Axe-Fx III Firmware 28.00 Release

[FractalAudio]

Is it normal that, when raising the Room Level, the volume of the cab would increase as well?

Yes. It's not a mix control, it's a level control.

 

[MirrorProfiles]

Yes, multiply by 0.707 to go down one tap.

If you double the NFB resistor you would decrease the NFB by 1/2.

Much appreciation

Holy crap, talk about killer organic sounds! And so far, I've only touched one preset. It is based around the USA MK IIC+ Deep Bright and it was blowing me away. I love when a new FW drops and my planned exam of all the goodies goes right out the window, as the sound/feel overrides my focus to instead make music!
Thanx as always to Cliff and all the FAS team! I'm so appreciative you do what you do!!
Cheers,
Lee

Can to share your preset? I’m still figuring out how to get a good Mark tone.

I'm getting a visual anomaly both on the hardware and in the new Axe-Edit where if the Modern VCA Compressor Knee Type is set to Hard, no knee at all is shown on the graph's blue line:

When using the built-in firmware update feature within Fractal Bot, where does it save the firmware files on your hard drive?

The Splawn Nitro models are so much tighter now as well! Fantastic to play!!! I assume since they are JCM 800 based they are also affected by some of these improvements?

FWIW, John Segeborn posted a load of values that Marshall used over the years. Its quite interesting to follow the evolution of the circuits:

Give me a couple minutes and I’ll post it.

Good shout! They always sounded like a cross between a JCM800 and a Dual Rectifier to my ears. I'll definitely give them a spin soon.

I see the same on that type. Only on the Hard knee setting as reported.

BUG

I have a serious tone problems with all the presets with marshall involved
I send you a preset in PM @FractalAudio

sound like there is a fixed flanger in the tone

 

[State of Epicicity]

difference is value wasn't shown on the align menu before, it was just on the cabs menu .Looks like it might not have refreshed the screen for you..

That said, I am not seeing this on my 2 - mk II turbos, or 2 mk Is.

I have a Mark II. Thanks for taking a look! I wonder if it showed up like that for me just after adjusting alignment on the second cab. I was too busy playing all night and only noticed that on the display the one time, but mostly I do not look at that screen while using it! My M.O. since DynaCabs were released has been to move alignment with my left hand on the front panel while I move mics with the Axe-Edit screen maximized on my laptop. So it might have shown up other times and I just wouldn't have seen it.

I'll try to recreate it though.

It seems that the problem comes with the choosen stock cabs, like something is de-phased

I have reboot the unit, reinstall the fimrware, axe edit etc ... Still got the problem .

Do you use the room in your cabs ?

fwiw, this is the best sounding firmware yet. I had these new triode algorithms but I didn't think they'd run in real time. On a lark, I coded them and was surprised to see them run with sufficient overhead.

Does that mean we should expect higher over all CPU utilization?

hi, no this is just a combinaison of the stock OH marshall cabs in these ones, i didnt touch the room setting, I am reinstalling 27.03 to see if the problems goes away

See the Release Notes and turn the Room Level down.

Ok I'm back with firmware 28 Beta 4 and everything is ok.

ok let's see this room think, maybe I have touched it but didnt remember . Let s go I reinstall this firmware...

 

[ApocalypticKatana]

Loving the “scratchiness” and clarity of sound/strings I get from the models I use

Bravo to the new triode algorithm

I’m finding the CAE 3+ SE rhythm channel to sound very much different (though considering it has 7 triode tubes afaik) it makes sense with the new algorithm

(Whether it uses all 7 for the channel , idk)
