My first impression of the new firmware:
I tried the firmware 8.0 with my AKG K-872 studio reference headphones and the first partial Austin Buddys Goldpack update for Bank 1 (marshall style amps) and what I first realised is that it is the first time ever that I hear that sweet feedback on gainy presets when notes or chords are ringing out with digital modeling…..wow! Really impressive...
My Tom Anderson Hollow T Classic with two mini humbuckers tends to produce controllable feedback when I plug her in to my Fuchs Fullhouse 50 combo (what a great amp…) due to her hollow construction (swamp ash top on swamp ash body) and I love that but since Firmware 8.0 I ever thought that no digital modeling could ever reproduce that „real amp feedback“.
And yes, what I also realised is that the overall behavior of the amps sounds and feel is way more unpredictable but in a very pleasant way like a real tube amp.
Thank you, FAS-team!
