You do realize that your "long time to wait" still blows away literally every other modeler in existence, yes?

Absolutely Dave!
I usually try the betas, but I decided to wait this time, and boy, was it a long wait!
Earlier this year, out of curiosity, I tried some of the usual suspects, DAW-wise to see if their simulations had improved.
They had, but still couldn't touch the Axe.
But whilst trying one, I thought 'could Fractal not implement that, because it's so common now? The ability to move a virtual microphone?'
I thought of suggesting it, but left it.
Imagine my surprise when Cliff started working on this.
When Fractal does something it's like Cliff is a heavily muscled wrestler in a bar watching handbags at dawn, gets up from his bar stool and says, 'hold my beer.'

So I'd like to thank the Fractal team for all their work. And to this day, I still enjoy the improvements made to the modulation effects, even though it was a good while ago.

This has been a long time coming and a feature request for at least a couple years now. FAS is late to the game but they also implemented this very well into their ecosystem. It’s the Apple approach. Let the others develop it, then make it right and do it better.

Now I just cannot wait for the Dyna Cab Packs. I mean, it's funny, because you don't need anything else really, but when I think of the possibilities...this is true GAS. I hope someone captures an actual 5150 cab with Sheffield speakers at some point. 🙂

Give me a moment man. With 20+ cabs, 4 mics, 4 mixer slots and thousands of mic positions, it’s going to take me a long time to go through even the sensible combinations.

My Axe froze up last night during a show: the usual no sound/response, all lights on red. I’ve been running the betas with no issues, and installed this release on Tuesday. I’ll try to recreate and troubleshoot. Over the next few days.

Yes, same here. It seems simple, at first, to set a dynacab, but once you begin to use more cabs at the same time it is not so easy. They are many possibilities already. No hurry here. After all these betas I need to rest a little 🤣
I still like my irs combination a lot too, I don’t forget them. Come in my arms little irs ♥️🍒
 
I waited for the official release and just tried Dyna cabs for the first time. Keep in mind I know less than nothing about mic placements on speakers in the real world. I tried the 1960TV Dyna cab in my favorite Marshall preset, played around with the mics and placement for 5 min, and was able to match my favorite greenback IR. Unbelievable. I didn't notice the removal of a "blanket" on my sounds with Dyna cab as some others have reported, but I never had that issue to begin with. Just sounds dynamic and great. Now I can start to explore improving beyond this with the addition of more mics/placements and cabs. Very satisfying,
 
Anyone else feeling like there's some compression that wasn't there before? The DC30 EF86 I use all the time doesn't feel as stiff as it did... either my old IR version or the new Dynacab version. I'm also finding the same amp settings are slightly cleaner than before... which doesn't make much sense... more compressed, but cleaner.

I haven't done an A/B with prior FW, but I'm so familiar with the DC30 EF86 that it's obvious to me.

It could fall under “various other fixes and improvements” OR you could have a different SIC curve, may be getting auto set.
 
Since I installed this version a red "in1 clip" message appears, I don't know how to solve it or if it really affects the input sound, for example if it is distorting too much due to a saturated input.

Thanks!
