I think you're fine, no need to worry.

Back about two or three years ago, I had three platforms from which to choose. Man, did I choose the right one or what?! Hot damn!

 

[skydog]

I noticed that. It sounds very much like some original blackface Deluxe Reverbs I had, just as if they were miked and I was in the control room or I had headphones on.

Over my years, I collected all of the relevant Fender and Marshall amps. At my age, they were cheap.

This new firmware version is flat-out, right-on, spot-on, true-blue, fair dinkum.

Hell yes.

? I dont see any vids of him chugging that's why...he does shred though, love his stuff.

 

[MaVo]

Is there any hint when the final release candidate of Cygnus will be released?

 

[jon]

I'm guessing sometime this week or next week, based on the estimate Cliff gave a few weeks ago, but it's gonna be ready when it's ready and no sooner than that

 

[Josetxu]

Really looking foward to have some quality time to spend playing and test Cygnus, looks promising!

 

[Digital Man]

add to that the teaser thread with 709 replies and the various related threads; I think this update may very well have turned the most heads so far.

Yes, this update is incredibly significant.

Altho others say differently on TGP, from the reactions of others here who have played and heard (and felt) it, I agree.

Work- yuk.... I should have my Axe-FX III out of its box, and in the rack by then. What good timing!!!

Fair Dinkum! Good usage of a great saying.

From google if you like this kind of word origin thing:
The word "dinkum" was reputedly coined on the Australian goldfields. It comes from one of the Chinese dialects widely spoken at the diggings: "din" and "kum" loosely translating as "true gold".

Fair dinkum needs to make a comeback. I'd also like to nominate caterwauling. How could we describe the wailings of a Cygnus user? Chucklewauling? Chugawauling?

This is important.

Thats enough of that malarkey.

Ha! Try the Atomicas ......

Even better, how about the name “Oppenheimer and the Atomicas”?
