Axe-Fx III Firmware 31.03 Release

Exactly why I was originally looking for this Traynor years ago - less expensive than a JTM45. Plus, these things were literally able to be thrown off the roof (minus the tubes) and still work, lol.
Fortunately for me, my jtm45 was a build and marginally more than a yba haha.

A vintage yba is around $800ish these days depending on model and upkeep, known builders are $1000-$1400 and some 60s fender heads (bassmaster, bandmaster) are around $1200-$1400. All prices in cad. People ask more of course but uh, those arent moving.

Birds of a feather... That was my thinking when I built a 5F8-A Twin, Overdrive Special, DR103, Fender-ish Leslie Model 16 "vibratone", etc. No way to find or afford (or both) these things, not to mention the stuff I found that were basket cases. As far as I was concerned, if something had a chassis, then I could do the rest. As you no doubt know, the cabinets/enclosures take longer than building up the circuits, but it can still be done much less than these real things. Here's my 5F8-A. I just happen to have a photo handy on my iPhone. It was too long ago, to remember the price of the Traynor. It took me a couple of days to suss out what was malfunctioning. I still haven't been able to find an official schematic.

This is why Fractal Audio is a flipping godsend. All these amps and pedals - and with literally constant improvement to firmware. Not to mention hours of having to insert new bits into a pedal board. By the way, if anyone wants patch cables, just holler. That alone would reduce my gravity footprint.

@skydog im about 10 months into keeping an eye out for a reasonable dr103 locally, havent seen many. Love what I have in the fractal and a couple space heaters are fun too.
 
Are you saying you used to be able to change the logo color? If there is a bug to report please simply report the bug. Cryptic posts are a waste of everyone's time.
To be perfectly clear; there seems to be a bug in the display settings. I use to be able to change the color of the AXE-FXIII logo. That control is now missing!

No Probs here, with my Axe FX III MarkII - FW 31p03 ;)

And Now… will I finally be able to become a Fractal Audio beta tester?...(joke of course ;)
