@FractalAudio Do you have a Plexi type amp with a Post-PI MV?
I really think there is a lot of squish and dynamics missing in the Plexi models.
Can you look into it when you have some time?

Isn't it possible to move it either pre or post? Or is that just the tone stack?

So are you able to actually change the position in the model? That’s a very cool feature.

Derp, I wrote a whole thing about “Sorrow” because I didn’t read all your post.
I’d use the Rat and probably boost the mids up around 200k, put a compressor in front and possibly a Tube Driver after if you’re not getting the gain/sustain you need from just the Rat. The chorus can go before/after the amp. Those tones are tricky, way less distortion than what the sustain will make you believe, Gilmour works those compressors pretty hard.

Pretty good deal ($350) on a used FC-12 if anyone is looking for one.

Sounds like a major milestone but no real insights into "what" has changed (yet anyway).Yes!

Yeah for some reason the FM updates don't tend to have what was updated in the main post (from what I've seen)

But I'm assuming this
VERSION 10.00 | September 3, 2025
Make Backups - As always, use Fractal-Bot in FM9-Edit to back up your System and Presets prior to upgrading.Upgrading from version 8 or older? Please SCROLL DOWN and read the release notes for versions 9.0 - 9.02
NEW FEATURES & UPDATES
AMP BLOCK UPDATES
● Added “Supro Black Magick” amp model.
● Improved Amp block preamp modeling.
Most amp models have been updated as a result.
Audition presets and adjust as necessary.
DRIVE BLOCK UPDATES
● Improved Drive block by modeling output buffer distortion (where applicable).
● Added “Angry Chuck” Drive pedal model based on a JHS Angry Charlie.
● Added “Guardian Photon Speed” Drive pedal model based on a Greer Lightspeed.
● Added “Paradigm Shifter” drive model.
PITCH BLOCK UPDATES
● Improved intelligent pitch shifting in Pitch block.
○ The Pitch Tracking parameter selects between Off, Chords and Notes. In Chords mode the tracking is optimized for playing multiple notes simultaneously and trades latency for stability. In Notes mode latency is reduced at the expense of stability. In Notes mode simple chords can be tracked but complex chords may present difficulty for the pitch tracker. The Tracking Adjust parameter allows for fine adjustment of the stability vs. latency trade-off.
○ The Pitch Tracking parameter is only available for chromatic shifting types (this includes whammy types). Diatonic shifting necessarily requires playing single notes and the algorithm is automatically set to Notes mode for these types.
OTHER UPDATES
● Recaptured the 1x15 Vibrato verb Dyna-Cab using a new speaker as the old one sounded tired. The corresponding speaker impedance curve has also been updated. Dyna-Cab file update is required.
● Added a global parameter to notify the editor when a refresh is necessary.
● Renamed all “Prince Tone” models to “Princetone”.
● Improved CPU usage for some types in the Compressor block.
● Reduced filtering of rear panel pedal inputs. This allows faster response to rapid pedal movements.
FIXES
● Fixed Gain knob not working in USA MK V Green model.
● Fixed wrong UI for USA MK V Green amp model.
● Fixed Presence knob taper in PVH 6160 models.
● Fixed wrong plate resistor value in PVH 6160 Block Lead and PVH 6160+ Lead models.
● Corrected a minor mistake in the effects loop recovery for the PVH amp models.
● Corrected loss of audio when using Compressor VCA FB Sustainer type with Knee “Hard” setting.
● The bypass mode label 'MUTE' for FILTER and MULTIBAND COMPRESSOR now reads 'MUTE FX OUT'
● 'Neon Trem' type Rate parameter modifier control fixed.
● Fixed compander in Delay block not working correctly due to stack/hold changes.
● DAC configuration error checking on startup added. This attempts to prevent a no-audio or corrupted-audioproblem after power on.
● Fixed pop/thump when switching to/from certain Drive types.

They bundled the release notes in the ZIP file that comes with the firmware now.
