8.01 is killing at the gig tonight. All amps are smokin in detail and feel, especially the AC30TB - wow!

first gig last night with 8.01........First impression in In-Ear Mix - the High end is missing , my sounds seemed to cut not so good.
Man an the FOH said - everythings great.
Totally agree. I am on the verge of selling my Fender Stratocaster. Last night on a whim I decided to play thru a few of the Fender emulations with my Strat. I'm reconsidering selling the Strat now. I was playing Dick Dale, SRV, etc. and was thinking "dangit Cliff!".
That's funny you guys mentioned the Strat and the Fender amps. One of the first riffs my dad taught me how to play when I started learning guitar was The Ventures Pipeline. He loves that old surf music. Actually took him to see Dick Dale in concert last year. So when I sat down with the new presets yesterday and tried out the Double Verb preset and heard that tone I grabbed my Strat, cranked the Reverb and busted out some Pipeline. I texted my dad after and said you are gonna love this sound I'm getting right now. I gotta record some clips for him this weekend. Blown away with Q8.01.Everyone should own at least one Strat.

installed 8.01 and the new presets. Sound amazing. When the presets got done loading I had my bass plugged in to the axe. it came up on the bassman patch and sounded glorious! One of the amps that jumped out at me was the Maz38. The response is incredible. I also tried it through my studio monitors for the first time in a long time yesterday and I can't get over how good it sounds in a FRFR mode!!! Fantastic improvements over time!!!! Thanks Cliff!

ha ha, if you knew our soundman, you wouldn´t trust him....he doesn´t like Overdrive/Distortion....8.01 has more high end than any previous firmware. Your ears are deceiving you. Trust your soundman.
I'm actually dealing with this issue at the moment as well. My advice is to tune your patches to your studio monitors so they'll sound great at FOH.
Secondly, IEM's are rarely flat, so it may help you to do a google search for the frequency response of your IEM model and then have your monitor engineer put a master EQ on your mix to help flatten them out.
For instance, I'm using UE11's, and to get them sounding flat, I'm cutting 165 Hz, boosting 1.5k with a wide Q, cutting a little 2.3k, and boosting a high shelf at 8k. It cuts the mud out and takes the blanket off of the entire mix. It'll be different for your particular IEM's, but that's the idea to help your patches translate better to your in-ears.
