Re: ULTRA FIRMWARE 9.0 Updated Presets as of 11/16/09
I just wanted to toss this out there....
I think that the new UniVibe sounds simply amazing. The Bulb setting when lowered from its default position really nails what I was looking for. I really appreciate what you did with this update and look forward to exploring it more and more. I have never been too much of a 70's player but, I just have been playing the shit out of the strat I built since I got the update. I can hardly wait to explore the rest of the reworked models.
And because I don't anything to give in return other then my gratitude... I give you guitar porn
Thanks mang =)

Reworked Phaser block and particularly the Vibe mode. The Freq. control in the Phaser block now controls the center frequency of the sweep range (as opposed to the start frequency previously). The range of this parameter has been changed accordingly. Existing presets will probably sound the same but auditioning them is recommended.
A new Vibe algorithm has been written and accurately models the classic Univibe sound. A new parameter, BULB BIAS, has been added to the Advanced menu. This parameter allows you to control the quiescent current of the virtual light bulb used in the algorithm. Real Univive pedals have an internal poteniometer to control the quiescent bulb current. Varying this parameter controls how “lumpy” the frequency sweep beahves. Unlike a real Univibe, the Axe-Fx compensates so that the center frequency doesn’t change with the bias (the bias affect on the center frequency parameter is calculated and removed) allowing easier control of the sweep range. This parameter has no effect in the normal phaser modes.
