I went back too. 4.01 just sounds a lot better to me for the sounds I'm going for. That's the beauty of this thing really, if the new FW doesn't work as well for you then just use the old one.......maybe the next FW will knock me out and I'll upgrade again. 4.01 works great for me though, so if I never changed again I would be perfectly happy.

I got my Axe FxII today with version 5.2 in to. It sounds amazing man. Very clean and nice. Just had to tweak the motor drive and get the dynamics to 50. Did wonders with the tone for me.I have to agree with Peter. I like the dynamics but don't like the sound at all of V5. Way too much low mids that I can't seem to get rid of. I played it last weekend at a rehearsal (we are a trio) & both the bass player & drummer said it sounded muddy & not as clear as before. I also had feedback issues that I have never had before with the Axe or my Triaxis rig. I tried all the suggestions I could find here but no luck. I hope V6 is the sound of 4 (or better) & the dynamics of V5!

All raising the dynamics does is add more compression. That's not going to solve my problem & I don't use the speaker sims as I play through a tube power amp & guitar cabs. It seems maybe the Fractal is going in a direction that makes the Axe not as useable this way. I hope not!

Are your power amp sims on or off? If they're on you might want to try switching those off for tube power amps that already add colouring... .
Are you just saying words that you think are facts simply because you think so, or do you have some kind of knowledgeable reason that you say that like it is a fact?All raising the dynamics does is add more compression.

To the OP, Just don't use the advanced parameters until you understand them. I don't get you. It's like just sour grapes because your mentor left. Going back to 4 is your choice and right, as it should be-but unless I am just crazy there are just as many advanced parameters in 4? so, huh?
Also, this debate(of sorts ) has a terrible tone itself. One is not worse than another-the word is DIFFERENT. So for some different is cool, for others, not so much. So, uh big deal. You can load any firmware you want and I would hope before you upgrade to a new FW you have the common sense to backup your presets. So....................................very strange.
