Go to Setup > Utility on the hardware to see the installed version.After loading the second Beta, and rebooting, both Axe-Edit and Fractal-Bot “see” the firmware as Beta. Just making sure this isn’t indicating the original Beta is still Active? Cheers
You will get the crunchier tone of the EL-84 though since its knee voltage (kvb) is roughly half that of an EL-34.
He's talking about changing tube types. The EL-84 is a kind of output tube.Sorry guys, but I know I’m out of my depth, but can someone give me a layman breakdown of what Cliff meant With all the EL-xx talk? If its translatable to a layman....
You can change the power tubes and magically, it will work like that amp was made for the new tube type. You can’t install 2 different power tube types in the same amp because the magic doesn’t work like that.Sorry guys, but I know I’m out of my depth, but can someone give me a layman breakdown of what Cliff meant With all the EL-xx talk? If its translatable to a layman....
Kemper is shit compared to axe 3Thanks Cliff! What service! Kemper never kept up with changes/issues like this.
Not trying to drag this into a Kemper conversation but the concept of what Kemper does has always intrigued me. It is a virtual possibility of limitless amps and drive/amp combinations. That being said, Kemper definitely lacks the insane motivation we are now used to seeing for continual improvement. This is definitely the ride you want to be on in amp modeling.Kemper is shit compared to axe 3
They need to v2.0 their shit over there in Deutschland and keep up cuz it is a good product lol
And cliff thank you for continuing the good work
Your truly living out your life calling brother

There are a variety of parameters loaded when a tube type is selected. Hardness, which is inversely proportional to the knee voltage, is exposed to the user as it is the most audible.I'm probably not qualified except to say that different tube characteristics mean different tone/feel/clipping, but not as much as in a real amp (which doesn't auto-adjust the transformer).
The knee voltage affects break-up characteristics, quote: "Selecting a Power Tube Type loads the “knee voltage” for the power tubes and this voltage can be adjusted up or down using Power Tube Hardness. Higher values yield a lower knee voltage and more abrupt clipping and vice-versa."
That's kinda living dangerously dontca think?
Anthropology Professor at a poster day who has no idea what he’s looking at: “So how would you explain this to an 8th grader?”Sorry guys, but I know I’m out of my depth, but can someone give me a layman breakdown of what Cliff meant With all the EL-xx talk? If its translatable to a layman....
