Axe-Fx III Firmware 28.00 Release

[Tommy Tempest]

I re-installed 27.03 and everything works fine. No lock ups. I left the new Axe Edit 1.14.11 installed, and it seems to be working fine with 27.03, So I don't think it's Axe Edit.

Before I gave up on 28.00 I deleted 4 blocks and got my CPU. around 70% and the Axe FXIII still locked up, no sound, and meters all stuck on full up, when I got to the dyna-comp classic. So I don't think it's CPU, although I did notice the new compressors seem to be increasing the CPU.

I'm running my normal complex 4 instrument presets at 78% with absolutely no issues. At home I'm actually running my guitar, 2 keyboards and vocals through my Axe FXIII MKII Turbo, with again, no issues. This update is the best yet. I suggest reloading Axe Edit and the firmware, then try as many factory presets as you like first to see if the issue is still there. Then check any 3rd party or your own created presets, as they can sometimes reek havoc.

I think Cliff is saying “dont post about it, report the bug the proper way”

You mean he doesn't keep posting that reporting bugs link for his health?

-I spent this morning trying. to recreate it and was unable to. First I thougt it was my older unit so I left the issue alone then I saw this morning that it happened to someone else. If it happens again I will report what it the proper way. Cheers

Just for the support report:
I changed the CR2032 battery for a new one and restored my good fw 28 system backup.
Unfortunately it didn't change anything: After several reboots with a pause of several minutes between each startup, I lost all my system and FC settings..

Alot of people seems to have problems with fw28 mine f... up my ext switches and when i loaded the old settings in it whiped preset 1-5 clean
back to beta which seems to run good... but maybe its not firmware but Axe edit can anyone confirm ?

I see a lot of praise for the Marshalls, Friedmans, Stealths and other beasts. But the old 6G4 Super deserves some love. Here is a little quick demo with the new firmware. Tube Drive 5-knob with drive at 0.8. Optical Compressor + Modern VCA Compressor. Factory 1 #190 1x12 Carol-Ann CAB.

Bravo, @Piing! Wonderful Gilmour vibe & feel! Very nice, indeed!

Are the “Improved triode modeling algorithms and Various other fixes and improvements” applicable to all amp models or just the ones listed in Cliffs post?

I only really use the Dirty Shirley and Band Commander

I wonder just how much the CPU has gone up for each of the compressors fro 27.03 to 28.00.

You have an AxeFX III, you already have more CPU than you’ll ever need…

Dimarzio Bluesbucker at the neck position of a RG550LTD. The Bluesbucker is a very P90ish humbucker.

He did such a great job here with fw28, I had to share. @Burgs

 

[boyce89976]

Even if no other improvements, the light rings around the knobs are worth the update, and then some! Thank you!

For you maybe, but not me. In the past when firmware updates increased the CPU it often made me have to delete a block in a preset that was just fine before the update. That is one of the reasons the Axe FXIII Turbo exists. I'll probably update to the Turbo eventually specifically for the added CPU.

Is it normal that the ratio of some Compressors always jumps to 4, if you try a lower setting?

 

[fremen]

Yes, those models have a minimum ratio of 4, by design

 

[Lettuce]

Feels good, eh? Too much fun. Loving the Dynami-comp and VCA Bus compressors. Seems like you nailed the sound of the SSL.

Thank you Mr Chase. Extraordinary.

How would you recommend to use the cabinet room modeling?
