FRACTAL AXE USERS - porady, pomysły, presety.

[Przychlast]

Ultrę łatwo zapchać . Wystarczy trochę zabawy przestrzenią na 2 ampach.
Just sain'.

[Mat]

Generalnie do "zwykłego" grania w domu i na koncertach, Standard wydaje mi się rozsądniejszym rozwiązaniem.

Czemu?

najwazniejsza roznica std x ultra to mozliwosc w ultrze umieszczenia bramki gdzie sie zechce. w std jest ona zawsze na poczatku lancuchu.
mi to nie przeszkadza skoro nie gram juz dżętu ;_;

Mi tez wiecej niz jedna, nie potrzeba. Ba, bardzo rzadko dwa dileje na raz mi potrzebne, z reguly po jednym tylko efekcie wrzucam.

W sensie przełączanie presetów, tak midi.

W sensie siedze w domu przed kompem i klikam na ekranie komputera, zeby sobie parametry pozmieniac. To tez MIDI? Bo domyslam sie, ze jest taka opcja, prawda? Nawet w starym POD Pro tak mozna bylo (nie mial tez USB).

Przez MIDI. Nie wiele mogę zarzucić Fractalowi, ale brak USB i  wyjścia słuchawkowego jest mocno uciążliwy.

Axe II ma USB i wszystko odbywa się w Axe Edit. Ma też wyjście słuchawkowe.

Czyli trzeba kompa odpalac, zeby pograc. No ale to akurat do przelkniecia chyba by bylo. Gorzej z miejscem na biurku, czy tez z noszeniem tego.

Pytanie bylo o Axe FX Standard.

[Stivo2005]

@Mat Dlatego, że mało kto na scenie używa tylu efektów by "zapchać" Standarda, no chyba, że zaliczysz się do tych osób, to bierz Ultre.

[Mat]

@Stivo2005 nie, ja to tam standardowo, wzmak, jakis delay, troche modulacyjnych, whammy, wah i to tyle. Czasem bramka i kompresor. Nic wiecej. POD HD500 ani jeden raz nie udalo mi sie go zapchac, a podobno z tym tez ludzie mieli problemy.

Ktos ma Std na sprzedaz i przyjmie gite w rozliczeniu?

[Przychlast]

Ja mam ultrę i wezmę PODa w rozliczeniu .

[Mat]

Ech, ja juz swojego PODa nie mam. A czemu z AFX na PODa zmieniasz?

[Przychlast]

Bo nie potrzebuję Fractala, nie wykorzystuję jego możliwości. A lubię mieć lampkie, POD ma fajny looper pod nogo, jest mocno plug&play (IMO), etc.

Added “Preamp Tube Type” parameter to Amp block. “Modern” (default) selects a triode characteristic representative of modern production tubes. “Vintage” selects a characteristic typical of tubes produced in the 50’s and 60’s. “Long Plate” replicates the softer saturation characteristic of so-called “Long Plate” triodes.

Fixed drive network high-pass filter in Amp block not being reset properly when switching between certain models.

Fixed wrong Crunch default value and associated constants in Angle Severe amp models

Fixed Pedal Compressor types not compensating for compression amount thereby requiring manual level compensation.

Cab Pack 10: U.N.S. Volume 2 - UltraRes

Cab Pack 10: Universal Noise Storage Vol. 2 UltraRes™ Collection contains 214 User Cab IRs by Fractal Audio Systems and Tom Eaton of Universal Noise Storage Studio.
It includes sixteen speakers, each captured with multiple individual microphones placed on carefully selected sweet
spots. In response to customer requests, we’ve also included IRs of the back of open-back cabs. These IRs are
compatible with every Axe-Fx II version, and for use with Cab-Lab 3.
Cab Pack 10 was captured using the new “MIC + DI” method, which completely factors out the influence of the power
amp used during capture. The resulting IRs therefore more accurately recreate the sound of the actual speaker. (Even a
solid state amplifier has a finite output impedance [non-infinite damping factor] which can result in several dB of
deviation from flat response due to the extremely reactive load a guitar cab presents.)

Here's what's included in Cab Pack 10:

SPEAKER CABINETS

• 1x10 Prince Tone (Based on a Fender™ Black Face Princeton™)
• 1x10 Prince Tone SF (Based on a Fender™ Silver Face Princeton™)
• 1x12 Ampjet (Based on an Ampeg™Jet)
• 1x12 Deluxe Verb (Based on a Fender™ Black Face Deluxe Reverb™)
• 1x12 G12T (Based on a one of a kind custom combo built by a famous amp guru)
• 1x12 Jr Blues (Based on a Fender™ Blues Jr.™)
• 1x12 Nuclear Tone (Based on a Swart™ Atomic Space Tone™)
• 1x12 PV C30 (Based on a Peavey™ Classic 30™)
• 1x12 Vibrato Lux (Based on a Fender™ Brown Face Vibrolux™)
• 2x10 Lexical (Based on a Lexicon™ SB210 Studio)
• 2x12 Fuzzbomb (Based on an Earcandy™ Buzzbomb™ loaded with Jensen “Green Machines”)
• 2x12 Leggy (Based on a Carvin™ Vai Legacy™ closed back)
• 2x12 Matchbox (Based on a Matchless™ DC30)
• 2x12 TX Star (Based on a Mesa™ Lonestar™)
• 4x10 Bassguy (Based on a Fender™ Bassman™)
• 4x12 Fractal (Based on Mark Day’s custom 4x12 loaded with Greenbacks and V30s.)

