So last night I saw Misha Mansoor post on facebook about how good fw9 is. He mentioned in the post taking the patch Andy's Message (#123), bypassing the modulation effects blocks, and changing the drive block to the BB Pre for a great jam tone. I imagined a number of you have seen this if you follow him or fractal on facebook. Well, I did this and, as usual, he was right. Its a pretty sweet tone to jam on, and with some tweaking that I haven't gotten to yet, I know I'm going to like this patch very much.
Now, I was also reading last night about some mentioning about going into your amp blocks with the new fw and deselecting and reselecting the current amp basically to reset it I guess. I tried this with Andy's Message, which uses the #11 Plexi Normal amp, and it made a big difference and I'm not sure what changed or why. This surprised me a bit because I know in the past fw updates have had people needing to retweak their patches quite a bit but ever since the beta for 9 was released everyone has said that its only made things better and hasn't made any have to tweak anything to get back to their tone. I agreed with that as well.
So, has anyone else been noticing this with other amp models? Any idea what its done to this one? Any other comments are welcome as well.
(I recorded, created a soundcloud account, uploaded and wrote this quickly all while eating dinner before band practice so forgive for mistakes and the sloppy playing lol)
Heres a couple riffs to show you what I mean:
