Fractal Fanatic
Played for a few hours on some different amps... some amps exhibit a "spitty" sounding high end that I do not care for. last one i stopped on was the recto 1 orange. some sound better some sound worse, marshalls and variants seem better. YMMV.
What is causing that spitty sound (best i can describe it, kind of harsh, not smooth at all) and what gets rid of it? has to be something new.

7.00
Improved phase inverter modeling in Amp block. This provides thicker power amp distortion. New algorithm also includes bias shifting which results in more harmonic spectrum variation with input amplitude. This improves feel, “knock” and creates sweeter single note soloing. The new “PI Bias Shift” parameter controls the amount of phase inverter bias shift. Note that some real amps are “spitty” in nature due to PI bias shifting, i.e. Trainwrecks, and the new algorithm is designed to replicate that behavior accurately. If you find the behavior undesirable reduce the PI Bias Shift value as desired although this will reduce authenticity.
