Dial back input trim?my fender cleans are noticeably more overdriven now. I have my input drive at .47 so that shouldn't be an issue. I re-flashed back to 4.x for the time being.
CLIFF SSSSSSSSSSSSSSTOP, dont change another a thing with the AMP BLOCK; NO MORE epiphanies, dump time brainstorming, flux capacitor add ons; This has brought me back to some earlier firmwares.. Way more Ahhh moments, Way more stopping to just PLAY. My IR's sound better, the frequencies are better, less mud, no blanket, SOMETHING worked.
I am typically not thrilled with changes, each one seemed to do the opposite of what I previously liked, so this is big news.
How do you know Cliff isn't on a roll now ? What if he continues working (which I'm sure 99.9% of users would like) and he makes it sound even better still ? Even better sound with IR"s, even less mud, less blanket etc ?
To simply stop after what you consider a successful improvement (I think most actually feel there has been steady progress, for what its worth) and not touch anything again is fine and good for you, because friend, you have the ability to simply NOT install any additional updates.
The rest of us, who want to see just how far this magic box can go, enjoy Cliff's continued hard work, and to suggest he throw his hands up, just because your satisfied, is selfish at best, ignorant at worst. So again, I am glad you pleased with the latest FW, and I'm glad that it apparently sounds better than you think the unit has for a long time, but please Cliff, don't stop being Cliff. Keep the innovation and continued improvement going as long as is practical.
Those who want to get off the ride at any given point are more than free to go do so.

Cliff, HOOK 2A is a masterpiece !!! congratulations !!
my fender cleans....
If you have an FRFR cab, then you want the CAB simulation on. If you have a traditional guitar cabinet (Mesa, Orange, Peavey, Friedman, etc), you want CAB simulation off.
If it's truly full-range and truly flat-response (most 2x12's aren't), you'll probably want the cab sim on. If it's only "sort of" FRFR, you're into a grey area where you'll have to use your ears. If it's an actual guitar cab, turn the cab sim off.
That's just the version reported to Axe-Edit. If the Utility menu says 5.02 you're all set.
I think most of it has something to do with the fact I listen at conversational volumes and I'm not only hearing the sound coming through the headphones or monitors, I'm also picking up the sound of the guitar in the room. I think It's the combo of the two that's throwing me off. I've tried different ways to eliminate and block the sound of the pick hitting the strings and the strings themselves, but it's eluded me. There's always some spillover. I don't have the same problem when playing keyboard. It sounds the same whether I'm playing or just listening.
. It's amazing how much easier it is to mix a recording when you're not trying to make a bunch of chainsaw-sounding guitar parts fit in. .[/QUOTE said:I know right. Lol
and imparts a considerable beaming effect, off axis high freq lossMy experience:
Cab sims work quite well with EV-12Ls at low volume. They help emphasize the low end and remove the brittleness.
However, the speaker's sound changes considerably when the volume is turned up. Using a cab sim then turns it into a muddy mess.
That's the cab, not the IR.and imparts a considerable beaming effect, off axis high freq loss
