Well, after all my stressing out about the deleted Xformer Match Parameter in 9.01, I decided to just stay with 9.01 for a bit longer..
I've "replaced" Xformer Grind with Xformer Match (I have been generally setting it to around .500) and I've boosted the "High Resonance" quite a bit as well...
I've also added some "Dynamic Presence" here and there as well.
So far, I've redone 30 of my presets like this, and I only have 50 more to go! Ugh! :-(
Anyway, I can't even remember if it sounds better or worse then what I had before, but I find that my ears are pretty adaptable so I'm sure I'll get used to (and love) 9.01 as time goes by.
I love when we get new parameters, but it's sometimes a bummer when old ones get removed, especially when they have become a integral part of your tone.
Anyway, I know I kind of sound like I'm complaining here, but the way I actually feel in all honesty is:
Cliff works his a s s off on the AxeFx firmwares and then gives it to us for free..
We then have the -choice- to upload, or not...
I choose to upload new firmware, because I would rather go through a huge amount of stress reprogramming my presets, then miss out on Cliff's latest epiphanies!
