Anyone else go through some older legacy cabs with the newer firmwares? Pretty neat how many more I'm really digging, but don't really like when I play on 15.01.
in many cases i still prefer older legacy cabs. especially the mix ones. just fit so much easier.Anyone else go through some older legacy cabs with the newer firmwares? Pretty neat how many more I'm really digging, but don't really like when I play on 15.01.

Is the Sonic Drive defaulting to the correct input impedance? In the unit it's defaulting to 1M, but from what I can tell online, the real one is actually 500K. I know sometimes there are different versions of a box where the input impedance changes, so I don't know for sure.
Amazing: works as designed, or as configured by selecting those SICs.What I found is that lowering the Transformer LF works with the Rumble 4x12, but with the Dirty Shirley, 1x12 USA and HiWatt, you need to raise it.
What an update, yet again!
Things that might help to hear a difference when changing between different power tubes:
If you can’t hear a difference, just leave it be
- Preferably use an amp you have experience with, so you are used to how it sounds.
- Play a riff or a lick you really know well. Easier to hear subtle differences that way. If you keep hitting just one note or a chord and keep switching back and forth the differences might not be that audible.
- Sometimes the differences just are not that audible. Can be also a feel thing. That’s why hitting a chord and switching back and forth doesn’t work that well. Playing different stuff with variable dynamics might help you to spot the differences.
- You can use a looper so you can focus more on the sound, but I personally think it’s also important to hear how the different tube types react on your playing while your at it.
Look at the Titel, it’s a official release.Hi Team , would like to confirm is it an official update or only beta version ?
Can someone advise me the feature of each power tube?
Or any web site elaborates those things?
I had VH4, VH2 and Herbert.A few years back when I owned a Diezel Einstein 100w head, I experimented a lot with different tubes.
I could clearly hear the difference between different 12ax7 brands (EV vs JJ vs Sovtek,...)
Changing power tubes between 6l6, 6550, KT77, 6ca7 also made a noticeable difference.
In the Axe, I can't tell the difference. I wonder if this is a volume thing ?
The Diezel was usually set very loud.
If you up the master volume, you may hear more of a difference.A few years back when I owned a Diezel Einstein 100w head, I experimented a lot with different tubes.

It's also possible that there's more random production variation in real-world tubes than in the carefully controlled models of them in the Axe. Some of the differences you heard may be down to that, not characteristics of specific tube types or brands.I had VH4, VH2 and Herbert.
I also could hear clear difference when changing tubes in those amps.
Diezels are known for their sensitivity and quite a big change in sound/feel when you retube them.
On diezel forum it is explained that this is because of it´s unique circut design, IDK.
With fractal, I just laugh how small the difference is when changing preamp/power amp glass ...
I embrace fractal for what it does, read all the tech notes..but then, again, you pull out your amp, change tubes and there is pronounced change, even at low volume.

Thanks!!!Google "which power tubes".
We don't have an Einstein model in the Axe so maybe the Einstein is an amp that's more sensitive to tubes than other amps. It's the only thing I can think of.A few years back when I owned a Diezel Einstein 100w head, I experimented a lot with different tubes.

Ahh, yes. Good old Sigmoid Freud.
