Only the Amp block on Axe Fx III at the moment.Is CNFB being used in drive pedal blocks?
True.Only the Amp block on Axe Fx III at the moment.
I'm thinking we may see it the Drives (at least some) but that is pure speculation and Cliff has not commented on any specific applications.

patent applied ?I've finally perfected the "Chase Nonlinear Feedback" (CNFB) method for the modeling of nonlinear networks. And it works amazingly well. Has the accuracy of high-order integration methods with less computational burden.
...
Could be a revolution in nonlinear network modeling.
We decided against that. Software patents are extremely difficult to enforce.patent applied ?
We decided against that. Software patents are extremely difficult to enforce.
So give the algorithm to competitors on a silver platter?Maybe you want to open source it then to prevent anyone else from trying to apply for one ?
Will the patent not be invalid, if FAS can prove their use of it before the application date?Maybe you want to open source it then to prevent anyone else from trying to apply for one ?
If they can. The easiest is to publish it under open source so no competitor can claim it anymore and use the patent against FAS.Will the patent not be invalid, if FAS can prove their use of it before the application date?
We decided against that. Software patents are extremely difficult to enforce.
Even if you decide to open source it, with your current rate of innovation the competition will be still left behind!So give the algorithm to competitors on a silver platter?

You may be right that that's not that much to gain from applying this tech too drives blocks, but I hope you're not. Drive blocks do use quite significant amounts of cpu.Also very much speculation, but I doubt that the same kind of gains can be made in minimising processing "real-estate" while maximising model accuracy, so won't apply quite so much for Drive modelling. Compared to a tube amp and its interaction with a speaker circuit, the important bits of an overdrive pedal's characteristics must be a fair bit simpler. So I agree we'll probably see it, but not sure it can be that far up the priority list. We already have a lot of Drive models, and their behaviour is already all kinds of awesome.

However, I believe the work Cliff did was only the power tubes, not all the various other bits.Also very much speculation, but I doubt that the same kind of gains can be made in minimising processing "real-estate" while maximising model accuracy, so won't apply quite so much for Drive modelling.
