Axe-Fx III Firmware 23.03 Beta #1

[Jipps0525]

Bash and crash with the new stuff here.



Also this is the first time I've ever had a copyright notice on a video for simply playing an unaccompanied guitar riff, so I'll take that as evidence @FractalAudio nailed that 2203 model.

Holy crap the stealth model sounds cool. I really can’t wait to try that

I had an 83 2203 prior to the axe3 and can tell you master on 8 preamp gain on 2 and something providing a little hair and compression (ocd in real life) sounds fantastic.

That’s a nice tip. I mostly set drive at 5-6 and BMTP somewhat at noon. Setting master over 5 with drive at noon, the amp just gets too flubby and oversaturated.

I’m more into classic rock sounds and try to set the amp to be dynamic. Picking softly and lowering guitar volume gets you into clean sounds, and digging in harder gets you an overdriven sound. I love how dynamic these amps can get at best.

EDIT: I don’t think I’ve ever played a Marshall that doesn’t sound good with master volume cranked and low drive. Even the small solid state combo amps sound good.

As I have no access to my Axe-Fx for some time:

What are the exact names of the new 5153 and Brit 800 models, and the new drives?

Amps Models:
#021 5153 100W Blue Stealth
#045 Brit 800 2203

Drives:
#24 Gauss Drive
#38 Nobelium OVD-1
#53 Sunrise Splendor

I’m stunned that the Schenker riff got dinged
Michael’s not exactly largely known to the general public.
Hey @2112 was that a little Molly Hatchet going on there in your video ?
Surely YouTube must recognize that

On my amp i had presence basically off -try mids and treble more at 3 or 4 and see if thats to taste.

Fixed wrong Distortion pot taper in DS1 Distortion models.

Fixed wrong Gain pot taper in Angle Severe models.

should we reboot the blocks to have the fixed version ? thanks

The Red channel is the same as the OG 5153.

Just out of curiosity. Has the 5150 Stealth 50W Blue Channel the identical pre-amp circuit as the 100W Stealth version?

 

[Charry]

Meanwhile in the FM9 galaxy....

Can't wait to have all this goodies brought to us also, hopefully as a Christmas gift?

The Red channel is the same as the OG 5153.

But the 50w Red is not the same as the 100w red, soI would argue if we had all 3 channels of the 50w Stealth that would be awesome

Only on reset.

When you say reset, is there a way that can you force all presets to these new default values?

Sure, in Axe Edit "shift+right click" on the control and select "Set in Multiple Presets". You then can select which Presets you want to apply the setting to

If the new Gauss Drive is really the Mesa Flux Drive, that would be awesome ... I wanted to buy this pedal for a long time now, but it's not available anymore. At least in europe ...

 

[My name is mud]

everything works fine here, I have tried all the goodies .

It is confirmed the Mesa I believe

That's a batch setter. I don't think that has an option to reset blocks...

 

[hm269]

But you can apply the new default value(s) to all your Presets with this

 

[200man]

thank you @FractalAudio , your work is most appreciated !

 

[InsideOut]

I've brought this up before but never got an answer. Updating all presets seems to be an available option on the FM3 but not AxeFx III. Not sure why.

 

[unix-guy]

Assuming a) a fixed value, b) you know the value and c) it's a user settable value...

Many times the reset is changing "internal" settings and this method is useless.

That option only updates the firmware version under which the presets are saved, I believe... I could be wrong, though.
