I’ve got about 6 months of solid non-stop gigs starting in a few weeks

Well that part's awesome!

I haven't really checked out the Factory Presets featuring the Engls. It was
my new best friend, Jim Lill, from Vanden Plas who got me checking out
the Engls a while back, and I am totally smitten and fascinated.

Paired with the Recto Straight 4x12 Dyna Cab and I am transported to my
happy place in an instant.

Yea, I think the only thing that the FM3 is missing here is the ability to sum/multiply/etc. two controllers on a single parameter.

Also not on the FM9

Man I'm still so blown away by this thing! (Axe III)

I was listening to some old Chicago, in particular Terry Kath, so I rolled back to the old Fender amp factory presets to mess around with 25 or 6 to 4, played with that old tone for a while, then started working my way back up, and landed on the Angle Severe one. And it just sounds SO GOOD.

Been running thru my Petrucci stuff on Sc 2, "Channel 2", w/o changing a thing! Best $2261 I ever spent!! I've now owned it 4 years, and it has been PLAYED A LOT, with not a single issue! (Other than me needing to get used to how a mic'd cab sounds, as opposed to a real amp sitting next to me. Which is NOT a dig on Fractal.)

Same here there aint nothing i cant do on my Fractal

 

[Rock Chalk]

The Rockman thread made me curious about those tones in the III....did a search of the factory presets and came up with #231.

If you're wanting to get your Boston on it ain't too bad!

It truly is a remarkable device. I would love to see useful AI added to it’s tremendous capability. Being able to create a player/personality profile by getting to “know” me, my style and technique. The ability to feed it songs and then build an entire matching rig on the fly by analyzing it. Further adapting it, if desired, to match my playing as well. Just a few use cases. Being able to build backing tracks based on what I play would be nice. I don’t think these kind of advancements are that far off.

They've been working on that, but the beta testers have had issues with their units registering themselves on various gear forums and trolling people.

My unit decided that I wasn't a good enough player and stopped outputting audio until I practice more.

If that’s a thing I’m screwed

Sounds like a Dumble to me

That’s one of the Ken Fischer (Trainwreck ) designs. All of the Fischer inspired amp models are worth checking out.

Experimenting a little with external pedals, and decided to Bukovac it up a bit.

These Anniversary edition ODR-1’s are where it’s at!

Someone posted a schematic over at Fractal for the Axe III. Figured one of you geeks might want it.

Thanks! Now I can finally build an Axe-Fx with the UI I want!

Does anyone know if the magic smoke they sell in the Netherlands is any good for this?

Search "Pot Partakers" thread here.

Edit: Oh, you said 'Netherlands.'

Holy Pump Up the Mids Batman.

Probably traumatizing for some to see that GE-7 set up
like that.

There's "poking" out in a Mix and then there's table dancing
on the Mix.

Hey, what works works right?

I was using it to boost more drive out of the ODR and that was where my ears were telling me it was working.

Axe-Fx III Firmware 27.04 Public Beta

Not so sure I can grok 27.04 — I’m still basking in the glow of having both the current release FW and the corresponding Factory Presets using the exact same number. Somehow it just seems… right.

Links not showing up properly. Three posts. Link above will bring you to the first one.

From Cliff....

"28.00 is in private beta so shouldn't be much longer."
"Compressor block has been overhauled."
"Dyna-Comp algorithm is all-new."

If ya haven't played a guitar with a 1"-1" neck yet, I'd suggest giving it a shot before tapering it. I got my AllParts neck (same size) with the intent to shave it down, but after playing it for an hour I was in love with it and it's definitely changed my perspective on the whole neck thing. Every neck I go for in the future will be of similar size.
