Ha!

That happened to me once.

Thanks for another one, Cliff!

Downloading, but beddy-bye time over here... I'll try it tomorrow.
 
16.00
Improved Amp block cathode follower model. New model includes effects of grid resistance which results in more accurate clipping characteristics.
Improved Amp block virtual power tube model. Improved algorithm more accurately models plate current vs. grid voltage yielding a more accurate transfer function which results in more pleasing power amp distortion and improved feel.
Improved Amp block virtual power tube interaction with virtual output transformer. This yields improved low-frequency accuracy and feel. Furthermore this improves the output waveform accuracy resulting in much improved interaction with the cabinet block. IRs should now sound fuller and more resonant with more “thunk” and “knock”. The Low Res parameter in the Spkr tab can be used to increase or decrease the amount of knock.
Added Power Amp Hardness parameter to Amp block. This parameter controls the hardness of the virtual power tube grid clipping. Models default to “Medium” and any presets created with earlier firmware versions will be set to Medium upon recall.
Changed Layout grid navigation so that wraparound does not occur when using Left/Right nav buttons. Up/Down nav buttons will still wrap around allowing easy access to the beginning/end of the grid. Also, the previously highlighted block will be selected when moving into the grid from the Input or Output blocks using the Left/Right nav buttons.
Fixed attaching modifier to Crossover block XOVER FREQUENCY overwrites parameter value display in other blocks.
 
so bloody fast, hope will be able to insert before our next gig on october 4th. Thanks so much again. marvellous
 
Oh frack. Tried it anyway. First couple of minutes sound great!



(I never was first before... :))
 
Before installing, will it audibly affect volume levels differently for different amps (DLR, Twin, Marshalls, Rectos, AC30) ?
