Thanks Chris, I'm aware, I just meant it as a joke.
The SV Model is a lot gnarlier than before and the power amp seems to break up sooner. The extra grit makes it sound fatter and meaner overall. The master volume is a lot more sensitive - turning down to around 3 seems to get a cleaner tone. Around 5 it gets a mild breakup and quickly gets dirtier as you go to 6 or above. The mids sound slightly tweaked to my ears - although I have to say that it feels very different from the previous SVT model, in a good way.
The Portabass has that Ampeg characteristic but is definitely cleaner but can get mean when pushed. Has very different mids and I'd say this is great for fingerstyle players. There's a certain low mid that should cut through on rounder, finger style songs (has that Motown vibe).
That’s what I’ve been saying.. the Cab Block is phenomenal. I’ve been messing around with dual amp and dual cab setups, and with the channel switching been doing a lot of really fantastic sounding stuff within the stereo field. Having the four channels is a godsend too.Cab room sounds great, floor reflections sound great, mic spacing is predictable and balanced again, IR phase graph is F O K I N B R I L L I A N T, just using factory recto IRs it doesn't matter how dark or woofy the capture is, if you lay it on top of another IR, any IR, you can line them up in such a way to get so much clear natural high end chime out of it, and it automatically lines up the low register and low mids at the same time when you get it tuned. 2.05 beta is invoking the involuntary laughter again, I can't wait to try it out with some non-min phase redwirez. Can we add the 1-2-3-4 mic distance values somewhere on the graph page
I've been playing with the new cab block features and it sounds good however, I don't know what everything is or what I should be using for my heavier metal stuff. Most features seem self explanatory and its probably a use your ears approach but any tips or tutorials would be nice if someone has the time. I get the room reflection but what about air and room or hall size settings? Are these settings for live or just studio? When lining up the IR 1,2,3,4, colors on the graph, mine are really close to each other and have a straighter line in the low end thump area but spiraled through the mids and highs so if I line them up tight in the straighter area is that what is best? I don't normally use the room settings but would love to learn.
I can’t comment on the alignment stuff, I haven’t used it yet, I’m one of the ones that relies on AxeEdit as the unit is 10ft away & kinda tucked away. However I did run over and edit the Cab Block right quick to A/B/C the new Floor Reflections at Off/1/2 up/All the way up. Btw, this is also tied into the overall Level % on how much of it you hear. The difference between the Shape (Hall/Room) (to my ears, this is not anything official) would be the time of the reflections. You can test this out by turning up the Size & Level parameters all the way and then flipping between Hall & Room.

I generally never install beta firmware, but I made an exception here to try the SVT. And it's much much better, so thank you for that! My only wish would be that the three-position mid switch be added as a selectable option.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I would love to have a model with the 6146B power tubes, but IME (having owned a late '69 with 6146's) there isn't a blow-me-away difference.Reworked SV Bass amp model. Model is now based on a 1970 Ampeg SVT with 6550 power tubes and the midrange switch in position 3.
That's from the FCs only... Not assignable to midi.Where is the control switch menu? I'm able to assign a control switch as a modifier but there's no tab in the controllers menu. Anyone else getting this?
