Not sure of my ears..... but sure wanting to use improvments rightly as many hereYes, that or use your ears to choose the curve
Even the "closest similar cab" curve is quite likely a better match than the approximation used now, extrapolating on the info Cliff has dropped. Ultimately, you are not required to match it at all, and could find the curve for a vastly different cab is the one that grabs you.But the main of that Fw is not that choosing a cab in adequation with the right curve impedance of the amp ...???
Also , not using the new impedance settings in old and new presets means not using Fw11xx or am i missing something ....So upgrading is only useful if you deal with this parameter ....
The ultimate arbiter of right vs. wrong is your ears, really. Some people like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, others, peanut butter and banana, and it's all good.Not sure of my ears..... but sure wanting to use improvments rightly as many here
I see .... just .... how do you know which settings you need to choose in the amp block when you ve decide if your cab block .??Even the "closest similar cab" curve is quite likely a better match than the approximation used now, extrapolating on the info Cliff has dropped.

Yesssir, Its more open and the character of the preset sounds and feels more accurate to me. More relaxed low mids, smoother highs, and just feels good!Hey man! Fellow Missourian! You just friended me on FB! I'm getting ready to play with this new firmware. So you can tell a big difference with the new curves? I have my own ir's I shot and I wonder how they will react.
Exactly, this has came up in the forum before even in the II days... it would require a bunch of IR producers to be able to understand/take this kind of measurement and then also to standardize on how it is embedded or communicated to users...Ideally an IR would contain two IRs: one conventional IR and one that represents the impedance. But the average IR producer has no idea how to capture the second one.

I tried loading the mesa cab with the jp2c and got a very loud loud pop and no sound at all on any presets after that,once I restarted the axe fx 3 sound came back. I am really curious as to the difference in sound it makes. But afraid to try again after that very loudThere are not thousands of impedance curves. And your existing presets are not altered so you don't have to check anything if you don't want to.
I agree. Mayo = blech, imho....grandpa ate peanut butter, mayo and banana sammiches ... blech
Yes, but back up your preset first before editing and saving in case you want it back, selecting a new curve and going back to null wont get you back where you started. I'm loving the change, I haven't reset a patch so far that I would consider going back to the old curve.I understand that existing presets haven't been changed. And if I create a new preset, or reset the amp block, it will be updated. But if I do want to use the new curve in an existing preset, do I just select the curve I want? Or do I have to reset the block and then select the one I want? I just wanted to verify this before I dive in.
Thanks!
I'm loving this new feature! I think it just opens it up or something! It's noticeable!
I did a quick reamp here: Details in the video description.
Just select the AC20 and pick up one IR from the far-field session #2 packBTW, It would be interesting to try a Far Field IR with an accurate impedance curve and see where we are with the AITR sound.
That's a perfect description! It sounds more 3d and natural. I'm very impressed with this update and it's added "something" extra to the feel. I was playing with the SLO100 amp last evening and it was sounding great going back and forth between null and a 4x12 from Leon Todd of his Marshall cab. Even picking one of the marshall curves they have included with this update - may not be an "exact" match.. but it sounded more alive!Can really hear the difference, one sounds 3D, other sounds flatter.
Most all the commercial Ir's have info about the type of cabs used, so should work equally well on any of them. What I've noticed is changing the impedence resonse for examlpe from Greenback, Checkerboard, TV, Ax etc. really brings out different characteristics from the same speaker.I bought the Fractal Cab Pack 3 by Ownhammer, and I use a lot of Ownhammer IRs from that pack and several other 4x12 Marshall packs I bought directly from Ownhammer. My only concern was if it would work with Ownhammer packs.
I played so much guitar with this FW that my finger tips are absolutely shredded, which hasn't happened in a long time! The tweaks to the Recto's mentioned in the release notes are real nice too.
Leon, can you make a video that explains this update? I’m really confused about the difference between the speaker impedance and the IR. Anyway, I’m a bit lost. Haha
This combined with the existing TM/IR facilities would be absolutely next level!
You mean “bfstplk,” right?Mayo = blech, imho....
