JVM OD2 Orange old FW



Same with new beta:



The have different reverbs as I forgot to turn the reverb off after installing the beta

Not sure if it's volume difference but it sounds brighter?

The new one sounds better to me. More clarity

I just replaced the "before" with the right volume, good thing I took screenshot of the settings before I uploaded
Harder to hear differences now

And this whole time I thought his mother would’ve looked a lot more like Kim Basinger.

“Improved Amp block output transformer modeling.”

This will help all amps I assume.

 

[Stone]

No one else besides Cliff does this
Kudos to him, his team and company
This is why Fractal has no equal

Agreed the first one is not bad at all just a bit darker
But when you hear that second clip it just has that Marshall bite

 

[Whizzinby]

IIRC @Whizzinby has both

I’m catching up on the thread. I run my JVM treble between 5-6 and presence rarely above 3. (Sometimes even lower) The amp gets crispy if you crank up too much treble/presence.

On the Axe I typically keep the treble around 7 and presence around 4-5, but I’ve never bothered to A/B them.

I was going to offer to send my JVM to Cliff, but it looks like he solved the Hardy Boy Mystery Of The JVM. Once the update is in an official release I can snap some clips of the amp vs model.

Side note: Accuracy is all that matters when your specific goal is to model real world gear, otherwise what’s the point? Original models exist for interpretation and “improvements”, see the awesome FAS amps. But, the goal of modeling should always be accuracy. That’s the entire point of all this.

Marshall, Marshall, Marshall...

That's what my main Marshall patch is called, with a JCM800, JTM45, and Plexi 6CA7. I'm waiting for Cliff to update the hardware so I can have a picture of Jan show up, clearly angered with Marsha.

 

[KingsXJJ]

Yep, modded amps shouldn’t be modeled at all. Further, you shouldn’t be able to switch tone stacks or adjust advanced amp properties not available on a physical amp. It isn’t accurate.

It’s odd that so many years were spent praising the industry leading modeling Cliff has done,. We now know it was inaccurate and so those people were mistaken. Me included.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. SAD!

So, what you’re saying is that you want GIF support added to the Axe-FX display?

Yes. I don't think its a big ask. It's already a color screen.

 

[norminal]

Yes. I don't think its a big ask. It's already a color screen.

I wonder if it would run Doom.

 

[paisleywookiee]

That's my son's thing. Finding things that'll run Doom.

Only the ones with an output transformer...

Repost this at TOP and be prepared for some really stupid comments and questions.

Absolute fucking kickass 80s pinchies

New one feels like less bloat with the same settings, always a good thing

Cliff needs informed people to politely and respectfully give him feedback. He's an engineer.

He doesn't need a legion of brown nosers, hoofing up every vindaloo he's ever post-processed.

Literally nobody ever said any of this. Stop making shit up.
