But you do hear that in my recording?I just checked on my Axe-fx III. I am not hearing that either.
Anyone else hears that buzz even with power amp OFF?

I meant when the silverfaces circuits were actually changed, not the drip edge ones. Yes, the grounded power chord was a good thing. As far as Fenders, I have a 66 Deluxe Reverb, a 66 Super Reverb, and a 66 Princeton Reverb (this amp sound fantastic), but never got around to a 60 Twin. That said, I found this Youtube video - - (first amp demonstrating a 60 Blackface. It looks like he is at ~2.5 on the amp and not digging into hard and on the neck PU of a strat. I can hear this breaking up some there. It would be breaking up even more on the neck or with humbuckers. You can hear it break up more when he switches to position 4 on the strat. Also, the distortion would probably be more pronounced with a pick on the high string rather than what is heard with his fingers. I will say that it sounds really good.
Allow me to swim against the stream for a few more posts, I'm losing social credit but the sound is far more important.
Double Verb Normal with Gain = 1.
Power Amp (including phase inverter?) = OFF
I must assume this horrid distortion is coming from the preamp.
Cliff, please continue investigating this lest this firmware reaches the ears of Steve Vai then we're all cooked.![]()
I hear it clearly in your clip (hard to missBut you do hear that in my recording?

), but mine isn't doing that horrid distortion (even with poweramp set off). I can record it if you wish.Yep, SOLO 100 Clean too, with Power Amp OFF.I just noticed this exact type of distortion on top of the ODS-100 clean model.
Please post the preset. I'm not hearing it, even with headphones.I just noticed this exact type of distortion on top of the ODS-100 clean model. It is like having an overdriven channel strip in parallel with the amp sound. I tried changing guitars, changing cables, changing headphones, and removing my mixer board form the signal path. None of those changes removed the artifact. I also verified that I didn't have any of the "air" setting turned on in the speaker block.
Have you measured your preamp tubes?Yep, SOLO 100 Clean too, with Power Amp OFF.
If I have to guess, the cathode follower emulation is toast, although a Twin Reverb is plate driven.
Hmm...
EDIT:
Reflashing the firmware did not help.
There haven't been any changes to the cathode follower algorithm for a long time. Cathode followers distort even at low drive levels.Yep, SOLO 100 Clean too, with Power Amp OFF.

Okay, I hear it on the Solo 100 Clean and went back to the Double Verb. I can hear what is in your example, but for whatever reason, it is not near as pronounced, it is fairly quiet, but I hear it on the attack of the note. Hum from the strat and string buzz was masking it. That is with the poweramp off.Yep, SOLO 100 Clean too, with Power Amp OFF.

Yep, roll back the tone knob on your guitar and use a neck humbucker.Okay, I hear it on the Solo 100 Clean and went back to the Double Verb.

yes, I just tried it with humbuckers and it is a little more pronounced, still not as bad your clip. I can try reverting one of my Axe-fx's to 31.0 a see if it goes away.Yep, roll back the tone knob on your guitar and use a neck humbucker.
It's coming from the Preamp, at least we know that.
