Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 4.00 Beta

[NeoSound]

First impression with my favorite patch. Clarity, better feel, strings are more balanced. Just a touch less gain but easy to add back.

Wow! Thanks Cliff! The Skull Crusher is killer!

Just a few more hours before @2112 wakes up.

I'd be surprised if his bedside alarm isn't set to "New Firmware Release"

Thanks for your (seemingly) tireless efforts, Cliff!

We shan’t ignore the modestly stated “Improved Amp Block preamp tube modeling”.....my quick run thru some of my fave amps sounds
Better than ever..most noticeably the Dumble ODS Clean.....this is a BIG update.

Ok it’s not just me then. I noticed A little less gain too.

Yup,to my ears, but of course I am as we all are...subject to opinion and possible aural placebo effect...but I choose to believe ......

I figured it may change tone a bit as it
Was going to major revision 4.0

bass seems tighter and punchier

AWESOME !
I just loaded the Skull Crusher with the free ML Over-sized Mesa Cabinet. Without any tweaking it is awesome !

 

[funknoodles]

Just wanted to ask Cliff what the Skull Crusher model is based on (if any). Also, any laymen's notes on the amp improvement? @FractalAudio

 

[200man]

dowloaded and installed fine!

 

[Jason Scott]

Thanks for the update!

One thing I've noticed is if I'm editing a parameter in the Dynamics tab and switch to the Cab (or any other block) and then back to the Amp block, it doesn't revert to the Dynamics tab. In fact, there are no visible settings:

Prolly a tweak that Michael P will get to shortly......

A bug I've noticed:

Add the FAS Skull Crusher to the Amp block, and go to the Dynamics tab. Click on any other block on the grid and then switch back to the Amp, the view doesn't revert to the Dynamics tab. Rather, there are no visible settings:

Axe Edit is never updated until the full release comes out.

Axe Edit is never updated until the full release comes out.

Right, not sure why I expected it to function perfectly without an update.

 

[Todd McMullen]

They're cranking these updates out faster than Yngwie Malmsteen can sweep pick. Keep up the great work FAS!

holy crap!!

Just think about all of this being in the works while we were discussing "authentic" vs "ideal" controls and what the word "advanced" really, really meant. Cliff must have been rolling on the floor laughing the whole time

...and I'm stuck at work for another 10-12 hours...

 

[Justmc]

Mike Perkins must be like it's Sunday.. I just updated Axe Edit ... This is not what I signed up for

Unbelievable - thanks, absolutely did not see this coming!

Thank you
