Axe-Fx III Firmware 2.05 Public Beta

[funknoodles]

I generally never install beta firmware, but I made an exception here to try the SVT. And it's much much better, so thank you for that! My only wish would be that the three-position mid switch be added as a selectable option.

The Portaflex is also very nice, but since my sum total of time with the real thing is probably about four hours spread over 40 years, I can't speak to its authenticity.

FWIW - the mid position switches between 220Hz,
450Hz, 800Hz, 1.6kHz and 3kHz. I think you can get it close with a PEQ or GEQ block after the amp or the output EQ on the amp block. From what I remember - it wasn't a very dynamic EQ or anything but I could be wrong.

Is there a way to adjust the compressor block so it compresses the sound like a pedal compressor; and also, how to get more sustain out of patches? I noticed significant less sustain and no compression out of my AXE III. Am I doing something wrong?

Not on the originals. 220, 800, and 3K only:

Use one of the Pedal types if you want a pedal emulation.

Check the Noise Gate settings on Input block. I disable it...

we don't know what you're doing, so we can't tell. upload a preset or at minimum show an Axe-Edit screen shot of the Layout with the Compressor selected.

Just installed the beta & love the new cab block controls. You can really fine tune feel and I really like the sound of misaligned irs

Are you monitoring with headphones by chance?

I admit I didn't read this whole thread, but... I updated to 2.05 Public Beta but I still don't see the room reflection parameter in the cab block... Is this only coming in the full release? Did I miss something? Thanks!

Axe-Edit III will need to be updated to support 2.05. The new parameters should be available on the hardware.

 

[Ugly Bunny]

The new parameters should be available on the hardware.

Ah that's right. I saw the video and for some reason thought it was on Axe Edit, but yeah, it was definitely just on the unit itself. Thanks for clearing that up

You can assign per-preset CS values in the per-preset area.

Life saver, thanks so much! I couldn't find any mention of the control switches in the manual and I'd never been into the per preset settings.

 

[funknoodles]

@AdmiralB - Well, there you go. I guess the same thing applies though. Maybe Cliff can clarify once the firmware gets green lit on the specific details.

 

[Azael Montejo]

no, I''m using my studio monitors even with my amps it still loses sustain!!

Updated to the latest Firmware 2.05 noticed the graph on the amp block/input EQ has no line. Noticed the when I went to adjust the low cut. Also noticed the unit sounds different

Cool that helped, I get more of the original signal without being cut off by the gate... thanks unix

That issue has been reported.

Also noticed the unit sounds different

In what way?

This could have always been this way, I had my cab panned to the left I noticed my right meter was even with my left, I muted the cab and the sound still came through liked it was by passed. I didn’t notice the bleed through before but I’ve only had the unit for a short time.

Without seeing your preset, it's hard to know what's causing that.

 

[Jim DeSchamp]

It's only on one preset. I'm going to rebuild it in another preset bank to see what happens

Can you create IR's with just a load box just for amps? I want to create IR's for my heads and combos.

Thanks,

Jim

No. Well you could but the information would be useless. In modelers an IR is used to capture and reproduce the transfer function of the speaker. It's a high-order filter that replicates the sound of the speaker.
