Fractal Fanatic
Just installed 9.00 and played with Speaker Impedance on my first preset with a DR. Increasing the value to a certain point starts creating a background squeal artifact (independent of input) that changes with the parameter value. I then tried it on a variety of amps (mostly Fenders) and get a similar but unique squeal for many of them. On the Princeton I get a squeal with a value as low as 1.8 but my high freq hearing isn't great and I think it begins earlier.
Attached is a simple preset with all amps set to default. The Speaker Impedance is set above 1.0 and on my unit 5 out of 8 Fender amp models have a squeal/noise artifact. Varying Negative Feedback and Transformer Matching affects the frequency and intensity of the squeal. Strangely, if I remove one of the amp blocks it gets better overall but I can still find settings that have artifacts.
Also attached recording of preset stepping through each scene (level adjusted +24 dB in DAW to make it very audible). Scenes 1-5 have squeal while 6-8 don't.
Can others confirm?
