My experience on this board is less than many others, but I have found that although you may get "razzed" by others, and occasionally by Fractal, when you're on to something, and you don't let go, it usually gets fixed or otherwise revised or implemented...there was a tuner variance calibration issue a while back, and I believe it was mainly Joe Gold (along with a one or two others) who wouldn't let go...and despite initial statements that it was just the way it was...it got fixed (or changed if you will, for the better). There have been a number of members who have had various issues, stick with it despite the criticism, and have gotten results...GM Arts and Radley come to mind. Mostly truth is truth, and these types of comments can ultimately result in a better product...of course there is always the un-constructive stuff :roll: It's obviously Cliff's call...but I've seen the product improved greatly due to respectful, constructive customer feedback...
That's all I think I gave anybody - respectful, constructive feedback concerning the unusual behavior of the reverb module.
Frankly I don't care if he fixes this one. I know what not to do and the reverb sounds better - he made vast improvements, and read my mind concerning the predelay parameters that were added. And like you said, it's Cliff's decision. If he wants the 15 day trial users to experience the thrill of high frequency noise and oscillation, that's most certainly his prerogative.
I expect an amp model to go unstable. It was made clear that the controls allow you to go beyond what a real amp is capable of and in doing so it may self oscillate or become unstable.
I expect delays with a feedback gain greater than 1 to run away and create an overload condition. That's normal behavior for delays.
But out of all the reverb units I've ever used in my entire life, both hardware and software, I've never had a reverb program become unstable or go into oscillation until now. That's why I commented. If that's going to remain the way it is that's perfectly fine with me. I'd buy my AXEs again, and I'm certainly not going back to 8.09.
