In comparison to previous models, the amp block has been refined and improved, with features like a new streamlined interface built around the new 5-knob color display system, a new parametric pre-EQ, and four fully independent “Channels” with instant, seamless switching. The power of the Axe-Fx III provides the perfect platform for our state-of-the art Cygnus amp modeling, the most expressive, musical, and accurate we’ve ever created. Extensive MIDI support along with a dedicated MIDI block allows the Axe-Fx III to be the central hub of a MIDI-based setup. MIDI In, Out and a dedicated Thru provide easy integration with other gear in large stage rigs. Our new FASLINK II™ provides phantom power and bidirectional communications with the upcoming FC-6 and FC-12 foot controllers over standard XLR microphone cables. Two expression pedal inputs allow for expressive real-time control of parameters. Clocking options include internal or external via SPDIF/AES input. Digital audio I/O is comprised of AES and SPDIF inputs and outputs. Outputs 3 and 4 are designed for unity gain applications such as “the four cable method” or dual stereo inserts and can also be used as general-purpose outputs. Output 2 features a second set of XLR jacks and outputs 3 and 4 each offer a pair of Humbuster™ 1/4” jacks.

The front input features our Auto-Z technology which simulates the input impedance and subsequent pickup loading of typical stomp boxes.Īn additional six analog inputs are available: one pair of balanced XLR/1/4″ combo-jacks plus two pairs of balanced 1/4″ inputs.Īnalog output capabilities are similarly impressive with four fully independent stereo pairs: Output 1 features both XLR and 1/4” jacks for connection to FOH, monitors or other line level devices. Unplug and you’re back to jumping around on stage with your wireless. Connect your wireless to the rear input and then plug into the front input to tune (using the new tuner display) or make quick adjustments. Remove the plug and the unit switches to the rear input. Inserting a plug into the front input jack automatically switches the unit to front input operation. The Axe-Fx III features two instrument inputs: one on the front and one on the back with auto-switching capability. Vastly expanded input and output resources provide for ultimate flexibility. The standard DSP module runs at 2×1.0 GHz. *2×1.25 GHz is the speed of the optional Turbo DSP module.
The stunning color display is controlled by a dedicated graphics processor while USB traffic and user interface tasks are handled by a 500 MHz, 16-core microcontroller providing smooth operation and robust USB performance. To feed these advanced processors we coupled 4Gb of blazing fast PC1600 DDR3 memory, hundreds of Mb of FLASH memory, a proprietary FPGA and a rich set of peripherals. These processors are the most powerful DSPs available delivering over twice the performance of the DSPs used in our previous generation products. Two 1.25 GHz, floating-point “Keystone” Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) comprise the main audio engine*. Continuing the legacy of this philosophy the Axe-Fx III harnesses the power of no fewer than four separate processors. The Axe-Fx II expanded on this concept by putting two of those same DSPs to work. Leveraging the power of this DSP allowed detail and realism that no other product had previously achieved. The original Axe-Fx upended the industry by being the first device for musicians to put a military/industrial-grade DSP into a consumer product.
