[GreatGreen]

How loud are the fans in the Axe-Fx III compared to the II?

Can i use a FC 6 & a FC 12 together ?

Can i use a FC 6 & a FC 12 together ?

you can daisy chain up to 4 FC devices according to Cliff.

How loud are the fans in the Axe-Fx III compared to the II?

Cliff said that it was quieter.

 

[Satch4u3]

Is it optimized for 4CM? It would be awesome if it had a bypass option of the Pre and/or post, like the FX8.

Cliff said that it was quieter.

Goodness.

Some IR news were just announced.

Used in what capacity?

Wireless switching is one obvious application.

Picture the sound of a hair dryer and vacuum cleaner both running at once........

......... it won't be anything like that

Wireless switching is one obvious application.

Way too much latency in Bluetooth for that.

Are global blocks still present? If so, How many and can they be named?
How is oversampling handled with 1 AMP block vs 2 AMP blocks?

Would it be possible to assign input 1 to all 4 outputs so you could run in let's say, quadraphonic?

Yup!

Actually you just need 2 (stereo) outputs to run quad, you can potentially go octaphonic

The III is a brand-new platform. Just as the II had dozens of firmware update the III will receive many updates and there's so much power there that we can improve everything over time.

It could create some interesting possibilities to make the III a platform the same way a smartphone is a platform. Provide software tools to enable block development, so users could one day buy third-party drives, reverbs, etc. just like they buy third-party IRs today.

I hope this was'nt already a question, if so I'm sorry I didnt spot it...

Will some of all these new features and meters make it easier to adjust the preset levels across each other? I'm absolutely on the waiting list for one in Europe It looks awesome...

Is the speaker size knob still present in the cab block?

It does have humbuster inputs and outputs so I'm going to assume that this will work very well in 4-cable method. Whether it has the same optimization of the circuit that the FX8 has is a good question.

 

[Guitarboy]

is the screen mat or glossy? On misha’s instagram it looks likes it’s glossy.. and the « AXE FX III » blue led is dimmer on the last « I ».... is that just a prototype issue?

What about fan noises?

 

[nicolasrivera]

Some size comparisons.
