The Drive block is being "G3'd" for the next firmware release.

I hope this update will include a sort of MIMIC too. It would be great to have the basic controls that behave like the ones on the real pedal, plus the advanced parameters to fine tune.
I think that this is the reason why it's now difficult to make the drive block sound similar to the relative stompboxes

Yesssss

And a G3 Whammy/Drop pitch ? When ?

Cool. I like the AxeFX's drives, but I've got a couple of OD pedals I love to use over any drive block the AxeFX comes with. I'm glad to see the drive blocks getting an upgrade.

+100. Need it to play u2 with my band

This is the icing on the cake:encouragement:

Let's enjoy the fact that the drives are being perfected. That's what this thread is about.
There's a Wishlist section for other stuff. ;-)

Great news!

But what about ME and MY NEEDS?

So let the countdown begin until we start to see the whining threads about "oh my god, the new FWXX with updated drive blocks totally changed my tone.... Fractal you *&(&)#'s, Now I need to spend 2 weeks dialing in ALL my tones that used a drive block again, thanks for nothing"

=)

Thanks Cliff and FAS team !

 

[trb]

that's a very pleasing news. Love that evolving AFX, for the best !

 

[rsf1977_again]

it's nice to see drives getting love. I dont rely on them a ton, but I do use them in front of high gainers, they always seem to glue the tone together even when dialed in at about 20%

I don't know if Thank You's get very far these days but Steve Vai said it best in his first artist quote "The axe-fx is like christmas every day." A great huge box of tools and toys to make playing guitar that much better. Thanks for updating the drives!

I also think the drives getting G3's is awesome however maybe I am in the minority here but I have no issues with the current iteration.

Yes, there's a wish list for other stuff, but it is also true that a better Whammy/Drop pitch was required hundreds of times.
But don't worry, I can wait, nothing problem...For now I'm enjoying my Whammy 5. When will there be a new Fractal Whammy, it will be welcome.

 

[laughyouraxeoff]

Yeah I have always felt the Drive Blocks are not on par with the amp blocks so this is wonderful news

 

[Hellbat]

Got Klon?

:lol (I personally don't care, I'm just kind of surprised the superfans haven't seen this thread yet.)

I thought G3 was the tube modeling algorithms. I didn't realize it could be used for drives as well, other than the tube drives obviously. I can't wait till the poltergeist pig preset is fully G3, end to end.

I'm super excited about this! I wish I could send in my Nobels ODR1, Timmy, and Rockett Archer to be added to the list! Then I could sell them and go full on Fractal.
