Gotta wonder if something was discovered when creating the Klone Chiron model that lead to the improvement in the Drive block. Not really looking for an answer, just a coincidence that made me go hmmm.

I’m putting my Axe-FX III up on Reverb for $9,000.

Remember, there can be only one preset, and it has to go input Klone Output. If you are a darling, you map the drive controls to the performance page

I was thinking that too - too much to be a coincidence perhaps. Maybe Cliff had to model the effect of goop on circuitry.

Guys I think maybe the drive block improvement IS the Klone Chiron. Could be wrong.

Anyway test drove it with the Band Commander/Showman IR from RedWirez and at low gain it sounds really, really, really amazing.

Then I cranked it and guess what? Same. Getting emotional, playing.

I may be imagining things and I didn't play any guitar yesterday... but at a first play through I feel the drives sound more transparent, retaining more highs, probably a bit less compressed

 

[discondition]

Thanks a bunch FAS!

 

[Joe.Buerger]

I really like the Klone! Having never played one, I didn't think I'd be as impressed as I am. Great job Fractal Team!!!

 

[FullThrottle]

Man, that Klone sounds nice! Awesome pick on the name Chiron, too.

 

[Moondog Wily]

Looking forward to Kloning! Thanks to the team for the undying devotion to improvement of a stellar product!! The Axe and the supporting team are treasures for the ages!!!

I don't usually post about FW updates, and I was on the last version of 19 before updating to this one, so not sure which of the "20" versions is responsible, but I noticed my go-to presets (slightly tweaked versions of factory ones) sound noticeably even more amazing!

I have one analog pedal that hasn't sold yet, a Rimrock Effects Mythical Overdrive that is supposed to be another Klone clone. I'll see about setting up an A/B test once the Spine Center clears me for lifting anything with any weight to it. I either have a pinched nerve or herniated disc so it's very hard to hold a guitar standing up for more than a minute, and even sitting at the desk for more than 5-7 minutes gets the spasms going. I see them tomorrow morning, and hopefully they'll give me some good painkillers while they review xrays and make plans. It's hard not being able to play, but it only aggravates the situation right now.

Hope you get that worked out for the best!

Yes, while working on the Klon algorithm I discovered a few things.

heard all the stories but never bothered much trying to pursue Klon - have to say though, this Klone model is tasty indeed, in crispy kind of way - into JM45 model set at edge - makes it roar!
