Axe-FX (A Love Story?) Rd.1

Can I suggest also picking up a stomp?
Haha, I currently own one. And I also just ordered an Amperium Live, so… my wife…

My initial 45 minute play through can’t really drive too many opinions, but….

This may sound stupid but the first thing I like is the tuner. I was using the Neural plugs this morning and depending on which plugin the tuner is optimized for a crack head. Looks likes someone taking a polygraph, so you kind of guess. The FM3 tuner is super stable. Good start. lol

I’m using the editor because the device UI looks… interesting. Questions:
  • Channels. The blocks all seem to have A-D, I’m assuming I can save custom settings for each block under those channels?
    • Looks like the cab blocks has four channels too, if so that’s badass to have four different settings of different cabs.
  • I’ve heard people say “authentic tab” before, but I don’t see it. Is that the “Tone” tab? That seems to be the most basic tab per block, “Ideal” looks like where the fun begins with 37 knobs. :ROFLMAO:
  • Can I use the new Cab Lab 4 thing with the Turtle edition?
Tonally way too early, but the dual verb/twin preset is super nice. Chorus tones on it are fantastic. Plexi preset very good. Dove into the dual rec preset because of JT. Very good, very recto, fat booty and all. lol. Found the way to change power amp tubes, sweet love of God that’s badass to be able to change. Swapped to el34’s on the recto. Was fire.

Everything sounds pretty crisp. 👍

Rd. 1 suggests we already know preemptively that we are going to be doing this a few times (buy sell, rinse, repeat)
or you just stepped into the ring with the FM3 and will be knocked out any minute now. :idk

Congrats! Lots to love in that box. It may be my favourite piece of gear ever. Just the combination of value, compactness,
and what is contained within it from a tonal standpoint makes it hard to fathom how great it is. :beer

If it was the same size as the Stomp; we wouldn't be entertaining this TMP business :bag
