7.16 vs 7.17

[bjoo]

Wow! definately lot smoother :shock:
7.17 seems like a huge step forward to the real thing!

 

[Clawfinger]

Yeah, for me it's really a smoother/better experience to work with. Suddenly other amps sounds like I'd expect them to do. Really enjoying it!

Again: Good job, Cliff!

NICE!!!

For the 7.16 vs 7.17 comparison, did you "reload" amp sims or just apply straight 7.16 vs 7.17 with no amp "reload"?

Fun playing btw :mrgreen:

Thanks!

I reamped a DI through 7.16, made the FW upgrade and reamped again.

Thanks for doing this Jocke,

I'm gonna pop this one in. I too ordered the Metal Foundry - curious to see what that's all about too. I feel more bari madness coming...

On a different subject, I surprised how seldom folks discuss the bass tones/approach, and since it is so critical to a mix, I'd be curious to learn more about your strategies. Do you use the Axe there too? Maybe we should do another thread?

I have some different bass sounds in the Afx that I'm using. This is just an SVT with some additional EQ. 7.16 though. Didn't reamp that.

With a nice bass cab IR (like the Ampeg ones) it's not that difficult to get a good bass sound. The problem is to get the right IR. I got mine by accident, almost when I just threw a Chinese Ribbon in front of an Ampeg 4x12. Bam! Instant rock character. Also, my Steinberger synapse 5-string is a ridiculously good balanced sounding bass. No real character, but very easy to "mould" into any type of music.

For more brutality, I use the FAS modern, Recto, and even Das MEtal into the Ampeg IR, and it sounds like the bass from hell.

Thanks for the good word Jocke. Now for an inane question, where so we get these strange IR thingies you speak of? I haven't loaded anything into my Axe other than firmware.
