    FAS only needs to free some space in the flash mem. Thus dump some things we hardly use and fill this space with new exiting stuff. They promissed life time updates so arrange it FAS.

    Opinions on Power amps And cabs please

    This is exactly what I ment with the mechanical behaviour of a real EVM12L compared to an EVM12L IR's via a FRFR setup. An IR is a capture of a freq charactetistics of the speaker so only the sound of the speaker, nothing more nothing less. My ass (I am standing with my back towards my backline)...

    Markom, He will probably say that he already covered this on the last forum in 1997 and that the EVM is a copy from a speaker he already designed in 1965. Jay knows his shit.

    The new MATRIX GT800FX. THE amp for THE Axe-Fx

    I presume that your speaker are being swapped for the 8 ohm version? The way you use these EVM's without the cab sims is different how ohers use it with cab sims on. This is in a way a compliment for these speakers because they can use anyway you want. And iindeed these speakers makes your...

    Opinions on Power amps And cabs please

    IR's can only reproduce the freq behavior of a speaker. So the EVM12L IR can NOT reproduce the mechanical behavior of this speaker. And that is exactly what is missing playing FRFR. No pressure, character or balls which you will have with the real deal. Regards
