Wow
 
parasitics for days! this one is surreal. they got all the modules separated on their own power supplies more now so they break up according to their own time constant personality instead of locked to the master clock. u know the spongy woof sound palm mute intro to 311 beautiful disaster...it do that now, without the high end going bye bye

Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

Well, I can run the editor with fw25/connect -- but that doesn't mean the editor is 100% compatible yet. So beware and let's all hear from Fractal Audio directly before you try to do anything with the last editor and new fw25.0. It may be that it is okay - but I never assume! The only thing...

  • Guitar: KDC "Barncaster" Tele, Cavalier Nocaster Holy Grail Lion bridge pickup
  • Amp: Plexi 100W Jumped
  • Cab: 4x12 1960TV Dyna-Cab, Condenser mic
  • Reverb: Medium Room, 20% mix
I recorded a DI track and then reamped it through the Axe-Fx 3 Mk2 with both firmwares. For fw 25.00 I used the "Reset amp blocks" feature in the Axe-Edit preset manager. The gains, EQ etc remain the same.

If I phase reverse one of the tracks there's some audible differences, but just listening to the tracks I'd say fw 25 is a bit smoother and marginally less loud. I bumped the volume of the fw 25.00 track by +1 dB to match the fw 24.05 track peaks.

When actually playing the amp model, I felt that it was smoother. To me the differences between the Plexis seem more stark now.

I'd say you definitely need to re-adjust your Amp blocks when fw 25 releases.

It’s not a huge difference on that specific clip just on first quick listen , I think I hear the attack of the pick a bit more and the crunchy bits have a little bit more grit to them
But it still early going I remember Cygnus had like 9 or 10 betas before release and I suspect based on feed back CX3 will get modified as well

Yep that one is pretty drastic
Definitely has more cut and clarity , which is intresting as some are report a darker tone with less clarity on the high gain stuff , that said maybe they did not do a reset like this clip that was posted
