Just look at that list—what an exciting (and massive) update! Thank you so much @m_brown!

 

[IronSean]

Seeing this many changes in one release terrifies me a little, but also glad to see all those updates making it over.

 

[CactusTone]

Don't thank me, thank Matt B. He did all the work.

Thank you Matt B!!!

Ya know …you could pace yourself a little.
Do like Apple with their iPhones; have a ton of updates and new features and release them with one new feature at a time for each new phone.

Thats a big update. thank you.

 

[rickboot]

This is one of the biggest updates I can recall since the Axe-Fx Standard days. Can’t wait to try it out.

Thanks Matt B and everyone at Fractal.

 

[blaggers]

CPU increase on my ~80% CPU patches seems very small as well - great work!

Thanks Matt B and Fractal, can’t wait to try this one!

I didn’t see it in the Release notes, but was just wondering if the Gold Plate reverb made its way into the update?

It did indeed.

Initial impressions include the fact that I have to mess around with the low end much less than before. Not sure if it's real, but in the past I've had to use various kinds of acrobatics, at times, to tame the low end on many amps, but now it seems more clear right from the get go. Also, the top end on some of the Marshall models finally have that almost furious "snarl" that I've been chasing for some time, usually trying to add way too much high end making the tone in the process brittle and, well, generally ass-like.

Pretty sure much of this is just the excitement in me, but everything really does sound excellent based on a short test drive.

Yes, I hear and feel noticeable improvements in the modeling.

Question about this -
"

• Updated many of the Reverb models. Existing presets are not affected. Reselecting the model will load the new default values."

Will saving a current reverb block and loading it again bring it up with UPDATED engines, but old values? Or the only difference in reverbs are the " stock" values selected? Not sure I understand what was updated I guess

Beyond excited for gapless switching and reduced latency! Having Axe 3 and FM9 at the same time I felt like 3 had more bounce to it when playing, when I read about this it all made sense.
Thank you, team!

I'm just starting to record a video where there will be a before/after comparison, so stay tuned

Appreciate it!

quick bug check - when switching to the Mark V Red XT or XT Bright amp models, after moving off the Tone page, it disappears. It should be above Ideal here:

It is there it just a reverb type
Just like the Dual Tape is a delay type

I am not seeing that behavior, the Tone tab label is not disappearing. Did you install the new FM9-EDIT? What OS? I'm on Windows.

Not seeing that, i mean not seeing that Tone tab label disappear. Did you install the new FM9-EDIT?

Same. Also, did you Settings > Refresh After New Firmware @desertdweller?
