PARAMETER
Description
Output # EQ Type
OFF/GRAPHIC/PARAMETRIC
Four different parameters allow you to change the type of the four global
equalizers at each of the outputs (1,2,3, & 4).
Power Amp Modeling
ON/OFF
This parameter globally enables or disables power amp simulation in all Amp
blocks in all presets when the Axe-Fx III is used with a guitar-oriented/tube
power amp that contributes significantly to tone and dynamics. Having these
characteristics applied twice to the sound—once in the virtual power amp
and once in the real power amp—would result in an over-processed sound.
All parameters that are NOT part of the virtual power amp continue to work
normally while Power Amp Modeling is turned off. Presence and Depth are
disabled, and Master Volume becomes a simple volume control.
Cabinet Modeling
ON/OFF
This parameter conveniently enables or disables Cab block processing in all
presets. The Cab block will not physically appear to be bypassed, but acts
exactly as if it had been replaced a shunt. Use this when you are using the Axe-
Fx III with an amp powering a traditional guitar speaker cabinet, or the sound
will be muffled, muddy, and boomy.
Tone Control Display
AUTHENTIC/IDEAL
This parameter governs the "Tone" page of the amp block. When set to
Authentic (default) only those controls present on the actual amp are displayed.
When set to Ideal all tone controls are displayed. Also, when set to Authentic,
the Bass, Mid and Treble controls are reset to default values when changing
models to ensure accuracy for models that may not have these controls.
Update Pre-11.x Presets Spkr
Imp Upon Load
YES, NO
This causes older presets to automatically update the Speaker Impedance
Curve parameter to an appropriate value when loaded. NOTE: Setting this to
YES will also cause the EDITED LED to light indicating the preset has been
modified but not saved. See the
"The Fractal Audio Blocks Guide"
for more on
Speaker Impedance Curve parameter in the Amp block.
Speaker Impedance Curve
Determines how the Speaker Impedance curve is selected when changing Type
(Amp Model) in the Amp Block. When set to "DEFAULT ", the usual matching
impedance curve for the new Type is used. When any other value is set here,
this type will be pre-selected whenever the Amp Type is changed.
