VERY good for slight breakup of clean tones as well as gainier stuff. Reminds me of a vocal preamp.Just curious since I haven't yet loaded this FW and I haven't really ever used motor drive: is this effect apparent for clean and edge of breakup tones, or only distorted tones?
So, Cliff inspired me to revise my Another brick in the wall Pt II preset...
Those optical compressor rules !
That depends n how hard your signal is hitting the cab block....will this new motor drive change my sound? Is it something a high gainer would need to use or change? Thanks
I really like the new Optical compressors. One complaint I have about compressors is that you either get too much compression or not enough. One thing I really like about my Strymon OB.1 compressor is that it does that "barely there" thing really well, where it adds just the right about of sweetening without being overpowering. Playing with the Optical 1 compressor gets really close to that.

That's one of the coolest things I've ever heard done with the AXEFX. Amazing
Thank you very much!Mark I/II:

Improved Motor Drive algorithm in Cabinet block. New algorithm more accurately models the compression of guitar loudspeakers by factoring in the reactive aspects of the compression.
A gain monitor has been added to the Mix page in the GUI menu to assist in adjusting the amount of compression. Note that typical guitar speakers have around 3-6 dB of compression when driven hard with American speakers being on the low end of that range and British speakers being on the high end. Some speakers can exhibit even more compression than this with compression amounts of 8 dB or more depending upon the magnetic materials used and the construction of the speaker motor.
