Yeah, before this release, every time I strummed a chord, I always said to myself Cliff should really look into PI grid clipping algorithm, did not sound right to me
Awesome ! Can I use the " Negative Feedback Control " on my E-bay account ? .....lol......
So, Cliff, what kind of sonic differences are expected with the PI grid clipping change? I assume it’ll mostly apply when pushing the amps really hard.
Funny….but…Years ago I built a plexi 1959 clone that sounded like EVH, so I thought I’d just copy the preamp and send it into my VHT rackmount power amp. That way I could make two preamps, one for clean and one for dirty. I copied the preamp exactly, but it didn’t sound right at all when I put it into the VHT input. I learnt that day how much PI distortion was part of the legendary Marshall tone, because I wasn’t driving the next stage/PI like I was in the 1959. Similar experience trying to get SRV tone from a Vibroverb clone. I believe it’s one of the most ignored or misunderstood pieces of knowledge in tube amp cloning, right behind the power supply.
Totally agree. In all the years I've owned AXE FX units, (6 units total), I never question any update, even if I'm going to have to tweak my personal presets. They are always an improvement.
