Moin Gemeinde,
bin zwar eigentlich nicht so der FW-Junkie, eigentlich ist heute schönes Wetter und warte normalerweise immer etwas ab ... aber da grad kein Gig ansteht und ich heute eh etwas Zeit hab, hab ich's gleich mal montiert. Mal sehn, was die kann ...

Firmware 15.00 Public Beta
Aufpassen! Ist BETA! Können Käfer drin sein! Backups machen! Helm aufsetzen! RTFRN!
Release Notes:
15.00
NOTE: This is a major firmware release which has the potential to alter the
sounds of presets. The core amp modeling has been improved and most of the amp
models have been adjusted accordingly. It is recommended that any existing
presets have the amp block reset to ensure that the appropriate parameter values
are loaded. This is achieved by deselecting the amp type and then reselecting
it, i.e. if the amp type is Deluxe Verb the amp block would be reset by
selecting a different model, e.g. Dirty Shirley, and then reselecting Deluxe
Verb. This will reset various internal parameters and certain user parameters.
Note that Master Volume, Presence and Depth, among others, are set to default
values when selecting an amp model. See below for more information about
Presence default values. It may be helpful to note the value of these
parameters prior to resetting the block.
Added Variable-Q EQ types to Graphic EQ, Filter and Amp blocks. Many “classic”
graphic equalizers use variable-Q designs which may be more familiar to some
users as opposed to constant-Q filters. In the Filter block this type is
selected by choosing the “Peaking2” type. The Graphic EQ block now has four
constant-Q modes and four variable-Q modes. The Amp block now has three
constant-Q modes and three variable-Q modes.
Reduced amount of pre-trimming on IR capture data as this was causing errors
when obtaining captures of items other than speakers (due to lack of leading
silence).
Added screen warning when unit is bypassed.
Added ability to bypass Mixer block in XL models. This also fixes an issue with
Axe-Edit not reflecting the X/Y state of the block.
Added “MFC ECHO TO MIDI OUT” option for Axe-Fx II XL (I/O->MIDI). Turning this
to On echoes all MIDI data from the MFC to MIDI Out. This can be used to send
MIDI PC and CC messages to other equipment connected to MIDI Out.
Improved Amp block virtual power amp algorithm. The new algorithm improves
realism and offers much more “punch” and a “crunchier” tone when overdriven.
Improved cathode bias modeling. This improves so-called “Class A” amps (e.g. Mr
Z Maz 38, AC-20 Dlx, etc.).
Improved Amp block output transformer modeling by improving the accuracy of the
flux density vs intensity curve (B-H curve) and resulting primary inductance.
Because of this, the default Transformer Drive value for many amp models has
been changed. Existing presets will be automatically updated to the new default
value upon recall.
Improved Amp block feedback network accuracy especially for those amps that have
depth networks. This causes the Presence and Depth controls to interact (as
they would on a real amp) but yields greater realism.
Improved Amp block power supply accuracy. This provides more open, less
compressed response. Because of this, the default Supply Sag for many amp
models has changed. Existing presets will be automatically updated to the new
default value upon recall.
Improved Amp block Hi Cut control accuracy.
Changed Amp block so that Presence control is set to a default value when an amp
model is selected. This is done because many amps, i.e. Double Verb, Deluxe
Verb, et. al., have no presence control and the value should be set to zero for
best accuracy. On the other hand some amps, i.e. Jr. Blues, 65 Bassman, et. al,
have fixed presence networks. The Presence control will default to the
appropriate value for these amps. For amps that do have a presence control the
Presence parameter will default to a value that is deemed typical for the model.
Added Power Amp Bias parameter to Amp block. This parameter can be used to
adjust the offset voltage of the virtual power amp (this should not be confused
with the Power Tube Bias parameter which sets the quiescent operating current of
the virtual power tubes). Power Amp Bias allows the user to vary the symmetry
of the clipping of the virtual power amp. A value of zero produces nearly
symmetrical clipping which will produce very little even harmonics. Higher
values will produce increasingly asymmetrical clipping which increases the
amount of even harmonics. Small amounts of even harmonics can make the power
amp distortion sound “warmer” and more bell-like while higher amounts will give
a “fuzzier” tone. Most amps have some amount of offset and the amp models will
default to a typical value. Note that this parameter is only applicable for
push-pull power amp types. For single-ended power amps the Power Tube Bias
parameter sets the symmetry (as always).
Renamed “Mstr” control in Amp block to “Master Volume” to reduce confusion.
Renamed “Level” control in Amp block to “Output Level” to reduce confusion.
Renamed “Damping” control in Amp block to “Neg Fdbk” (Negative Feedback) as this
is a more accurate term.
Added “CA Tucana 3” amp model based on the lead channel of a Carol-Ann Tucana 3.
Added “Jr Blues Fat” amp model. This is the same as the Jr Blues model but with
the “Fat” switch engaged.
Corrected location of Amp block Hi Cut filter (for models with no negative
feedback). Most of the time this will not be audible but for amps that rely on
phase inverter overdrive (i.e. when Master Volume location is Post-PI) it may be
more audible.
Corrected the Preamp Bias value for some of the Fender amp models. This
parameter will automatically be set to default value for existing presets. If
you have overridden the default value in your presets you will need to re-enter
the desired value.
Because of Amp block feedback network improvements the 65 Bassguy amp model was
completely reworked as this amp has a strange feedback topology. Existing
presets using this model should be reset by selecting a different amp model and
then reselecting the amp model.
Fixed wrong drive level into phase inverter in Plexi 50W and Plexi 100W amp
models (likely not audible but done for correctness).
Fixed wrong source impedance for tone stack in Solo 100 amp models (likely not
audible but done for correctness).
Fixed several mistakes in Mr Z MZ-38 amp model.
Fixed wrong Bright Cap value in AC-20 Dlx amp models. Existing presets using
this model should be reset by selecting a different amp model and then
reselecting the amp model.
Fixed several errors in the Herbie and Dizzy amp models. These models should be
reset by deselecting then reselecting the model.
Fixed wrong Low Cut Frequency in 5153 Green amp model. Existing presets using
this model should be reset by selecting a different amp model and then
reselecting the amp model.
Fixed wrong Input Drive taper and inter-stage coupling cap value in 5153 Red amp
model.
Fixed wrong gain value in Jr. Blues amp model.
Fixed Master Volume and Tone Stack location in wrong default positions in Citrus
Terrier amp model. Existing presets using this model should be reset by
selecting a different amp model and then reselecting the amp model.
Fixed Random LFO generating numbers out-of-range which can lead to erratic
behavior.
Fixed unit crashing when unlinking global blocks for a preset that contains a
Tone Match block.
