Thread starter voes Start date Sep 16, I just had too much time this sunday afternoon, so I compared my virtual board with a real one this is my virtual board: this is an equivalent of the real one guess what.
I admit a lot of money. And it's important to mention that all firmware upgrade are FREE!!! Channels can also be switch via MIDI for applications requiring automation. Channels provide quick, easy parameter switching without the unwanted side-effects of preset changes due to grid reordering. Then change channels instantly at the touch of a button.
Eight Scenes within each preset store the bypass state and channel for each block. Program each scene to be a different combination of channels and change the channel and state of multiple blocks rapidly at the touch of a button.
Like channels, scenes can be switched via MIDI for automation applications. By using channels and scenes a single preset can be used for an entire song, an entire set or even the entire show.
No tap dancing required. As always, the preamp and power amp sections are independently modeled in painstaking detail. Bonkers, and more. The Axe-Fx III is an incredibly versatile multi-FX processor able to reproduce the sound of a huge array of industry-leading stomp boxes and studio effects. Or push into new territory with the ability to design effect sounds never heard before. Most effects can be dialed in with a single knob to make all required settings, or tweaked at the deepest level.
Each preset can contain, for example, four Drive blocks each with four channels , four Delay blocks again each with four channels , and so on. Not content with just repackaging our algorithms, almost all our industry-leading effects have been updated to take advantage of the increased processing power. Our award-winning reverb algorithm has been updated and improved to provide even thicker, smoother reverbs. A new Pitch block with improved pitch detection provides whammy, double-tracking, harmony, detune and more with astounding tracking and fidelity.
A new Real-Time Analyzer block provides detailed visual feedback of the audio spectrum. A stereo Looper provides over five minutes of recording time at full resolution with overdub and undo capabilities.
And much, much more…. The routing grid has been expanded to six rows and 14 columns to take advantage of the increased power and effects inventory. Put up to six effects in parallel. Create four separate and independent effects chains. Learn more. You probably just got used to it. And the thrill of having the axe fx went away and you realized there is a difference in the digital pre amps and the tube pre amps dynamically.
But the digital one's still work better for me. Now, if I had a guitar tech and could lug around multiple amps the digital pre amp might not be better for me. But for most people who want a lot of stuff in one box they are the way to go.
The kemper is the only one that gets close I'm prepared to say that every solution has compromises. But the KPA has been a solution for me and so far not a compromise 3 I hook my KPA up to FRFR and play in headphones, but I also have a SS power amp and 2 guitar cabinets that I play through and they have that feel people crave in an amp wall shaking, chest thumping, etc IF you only need a few amps, buy the amps.
If you love effects and can dial in sounds well, the FXII is awesome. But if you want to cop specific amp tones and setups, the KPA does it in seconds if you know how to record amps. That last part is key. I also have a Kemper, Avid 11, and Guitar Rig. Given the choice I would always take the real amp. That being said, the 11 gets the most use from me.
The thing with the modelers is a lot of them sound good, but I have yet to have one that makes me want to sell my amp collection. This sounds crazy, but the Fender Cyber Twin is still my favorite modeling amp that I have. I'm wondering whether you've done any profiling of your amps with your Kemper.
Also what monitoring you're using. Interesting, so you prefer the 11 to the Kemper. Is it because the 11r is just so damn useful, or do you actually prefer the sound? There is nothing like the smell of tubes in the morning You gotta stay with this for a few minutes For those of you who are younger than me, Apocalypse Now, a really great movie about Vietnam. Michael wagener does just that with the Kemper.
Except for the distance mic. The Kemper doesn't take distance mics into the profile. For the effect of a distant mic you will have to add a touch of room reverb.
The thing that really intrigues me about the Kemper is profiling an entire rig, as opposed to just an amp, and building a library of personalized rigs This is what excites me about the Kemper I was on the fence about the Kemper, but now I'm thinking about picking one up and seeing for myself what it can do. With the Kemper, I can just profile a bunch of different setups at home and bring one head to the studio. I don't think it is a substitute for anyone or very many permanently.
It seems that most go back at some point. Or just use both. Sometimes though I think that you just think you sound better on someone else's gear, even if you dial it in just because it is different. That happens to me on occasion playing someone else's stuff. Also if you spent 6 hours on that patch, I don't think it would sound as close as you think it is. Shask":2ygudyg3 said:. Click to expand I always preferred them through a tube power amp and cab though I could never stop tweaking.
Spent way more time fiddling with it than playing. PBGas":mvllovrb said:. Question, how bad is the delay between preset changes? I will be starting out with a standard midi controller. So I will be switching presets instead of scenes. Iva also heard 1 second, which would not be ok with me. I would like to be able to switch between a clean fender style clean to blazing Splawn tone without an extreme drop out.
My main goal for this is playing live. Any input would be great. I've had my Axe-Fx II since and have really enjoyed it. I don't gig but have done a ton of recordings with it, jamming, etc. I have been using the Friedman on my recordings with my Keeley pedals. When I was using my Axe-Fx all the time, I was using the "Friedman" presets anyway so has felt the same to me.
I've had my Axe II since and really loved it until I started playing with the current band I'm in. Now I use the landry through a 2X12 cab with the FX8 in 4cm and we are getting a great 2 guitar sound. I may get a III down the road, we'll see. I was also another guy that really only ever used 3 0r 4 amp models. I went through a recording "stage a few years ago and for that I think it's unbeatable, but I'm over that now.
Almost every song we cover was recorded using Marshalls so
