Updated to Quantum 1.02 tonight and my "Y" state amps sounded bad in my presets. I dialed and twiddled for about 45 min and it was puzzling the mess out of me.
The way I have my presets setup is that "X" state is clean, "Y" state is gain. The gain state sounded muffled, no clarity, no balls. I reloaded firmware and no change. I looked at just about everything and was ready to give up, then I saw it. The balance on the "Y" state was set at -59.1. I checked every preset of mine and they were all like that. Changed them back to 0.0 and my gosh everything was incredible again!
The factory presets were fine, just mine had that weird change. Not sure what caused it to do that, but I reloaded the original quantum and the presets I had backed up previously and they were all fine. Reloaded the new 1.02fw and same thing as before with the amp "Y" state being -59.1. And again, it was only on my presets, not the factory ones.
Either way, I changed them back to 0.0 and everything sounded perfect. I guess my reasoning for posting this is for others who upgrade firmware and then everything sounds muffled, no clarity, no balls.. Check the amp block balance parameter because that's what made mine sound bad.
