    FM3 Firmware Version 3.02 Beta 1

    Firmware Wednesday is just a Model of Firmware Friday., It doesn't sound as good though, but it did cut in some Blindfoold tests at MP3 quality YouTubes, however, people reported that it may sound as good as Firmware Friday but felt different.

    Ares vs Cygnus - if it was perfect - how can it be better now?

    I agree with you in part, but since we're dealing with 1. Science and 2. An attempt to recreate an analog device in the digital domain, there is no room for semantic looseness. Its not like saying "its the best cake ever made" just because it tastes good. This context demands responsibility...

    Axe-Fx versus UA OX cab sims

UA have a thing with modeling many types of devices and...

    When using a SS Power Amp with the AxeFx, do you turn off PowerAmp modeling?

    When using a SS Power Amp(such as matrix) into a guitar Cabinet, not FRR, with the AxeFx, do you turn off PowerAmp modeling? The POwerAmp modeling is half the sound of any amp, if not more, are you suppose to sacrifice it for the transparent tone iff the Mtrix? How do you go about it? Thanks.

    I connected the Real 1987 to a load box, from there to an input in the AXE in the same patch as the modeled amp, so they both go to the same cab simulation and it also gives me anoppotunity to have the most close comparison possible, since they live on the same patch and everything.
