It contains a vast virtual inventory of hundreds of vintage and + modern guitar amps, speaker cabinets, guitar stompbox and studio effects, and + more. +details: |- + The Axe-Fx II XL+ is the last revision of Fractal Audio Systems' Axe-Fx II generation, an all-in-one preamp and effects processor holding hundreds of vintage and modern guitar amp, speaker cabinet, stompbox and studio effect models. It recreates the sound and feel of tube amps and can tone match the sound of a live amp or a recording, and it is built for stage and studio use with heavy-duty construction and a high-quality, low-noise design. + + Two Analog Devices TigerSHARC DSPs drive the unit, one dedicated to amp modeling and the other to effects and the rest of the processing. Preamp and power amp sections are modeled separately, down to tubes, transformers, choke and filter caps, across more than 180 amp models that range from industry standards to boutique designs. Everything can be controlled from the front panel through knobs, buttons and a large backlit LCD display, with a large VALUE knob for most edits and four smaller QUICK CONTROL knobs for extra parameters including scenes. Each of the 768 presets holds 8 scenes, every one a different combination of effect on and off states and amp X/Y channel selections. + + Speaker simulation uses UltraRes technology, with over 150 factory cabinet models and room for 512 User Cab locations, plus built-in tools to capture the sound of any speaker. Factory cabs draw on Fractal's own Cab-Packs as well as selections by artists, engineers and third-party IR designers such as RedWirez and OwnHammer. Tone Matching clones another amp, rig or recording into a single preset or into a User Cab for use across the unit, and the separate Cab-Lab application for Mac and Windows mixes custom IR blends. + + As a multi-effects processor it covers more than 29 drive pedal models, dozens of delays, 19 reverb types, a customizable wah and Whammy, fixed and intelligent harmony, shimmer and crystals, phaser and Uni-Vibe, flanger and chorus, panner and tremolo, rotary speaker, 7 filter types, graphic and parametric EQ, pedal, studio and optical compressors, a limiter and gate, a front-end noise gate, a mono guitar synth, a looper, a true tape echo and a vocoder. Routing is fully modular, and real-time control comes from LFOs, envelopes, a sequencer, extensive MIDI support and two onboard pedal jacks. + + On the I/O side, balanced XLR outputs sit alongside 1/4 inch unbalanced outputs carrying Humbuster ground-loop reduction, the rear analog inputs are balanced for cleaner runs over distance, and extra analog processing keeps the noise floor lower still on Output 2, which is meant for the front of an amplifier. The front panel adds the Secret Sauce III instrument input and a high-quality headphone jack. Over USB the unit becomes a 2x4 audio interface with 1x1 high-speed MIDI, so the processed outputs and a dry re-amping track can be recorded at once and Axe-Edit needs no separate MIDI interface. Against the earlier Axe-Fx II models the XL line adds EtherCON and FASLINK connectors for the MFC-101, a dedicated MIDI THRU jack, two pedal jacks, an optical main encoder, crash-resistant Super-FLASH preset storage with built-in recovery firmware, and backward compatibility with Mark I and Mark II presets. The XL+ then adds a brighter, sharper display and an even lower noise floor. +specs: |- + - Two Analog Devices TigerSHARC DSPs, one dedicated to amp modeling and one to effects and other processing + -

The current Mark II revision adds an IPS display with improved contrast and viewing angles, adjustable RGB LEDs behind the front panel logo, double the preset memory for a total of 1024 presets, increased flash memory for future updates, and an optional Turbo DSP module that raises the clock speed by 25 percent. + + Four separate processors drive the unit. Two floating-point Keystone DSPs form the main audio engine, running at 2 x 1.0 GHz as standard or 2 x 1.25 GHz with the Turbo module, fed by 4 Gb of PC1600 DDR3 memory, hundreds of Mb of flash memory and a proprietary FPGA. A dedicated graphics processor drives the animated 800 x 480 color display, and a 500 MHz 16-core microcontroller handles USB traffic and user interface tasks. Five push-encoders and a main encoder sit below the display, with an LED meter bridge reporting input and output status. + + Two instrument inputs are fitted, one on the front panel with Auto-Z input impedance modeling and one on the rear, switching automatically when a plug is inserted. Six further analog inputs cover one pair of balanced XLR and 1/4 inch combo jacks plus two pairs of balanced 1/4 inch inputs. Four fully independent stereo output pairs follow, with Output 1 on both XLR and 1/4 inch jacks, Output 2 on a second set of XLR jacks, and Outputs 3 and 4 on Humbuster 1/4 inch jacks for unity gain uses such as the four cable method. + + Digital audio runs over AES and SPDIF inputs and outputs, clocked internally or from either digital input. Two expression pedal inputs handle real-time control, and a FASLINK II jack carries phantom power and bidirectional communication with the FC-6 and FC-12 foot controllers over a standard XLR microphone cable. MIDI In, Out and a dedicated Thru let the unit act as the hub of a MIDI rig, and 8 in by 8 out USB audio connects it to a computer, with no driver needed on macOS 10.7.4 or newer. + + Amp modeling uses the Cygnus algorithms, with preamp and power amp sections modeled independently, four channels per Amp block and a parametric pre-EQ. The Cabinet block offers over 2200 factory UltraRes impulse responses alongside DynaCab simulations, a four-channel IR mixer derived from Cab-Lab, 2048 User Cab memories and a tone capture utility. Effects span 39 block types on a grid of six rows by 14 columns, including a Plex block with up to eight delay lines, a Pitch block for whammy, harmony and detune, a Real-Time Analyzer and a stereo looper with over five minutes of recording time. +specs: |- + -

