It's insane how happy I am with this firmware. Multiple stock presets are totally awesome with little to no tweaking. And while I initially was happy with UltraRes cabs being supported starting with 3.03 beta, with Cygnus now in place, after testing multiple clean and distorted patches, I no longer care about UltraRes. Seriously. Cygnus sounds - and FEELS - that great to me. I can't justify using an additional 5% CPU per cab for UltraRes, and thankfully, so far at least, it's not a concern for me.
Anyone else having similar experiences? Sitting here this afternoon playing my Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas with SD Parallel Axis pickups, into my FM3, into my Friedman ASM-12, I've been auditioning Standard vs UltraRes cabs on the Friedman HBE v1/2, v3, CA3+, 5153, and Bogner Shiva and Uber patches, ALL STOCK PRESETS, and it's all been such ear candy to me that Standard vs UltraRes makes no difference to me in sound or feel. I'm not even spending time with the AustinBuddy LiveGold pack today (mad respect for you though, dude). Haven't been this happy with my rig in a VERY long time. THANK YOU FAS for Cygnus!!!
