Axe-Fx III Firmware 26.02 Public Beta

[Johnkenn]

There's a midrange kerang that now feels like it's in all of the amps...which is great.

Question...? Is the input 1 / instrument A/D Sensitivity still doing anything? I am getting some clipping with the new firmware. I turned it and it seems to do nothing.

Are you getting the Clip Warning?

Also, where did you adjust Input Sensitivity to?

And how are you determining that you are clipping?

I had it set to 20% and then rolled back to the previous FW to see if anything changed. I adjusted it on actual Axe- FX instead of in Axe Edit and it seems to work on the previous FW. I then went back to the beta and all seems to be working correctly now. I couldn't reproduce it. I will keep an eye on it and see if anything weird happens again but so far back to wonderful tone.

feel is much closer to the experience of sitting beside a tube amp... very nice!

As in you go deaf with a 1959 plexi?

Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Notes​

26.02

Improved Amp block preamp algorithms, especially for amps with multiple gain stages. Tones are “gutsier” and have a more dynamic response with more “pop”. Also improves accuracy when input of Amp block is driven by a Drive pedal (whether real or virtual).

Now you’ll hear more people on other forums saying, “see that’s why I don’t like fractal units, they make so many updates your sound changes all the time!!!”

They usually completely ignore my response when I say “feel free to skip updates, easy peasy”. Funny how some people are, I’m kind of glad they are not buying fractal stuff

If “my sound changing all the time” means it's improving, then sign me up!

Exactly. The alternative is the Line 6 paradigm, where all the most important core amp models (Twin, DR, AC30, JTM45, 1959SLP, JCM800, Recto, etc) are unchanged (unimproved) since 2015, and all the newer random amp models no one asked for are of noticeably better quality.

Seems like there's no issues with the beta so far so I'm gonna give it a spin!

Finally finished verifying the new amp modeling. Can be found here:
