Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Notes​


19.01

Added Damping control to Modifiers. The default, EXPONENTIAL, is the classic damping style where the modifier value has an exponential attack/decay. LINEAR selects a linear attack/decay.

Added Type control to ADSRs. The default, EXPONENTIAL, is an analog style where the ADSR has an exponential attack/decay. LINEAR selects a linear attack/decay.

Improved Phase Inverter Bias Excursion accuracy for some amp models (mostly non-MV types). Note: The improved PI Bias Excursion accuracy results in an increase in bias excursion in most cases. Bias excursion primarily manifests as intermodulation distortion, particularly subharmonic distortion. This produces a chunkier tone with more growl and also yields a thicker tone when rolling off the volume or playing lightly. The amount of bias excursion can be adjusted using the PI Bias Excursion control in the Advanced menu.

Renamed Timothy and Suhr Riot Drive models to clarify switch position.

Added Hi Mid control to Drive block.

Fixed Blackglass 7K model as reference pedal was defective. Added “Grunt” and “Attack” knobs to GUI (Grunt switch on pedal is a selectable low cut so knob duplicates Low Cut control).

Changed response of Horizon Precision Drive “Attack” control to match pedal (was reversed previously). Any presets using this model should be adjusted accordingly.

Improved accuracy of “G-taper” used for tone control in some Drive models, i.e., T808, VS9, Super OD, etc. Impact on existing presets is likely negligible but any presets using Tube Screamer models and their variants should be auditioned.

Fixed selecting Gibtone Scout tone stack causes NaN in certain amp models.

Fixed Amp block headroom meter monitoring wrong circuit node.

Fixed GUI not being redrawn when switching between a knob menu and a list menu.

Various other fixes and improvements.

Awesome 😎 thx
 
This is the stuff that makes me feel right out of the gate, I love when this stuff gets added.

This makes me quite happy:

Can't wait to try.

I'm just picturing the team responsible for porting Axe FX III firmware to FM3 and FM9 pulling out their hair and screaming, "STOP! WE CAN'T KEEP UP!!!!" Just amazed at the continuous improvement you put into this product! Worth every dollar!
 
The Blackglass is absolutely roaring on this FW.

If anyone was using factory preset 103 "Leon's Djent Bass" the updated Blackglass model now makes it far too loud - I've gone and adjusted things based on the new update and attached it here.

Man. I had just lent my Axe Fx III to a friend indefinitely and then this FW drops. That's what I get for primarily using my FM3. Oh well. Hopefully it'll all come to that at some point - particularly the blackglass. Again, thanks for all of this - can't wait to try it :D