Front-panel controls cover output level and voicing, and the unit carries a speaker thru jack alongside both active and passive DI outputs, for live and studio use alike. + + Load emulation uses Fractal Audio's proprietary Dynamic Impedance Technology, which changes the load according to the power level of the connected amplifier rather than presenting a fixed resistance. A speaker cabinet's reactive impedance curve is part of how an amplifier sounds, and tracking that curve is what makes the amp interact with the LB-2 as it would with a real cabinet. + + Speaker tone is deliberately left alone. Guitar speakers are limited in bandwidth compared with full-range speakers, typically in the region of 75 Hz to 5 kHz, and the LB-2 does not reproduce that colouration. The signal leaving its DI outputs is instead meant to be re-cabbed with the speaker simulations in an Axe-Fx, AX8 or Cab-Lab, or with third-party impulse responses, so the entry point stays current as cabinet simulation technology changes. + + A Voicing Switch selects between load behaviours drawn from iconic UK and US speaker loads, changing how the connected amplifier responds. Speaker Thru lets the LB-2 run with or without a cabinet attached, covering silent recording as well as a silent DI feed taken while a speaker plays at full volume. With no speaker connected, the load box safely loads the amplifier as though a cabinet were in place. + + The LB-2 also works as a partial attenuator. Feeding one 4 ohm amplifier output into an 8 ohm speaker and the other 4 ohm output into the Amp In jack puts two 8 ohm loads in parallel, which the amplifier sees as a 4 ohm load, sending half its power to the speaker and half into the load box for a 6 dB volume reduction.

An impulse response, or IR, is described as a sonic capture, essentially the fingerprint of a tone over time. Fractal Audio is known for amp modeling but was also the first to allow installable impulse responses in a guitar product, which set a new industry standard and let guitarists recreate the sound of their favorite mic'd speaker cabs in a portable format, for both studio recording and live performance. + + The download carries both a standalone application and a plugin. The standalone uses an Axe-Fx III, FM9, FM3 or another audio interface so mics can be selected, positioned and mixed while listening in real time. The plugin version processes audio in a compatible DAW or host and can be used to re-cab raw amp recordings. Features include a 4-channel IR mixer plus tools to EQ, align and more, and Cab-Lab 4 can export IRs for a Fractal Audio hardware product or save files to the computer. + + DynaCab is the technology behind the mic placement. Where artists, producers and engineers have long positioned and mixed mics on guitar speaker cabs by hand, DynaCab replicates that process by letting the result be heard in real time while a virtual mic is moved on a virtual speaker, so a tone can be found without sifting through many individual IRs. The DynaCab system in Cab-Lab 4 offers more resolution and flexibility than the Fractal Audio hardware products, with 360 degrees of placement at variable distances and the possibility of additional microphone choices. + + DynaCab Packs work like plugins for Cab-Lab 4. Each pack contains a 3D set of speaker IR captures made with multiple microphones, for example a vintage 4x12, a modern 2x12 or a boutique 1x12, and with a pack installed the full array of tones that speaker and its available microphones can produce becomes accessible. Packs bought from the Fractal Audio store appear automatically in the Cab Pack Manager once a store username and password, or an email address and order number, are entered, and each purchase may be authorized on up to two computers. + + Cab-Lab 4 is fully compatible with every Cab-Pack ever sold in the Fractal Audio store and with third-party IRs in Fractal Audio or .wav format.

It expands the lineup with a focused collection of 19 amp models, matched DynaCab HD speaker cabs and dozens of effects, and the series is designed to grow over time with each release centred on a distinct family of amps, cabs and effects. + + The amp lineup covers the 5153 100W in Green, Blue and Red, the 5153 100W Stealth in Green, Blue and Red, the 5153 50W Blue, FAS Stealth Blue, PVH 6160 Block in Clean, Crunch and Lead, PVH 6160+ in Clean, Crunch and Lead, FAS 6160, Plexi 100W in Jumped, Bright and Normal, and FAS Brown. Fractal Audio's modeling technology creates fully adjustable amp models with authentic, interactive controls that behave like the originals, and detailed component-level modeling recreates the preamp, tone stack, cathode follower, power supply, power amp, phase inverter and amp/speaker interaction, so the amp responds naturally across its full range from clean dynamics to saturated high gain. + + Pasadena includes a collection of DynaCab HD speaker cabs chosen for hard rock, metal and heavy modern tones. The virtual mic moves across the speaker with the results audible in real time, and the HD captures offer higher spatial density for smoother, more accurate mic positioning. User Cab mode loads the player's own impulse responses in popular file formats up to 8k, across two slots that can be mixed, blended and time-aligned, and the Cab block also carries a stereo room simulator, a virtual mic preamp, and master high-cut and low-cut filters. + + The premium effects are based on the same algorithms used in the flagship Axe-Fx, with streamlined blocks for building complete tones from drive pedals, compression, EQ, modulation, delay, reverb, pitch and wah. Highlights include Tape Delay, Chamber Reverb, Dual Detune for wide stereo width, and signature vintage effects for classic Brown Sound-inspired tones. The preset browser uses tags and search to filter by tone, character and genre or to search by preset name or author, and Pasadena ships with over 120 ready-to-play presets based on those from Fractal Audio hardware plus community submissions. + + Amp modeling plugins often rely on arbitrary input levels, which can lead to inaccurate gain and response, so ICONS includes a built-in calibration system that makes the models respond to the guitar the way the original amps were designed to. No calibration is required when using the USB audio interface built into any Fractal Audio hardware product, where the default input settings are already correct.
