I took it for a quick test run when it first came out, but didn't have anything setup to actually compare it to. Didn't hear anything that sounded way off?Personally, I'd like to hear from the preset masters like @austinbuddy and @Moke and any others that their preset packs are tweaked for this release. I'll take the plunge when they give the "all systems go".
Just upgraded to Ares. Not sure what happened. All presets sound awful. Bass is flubby and farty. Attack is mush. Sound is compressed and unrealistic. Gain is way too hot. Can't get a plexi to sound good, especially with master at 10. Readjusted a few presets after resetting the amp block. Improved, but still not right. ...
I realize this isn't what most people are experiencing, and I know it is on my end. A preset from scratch sounded ok on some models (Boogies, etc.), but not good on others (Plexi, etc.). I'm still looking for whatever it is I did. It sounded like my Ultra on a bad day.
Has anyone found they needed massive readjustment of amp parameters after the update? I'll try again tomorrow.
That's exactly my experience on Ares. I'm still fighting to make it work, mostly because I'm too stubborn to admit defeat and I've never ever had to "go back" to a previous version before... But it's a fight, not an easy and rewarding ride. I'm stumped that some of us have such a big issue with Ares, while most praise it highly (and a few see very little difference)...
Well, this here's Axe II country. Here it will be March 28, 2019 ever more.That's right. But then I switched to Axe FX 3. I never tweaked that much. One moment, you are checking different overdrive models, next moment, daylight and the night disappeared
hi Tony,
really nice chops as usual !
well Ur HBEC45 sound really nice... see in my previous posts, found it anemic => may be have to re DL/install the FW... and rebuild the preset, even if I always rebuilt presets with hard reset on amps(Ctl+I)
have to check today.

Bcraig: I have not seen that behaviour so far. Also not sure I understand what you mean by "when You select lot of different Fractal factory presets"?

AwsomeYep. Just tried loading the Stone Love preset and all is normal.
Should all the presets load up with everthing on?
Ok my bad sorry I have been trying to learn to create my own presets and I have not mess with to many Factory Presets except "Stone Love"
