SNAMM10: Axe-Fx Updated

US Fractal Audio Systems releases Firmware 10.0 for Axe-Fx Guitar Tone and Effects Processors      19/06/10
Fractal Audio Systems have released Firmware 10.0 which they describe as a substantial update for the Axe-Fx Guitar Tone and Effects Processors. Here's their press release...
The Fractal Audio Axe-Fx already packs the most sought after amp, cab, and effects tones into an incredibly powerful all-in-one solution for the stage or studio guitarist. The company's Standard and Ultra models have become an industry-standard, replacing countless tube amps, pedalboards, and racks full racks of gear for both casual and career players alike.
Now, with the release of the 10.0 firmware, Fractal Audio continues its tradition of providing major new capabilities via free firmware updates. New features in firmware 10.0 include 5 all-new amplifier models, 2 new drive pedal types, key improvements to the existing amp and effect tone capabilities, and more:

• New "Marsha HB" and "Marsha HBE " amp types -- the result of a collaboration with renowned rig builder/amp modder/amp designer Dave Friedman of LA-based Rack Systems LTD., who himself sanctioned and approved the new Axe-Fx models.
• The new "Shiver Clean" and "Shiver Lead" amp types are based on the channels of a well-known west amplifier model with incredible cleans and punchy overdrive.
• The new "1987X MOD" is a great sounding Plexi type reissue with what many consider to be an "essential" tone mod already built in.
• The existing "Euro Ãœber" model has been updated to provide a truly faithful representation of the original.
• New "Face Fuzz" and "Master Fuzz" drive effect types give Axe-Fx owners two of the most sought after fuzz effects of all time.
• The Drive block slew-rate algorithm is now an exact model of real op-amp slew-rate limiting.
• The virtual "Presence" control circuitry now more accurately models the resulting response of the power amp and speaker coil interaction for better "bite" and a more pronounced attack.
• Additional support has been added for the forthcoming Fractal Audio MFC-101 Midi Foot Controller.
• A new version of Axe-Edit, the software editor for the Axe-Fx, has also been released, with full support for firmware 10.0 and additional new features and fixes.

Pricing and Availability:
Firmware 10.0 is available for both Standard and Ultra models and can be downloaded free of charge at the company's web site. More information:
