[State of Epicicity]

@My name is mud This sounds like a good contender for the wishlist. You may be able to get some traction there.

If I remember I have already wish it month ago in the wish list , even with the diagram I think as I always try to do that .

Edit : yes I ve done it and my tread went closed as someone already wished it .

I always did wonder why sometimes some knobs in ideal didn’t do anything looking through a spectrum analyzer

I was playing synth block white noise through the signal chain as reference

This explains it, +1.619 to a “Tweaks” Page

I was thinking 1.618 would be golden.

I knew something looked wrong

you could say it needed a “tweak” page

The amp has no Depth control and the control on the model does nothing.

This makes me want pop up tips in axe edit even more. Just so I can hover over something only to have it pop up and say "this control does nothing"

not a fan of popup tips - prefering greyed out for "inoperable", no need to take mouse, move pointer over control, and wait for
look up in order to get info.

Yeah, & that will do nothing for people like me who mainly edit on the Axe itself. The more I think of it, I would prefer the ideal option on the Axe that only had controls that worked, or make all the controls shown work. In Cliff's example from earlier, he says the AC-20 has no tone controls, but why not give an option where it does at least have BMT? I'm all for authenticity & love that the Axe gets closer & closer to being accurate but one of the things I've always liked is you can easily go beyond authentic & create something that works for you.

And My Axe

Is that a Gimli reference?

No. Early Pink Floyd.

 

[unix-guy]

I think lowering all amp master volumes to about 1.8-2.5 would do it for me. At least give me the ball-park figure I like. Then I can do each one individually. I'd like a way to do it across all of them in one fell swoop and then go from there, but don't think it is possible.

I guess it depends on the Amp models you use... But as mentioned you can use the Batch Setter option to set a parameter to the same value across multiple presets.

You can also use FracTool to do similar with it's Batch Setter and apparently use relative values like -2 or +1, etc.

I think that's a different topic -> provide more non-authentic controls

Dont know … to me having the real knobs in one part and extra ones in another part is a good idea. With this you learn how the originals are made when you don’t know the models. I like the « simulator » part of the modeler. It’s more realistic don’t know …
Choosing a one knob amps and having ten controls on it because that’s fun to do it hm ..no

 

[rushfan]

I don’t see that song in this list

 

[Red Solo Cup]

So ... any FW related issues ???????????

So ... any FW related issues ???????????

This one is pretty solid most of the big bugs got worked out in beta 2 and 3
You are. Probably safe to check it out

I am actually fighting with the AFD (oh noooooo) trying to understand why is it the marshall in the unit that sound off compared to the others.

Additionally, it might be what Justin York agrees to, and is also an item for the Amp Wish List?

York Audio, 2022:

• The JCM Slash was made when Slash asked Marshall to make him some extra Jubilees. They were able to source enough NOS parts to make around 200 amps and decided to make it their first “signature” amp. Some say it has slightly more low end and gain and others feel it’s identical to their original Jubilee heads. It’s my favorite amp to play in the room. The AFD is a VERY different animal. That amp lacks fullness and has an abrasive upper midrange and doesn’t have the top end sparkle and edge that the Jubilee/JCM Slash has.
• The JCM Slash would knock your socks off and make the Jubilee fans really happy since the one in the unit doesn’t sound like an actual Jubilee, plus, it’s cool that you can activate/bypass the diode clipping for different distortion flavors.
• I have an open door policy with Cliff and he’s welcome to borrow and model any of my amps. I’d particularly love to see the OR80 and the JCM Slash (Jubilee) modeled.

I suspect Cliff is aware it's available to him, but has/had more important things to do first — and/or prefers amps that he can own and take measurements of at any time.

this would be totally amazing !

Hey I have that movie lol

Front panel or Axe-Edit?

I really want to get rid of the Ideal page. It's causes a lot of headaches.

I 99% stick with the Authentic tab. I don't see a need to have inauthentic EQ controls (there are plenty of workarounds for those), but every once in a while I'll mess with parameters more in modification territory like the Bright switch or the Depth (for the Dirty Shirley, for example).

 

[notalemming]

I think that's a different topic -> provide more non-authentic controls.

It could be that, or just remove ones that do nothing rather than having to toggle between 2 pages on the Axe to do what can be done now on 1 page if you choose the ideal option in the setup menu.

best imo, as I mention above, is all on one page with authentic marked or colored for easy recognition, and non-functioning controls greyed out / inoperable so I know what kinds of tweaks do not apply to the selected amp. That would provide all options / info on one page with no need for going back and forth between 2 pages.

 

[giantslayer]

Those would stay as well. Only things that don't do anything would go. Another example is, again, an AC-20. The amp has no Depth control and the control on the model does nothing.

Removing controls that aren't on the amp and don't do anything is an objectively positive change. Anyone who says otherwise is probably misunderstanding.
