i promise i'm really not trying to split hairs here or be confrontational, nor am i judging specific statements or anyone personally.
I'd rather just turn the controls I'm familiar with, and now that's a possibility....
now that the authentic controls are all on one page, the line between basic editing and deep-diving is a bit more clear.
on average only a few basic tone controls are taken away from the Tone (Basics) page with this change depending on the amp. that's why i can't understand the "only now i can..." thoughts, or the "it's so much easier now."
were controls like Presence, Depth and Mids really complicating it so much? i typically hear people complaining about the advanced stuff like Negative Feedback, Sag, Transformer Match, etc. that's all still there in the same place and all not on the "Basic" tabs/pages. that stuff hasn't changed at all.
for example, on many amps, the "Basic editing" we had before had Presence and Depth, where the "Basic editing" now just doesn't have Presence and Depth. i can't see that being such a huge change in simplifying things.
this will be the last i comment on this topic, at least for a while. it just doesn't make too much sense to me. maybe people just haven't seen what's actually changed yet?
i'm just honestly really trying to understand this sentiment.
FAS: 'These advanced parameters you never used are now hidden away'
i know you were joking around a bit, but this sort of shows my point.
the advanced parameters are all in the same place as before. unless things like Mids, Presence and Depth are being considered as "advanced." i can't see those few additional basic knobs as "overwhelming options." the advanced stuff is still in the same exact place.
i swear, i'm just trying to understand!
i do understand having the authentic controls appear. i get it. i don't understand the "wow this is infinitely easier now" thing.
