In FW21 you get to throw Yngwie out.
Forget about G4 I'm ready for G5!

It's adjustable anyways. You can set the clipping to be harder or softer as you desire. I believe I had it set to "medium" but you can set if much softer if you desire. It depends on the tubes. EL34s are softer than, say, 6L6s but it depends on the brand as well. Each model defaults to a hardness based on the power tubes used.
Personally I prefer a harder distortion since it gives low notes a more "piano-like" quality.
I'm starting to care less and less about firmwares changing how things sound. It seems every three days or so I have an "a-ha!" moment where I figure something out and make an even better patch.
In FW20.01 you can ask Yngwie to pull out all the bling blings!!! :lol
He said they are not compatible....The modeling doesn't need them. Not compatible to me sounds like he can't do it as opposed to doesn't want too
Wow, lots of speculation. This is the state of things so far:
G3 is all-new amp modeling. There are no other changes to the firmware so the effects, routing, etc. stay the same. But the amp modeling is a complete "reboot" based on this analysis thingy I wrote that learns an amp and extracts the pertinent data.
At this point I have only ported several dozen models to G3. It's a LOT of work because it involves opening each amp and doing all the measurements and then doing the analysis matches, etc. It will be several more weeks to port the remaining models.
Does it sound drastically different? No, but it does sound better. Some amps are noticeably better especially the Plexis, Rectos, 5150s and the Trainwreck. The Rectos are very good now. They're smooth yet aggressive at the same time if that makes any sense.
Many parameters have been removed as they are not compatible. Among them: PA Lowcut, PA Hicut, Character Type, Character Freq, Character Amt, Character Q, Voicing, et. al. The modeling doesn't need them.
So stop banging on your F5 key and get back to talking about deflated footballs.
Yes.Question: would the "noticeably better" Plexi also affect the Friedman BE/HBE models, seeing as they're Plexi-ish amps?
