    Am I losing my mind, or did there used to be a "save preset to a different slot" option under the "Preset" top bar menu? Somehow it has disappeared or my brain has convinced me it has previously existed although it has not.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 22.00 Release

    There exists in the amp block an SIC that matches each Dynacab. There exists an option for the amp block to automatically select the matching SIC dependent on the Dynacab you have selected. I wouldn't consider that "baked in" per se, but I suppose the end result is the same.

    Dyna Cabs versus Legacy cabs

    That is exceptionally odd, unless you are somehow using Legacy cabs that are very similar to the default Dynas. Even then, seems incredibly unlikely that you wouldn't notice any difference. Using Global cabs? Spitballing, not even sure that would matter.

    I don't necessarily expect my experience to transfer well to others, but I personally find adding in the Rumble 12L cab or even the Bassman 2x12 can fill in the mids a bit. All very much "to my ear" as I don't want to be involved in any discussion whether any IR is actually "lacking mids."

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 22.00 Public Beta #2 (Beta 7)

    Glad I am not the only one to notice this. I usually refrain from most comments because I assume I am just nuts. It is easy to compensate for, but the initial impression is definitely 'scooped' sounding. That being said, I feel the same about most IRs, especially 412 cabs.
