New amps in next firmware...

[sheky]

I am also very satisfied with all the amps we have. However, It would be great if we had the amps with all or most of their channels, cuz some great amp models are "incomplete", for exemple, the Clean channel of the Bad Cat (From what i've heard) Is one of the best cleans out there and I would love to have that onedon't know

I had a hotcat 30. It was the best clean I ever heard.

Added preamp simulation to Cabinet block. The simulations recreate the sound of overdriven channel strips, preamps, tapes, etc. The Drive parameter controls the gain of the simulation. The Sat parameter controls the ratio of even/odd harmonics. The Preamp Mode parameter (on Page 2) allows selecting between Economy and High Quality modes. In High Quality mode oversampling is employed to prevent aliasing but this results in higher CPU usage.

Added “3 Band Console” types to Graphic EQ and Amp blocks.

Added “Fast RMS” detector type to Multiband Compressor.

Added “SDD Preamp”, “FET Preamp” and “Ruckus” types to Drive block.

Changed Cabinet Type parameter behavior so that the value wraps around at limits.

The Flanger block has been completely rewritten. The new algorithms now model the behavior of classic bucket-brigade device (BBD) units (except they are true stereo). Any existing presets will need to be auditioned and possibly edited. The Depth parameter works somewhat differently now and sets the maximum delay time (up to 20 ms). When Auto Depth is not off the maximum delay is reduced as the rate is increased. There are now three Auto Depth values: Low, Medium and High. Turning Auto Depth to Off allows complete control over the delay time. The minimum time is set by the Delay parameter and the maximum time is set by the Depth. Several new Flanger types have been added which demonstrate the new algorithms.

The Chorus block has a new algorithm based on the BBD algorithm developed for the Flanger block. All the “Analog” chorus types now use this algorithm. Several new types have been added which demonstrate the new algorithms.

The EQ page of the Amp block now supports changing the EQ Type using the Up/Down Nav buttons. The type of EQ will be briefly displayed after it has been changed. The type is also briefly displayed when first switching to that page.

Added “DYN EQ” GUI page to Amp block. This page now holds the Dynamic Depth, Dynamic Presence, Character Amount (Char Amt, previously named “Character”)
and Character Freq parameters as well as two new parameters: Character Type and Character Q. Character Type selects between a shelving behavior or a peaking behavior. The previous behavior was always shelving. Character Q controls the bandwidth of the response when the peaking behavior is chosen. The Character parameters now control a powerful dynamic equalizer that can be used to achieve tones and feel impossible with a real amplifier. Negative values of the Character Amount along with a peaking behavior result in midrange scoop where the scoop increases as you play harder. Positive values result in a midrange boost as you play harder. Experiment with the frequency, Q and amount to achieve interesting dynamic response.

Added VU meters to Utility menu. The meters show the relative loudness of the channels. These readouts can be used to help set preset levels to the same apparent volume. For convenience the level of the Amp blocks can be set from this page. Also, the value of the Output Level knobs is displayed in this page for reference (note that this is only for reference and does not affect the VU meters as the measurement is prior to the Output Level potentiometers).

Added “1959SLP Jump” amp model.

Added “FAS Modern III” amp model. Similar to a Recto but with tighter bass and a cathode-biased power amp.

Added shortcut to Ref Solo in first page of Tone Match block. Pressing the Down button will toggle the Ref Solo value allowing one to switch between the reference sound and the local (user) sound with the press of a button.

The level of the USB input signal when NOT routed to the input (when Main Input Source is NOT set to USB) has been reduced by 6 dB to prevent clipping when playing along with tracks that have been mastered at very high levels (near 0 dBFS).

Improved Amp block power supply modeling by accounting for DC sag due to quiescent bias currents.

Changed name of “ODS-100 Lead” and “ODS-100 Lead Mid” to “ODS-100 HRM” and “ODS-100 HRM Mid” respectively to indicate that they are based on the “HRM” version of the ODS circuit. The names of the “ODS-100 Lead 2” and “ODS-100 Lead 3” models have been changed to “ODS-100 Ford 1” and “ODS-100 Ford 2” respectively to indicate that they are based on the “non-HRM” version of the ODS circuit.

