This version fixes the "scratchy noise" bug in FulRes IRs.

Here are two FullRes IRs that you can import (thanks to ValhallIR for these):

To import the IRs do the following:
1. Open FractalBot.
2. Select Utility as the device.
3. Select Axe-Fx III MIDI Out as the output port (might just be Axe-Fx III).
4. Set MIDI Buffer Delay to 10ms (optional but if you don't it's going to take a LONG time).
5. Choose one of the above files to send (drag-and-drop onto FractalBot after saving to your PC).
6. Go to the Cabinet 1 block and set the third IR slot bank to User 3 (FR) or Scratchpad.
7. Set the third IR slot number to the desired IR number to import to.
8. Send the file to the Axe-Fx.
9. Repeat for the other file and choose a different IR number.

If you choose, say, IR numbers 1 and 2 you will now have a stereo pair of IRs in those slots. Pan the left one left and the right one right. Experiment with different levels to increase/decrease the amount of room.

You can go to the Align page in the Cab block and zoom out to the see the response of the room IRs.

A new version of Axe-Edit is forthcoming which will support FullRes IR management. If you're impatient you can use the above steps to import the IRs.

We are expecting FullRes content from providers shortly.
 
Ah the scratch is gone. Sounds so good now! Can't wait to get more IRs to try or an updated Cab-Lab to make some of my own.

The new beta 4 still has a major volume drop when I unmute the FullRes IRs. Oh well.

Are you sure this isn't psycho-acoustic? The V2 IRs posted add a ton of ambience and the tone drops way back in the soundstage, but if I watch the block output meter, it doesn't really change at all when unmuting the FullRes cabs. Is the cab block output visibly dropping on the block meter at the top corner when you unmute them?

Yeah, the meter level is dropping too when they are unmuted.
