OT: OMG... latest Axe 3 firmware 5.0 is UNREAL!!!!!!!!!

[Glide-bpm]

Holy crapola... I may never turn an amp on again.... (I'm about there anyway, but
it's serious this time... LoL)... aCk!!!

 

[Boogie]

Do tell! (I could go look it up but it’s more fun with your enthusiasm)

 

[veinbuster]

Yes, explain.

I read it's supposed to better model amps that utilize a cathode follower.

 

[dmatthews]

Were the tones killer?
Is he dead?
People wanna know!

I've heard of some weird fetishes, but a cathode follower? Is that more a medical thing or a bodily function thing?


Edit: I've just been told it's a catheter idiot. As if there are different kinds of idiots.

Les wanted me to ask if by “unreal” you mean it still doesn’t sound like a real amp?

 

[Glide-bpm]

Nah... it sounds like my real amps... it's not that "dithering" bullcrap before it came out type of thing... LoL!

Cliff actually did something you can hear and feel. There were some "triode" parameter adjustments as well, so
not just amp with a CF were affected.

I'm not a fan boy. I like Kemper okay, still have Helix and Helix LT and use the heck out of them. Only
things collecting dust are the last two custom built amps, a few cabs, and a a few pedals I kept.

I was going to wait until at least the 5.0 production release. No, I take that back. I'll wait until 5.03 comes out 3 hours later, then be on the lookout for the 6.0 beta. Y'think that'll be this week or next?

Cliff's seriously on a tear..!

You just made my day.

 

[M.Gilbert]

I can definitely hear and feel a positive difference with 5.0 as well. Primarily with higher gain patches.

 

[You-S4-It]

Finally had the chance to upload 5.0 beta2 and concur. Definitely has more real feel and varying attack makes more of a difference.

Slower.. with more intensity.
It's Suntory time!

Can someone please upload audio to soundcloud or something so we can hear it?