“GB” indicates the Greenback captures, V30 indicates the “V30” speakers.

MICROPHONES (not every mic was used on every cab)

We used multiple individual microphones on each speaker cab, starting in a classic position near the edge of the dust cap and then finding various sweet spots. Variations in this pack are indicated simply with letters – A, B, C, etc., except for “BACK” (the other side of the cab) and “REV” (the other side of the mic).

• Shure™ SM57
• Royer™ R121 (“121 Rev” indicates the back of this mic)
• Two different Beyerdynamic M160s
• Audio-Technica™ AT4047
• Sennheiser™ e906

18.06

There are now only two Preamp Tube Type options in the Amp block: Short Plate and Long Plate. The Vintage type has been removed. Short Plate is similar to the previous Modern model but has the improved saturation characteristics that were developed for the Long Plate model.

Improved power tube grid conduction modeling. This yields better dynamics and edge-of-breakup tones, particularly when the virtual power amp is being overdriven.

Added Tap Tempo mode option to Global menu. “Average” averages up to the last ten taps. “Last Two” uses only the most recent two taps to determine the tempo.

Added Ducking capability to Quad Tape Delay mode in Multidelay block.

Added “LFO Bypass Reset” parameter to Flanger and Phaser blocks. When set to other than “Off” the LFO will be reset to the selected phase whenever the block is bypassed. This allows synchronizing the sweep to the engagement of the effect.

Added “Rich Hall” type to Reverb block.

“G3’d” the following amp models: TX Star Lead, TX Star Clean, Div/13 CJ.

Added “Div/13 CJ Boost” amp model which models the Volume knob pulled out (boost switch).

Removed Update Amps All Presets utility because the majority of users don’t seem to grasp the purpose of this function.

Fixed Presence network not being updated correctly when switching between certain amp models.

Fixed slight midrange dip in Vintage tone stack type.

Fixed excessive phase inverter bias in some amp models resulting in fuzzy sound.

Fixed certain Drive block models not sounding correct if Tuner Mute is set to other than Off.

18.08 will be the best of both worlds. There are four triode models in 18.08:
•   Short Plate: an accurate model of a modern “short plate” production 12AX7.
•   Long Plate: an accurate model of a classic “long plate” 12AX7.
•   Modern: An idealized 12AX7 model. This is the same model from version 18.04 firmware. This model is useful for high gain tones that can benefit from the increased clarity and string separation.
•   Vintage: Another idealized 12AX7 model also from version 18.04 firmware. Has a softer breakup than the Modern model. Useful for “vintage” tones where more base nonlinearity is present

“G3’d” the Herbie, Citrus RV50, Badger 30 and USA IIC+ amp models.

Added two new USA IIC+ models. There are now four models for this amp:
• USA IIC+: Pull Bright off, Pull Deep off.
• USA IIC+ Bright: Pull Bright on, Pull Deep off.
• USA IIC+ Deep: Pull Bright off, Pull Deep on.
• USA IIC+ Brt/Dp: Pull Bright on, Pull Deep on.

Note that the Pull Bright on the amp’s Volume knob is equivalent to the model’s Bright Switch under the Treble control and the Pull Shift on the amp’s Treble knob is equivalent to the model’s Fat switch under the Mid control.

There are now four Preamp Tube Types:
• Short Plate: an accurate model of a modern “short plate” production
12AX7.

Man, jest to tak proste, że aż dupsko mnie zabolało, że straciłem na to tyle czasu. Otóż, sprawa jest banalna, podłączamy preamp od mikrofonu do "Input 1 / Mono" z tyłu Axe, przełączasz w I/O na Input -> na Rear. I teraz najważniesze, w Axe Edit przerywasz łańcuch. I finito, działa.

Release notes :

19.00
Improved detector performance in Multiband Compressor.

Improved detector performance in Compressor block Dynamics mode.

Improved many of the Drive models by applying “G3” techniques. Note that this may cause significant changes to the behavior of some models. Of particular note is that the taper of the Drive and Level controls has changed in many of the models and may differ substantially from previous firmware. Models that have been fully converted to G3 models are indicated in the name.

Added a new Clip Type to the Drive block. The “Variable” type allows the user to adjust the shape of the clipping using the new “Clip Shape” parameter. Low values of Clip Shape give a smooth, focused tone while high values give a harder, brasher sound.
Improved Amp block power tube plate current calculation. This results in increased clarity, improved feel/attack and better edge of breakup distortion texture. The default Power Tube Bias values have been updated to reflect this change and existing presets will be updated automatically to the new values.

Improved Amp block Bias Trem behavior.

Changed all references to “CK” in the Cab block to “ML”.

The Output Compressor in the Amp block now features two modes of operation: Output and Feedback. These modes are set using the new Comp Type parameter. “Output” is the previous type where the compressor acts on the output of the block. “Feedback” also compresses the block output but applies dynamics to the input of the block based on the output compression. The “Comp Clarity” parameter adjusts the bass response of the input dynamics and can be used to add clarity to the bass.

Fixed “Thordendal” amp models referencing wrong default tone stack.