Fixed minor math error in Amp block transformer matching calculations.

Fixed wrong CF Comp value in Solo 100 amp models.

All the ODS-100 models have been redone and re-MIMIC’d based on errors found in the models (wrong negative feedback values).

Added “ODS-100 Ford MD” model which is the same as ODS-100 Ford 1 but with the Mid switch engaged.

Added “Rumble HRM” tone stack type which is based on a plate-driven Plexi-style tone stack found in a Dumble “Hot Rubber Monkey” amplifier.

An exact solution has been implemented for the power amp feedback network in the “USA” amp models. As such all these amp models have been redone accordingly with the exception of the “USA Pre” amp models which use a more conventional power amp model. Any presets using these amp models should be reset either by deselecting then reselecting the amp model or by using the “Update Amps Default” in the Utility->Preset menu. Note: due to the unique topology of the feedback network in these amps the Depth control is non-functional.

A “Presence Shift” switch has been added to “USA” amp models. This switch is found under the Presence control and replicates the behavior when the Presence knob is pulled out on these amps. Note that the behavior of this switch is authentic and may result in volume reduction when active since the negative feedback is increased which lowers the loop gain.

Replaced the two 4x12 “Kalthallen” cabs with two UltraRes samples from Cab Pack 7.

Fixed several wrong values in Fox ODS amp models.

Fixed wrong value on input plate network in PVH 6160 II model.

WoW !
This will be a nice one

 

[azertyvince]

Blackstar Artisan 30
Bogner Goldfinger 45
Supro 1624T
1963 Selmer Constellation 14
ToneKing Galaxy Amplifier

It would change from metal amps.

 

[ertan]

Fw17 is the only thing that can prevent me to drink tonight!

 

[Per Boysen]

Wow, can't wait...

For looking into a possible future, it would be nice with a rendering of a Gallien Krueger 250ML!

 

[Guitarjon]

Well, there are some more amps that would be cool for the Axe Fx in my opinion (like the mesa roadking, maybe a bit more Orange and some Randall stuff for the shredders )
But having said that if anything more FAS amps would be even greater because this also gives Cliff more freedom to go where no-one has gone before in the analog world.
I'm sure the possibilities would be endless in that regard.

I don't think that's on the plate for perhaps another year.......

Wait. What?

Touch. And this is an appropriate vessel to explore with.....for hours and hours........ (I go to the post office less than once a year, but goddamn I was rewarded for this trip.)

Steel String Singer

I had a Bludo steel string singer here did some recordings of every filter and my favorite
settings before I sold it.... I also took the voltages... i just upgraded too 17 and all my settings changed
so I have to do this all over again...

What I can say is I used Cliff's ODS and adjusted things off my recordings and got so close that I could hardly tell the difference
between my recordings and the sound I was getting.. hint : change the tubes too 6550s choose a 412 cab with EV12l speakers...
Medium spring reverb...

I was all up inside that amp inside out and I recorded it with 2 mics 57 and nd 468 which turned out great I have not tone matched yet
and as mentioned I just upgraded from 13.4 too 17.00 and everything changed so I have to start all over again.. grrrr

I am dealing with the surf hiss now with 17 so bear with me I will say this I feel I got everyones back on this amp and I know all the filters hi and lo
including every part value in the amp and layout.. You can get so close with Cliffs current ODS I am new to tone matching so dont burn me at the stake please..
I am working on this but I gotta go back and reset everything now cabinets reverb settings amp settings it all changed on the upgrade...

Dont shoot the messenger but start with 6550s medium spring reverb and 4 12 ev 12ls...

I got your back on the steel string singer Cliff if you happen to read this if you put high and lo filters on the ODS I will fill in the blanks...
Merry Christmas everybody bear with me im working on it.....
