Axe-Fx III Firmware 23.00 Public Beta #1

[catscanman82]

FWIW, I was planning to update the JS410 Crunch models as well but my wife got Covid so I've retreated to our "cabin by the lake". When I get back home I'll finish the updates. I wanted to get the firmware into your grubby hands so you could test things out.

I hope your wife feels better And thanks for giving us this update

Technically it's not gapless, it's near gapless. Just like there isn't zero latency, its near zero latency. The nerd in me wonders how much of an improvement it was in terms of ms. I'm sure it was hella significant!

I A/B'd one of my main presets with the previous / current firmware. With the Plexi 100 I noticed a smoothing of the extreme top end in a very good way. After bringing the treble up a bit, the top end brightened like before but had a much sweeter overtone. Very cool!!

I don't believe Cliff would say "gapless" if that wasn't the case.

Those of us who know what this is are officially OLD!

It was an already an "ancient secret" back when dirt was rocks.

How would we describe it now?

Out of nowhere, Cliff drops the bomb on us:

While we're at it, couldn't we all benefit from a "Standby Block" for all the tube amp models?

I'd also like to request a defeatable "random valve failure mode", just to spice up the experience, and especially for giving gigs that extra sizzle. Pre-amp, power-amp or both (preferably) - I'm easy.

I'm totally in on that. Would be great fun.

How about a radio station emulator that randomly turns on.

Quick&dirty test of these new triodes

Sounds great! But what does this update do to the sound? I’m not experienced enough to know what to listen after nor knowing what the improvement does to the tubes.

The FM9 needs this yesterday.

I might be hearing things, but the virtual capo in the pitch block sounds so much better now?!?

I will really break this thing out more for small gigs if they can make this happen.

Spongyness between the transients, deglazé of the tube cathode, macerated bass, unleavened mids, tempered highs, velouted compression, molecular spherification of the timbre
