Likely not correct since I will be around for it.I have a ballpark idea.. since Friday I'll leave and I'll be away from home (and axe fx) for 10 days, firmware will be released as soon as I get into my car

Nah, I don't think Cliff will wait for your death..Likely not correct since I will be around for it.
I get that. Got wrapped up in things trying to plow through updates a bunch of times, and looked at the clock wondering "where did two hours go?"It's hard to keep focused as I get distracted playing.
This is really exciting to me. I come from a metal background. But for the last few years I've been way more interested in funk, jazz, and blues. The axe fx in its current state is excellent. Knowing that I'll be even closer to those raw vintage tones is just inspiring.I'm working on it. Every amp model needs to be reentered. Lot of work. So far it is sounding fantastic. It's hard to keep focused as I get distracted playing.
It can be a bit shocking at first. Those "vintagey" amps are quite a bit different in some cases. Spitty, gnarly, nasty, angry sounding. The "polished" sound is gone. The low end is tighter. High gain amps growl and chug with a vocal quality. Medium gain amps purr like a big cat. Low gain amps sound big and chimey.
The whole impetus for this was I was doing some critical listening and I noticed that certain amp models didn't have the same distortion "texture" as the real amp. The amps sounded like rubbing two rocks together while the models sounded more like sandpaper. There was also a vocal quality. The amps went "chug, chug, yowwwwww" while the models went "chit, chit, yeeeeee". That led to a complete rewrite of the preamp algorithms. What I learned from that I applied to improvements in the power amp algorithms.

Geez Cliff, you got us all worked up... On one hand, I want to say please take your time cause that's how we do quality works, on the other hand, I am like firmware Weds please? ;-)I'm working on it.

Very interested to see how this impacts the Hiwatts and bass amps.I'm working on it. Every amp model needs to be reentered. Lot of work. So far it is sounding fantastic. It's hard to keep focused as I get distracted playing.

Do you find that high gain pinch harmonics are more 3d-like compared to previous versions?I'm working on it. Every amp model needs to be reentered. Lot of work. So far it is sounding fantastic. It's hard to keep focused as I get distracted playing.
