Nicely done Leon. It took me a couple of hours to start to "hear" how I'd want to use both new things. My favorite presets are bluesier, but I do have some nastier solo scenes within them, and that's where I see these shining.
Yesterday I was playing with a 1987x-based sound, for a lead scene, and turned up the speaker drive and suddenly the notes were hanging onto the guitar like the amp was 100 dB and not takin' sh*t. THAT is fun.

Wow, the new speaker drive is totally awesome! I have it at the default value right now and really love it. Also the Dynamic Distortion after the cab is pure magic, these two things are adding the last bit of "feel" for me. Thank you for this incredible update!
A potential bug: Global block for Dynamic Distortion in Axe Edit is not working for me, it does not load the global values but keeps the ones stored in the preset.

Bug? On switch 9 I had an override for a Flanger instead of a Chorus, but filter 3 appears since the upgrade

Confirmed.
Something I am really liking...
Put a chorus 100% mix in parallel and add the dyn dist in stereo after (or before, I prefer after). It does wonders for fine tuning the chorus. It is like secret sauce on chorus

Speaker Drive is a brilliant idea and addition in the FW
If I understand it correctly, this modulates the audio signal generated by the amp, the waveform as it affects a real speaker. The higher the speaker drive value is, the more sluggishly the virtual speaker converts the impulses and additional frequency overlays are added.
Audibly it becomes softer in the lower frequencies and fuller, more focused in the other frequencies.
So it is possible to reproduce the behavior of modern speakers, more towards 0 value and old speakers, more towards 3-4 and more.
Even values from 0.25 influence the sound very nicely.
0= No influence
2= a general basic value
Since different speaker sizes 8" 10" 12" 15" but also different materials have influence on it, it would be great if there will be a table in the wiki that can be consulted.
e.g.
Alino Blue 2x12 = 2.3* SD
Greenback 4x12 = 1.8* SD
*These are just made up values and not real ones.
Edit:
Of course, there are other factors that affect the behavior of the speaker, the shape and type of the speaker, the cabinet, whether open or closed and much more.
Big thanks to FAS for the unequal support to us users.

Or .... just set it where it sounds good.

Wow, speaker drive is such a subtle yet huge change. At the default setting +/- a little the highs just sound so sweet.

I was just about to say that... using Dyn Distortion after effects running in parallel does some nice things. after Delays, Phasers and other types can really add some nice analog flavor to otherwise clean sounding effects...Something I am really liking...

"The block contains a handful of presets which demonstrate the basic technique."
Where are these?

So you are trying to take over the world. Thats kinda what I thought,

But what about other cab block parameters? These parameters like for ex speaker drive are related to the phisycal relation between amp and cab.. The others to the type of cab and speaker.. Am i correct? So my question is ( also posted before) starting from a g12m 25 ir changing for ex low resonance impedance curve etc can i make it become an g12h75?
That was 6 years ago for me 😅
