I just realized why that answer should be obvious to me

I never think of both my FM9 and AxeFX as units to share presets across because I only use the FM9 with real cabs or in 4CM with an amp. There's entirely differnet presets on both units for different purposes. The closest it gets lately is recreating the effects chains in the FM9 that I come up with on the AxeFX but since it's doing the 4CM thing right now it doesn't even make sense to make them sharable between units.

Well that a routing thing no ? Maybe can be configured to work on the FM 9

I wouldn't think it'd need anything any different, it's a pretty basic signal chain.

Worst case scenario, here's the drive, amp and cab block, you could always create the preset yourself. It's just using his GoT blocks, you can use the screenshot I sent ya to copy the signal chain.

Edit- @Stone, I just realized it's using 2 pitch blocks, I'm not sure how it'll load up in that case.

@Stone if you’re having issues importing the preset, you can also open presets in FracTool and note the settings.

Thank you! And your link is a bolt on for the AxeFxIII? If so, this is awesome!

Yes, it's an easy swap.

Replaced Stock Fan In My Early Axe-Fx III - Results Are Very Impressive

I moved my Axe-FX III out of a rack case and put it on my desk. Never noticed the fan noise until I did this. I read some of the early Axe-FX III's may have had the screws a little too tight and the good results with people replacing their stock fans with the Noctua NF-A8 ULN fan so I gave it a...

With my 1987x I see and hear the same thing as with my JCM800, with Presence at 10 there is a about 6dB difference in treble compared to the models, so it's not my amps.
The difference in treble response came down to the impedance curve of the Suhr RL.

Here are the settings that match the Suhr RL.

The followup is thusly, I request a few slots of custom impedance curves so I can save and recall them quickly or use as a global impedance curve.

PS.
The models are spot on, I freaking love my Fractal.

Updated preset- ttps://axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?preset=11672

This is using the DynaCabs instead of the Orange IR and I had to use the BB Pre because I could not make either DS-1 work, which I think is a testament to Cliff's recent drive update being pretty legit because it did the same thing I hate about the non MIJ DS-1's, added that weird plasticy distortion on top of everything. I didn't want to get into the deeper EQ to root it out, but the BB did the trick.

I wonder if this puppy will run on a FM3T…

Using the Speaker-Through jack on the Fractal Load Box into a Friedman 4x12 at 16ohm, the response is somewhere in between the Suhr RL at 8ohm and the Fractal model with the Brit AX impedance curve.

Output response from the amp and models:

@FractalAudio Tagging you to say the models are very accurate, it was all about the impedance curve difference.

Here are the settings that match the Suhr RL.

Isn't there an IC of the Suhr load already?

The followup is thusly, I request a few slots of custom impedance curves so I can save and recall them quickly or use as a global impedance curve.

That's an old wish of mine

I just installed the Noctua fan. Even without the included Ultra Low Noise adapter my Axe-Fx is now almost inaudible. I can wholeheartedly recommend this simple and inexpensive modification!

Hahaha a couple years ago over on Jemsite someone asked if the AxeFX does the Legacy well and as usual, someone had to chime in and talk about esoteric bullshit about tubes and how it can’t. I figured by posting this it would put any speculation to bed-


But no, esoteric tube guy, after claiming how modeling can’t pick up on intricacies of tone and homogenization and blah blah blah, says that it only sounds like a Legacy in that clip because of my fingers. While I’m always on the “tone is in the fingers” side, I draw the line at fingers being able to recreate specific amps, never mind the whole fact that if a modeler is that efficient it can detect differences in my fingers to change a tone, there can’t be a whole lot of homogenization going on!

You're such a goddamn GOOD player!

Knowing that my 6505 and Fractals 6160 model also sound and measure identical (preamp+power amp), I'm left to wonder why the power Amp of my real JCM800 is brighter by 6-7dB than the power amp of the Fractal 2203 model with the preamps being almost identical.

I just realized that you are using a Suhr RL. The difference in response is likely due to the high-frequency response of the load. I found a graph of the Suhr RL's impedance curve and it has an exaggerated response in the high end.

A real speaker is "semi-inductive" but the RL looks purely inductive. Our LB-2 uses multiple inductors and resistors in a cascade configuration to achieve a reasonable semi-inductive response. My guess is the RL is simply using one inductor.

Drew is the Man
There are many Great players here on TGF thats for sure, so along with the funniest best peeps there is also a lot of amazing talent here @TGF

 

[FractalAudio]

The difference between here and TOP is that the peeps here can actually play. A TOP they flap their gums a lot and make outrageous claims but can't back any of it up with their playing.

But jokes aside we do have a good crew here
