[Nightmarishreaper]

Ja mam 42% w tym momencie, ale będę to korygował jeszcze do nowego wiosła.

[lordgreg33]

U mnie 9.8%

A z jaką gitą i pupami jeśli mogę spytać?

[Stivo2005]

W sumie ustawiałem pod mojego PRS CE24 (1995 czyli jeszcze pre, korpus 1 kawałek mahoniu, gryf klon, podstrunica palisander) pipaki BKP Painkiller, ale gra to też z moim CU22 z Painkiller'ami, jak i z Fender Telecaster MiM z SD QuaterPound oraz z Chibsonem, który często zmienia pipaki. Generalnie, gada mi to.

Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 1.03 Firmware Release

http://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/axe-fx-ii-quantum-rev-1-03-firmware-release.106931/

Release notes :

Spoiler

1.03

Improved triode grid conduction model. This improves edge-of-breakup tones as it keeps the distortion on the edge of breakup more and improves high-gain tones as it tightens up the bass. Also improves feel and dynamic response.

Improved cathode follower model. This improves harmonic accuracy yielding less “glare”, more detailed treble (more “chime”) and more bite. The previous cathode follower model can be selected from the Global menu by choosing a Modeling Version other than 1.03.

Added “PVH 6160 II Rhy” amp model based on Channel 1 of a Peavey 6505+ with the Crunch and Bright switches depressed.

Fixed Dizzy and Herbie models tone stack topology. This doesn’t result in a significant change in response unless the tone controls are set to extremes (i.e. bass to zero).

Fixed wrong default Preamp Bias value in CA3+ Lead amp model.

Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 1.04 Firmware Release

http://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/axe-fx-ii-quantum-rev-1-04-firmware-release.107105/

Release notes :

Spoiler

1.04

Added “Solo 88 Clean” amp model based on the clean channel of a Soldano X-88. All channels are now represented.

Added “PVH 6160+ Rhy” amp model based on Channel 1 of a Peavey 6505+ with the Crunch switch depressed and Bright switch out. The existing PVH 6160 II Rhy model has been renamed “PVH 6160+ Rhy B”. Likewise the existing PVH 6160 II Ld model has been renamed “PVH 6160+ Ld”.

Improved triode saturation modeling based on new measurements. The new modeling results in more accurate saturation behavior which, in turn, results in smoother overall distortion characteristics and more accurate harmonic content. Due to the new algorithm the default Preamp Hardness value is now 6.0. Existing presets are automatically updated upon recall.

Fixed thumping when switching between certain amp models.

Fixed Mixer block parameters not being recalled probably from Global Blocks.

Fixed wrong cathode cap value in CA3+ Clean amp model.

Panowie mam pytanie. Aktualnie w sklepie online Fractal Audio Systems można kupić sterownik MFC - 101 w promocyjnej ofercie z darmowym szipem i niższą ceną. Mam GAS na MFC - 101 ale do tej pory studziła go cena. Czy ktoś z Was sprowadzał sprzęt z USA i ma doświadczenie jeśli chodzi o cło i VAT ? Obawiam się, że to co ewentualnie oszczędziłbym na promocji będę musiał oddać Urzędowi Celnemu.

[g-zs]

jest na forum o ściąganiu sprzętu. To czy Ci naliczą cło i Vat to trochę loteria. Ale jeśli tak to weź cenę z przesyłką, dodaj cło i do całości dodaj VAT.

[Lechu_]

Moim zdaniem trochę szkoda kasy. Są polskie sterowniki midi , ktorymi zrobisz dokładnie to samo za 1/3 ceny. A cło i vat przy takich kwotach masz praktycznie jak w banku.

[lordgreg33]

Dzięki za info.

Improved screen grid modeling accuracy.

Added “Class-A 30W Brt” amp model based on the Bright channel of a non-Top Boost Vox AC30.

Added Scene indicator to Output and FX Loop GUI. The ‘A’ Quick Control knob can be used to select the desired scene while in the menu. This facilitates setting output levels in each scene.

Fixed wrong cathode follower default values in Class-A 15W TB, Class-A 30W TB, Hot Kitty and Matchbox D-30 amp models. Existing presets will be automatically updated with the new default values.*

*The range of the CF Ratio parameter has been expanded and all existing presets will have the parameter reset to default values. If you have changed the CF Ratio value in your presets you will need to re-enter the value.

jest to trochę rozpraszające, bo zamiast grać - kręcisz gałkami.

Axe-Fx II "Quantum" 2.00 Public Beta Deux

http://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/axe-fx-ii-quantum-2-00-public-beta-deux.109702/

Release notes :

Spoiler

*******************************************************************************


2.00


Improved tube modeling. New algorithms uses more accurate plate current formulas based on actual measurements rather than theoretical values. This results in smoother, thicker distortion and better dynamic response.


Improved power supply modeling. New algorithms improve sag and feel. For convenience the virtual power supply (B+) can now be monitored on the PWR DYN tab of the amp block. When the Supply Sag control is selected the gain reduction meter will display the supply voltage in dB relative to the idle voltage.


