i mean, i feel like it was made pretty clear. 1.05 is just a fix for 1.04 since the preamp hardness settings were off.
Then why did Cliff say it's basically 1.03 with bug fixes & new amps?

Yeah thats pretty much why I wanted to check with the man himself.Then why did Cliff say it's basically 1.03 with bug fixes & new amps?
Everyone needs to take a breath ..., there's nothing in the release notes to indicate Cliff's taken a step back with his approach to the modeling tech .... And make no mistake about it ..., that IS what everyone is wondering or not so subtly hinting at ....
Here's the timeline as I see it when I re-read all of the release notes:
vQ1.00 ( Public Beta ) –
· Quantum Tube Modeling Technology is introduced ….
vQ1.00 –
· RTS Triode Preamp options added ….
· Preamp Comp ( renamed CF Comp ) ….
· Preamp Compressor Type added ….
· New Dynamic mode in Character control added ….
vQ1.01 –
· Power Tube Plate current is modeled more accurately ….
vQ1.02 –
· No “announced” improvements made to Quantum Modeling Technology ….
vQ1.03 –
· Improved Triode Grid Conduction Model ….
· Improved Cathode Follower Model ….
vQ1.04 –
· Improved Triode Saturation Modeling ( Preamp Hardness ) ….
vQ1.05 –
· Preamp Hardness default values fixed ….
As I read it, the "improvements" to the Triode Saturation Modeling were encompassed in the Preamp Hardness control .... All that was necessary was a correction to the default setting .... All of the "secret sauce" ..., just like Prego Spaghetti Sauce ..., is STILL in there !
Is anyone else having a problem with the XL PLUS download link for Q1.05?
There is nothing at all to suggest Triode Saturation Modeling were or were not encompassed anywhere in 1.05.
Except there was ....

"If you are using 1.04 set Preamp Hardness to 9.2. That's what 1.05 will sound like and is virtually identical to 1.03 ( 1.03 is equivalent to a Preamp Hardness of 9.5 ). There were no other changes to the modeling other than the Preamp Hardness stuff. Some of the amp models were tweaked to fix minor mistakes but other than that and the bug fixes nothing else changed."
Here's what I think happened ....
vQ1.03 - Preamp Hardness = 9.5
vQ1.04 - Preamp Hardness = 6.0 ( when the firmware was originally dropped. This was an incorrect value and the next version corrected the mistake ).
vQ1.05 - Preamp Hardness = 9.2
Cliff please clarify. I need to know what I think about this FW.No, Cliff said exactly this about v1.05: Basically same as 1.03 with some bug fixes and new models.
He also said this a couple of posts down: Actually 1.03. It's the same basic tonality of 1.03. 1.04 changed the Preamp Hardness whereas 1.05 sets it very close to the default value used in 1.03.
There is nothing at all to suggest Triode Saturation Modeling were or were not encompassed anywhere in 1.05.
the best part though is that we can play our guitars and not worry about any of it.
Cliff please clarify. I need to know what I think about this FW.
