Have the new amps been MIMIC'd yet or is that still to come?
Thank you very much for all the work you do documenting this device. It's very helpful.
I'd like to see the internal amp number associated with the amp model in the description or title for the description. For instance, Matchbox D-30 (096), Car Roamer (042), etc. in addition to the list at the front of the collection. Or, perhaps added as a line item? I print all this stuff out and bind it in an "Axe Fx Documentation Master", and as I peruse it I'd like to know where to go or what to use without referring to an index or TOC. Would anyone else be interested in this? If so, I'll edit the WIKI to include those.
I don't think I hear much, if any, difference but the feel is definitely different. It feels a lot easier to play like I don't need to press on the strings as hard.

I was never trying to insult just commenting on another users post. What I said still remains what I meant to say.
All models are affected. The harder the virtual power amp is driven the more noticeable the improved preamp modeling will be.
Before I was treating the models as separate preamps and power amps as though you were using a rack system with a preamp unit and a power amp. I did some tests and noticed that there is quite a bit of interaction between the power amp and preamp in an integrated amp (combo or head). So now the modeling feeds the power supply voltage from the power amp algorithm back into the preamp algorithm. As the B+ sags (and the screens droop and bounce) the preamp is affected as it will in a real amp.
What happens is that as you hold a note or chord the B+ sags. The preamp voltage sags as well but at a slower rate due to all the extra capacitance and resistance between the screen voltage and the preamp tubes. Eventually the preamp voltages sag enough to compress 10-20% depending on the amp. This is a couple dB or so of compression. It's a slow compression though so your pick attack is unaffected.
I don't think I hear much, if any, difference but the feel is definitely different. It feels a lot easier to play like I don't need to press on the strings as hard.
I imagine the low end will be affected as the compression will cause less drive into the power amp and therefore less saturation at the resonance of the speaker.
Using Fractal BotI'm still a complete axe fx noob. How do we do this?
Delay and Multi-Delay blocks feedback parameters now have a range of -100% to 100%. This allows interesting effects via out-of-phase feedback.
are you using Global blocks for your Delays ?Did anyone else encounter an issue with the Master Feedback going to 100% in the Delay block?
Oh my - turned on my amp and it was an insane low frequency oscillating feedback loop clipping OUT1. Scared the hell out of me!
Problem is that now I don't remember what I had the feedback set to before and restoring my backed up patches yields the same results...
I assume this is related to this:
I am, although I had forgotten I was. Is there a known issue?
It is. Affects delays that are global only as far as we know right now. Non-globals should be fine.
The Matchless is awesome!
Seriously, I *love* this new update, and again congratulate Cliff & the Fractal team for a beautiful job of converting the best analog sounds into state-of-the-art digital!
