Thanks Cliff! 5b1 sounds so good I'm almost afraid to load this one.
Fantastic
Thanks for your help in getting us here.Fantastic
agreed!Now I'm actually experiencing it, and this is definitely the best firmware I have ever had in all my years with Fractal!
Band Commander & South Church verb is hitting the spot for me this morning
Years ago I thought it was there but my hearing continues to evolve. Right now I think it's there but in a year I might think differently. There are things I hear and feel now that I couldn't discern years ago. Most people only hear frequency response and that's enough to fool them. That's why those online A/B tests don't mean much. And you can't hear feel.Wow, on 5.0 now! Thank you Cliff for continually striving for great tone. I have a question based on all the great updates. Do you think there will ever be a time when you're 99% happy that there is not a need for any more updates? What % of the way do you think you are from finally saying, "That's it! It's 99.99% the same as the real deal." I did a comparison of an actual amp to the Axe II years ago and most couldn't tell the difference, so I would assume it's close to the point of perfection, no?

I've sat and played one chord for hours on end comparing the amp to the model and it's taught me things that measurements don't show. Every firmware update it gets harder and harder to tell the difference in blind A/B tests but in a month or three or twelve I might be able to again.

@FractalAudio some strange behaviour with the USA Lead model presence control when using two amps blocks. Only seems to happen when running 2 amp blocks and only when the presence is between 0.9 and 1.3 - clip below. Also happens on the USA Clean, C+ and USA Pre models but not on the C++.
