Axe-Fx III - PDF Manual!

[dpeterson]

SOME Roland manuals from the 80s were amazing. I believe I am thinking of the GP100, the SDX-330, etc. In fact, these are some of our inspirations for trying to do a good job. We want people to look back and remember a manual that didn't suck.

I always loved reading mesa boogies literature, and manuals way back when.

Speaking of wiki. It says that USB Adapter Mode is now gone. And I couldn't find anything in the manual about sending and receiving messages to and from a connected computer.

Is it possible at all?

EDIT: Found this in the MIDI/Remote: Bypass page:

CC messages can be sent by a MIDI controller or computer connected to the Axe-Fx III MIDI IN jack, or via the USB connection of the Axe-Fx III.

So it CAN function as a MIDI over USB device. Great.

Cliff had mentioned that he thought that there were 8 scene controllers. Looks like there are currently only 4. Still pretty cool though.

I was so looking forward to reading the section on the new FC controllers to see what was possible....... Blank page for now..

Yeah, it was THE section I was interested in.

I'm thinking FAS teamed up with FAMC to develop the FC-6/12 and FC Section in the III manual #SARCASM

The manual is awesome, guys. Great work on what I think it the most in depth manual we've seen so far. Just makes me more pumped to get mine ordered. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for all you do Yek! One last question... do you sleep?

OMG Yek... that looks like it took some time and effort... and it basically answers my question! You Rock!!!

thanks Yes for posting the IRs. Great stuff as always.

I didn't see any Petrucci IR(s). Maybe I missed it.x

Awesome. Thank you for this! Quick question @yek, I currently use factory cabs F160 4x12 5153 121 G (*) and F161 4x12 5153 4047 G (*). Are those now 344 --- 4x12 5153 121 G --- FAS --- and 362 --- 4x12 5153 4047 G --- FAS --- in the III? Thanks for your time.

Wow, what a list of cabs. Thanks Yek for putting that together.

Thank you!
I saw a null IR as a selection and I wondered in what context this might help a user creating a preset.
Anyone here employ this selection?

in the past, some wanted to use Proximity, Mic Preamp, or other Cab block features, but without an actual change in tone due to an IR. it's usually a specific need.

Did I read correctly that you can only use amps at a time? So if I wanted to make a patch that 4 musicians can play through is that not possible using 4 different amps?

thank you as well!
So I’m reading it could be used as a blank canvas upon which to utilize the cab parameters to create an effect!
hmmmm....

So regarding MIDI, do Channel settings mimic the scene settings in functionality?

In other words, you know how MIDI control in Scenes is basically a single CC with 8 parameter values? Do channels work the same way? Can I assign Amp1’s Channel Changes to like CC#35, values 0-3 ?
