Wow the dynamic distortion on bass is amazing. Im just messing with the low shelf and soft clipping, getting some nice chewy tube goodness!
Did you reset the amp block on that patch? The reason I ask is because I reset the amp blocks on my main patch that uses an Archon and Atomica in parallel, and afterwards it sounded bassy and muffled until I realized the built in drive pedal that I had on for both models got turned off by the reset. Turned those back on and all was good….best tone yet.I also have the FC bug. Is anyone else getting noticeably more bass frequencies? My main sound with a Friedman HBE on the left and Diezel on the right has a lot more low end. It just means I need to adjust my PEQ blocks.
The sound surprised me when I started playing. It's a quite noticeable difference in sound than previously. Wish I would've done a before/after recording but the changes are usual subtle. I very much liked the old sound, so I'm getting used to the new one. Like I said, I still need to tweak the EQ to my liking. Overall, things sound more authentic and less produced to me.
I did not reset the amp block and the speaker drive started at 0 (where I had it at before) and that had the biggest change to me. It sounded better when I brought it up to 2, although the difference was subtle. I'll have to look to see if some other amp parameters changed somehow.Did you reset the amp block on that patch?

Parametric EQ only does clean boost/cut of frequencies while Dynamic Distortion distorts them.Sorry for my ignorance but what is the difference between the dynamic distortion and parametric eq? Thanks
Ok so has no sense use one with the other..Parametric EQ only does clean boost/cut of frequencies while Dynamic Distortion distorts them.
Use them as it sounds good to you. They serve different purposes.Ok so has no sense use one with the other..
As I understand it, Parametric/Graphic EQ (in general!) should be used for tone shaping, but Dynamic Distortion should be used for shaping the frequencies at which distortion occurs. For example, I'd use a PEQ like Dimebag to slam the front of the amp with mid-band signal and use another after the amp to scoop the tone. Or Petrucci uses a GEQ after the tonestack in the Mark V to shape the tone after pre-amp. You probably wouldn't use Dynamic Distortion for that, I don't think.Ok so has no sense use one with the other..
Yes of course.. I was traying to discover these different purposes..Use them as it sounds good to you. They serve different purposes.
Dynamic Distortion is basically a saturator that is frequency dependant. Therefore, it will add harmonics to the signal based on curve and drive settings.Yes of course.. I was traying to discover these different purposes..
Funny what we hear (probably not funny to you)...I would have sworn things were a little different, but went in and recorded the same things in 1908 and 20 and no doubt...identical.There were no changes to the modeling aside from the Speaker Drive. If you had Speaker Drive at 0 then the sound would be identical.
I doubt it. You can easily set the speaker drive to the default setting of 2 yourself using the batch setter in Axe Edit.Will you be releasing updated presets for v.20? With the new default SD setting?
They can add other things, like maybe a sample setlist to show off that feature. I just expected it based on the new version number. Not sure how often they muck with the presets (perhaps only for new amp models).I doubt it.

They just released new factory presets in March so probably not for a while. There's no set schedule for revised factory presets.They can add other things, like maybe a sample setlist to show off that feature. I just expected it based on the new version number.

That’s not necessarily true for every modeler. Updates to the presets occur when a firmware change significantly impacts the factory presets causing a need for them to be “refreshed”, or at least reviewed.Pretty sure @Admin M@ has said that new presets are currently in the works, and has been
an ongoing process for a few months now.
