Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 8.00 Firmware Release

8.00

Improved amp modeling. Improves clarity and sounds more “open” especially for non-MV amp models or when the MV is turned up.

The bias excursion values for most amp models have been updated based on new measurement techniques. Existing presets will automatically be updated to the new values.

Based on user feedback the Amp block Speaker Drive now defaults to zero.

Cab block Delay parameters now have 0.001 ms resolution.

Increased gain of “Brit Brown” model by 12 dB.

Added “5F1 Tweed EC” based on a Fender Eric Clapton Vibro-Champ.

Fixed “quantization” noise when Amp block Transformer Drive parameter is set to its minimum value and a lot of gain is applied after the block. This specifically addresses the “Tube Pre” model as the default Transformer Drive is at the minimum.

Fixed Amp block Preamp Hardness parameter not “sticking”.

Fixed incorrect Modifier mapping in Advanced page of Amp block.

Looking forward to trying the EC champ!
 
Nuclear Tone is back to it's fantastic "play it light and it chimes just a bit, smack it hard and it's got some hair on it" thing... that's the stuff right there.

The new 5F1 Tweed EC sounds awe-some with a drive in front, anything that'll hit it with a bit more top end and/or a mid push and it really comes alive.

Thanks FAS!
