Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 20.03 Release

[phil92]

just tried the Klone for the first time. I don't know how, but it seems to retain more of the guitar's own tone than other drives. More fiery hot sauce than thick gravy. I get the appeal.

I am really curious what that sheet on the bottom says. Could you please post a picture of that?

This one is ”only” $7800. Personally, a $50 Boss SD-1 and USA custom shop Jackson or ESP sounds like a better choice.

For the non-FAS initiated, the Axe-FX III and a FC-12 is a better choice. It comes with the Easter Cloned-egg, and you still have $4,750 left to spend on a nice guitar, a FRFR setup, oxygen free cables, spare strings and picks.

@FractalAudio I KNOW WHAT YOU DID THIS SUMMER! I bet you modeled the batteries, and we just been upgraded to some primo Duracells…

Cliff, what brand of batteries did you use to model the Klon? Connoisseurs say that they get different flavors

+ variable voltage... LOL

I like how Bill's own recommended settings are as a "Clean Boost." Very, very telling.

Thank you Cliff and team!

I'm pretty sure that's what makes it a "professional" overdrive.

C'mon, get with it man!

It is not just about voltage. Cork sniffers, starting with master sniffer Eric Johnson, claim that batteries of different brands provide a different tone under the same voltage.

Checking the new Klon drive model on a few boutique/blues-rock presets and a DI track. I love this kind of special sauce overdrive, I own a few clones/recreations of the mythical pedal myself - EHX Soul Food, Wampler Tumnus Deluxe, J Rocket Archer Ikon, I also have access to a friend's Ceriatone Centura

you might facepalm hard, but fuzzy faces love Zinc instead of Alkaline

The impedance of the battery is what I've always heard is different and can cause some circuits to sound different - usually the older, discrete transistor circuits is where the big changes happen....

AFAIK the Gladio is not a clone, but a “Dumble in a box”.
