That still happens to me an awful lot! But at least now I've got the presence of mind to check it before I start freaking out.

It has happened to every single one of us at least once, sometimes more than that.

Exactly! When I experience any "technical" issues I now assume it is something I
am doing, or overlooking, or have missed.

When I find something off I check the Floor Unit right away as my cat loves to play around and screw up my settings lol

Anyone know how to simulate the bold/spongy switch and the tube vs ss rectifier in the rectifier models? I expect it was all modeled with bold and Ss, but I also like the spongy and tube recifier modes.

Bold/spongy in the Mark V is achieved by dropping the voltage down, similar to a variac. I think 90V is what it is. As for the different rectifier circuits, that would be controlled by sag. Tube rectifiers=more sag, diodes=less. That will get you in the ballpark.

You are correct Leon simulated it by using Variac
Also increasing SAG slightly, I believe

Pimp my Recto on his channel

I love the 800s, but I have moved to the 50W Plexi since my Di Meola Deep Dive. It
never sounds or feels bad to me. Outside of a few songs we played last night in
drop C where I switch to the Mark IV and use the Virtual Capo I stayed on the 50W
Plexi all night. No clean channels. No edge of break up mid-gainers. Not necessary.
I bet I could do an handful of genres in a night and nail them with that amp model.


Oh, and my Tone stack is no Treble, Bass and Mids crancked. Looks dumb and sounds epic!

I use the Plexi models for everything from clean to metal (with a a tube screamer boost). Damn near perfect for me.

Yeah this model is absolute fire. Between that and the JVM OD1 Orange it covers about 90% of the gained up tones I like.

Finally installed the new Axe Edit...I'm a little torn. The blue looks kinda cool, but it's also a bit loud and distracting.

I hate it tbh. I hated the cyan colour additions with the previous firmware too.

Anyone update the FM9 latest Beta? I'm curious to try out a few things
Wondering if its Stable enough

Cheers

I've been running it for weeks. No issues for how I'm using it. Sounds glorious.
