I will check that out!Since you mentioned fenders, a few weeks ago I casually discovered a really great IR on axechange, it's become my favourite one for this kind of tones, you all might want to try it out.
Here it is: https://axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?cab=532
Ah, ok, makes sense!Not really, I was just trying to say that "overtones" produced by intermodulation distortion have nothing to do with overtones naturally present in an instrument signal.
Cliff's conceptual pickup would remove just the former
If you search the wish you'll find many multiband request. I have request a band splitter block, so we can build our own ultrawave. Sort of. A multibad distortion, or some "clipping" in MBC or eq will do. Check the wishes!The forthcoming Source Audio Ultrawave pedal splits the signal into 10 bands, then applies compression and distortion to each band individually to try to reduce intermodulation distortion.
Did you try a different preset? if it's just the one preset it's a bad preset. If it's all presets something else is going on. You can also try backing up your system settings and resetting them.I tried to update to 15.01, from 15.00, last night and when I turned the unit back on there was a constant, fairly loud, HUMMMMMMMMMMMMM. I could hear the guitar over the hum, but it was there constantly. I tried reloading the firmware, this time I downloaded it from the first page on this thread and the hum was still there. It was showing up on the output meters as well. I reloaded 15.00 and it was gone. Anyone else experience this? I emailed support, but have not heard back yet. Going to try again tonight when I get home from work.

This is probably an unpopular post with most Fractal users, but a legitimate point for gigging guitarists.If you want the other benefits of an upgrade you must, which creates this quandary. You want the new DS-1, but don’t want to rebuild twenty live presets.
Something went wrong. Turn it off and back on.Today when I turned on Ax Fx 3 there is no sound at output 1 or at output 4. Only at output 2 and 3. What could have happened?

Obviously, Fractal will never (and shouldn't) stop innovating. But many updates DO force us to change our settings that we've spent hours shaping. It is time consuming for those of us who have other jobs. And the clever retort "just don't update" does not take into account the need guitarists have for other improvements in new firmware, or the effect some changes have on CPU.
I think I know the answer to this, but I wonder how much extra work it would be to separate usability improvements from amp improvements in FW updates? Like a 16.01a for everyone, and a 16.01b for folks who just want whatever the non-amp-related usability improvement of the week is (Virtual Capo, FC improvements, etc.)? Probably too much time and effort required, especially as Fractal continues to roll through updates at a fever pitch.
One can dream.

The only time I've ever encountered a problem after a firmware update, since the AXE FXII, is when I use Fractal Bot to actually download and install the firmware. I've never had an issue if I download the firmware from from the OP's firmware post and then use Fractal Bot to install it. I can't explain why I would have an issue, and there may not be one for others. However, since I discovered it, I always download from the OP's post and install, and, since, never had an issue.I reinstalled the 15.01 firmware and nothing. I reinstalled the 15.00 firmware and nothing, so I did a reset in the system parameters and the sound came back. Curious why this happened since the last time I hung up everything was fine.
Thanks Cliff for support and your beautiful work!
The question is at what point do they do they split? We get 16 A and B, but now what happens for 17? 17 A gets even more amp updates. but what does 17 B get? Is it based on the amp updates of 16 for the people who installed 16A? Or the non-amp version of 16B? Because there will be people that want the 17 amps, the 16 amps, and the 15 amps now. And for version 18 there are now 4 cases. And what happens if there's a bug that only exists in 17 C? Or a bug that was added in 15 B that needs to be fixed in every firmware that's a child of it. Eventually cliff would be spending so much time flowcharting all the different versions of firmware with all the different amp versions that he'd never actually get any work done. Even if you decide that these amp-free versions only go back one version, then you're only delaying your problem by one week.
The reality is that it almost immediately becomes way to cumbersome to try and start managing all these different versions.
Your options are:
a) stay up to date and deal with tweaking presets
b) stay on a previous firmware and live without the other updates
c) Update less frequently, and just do your big re-dial every 6 months or so when you catch up on the last dozen changes
d) switch to a competing platform which only releases updates every 9 months and rarely causes changes to prior models so you no longer have to deal with this decision.
Life is all about trade-offs.
