Fractal Fanatic
I only recently bookmarked nikki-k's
http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-ii-discussion/60425-pick-attack-issues-2.html
because I found it valuable critique and she may have meant the same as me. [I have not said I was a fan of hers or not]

Just a few days later, I'm seeing the thread seems deleted? :-x
Is that part of the regular forum cleaning and will good info continue to "get lost"...?
Or was this a selective deletion of a weak point in the Axe?
A few days ago, I updated from 7 to 9.02 and after all the talk of improved dynamics, I was shocked to hear it seemed to have grown worse on the "dynamic maximum" side of things... It felt like I was playing a 1st gen modeler [on that aspect alone, like there was no room to play any harder].
However, I only played around an hour and may only have been playing presets with some form of compression. I'll keep my final verdict after Axe Edit is reincarnated.
Previously, Cliff commented that "EMG's compress like crazy."
I have since done the 18v mod to my EMG guitar *and* I played 9.02 with my SG with P90 pickups. However, I could not hear a difference with regard to my critique between these "vastly different"(?) pickups...
Like I mentioned before, I'm not losing sleep over it, but I will always find it weird how many don't know what is being talked about or that the problem doesn't seem to be acknowledged (or denied, deleted?).
I'd be happier with "I know what you mean, but sadly it can't be done..."
Or receive a clue in what could be wrong if others don't feel like that... (I *did* note a bunch of info how to maximize the "dynamic maximum" that I have not yet tried, which is why I'm not on my final verdict yet.)
I just saw this thread on TGP from someone saying "[interested] But, I am concerned with feel, overall tone, dynamics, etc."
It's sad that I can not honestly inform/warn someone like that if this kind of info is magically disappearing here...
It's not that I wanna scare them off, on the contrary. But if someone expresses "feel" is of the utmost importance to him, IMO it's more important than general that he tests well and knows what to test for.
FYI, I'm playing the Axe either with one of the two mentioned pickups and either into 2 "Fratomics" actively, or passively with a Matrix GT 800FX.
Some of these combo's may have more compression than others, maybe I'm picking harder than I realise (unlikely, cos I'm rather the feeble type :mrgreen), ... Again: no final verdict. Many things still to try (but it seems nikki-k already tried everything).
