Well, the day is finally upon us. Thanks Fractal Audio, and thanks to all the beeeeta testers who are braver than I.
Backed up, updated everything, loaded in the presets, all is easy peasy. I focused on my presets first and so far only two needed any tweaking to my ears (A USA lead and a 6160 block based preset, both high gain). Those two are now sounding glorious indeed however.
I think what I've been seeing you guys say about the feel is the biggest difference on this update. It all sounds better, in a subtle way, yes. But more than that I feel like I'm getting more response out of different amounts of pick attack, which direction I bend a note, where on the neck I go for a harmonic. It is all very dynamic, and feels real!
I definitely need to play around some more and explore the new factory presets, but so far I am very impressed. 100% worth the price of entry and the wait. Thanks again to everyone that helped make this happen.
