A very young looking Josh Scott explaining the Morning Glory...7 years ago.



And his complete history of it here;

I checked against @Burgs' CloudBurgzt preset he shared the other day, which had high CPU on scenes 3, 6 and 7. They're all down to ~77% now with Gapless off, and ~79% with it on. Great job!

Okay, here they are!

Amp Model #11: 5153 50W Blue Stealth

Amp Model #45: Brit 2203

Happy Easter, M*****f****s!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Wow the Stealth sounds amazing! Thanks! Any Chance on the Stealth Red-Channel for the final Release?

What are the differences between the EVH stealth and non stealth models?

Nobody saw the stealth model coming.

It might be a stealth release

The Red channel is the same as the OG 5153.

 

[LeBigMac]

The Red channel is the same as the OG 5153.

Thanks for the clarification! The Update sounds awesome!

 

[LeBigMac]

There's some new Mojo in this Firmware. Everything sound meaner. Can't stop playing. Unbelievable!
Thanks again!

Oh… switching through @Burgs Starwards presets has no glitches with Gapless turned on, they transition perfectly even with all their time-based effects. Simply amazing!

I just guessed the formula from when Speaker Thump was updated a while ago, where he wrote that 2.50 was like a 50W amp into a 100W cab, and 5.00 was a 100W amp into a 100W cab. I thought about what formula would fit this reasoning and went from there! So I like this one 5150 4x12 cab IR I've captured from third party software, and that's a 240W cab. So if I run a 50W Plexi into it, I set Speaker Thump to 1.04, but if I run a 100W amp into it, I set it to 2.08.

That's how I work it also as a starting point.

Grassy-Ass !!!

All the new drive models sound great!

That 2203 is so inspiring! I've been playing on it for about an hour now and I was just supposed to be updating and checking if my usual presets sounded okay...

Changed default values of Speaker Drive and Speaker Thump to better align with measurements of typical speakers.

Just re-check IIUC, there is no change to the behaviour of these parameters as such; the only change is the default value when loading up an amp model, right?

 

[painkiller]

With this version my output volume is very much lower than with 23.02 (approx 9 db). At least with the S/PDIF output, have not tried the analog output yet.

I noticed that also - using IEM's had to go into preset leveling and turn both all the way up not sure why

 

[randyman]

Well, this means I have to go back in time and update all Thursday’s Thanksgiving lists. But it’s worth it!

Thanks, Fractal – if I had any turkey left, you’d be invited.

Correct.
