[jcfiallos]

Here how it ends when you have changed the gate in 230 presets today , with the Marshall jubilee

Man! Smoking Great performance! And tone to die for

I'm experiencing a really weird bug: the tuner on the Axe seems to be quite a bit off but I didn't add any offset.

No problems here. Are you on Axe Edit 1.3.18?

Hi, perhaps someone has noticed that in this thread but when i switch to the tuner (output set to mute) the feedback of the delays(repeats) stay. I have tried different presets for the same result. Don't have hear that on the beta #1

Anything connected to the Axe digitally that is not set to a 48k sample rate?

Turn off spillover?

I haven’t updated my Axe III with recent firmwares yet because I’ve been recording my album and didn’t want to have to mess with my current tones (which I’m happy with). Plus, I don’t beta test.
I really want to catch up with the latest goodies soon, but the one thing I’ve seen mentioned a few times with the Cygnus X-3 that I don’t like the ‘sound’ of is… blurry. I don’t mind a little BMT & presence adjustments, and I don’t tweak the advanced parameters… but I wonder how much might change, and how much tweaking I might find myself doing. I made a few dozen presets going from clean to mean. But I’m also all for Cliff giving us the most authentic representation of the amps.

Don’t get turned off by all the weird adjectives. I know it’s subjective, but from what I hear, the clarity and note definition that was there before is still intact. And when it comes to the more crunchy tones, the saturation may be a touch smoother, maybe that’s what they meant by blurry. I just turn down the gain to regain some of the raspiness. It took me many years to gather the courage to turn down the gain

Turn off spillover?

it's off, and it's the first update wich i have this issue. Tuner on have to cut all the output, even the spillover i think...

Any change in behavior when you change the tuner mute setting between off/input/output?

I see the same readings on the axe display so I don't think it matters.

i don't have changed anything. Another bug, switch the tuner on, guitar vol on 0, the bar indicator (don't know how to say that) is present and move alone... Normally with guitar vol at 0, there is nothing on the tuner. I have tried with anither guitar, another cable, another input, same results.. so its a bug

 

[pierre.pan]

i have the latest axe edit 1.13.18.

 

[painkiller]

I also noticed that spillover when I switch to the tuner. But is that a problem? At least not to me.
That the tuners shows a note even when the guitar volume is at zero is also not unusual. Many tuners do this.

Is your Tuner set to mute Input or Output?

MuteOFF/INPUT/OUTPUT Determines how the tuner mute function works.
OFF: No mute. All signal is passed as usual when the tuner is engaged.
OUTPUT: The signal is muted at the output. Tails are silenced.
INPUT: The signal is muted at the noise gate. Tails ring out

See page 69 in the manual:

My tuner is set to Mute Output. Then it's a bug. According to the manual it shouldn't behave like this.
It doesn't make a difference if I set it to Input or Output.

Nothing like that before this last update, and yes, hearing the delay repeats if i switch the tuner on is a problem!

The tuner is set to mute output, and i don't have made change before this last update. No problem with the first beta update.

You're right, it's not like it should be.

 

[Dramelot]

I just backed up and installed hoping for not Bytor to bite me in the arse. Not scared, To clarify in 20 years i never got bit on an upgrade. Go Cliff!

 

[Rotti]

Release the firmware today and name it "Eclipse", instead of "Cygnus X-3" which I find to be a terrible name TBH.

It's not too late for "Apoc-Eclipse"...

...I'll see myself out.
