Alright… Which one of you fuckers bought the Axe III Mk II on Reverb for 1875?

LOL!

 

[unix-guy]

Yes

I'm at 40% cpu with that stuff on my fm9 turbo (with one of the heaviest drive models plus input gate and gapless turned on)... on an fm3 turbo the reverb would add up quite a bit to that but I think there's enough headroom to run it at the highest quality.

Yep because the Reverb on FM9 is "free".

Anybody here’s has problems with the virtual capo on fw10 ?

Man the wooble is insane

There’s a thread in the fractal forum with some people complaining about the some in latests FM9 firmwares.

 

[la szum]

people complaining

No way!!

Update is very cool. The Lightspeed has been on my very short list of drive pedals I always wanted to try out but haven't yet. I was kind of thinking Lightspeed and Nobels ODR-1 would cover pretty much all the boost and OD you'd want with a good amp.

My favorite though is the new Dyna Cab interface which I missed on the last update I guess. I'm never using more than two cabs so having more options and a much cleaner layout is better. I hadn't really seen the smoothing option before in a very long time so adding that seems to be nice.

What does smoothing do? I’ve never noticed that.

Axe FX III MK II question. Was there Non-Turbo versions or are Mk II all Turbo?

Turbo is a separate option. Not all Mkii are turbo. It would probably be rare to find a turbo as it's a decent price increase and imo not needed

How about older Mk I vs Mk II?

Yea there are non turbo Mk II.

All MK-I are non-turbo.

I think turbo option was Mkii specific?

Shit! I had that on watch lol

@LCW I asked a couple pages back cuz I’m on the hunt as well, and the only difference between the Mk1 and Mk2 non-turbo is a better IPS screen, you can change the color of the logo, you can have more presets and more IR capacity and full-res IR support. Im going for one of those Mk1s on Reverb this weekend hopefully lol

What’s a fair price difference for a Mk I vs Mk II?

D

Smoothing (aka De-phase) lessens the peaks and valleys of the IR curve. It increases the cab in the room experience, and removes the “phasiness” some users are sensible to.

All MK-I are non-turbo.

Personally I’m glad I waited on the Super-Turbo MKII.

It has 16x over-sampling to reduce aliasing from any nearby neighbors using a Camper.

You jest, but oversampling is actually quite important and one of the reasons why the Axe-FX sounds so good.

What’s a fair price difference for a Mk I vs Mk II?

From recent sales on Reverb, the Mk1 can sell around 14-1600 for fair prices I think, and the Mk2 seems to be 1900-2100. It’s really like $500 for not an upgrade - but if I see a Mk2 at a steal I’ll likely grab it.
