Axe-Fx III Firmware 24.04 Release

[mr_fender]

Quick question about the Vintage Digital Delay: manual says the bitrate is set lower with this type (16 bit maybe?). If so, setting the Bit Reduction to 8 it becomes 8 bit? Right?

EDIT: figured out it should be 12 bit by default, so setting the Bit Reduction to 4 should emulate 8 bits?

The parameter reflects how many bits are removed from the full 24 bit samples. The default setting of 16 gives 8 bit samples since 24-16=8.

Awesome. Very nice updates.

Fantastic, thanks! At this rate the poor old FM3/9 will never get caught up, lol

Anyone who buys an FM unit understands that the bleeding edge updates are reserved for the Axe-FX and features will trickle down to the other units when they're ready. At least they should understand that.

Thank you Cliff!

I am sure Cliff appreciates people complaining about the FM3 being behind in every release thread.

Perhaps mods would create new rules to disallow the FM3 / 9 update comments in the Axe-FX III firmware release threads.

I spent way to much time making this lmao. Sweet update for some killer models!

The parameter reflects how many bits are removed from the full 24 bit samples. The default setting of 16 gives 8 bit samples since 24-16=8.

But the manual says the bitrate is set lower with the Vintage Digital Delay type. IIRC setting it to above 13 makes it kind of unusable already. 24-13=11. That can’t be right.

So 22 types now? (can't check it myself)

The D60 was updated to "Series II" specs.

the d60 more now sounds a bit gainier and "spongy" (like the gain stages moved further down - dont know how well that describes it)
i've seen people who use the actual amp prefer the series 1 version. is there some reason you updated this model?
and is there some parameter that can compensate for the change and bring it closer to the previous one? it seems to have lost some of the snappiness and fast response in return for more gain...

D60 series II is the way to go. Fryette is actually releasing a series II+ sometime soon. Not sure what the revisions are yet though.

Geez, don't misunderstand, I'm not complaining at all. Simply making a lighthearted comment as to the amazing progression of the axefx3. Love my axefx3 and am perfectly content with my FM units. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't mind if they stayed right where they're at, they serve my purpose. Y'all need to relax

Keep this on topic or I’ll have to cull the tangential chatter. Thanks.

I updated it because I wanted to.
To get the sound of the previous model roll back to an earlier firmware.

Thanks Cliff! Those Friedmans have remained my favorites since they were introduced so many years ago.