Improved cathode bias algorithm for “Class-A” amp models (i.e. Class-A 30W, AC-20 Dlx, etc). In conjunction with this the Cathode Squish parameter has been repurposed as “Cathode Bias” and controls the value of a virtual cathode resistor. A value of 50% is “optimum” and biases the power tubes at true Class A operation (neglecting any bias shifting due to supply sag, screen droop, etc.). Values greater than 50% increase the resistance and therefore bias the power tubes “colder”. Values less than 50% bias the tubes beyond Class A. In a real amp this would probably destroy the tubes but that limitation does not exist in our virtual amp. Most real amps of this type actually operate far below Class A and the default values for the models will reflect this. Note that the Power Tube Bias value should be set to 1.00 for these amp types (since that parameter controls the grid voltage and the grid voltage is at a maximum in these types of amps). Existing presets will be automatically updated with new default Cathode Bias and Power Tube Bias values.


Improved Phaser block CPU usage.


Improved Plexi “Jump” models to account for interaction between Drive controls.


Renamed Plexi 50W High amp model to “Plexi 50W Hi 1” (see below).


Added “Plexi Hi 2” amp model which is similar to Plexi 50W Hi 1 except the second triode stage has a 0.68uF cathode bypass capacitor. The second bypass capacitor was added in the early 70’s and gives a slightly brighter tone.


Added “Plexi 100W 1970” based on a 1970 Marshall 1959SLP 100. This particular amp has a darker, smoother sound than earlier Plexis.


Added “Ruby Rocket” amp model based on a Paul Ruby Rocket with the Bright switch in the down position. The existing model has been renamed “Ruby Rocket Brt” to reflect the state of the Bright switch being in the up position.


Added “AC-20 12AX7 B” amp model based on an AC-20 Deluxe with the rear switch set to 12AX7 and the Bass/Treble switch set to Bass. The existing models have been renamed AC-20 EF86 B, AC-20 EF86 T, and AC-20 12AX7 T.


Added “Spawn Nitrous 1” amp model based on the OD-1 mode of a Splawn Nitro with KT-88 power tubes.


Fixed Spawn Nitrous model broken by earlier firmware update. If you are using this model in your presets you should reset the model by deselecting and reselecting the amp type. This model has been renamed “Spawn Nitrous 2” to indicate that it is the OD-2 mode (see above).


NOTE: This firmware represents a significant update in the amp modeling and the amp models themselves. Many models have been redone. Although care was taken to ensure as much compatibility with existing presets as possible, your presets may be altered.

Improved Phaser block CPU usage.
Added “Filter Slope” parameter to Cabinet block. This can be used to select between first-order (6 dB/octave) or second-order (12 dB/octave) filters for the Low Cut and High Cut filters.
Improved Plexi “Jump” models to account for interaction between Drive controls. Renamed Plexi 50W High amp model to “Plexi 50W Hi 1” (see below).

Fixed wrong default Negative Feedback value in all “Dizzy” models. Note that the Presence control in these models has more range than the actual amp as the amps have a limiting resistor that the models do not have. Turning the Presence all the way up on the real amps is equivalent to around 7-8 on the models.
Fixed wrong Bass taper in Recto2 amp models. Previous taper was Log30A. Taper is now Log10A. Existing presets should be auditioned as the amount of bass will be less.
NOTE: This firmware represents a significant update in the amp modeling and the amp models themselves. Many models have been redone. Although care was taken to ensure as much compatibility with existing presets as possible, your presets may be altered.

Wczoraj pograłem sobie na Quantum 2.00 na próbie i muszę podzielić się swoimi wrażeniami, uprzedzam, że gram na zestawie Axe FX II + MG SPA 2x50 + Buzzaro ST-B212 na CV30.

Zaczęło się od tego, że w domu po obejrzeniu filmu na którym bóg pokazuje swój nowy JP-2C i gada, że to w sumie IIC+, no i zaczyna grać, a ni-uja brzmi to jak moje symulacje na Sractalu, więc zerżnąłem jego ustawienia zarówno rythm i lead i przed próbą odpaliłem... no kurf... gada! W końcu mi ta symulacja gada, oczywiście błędem było dawanie Bass więcej niż 1/10, no a jak dodałem jeszcze TS'a, to kurwiło tak, że spokojnie siekę można było grać. No, ale potem przełączyłem na preseta MESA Duala Rectifier dwu kanałowego, konkretnie Red / Modern na którym zwykle gram próby...

...no... obsrałem gaciory! Coś tam pisali, że poprawili odpowiedź w dole we wzmakach MESA, ale Panowie, bez jaj, różnica w moim odczuciu jest bardzo znacząca, oczywiście na plus. Wzmak napierdziela takim gruzem, rzuca mięsem, że aż (kolejny raz) musiałem zmienić gacie! Brzmienie jest perfekt, dla mnie bomba, zwyczajnie ideolo. Polecam update do Q2.00

[wojwyk]

Power amp modeling w Global menu masz aktywny czy nie?

[Stivo2005]

Power amp modeling w Global menu masz aktywny czy nie?

Nie, jak gram z power ampem i kolumną, to wyłączam. Inaczej jest przebasowione.

[Ghost_of_Cain]

A co tam masz @Stivo2005 do grania bez końca i kolumny? Jakieś monitory? Jakie? Ile trzeba się napsztrykać, żeby preset dobrze działający na końcówie i gitarowej pace doprowadzić do użyteczności na rozwiązaniu w pełni symulowanym i odwrotnie? Samo wyłączenie/wyłączenie symulacji paczki i power ampa to pewnie początek zabawy, czy się mylę?

[Radek M]

Ja mam pytanie odnośnie impulsów do axe std. Kto udostępni mi, albo da namiar na jakąś zajebistą paczkę?
