    FM3 Firmware Version 8.00 beta 1

    There is less low mids I find obviously depends on guitars But I can pretty much turn up the bass now without it farting out or crank up mids without it getting honky , I find the tone controls have a much bigger range , it can be a bit thinner depending on the amp model but as you said it easy...

    where are you setting your bass ? A lot of the guys like Demartini was running his bass at about 9 0clock , mids 1 o'clock treble 1 or 2 o'clock , and boosting the front to tighten it up as a plexiglass by nature is not a really tight beast

    I think what others are saying that does make sense to me is that there are varying degrees of output depending on the pedal , so a tube screamer with output on 7 might be louder than a Horizon drive on 7 if all things are not equal how could you level that other than manually one by one ?
