Yea I dont have an XL - it's a mark II
 
Awesome.

Of my two go to amps, Fas Modern sounded a bit fuzzy/flubby with Q1.03 yet the pvh6160II sounded much more controlled and defined.

Fas Modern is back to its usual lean and mean self with Q1.04 and pvh6160II is still benefitting from the recent changes made in 1.03.

Thanks Cliff!

Now if only I could get rid of this nasty ground-hum...
 
Being new to the Axe I have to ask, is it intended that you reload the Ultrares IR's that come packaged with the firmware updates every time you update?
