Just to append the description of the noise floor issue I am having, it is not the hardware noise floor. That is still perfectly wonderful, silent. My issue is the base noise floor of the amp models, specifically the plexi models. They have always been practically silent and I have never used the noise gate with them, but now they are very noisey especially the 50 watt. Alot of it has to do with the bright cap. Again the overall tone of FWQ9 is amazing and the feel is stunningly good, but I cant use my favorite amps. I have noticed even the clean amps have some noise to them. Again it may be my unit and not the FW but I only noticed the change in amp block noise after the FW upgrade.
No trying to stir anything up, just trying to get to the bottom of my issue.
Thanks again Cliff!
I watched your video and couldn't replicate the noise issues you were experiencing using the exact same amps and cab at their default settings after resetting the amp block, and the noise gate was disabled on my end.
Did you reset the amp block prior to recording that? If so, then I'd attribute the noise to your settings or setup somewhere, because I can't replicate it. If not, try resetting it.
