Axe-Fx II Quantum Firmware Release Notes

7.02
Improved Motor Drive algorithm in Cabinet block. New algorithm more accurately models the compression of guitar loudspeakers by factoring in the reactive aspects of the compression.
A gain monitor has been added to the Mix page in the GUI menu to assist in adjusting the amount of compression. Note that typical guitar speakers have around 3-6 dB of compression when driven hard with American speakers being on the low end of that range and British speakers being on the high end. Some speakers can exhibit even more compression than this with compression amounts of 8 dB or more depending upon the magnetic materials used and the construction of the speaker motor.
the motor drive improvement sounds great...but Northwestern is currently getting pounded on by Gonzaga...can you fix that Cliff?
To you guys who feel compelled to spill the beans for those of us who can't currently watch and who are recording to watch later, well, really? I'm thinking of all the places to go where no one will spoil the score. Yeah, the Fractal site will be okay. Little did I know . . .

I really like the new Optical compressors. One complaint I have about compressors is that you either get too much compression or not enough. One thing I really like about my Strymon OB.1 compressor is that it does that "barely there" thing really well, where it adds just the right about of sweetening without being overpowering. Playing with the Optical 1 compressor gets really close to that.
The "mix" knob is your friend
