As I read it, the "improvements" to the Triode Saturation Modeling were encompassed in the Preamp Hardness control .... All that was necessary was a correction to the default setting .... All of the "secret sauce" ..., just like Prego Spaghetti Sauce ..., is STILL in there !
Tonight I spent two hours with the Plexi 100 jump. This amp has balls. I like balls.

Same here lolThat's how I read it too.
Well youve definitely made me hungrySpecial sauce. Hmmm. Very unmistakably - - special... and yet HARD to quantify or assess. There's a lot of spices going into a special sauce...
What the hell!! What am I thinking for! EAT EAT EAT! (EAT CLIFF, EAT)
Maybe I'll go Italian tonight. I wonder what amp modeling wizardry might come from meatballs.
Blacky Lawless doesYou don't use a chainsaw to slice cheese.
these guys crack me up going back and forth about what the software updates entailed.... lmao
It was a simple question for Cliff, to ascertain if I should bother updating to 1.05 as I really didn't like what 1.03 did to the sound of one of my favourite amps, but I DID like the changes to it in 1.04.
There was a bit of confusion as to the nature of what 1.05 actually is, so I thought I'd ask a simple question which I thought could be answered easily and without causing a fuss.

Cliff stated (not quoted)1.05 is "basicly" the same as 1.03 also with 1.05, to set preamp hardness to 6.0 to "exactly" achieve 1.04 . So I think we can rest on the fact the preamp changes in 1.04 are there ! 1.05 is the same as 1.04 with bug fixes and an accurate preamp hardness setting of 9.2. But really does it matter? 1.05 sounds the best ever!!
I've gone between 1.04 and 1.05 a couple of times now, adjusting preamp hardness... Fas Modern just feels different in 1.04. It is effortless to play and feels like it has more responsive gain. The midrange sit further back as a result of the dynamic differences.
I'll check out the next firmware when its released, but 1.04 just does something I like more.
I notice I get a hair more gain/compression with1.04 than with 1.05 and the preamp hardness set to 6.Set Preamp Hardness to 6.0 and 1.05 will be identical to 1.04.

I'll try again but I've already gone between 1.04 and 1.05 twice.
