I hear ya brother!Story of my life
as long as it's in your ears now, that's all that mattersMigrating from 3.01 to 3.02 = holy crap!
What happened in there?
It's like having my old tube amps back.
Awesome sauce and pixie dust in one release!
....or is it all in my head........
No operator error! You just really dig 1.6 with your guitar's/gear/taste/mix/sounds... and that's cool! Nothing wrong with a combination that works magic for you. I'm sure most of us have awesome memories/recordings of past gear/firmware and wish we could access that sound/feel once again. Now that it's mostly firmware, we can! Rejoice, you didn't have to buy back your old gear!I gave it my all to try to get the feel and tone with this firmware. I guess I just don't get it and will stick with 1.6. The only thing seemed to get it close was the supply sag turned off and then notched up. I guess to me it feels a lot better boomy, liquid, and with sustain. A lot of that disappears in this firmware and the feel which makes it feel easy to play to me seems hard to recapture. i agree with everyone that it sounds more real, but also feel like the old sounds have feel more like a in the mix sound. I think there is more breakup and less brightness. im thinking possibly my complaint is the algorithm change that happened from 1.6 to 2 upgrade. I don't really know where it is or how to isolate it. Anyways, thank you all for the help. I can't really complain but apparently it's operator error.
I'm sure Cliff appreciates it, but there should be some self-acknowledgement for the attitude of the customers and the culture of this community that has empowered Cliff to take risks, try new stuff, and use a rolling release strategy. Some companies and products are locked in an old-world mentality of hunkering down and working out bugs and monolithic big-deal releases in a very slow and expensive way that might increase perception of quality/stability of the release, but only results in a few releases over the life of the product because it is so expensive to go through the cycle. Meanwhile, frustrated customers have to wait forever to get their updates and along the way they have less feedback to influence the outcome.
The culture that Cliff and you/we all have formed is a winning model, and I hope that other companies take note of it. It's closer to the model of open-source software like linux distributions- take Debian for example. People who are conservative and need the rock-solid stable release can hang back and use older stuff, while people who want latest pretty stable features can go newer and still have pretty low risk of problems, and the hobbyist/enthusiasts can track day to day changes and they accept that they may encounter bugs. Everyone gets what they want!
So thanks Cliff, and also thank you all for your positivity and support that creates the environment for Cliff and gang to do what they do.
I remember back around FW7 or 9 when it was a pretty straight out of the box metal tone the unit could do. Didn't sound as "real" as it does now, but it sounded good. Sort of like a hot girl with implants....you could tell some things are fake but does anyone actually care ? LOL
reinstall the FW and try the ideal setting in the AMP block
This got me close to the feel! I think if I tweak I may get there!!! Awesome. I think 1.6 was authentic not sure why all of the sudden the ideal compressor is making the difference in the attack. Thanks!!!
So I guess my next question is did the compressor settings change from 1.6 to 3.01? I never have messed with on any of my presets and it was always just perfect. Now switching to ideal is bringing back the feel. I wonder why the authentic no longer has the same feel?
