Thanks for another awesome update Cliff and FAS Team!

The JVM and JS410 models were already fantastic before, but you managed to take it up by a few notches, really awesome sounding models!

The "rebalanced" comment above resonates for me on this release - I didn't A/B compare, so maybe some placebo going on, but so far, playing mostly the Archon model, it sounds/feels more balanced / even to me also, and a tad more "lively" than before.

I think that was probably in reference to the JVM / JS410 amps...
 
Is a soft reset required to have the updates applied, or is this change applied with the update? I’m more curious about the patches I’ve created, if I need to do a soft reset. Theres always the guy who questions this, i’ll be that guy this time around. Placebo tells me that it’s applied a crossed the board.

P.S.just sold half of my pedals this week. 7 year user here and I finally, with 28, and a new set of monitors will ultimately sell all but three of my tube amps and all but 5 of my pedals off.

Thank you for making me money, Fractal.

Nothing in the Release Notes indicates a reset is required.
 
Just played around for a couple of hours after updating and it feels great!

Using the Div/13 CJ Boost model, the tone is a bit more open sounding. I had tweaked the Speaker Impedance Curve to add a bit more high end response/sparkle, but it needed to be set closer to default after this update.

I thought it was perfect before, but now it's perfecter. Thank you!

A soft-reset of the remastered models is recommended.

PVH 6160 Block Lead:

After a soft reset I noticed that Negative Feedback changed values. Even after making the same change to the amp block before a soft reset to match the current version, sounds are not equal. There's more going on under the hood that is really nice. (focused)

Soft reset amp block is less shrill in the upper mid section to treble, and more focused less blurry. Right hand now feels like a heavier punch that has sharper focus and more weight.
 
Just updated to the latest FW and played through my beloved JVM OD2 Orange. It sounds a lot more like a CCV to me than it did before. Lots of scratchy kerrang that I kept hearing people say this amp had in truckloads. Felt more "raw" than before. In case you miss the older tones, just change the tonestack to JS410 and it will get rid of the scratchiness. I like it equally both ways. The stock tonestack will work quite well with lower tunings and the JS410 tonestack will get a more "balanced" sound. Either way, loved the update. The other amps sound more stringy and responsive in a way that I absolutely love! Thanks Cliff and co.!

What firmware did you update from?

Those amps were updated in the last firmware and had a recommended reset.
