They’re the same algorithms.Are the algorithms different / better? For example, is the spring reverb more accurate on the axe iii than the FM3 mark ii turbo?
They’re still the same algorithms.And what about the FM9 in that regard?
i'm a software engineer so I understand source code and compiling for different platforms.They’re the same algorithms.
They’re still the same algorithms.
Think about it this way: a spreadsheet can run on multiple different machines but will generate the exact same numbers on each. A phone, a tablet and a laptop can be used as well as a desktop computer to crunch numbers with the same results.

The core algorithms across platforms, both in spreadsheets and in modeling, perform the same tasks. The icing on top of those, like charts, or as Cliff calls it, "superfluous stuff", doesn't exist, either initially because they're focusing on getting it out and then backfill later, or it's so esoteric it doesn't get ported. We get the cake, but what's stuck on top of it can vary.There's something called #ifdef and unlike a spreadsheet, there's little reason a spreadsheet running on one computer would have advanced capabilities over one running on another.
Currently the Axe-Fx III has a different algorithm than the FM3. The Axe-Fx III algorithm is much better.other than the obvious power differences, dual amps, etc...

Darn these ^^ things. :-/lack of horsepower is making this problematic
We are attempting to port the Axe-Fx III algorithm to the FM3 but the lack of horsepower is making this problematic.
Does this apply to the new plates as well?Currently the Axe-Fx III has a different algorithm than the FM3. The Axe-Fx III algorithm is much better.

The FM9 uses the same algorithms as the Axe-Fx III since it has twice the horsepower of the FM3.

Sorry, I was a bit unclear. I'm asking whether porting the plates is problematic as well. I don't care about spring reverb, I'd play with it for 10 minutes and then forget it exists, but I love plates.Yes. Simply because the Axe-Fx III 23.00 firmware release notes (Nov 2023) say "New Plate Reverb algorithm", and the latest FM3 firmware is from August 2023.
i love plates too but since I play a lot of clean jazz, the historical implications of fender amps and spring reverb is important to me. I realize that the biggest growth segment in guitar amp tech is metal/hardcore and that spring reverb (or reverb in general) is not hugely important...Sorry, I was a bit unclear.

yes but it will never sound authentically like a fender amp with plate reverb. Not an issue for live playing but perhaps worth it to upgrade to an FM9 or axeIII for recording. I just prefer the smaller form factor...The existing plate reverb algorithm in the FM3 is already fantastic. Whereas the spring reverb has room for improvement, in the opinion of mny.
