Thanks!

FW28.08 is out for the Axe Fx. New Supro Black Magick model, which is cool. I’ve been intrigued by that amp since seeing Euge’s demo (feels like forever ago).

Thanks for the heads up

What about FM9?

What about FM9?

Soon.

 

[TubeStack]

I wonder if I can do similar with my Mark V tbh!! Axe3 doesn't really bother me once it is in the rack case.

Was just wondering the same about my Mark VII. The fan is pretty loud when using it at home (and doesn’t have an off switch.. another Gibson cutback, eh @la szum? )

 

[LCW]

Soon.

OK Neural

OK Neural

Pffft. "Soon" was a fractal forum meme before Neural was even founded.

Just a few samples:

Just out of curiosity… what has been fixed on the 5150 presence taper?

This was already implemented a few FWs ago. What I'm really curious about is what it was about the "authentic" taper that needed fixing to make it authenticererer.

Did the same thing back in 2018! Welcome to the Noctua Axe club.
BTW, I also dampened the top cover as mine would resonate even with the fan at lowered speed.

Yeah when I had the Axe-Fx 3 I would do the same. A bit of electrical tape was all that was needed to dampen the cover.

I still hate that you can't really angle the box or the fan will get noisy, even a Noctua.

For those who are really good at and comfortable with editing on the Fractal hardware, are there any good videos or writeups on how to do it that helped you get there?

I flat suck at it and avoid it. But if I think back to helix when I first got it, it wasn’t really that intuitive either (or I’m just not that bright). There were a couple of quick start videos that showed you how to navigate and use it well, and once someone showed you those things you were off to the races. Wondering if there might be something like this for the fractal devices that I’ve missed.

I know it’s not gonna be helix level speed and ease of use, just looking for the basics of how to do it as best as it can be done.

Same for any other amp company though if we’re being honest. Slash doesn’t use Marshall any more does he? How many has Satriani gone through?

Uhmmm.... I did not know that.

Uhmmm.... I did not know that.

This was released 2 days ago-



His last rig rundown for his solo tour was all Magnatone (2024).

Start with this one:

 

[Jarick]

Start with this one:

Yeah that's the one that got me comfortable with using the front panel. Really good.

 

[JiveTurkey]

Just use the front panel. It is "fine". Footswitch configuration on device continues to be an absolute abomination comparatively but you live with it.

 

[mikah912]

Yeah that's the one that got me comfortable with using the front panel. Really good.

I will fully admit that even with that, I STILL don't use the FM9 hardware for anything except navigating presets and spamming the Edit button until I get to a block I wanna tweak.

I'm still not comfortable enough to create presets or scenes from scratch, nor can I add blocks to existing patches.
