NEW FEATURES & UPDATES
IMPROVED AMP MODELING
● Improved Preamp Modelling delivers more accurate harmonic response and better feel.
NOTE: The Preamp Tube Hardness parameter functions differently now. Existing presets are automatically updated to the default value for the selected amp model.
● Improved Power Amp Modeling brings a more controlled low end, especially for non- Master Volume amps.
● Added Suhr Reactive Load Speaker Impedance Curve.
NEW DRIVE PEDAL MODELS
● New “PI Fuzz – Bass” model based on a Deluxe Bass Big Muff Pi.
● New “NoAmp Bass DI” based on a SansAmp™ BassDriver DI.
● New “NoAmp Bass Pre” based on a SansAmp™ BassDriver DI with the speaker emulation bypassed. This can be used into a Cabinet block or as a boost into an Amp block.
● New “Royal Bass DI” based on a Noble™ Bass Preamp DI. The model has been modified with more gain so that it can be overdriven. With the Drive knob at 5.00 the gain is the same as the actual preamp. Also, instead of a Low Cut switch, the model uses an adjustable Low Cut control.
NEW GRAPHIC EQ MODELS
● Added “7 Band Pedal” Graphic EQ type based on a Boss™ GE-7.
● Added “7 Band Bass Pedal” Graphic EQ type based on a Boss™ GE-7B.
NEW SURROUND DELAY
● Added “Surround Delay” type to the Delay block. This type produces “rotating” echoes that seem to move around the listener. The Rotation parameter determines how rapidly the echoes rotate. With Rotation at 100% the echoes will rotate 180 degrees each time (front, back, front, etc). At 50% the echoes will rotate 90 degrees (front, right, back, left, front, etc.). Negative values will cause the echoes to rotate in the opposite direction.
NEW DYNACABS & CAB BLOCK IMPROVEMENTS
● Added “1x8 Princetone” DynaCab™ captured from a 5F2 Tweed Princeton w/ a very nice sounding 8” Jupiter speaker. Added corresponding Speaker Impedance Curve.
● Added “1x12 Black Magick” DynaCab captured from a Supro Black Magick with a Jensen P12Q speaker.
● Added “8x10 SV Bass” DynaCab captured from an Ampeg SVT. Added corresponding Speaker Impedance Curve. Thanks to Mike "Dr. Bonkers" Santasiero for the files from his DynaCab Pack, "Dr. Bonkers 8x10 S Bass". If you like the factory DynaCab “sampler” you can purchase the pack for Cab Lab at

NOTE: Updated auto-impedance mapping in the Amp block to use the new DynaCabs where appropriate.
● Added “Auto Align” switch to the Cab block for DynaCab mode.When ON, individual DynaCabs at any distance are automatically time-aligned to ensure proper phase. When OFF, increasing mic Distance also adds the corresponding delay, simulating real-world microphone behavior where delay increases with mic distance. With either setting, the individual alignment Delay parameters can still be used to add additional delay.
Note that the actual delay can be less than the displayed delay as all IR delays are normalized to the shortest delay (so as to minimize overall latency). The Align tab has been changed to display the delay in ms rather than mm to reduce confusion with the Distance parameters. NOTE: Existing presets will have Auto Align set to ON as this was the prior behavior.
PITCH SHIFTER UPDATES
● A new Tracking Mode parameter has been added to the Synth and Ring Mod blocks. It has two options:
○ Guitar – Default behavior, optimized for standard guitar range.
○ Bass – Shifts detection down one octave. In this mode, tracking works down to approximately F♯0.
● Increased upper range of the pitch detectors to approximately F♯6 (High E, 24th fret, whole step bend).
OTHER UPDATES
● Added On/Off switch for the Metronome. This can be controlled remotely by setting the desired control source in the MIDI/Remote -> Other menu.
FIXES
● Changed name of “1x12 Brit G12M” impedance curve (obtained from a 1x12 CJ11) to “1x12 Div13 CJ11”.
● Fixed wrong value in Deluxe Verb Normal model. Remastered model as a result.
● Fixed a wrong value in Deluxe Verb, Double Verb, Super Verb, Vibroverb, Div/13 FT37, Double Verb Silverface.
● Moved "Mix" tab after "Advanced" tab in Drive and Delay blocks.
● Improved accuracy of Sustain control vs. position in PI Fuzz models.
● Fixed a resistor value in the Blackglass 7K model. Remastered the model as a result.
● Fixed incorrect gain in Colortone Booster and Colortone OD models.
● Fixed Modern Gate type can get stuck closed if input above threshold during boot.
● Disabled preset changes while the STORE page is displayed to prevent “behind-the-scenes” preset changes.
● Corrected Spillover “Off” behavior to prevent a burst in some cases when using Delays and Reverbs

● Fixed a gain issue in the Wah block.
● Fixed a freeze when selecting unavailable Modifier.
● Various other small fixes
