What size are the proxy files? Maybe they could be shared in the presets thread.

around 30 - 40KB but they are .clone extension which won't pass attachment criteria

@The Colonel what are your thoughts on allowing these extensions?

I can add them as an option to the FAS and Stadium preset thread? .clone is the file extension?

Yes they use .clone. This is awesome.

Done. Test it out and let me know if you are having any issues.

 

[dean701]

tested as working
thanks very much

Yea @brianwahl I went ahead and bought the bundle. So good. Will I get access to the stuff you’ve been doing today once it’s posted?

Proxy will improve for sure but even for high gain it is performing great right now.

Yea this update solidified it for me. This unit is the absolute GOAT.

I had a bunch of "Ok" captures yesterday and thought about it this morning. I usually gain up the loadbox level but it wasn't that hot going into stadium. I cranked it and did a few with the levels basically not going above the green level, riding that top line (I actually tested above the level and its also good but it raises the noise floor so Im not going to go above it unless I have to)

This is the same test as yesterday pretty much. No boost pedal just the EVH 5150iii 50w Ivory RED channel with Gain on 7 which is pretty absurd. These are now excellent results considering its a first iteration and there's fixes and optimisations coming. If it was the final product I might have concerns about it but as a developing thing, this is great.

I can hear differences for sure but its a lot better with the levels being hot compared to yesterdays ones, happy with where its at for this release.

(This is also why I didnt race to make a video about this on day1 for clicks...... now that it's working optimally I can work on some stuff)

I’m pushing the extremes here to see how it holds up so not surprised at some of that kinda stuff. I hate it when I talk this level of gain and people say “but you wouldn’t do that in the real world”.

Even in this case here no I wouldn’t run this amp on this gain here in the real world it’s more of a test. I’d probably have the gain at 4.5 and run a tubescreamer into it with a noise gate.

Obviously that kinda thing masks the results so I’d rather hear the results warts and all.

Oh damn forgot the all important LUFS and NULL tests /s

you guys are gain monsters. I don't even touch the red channel on the EVH and even on blue, as long as there is enough sustain, it can sit around 3.

No, that's not how you do it. Haha

 

[DanRad]

I'm amazed by how much I had just dropping the Orange 3 into an empty preset and wailing away for 15-20 minutes. No other effects at all, just the amp and cab.

And having the focus view active on everything in the desktop is just *chef's kiss*

lol. 2 words. note definition.
I'm old. You're talking to a guy who thinks Limelight is the best guitar sound ever fashioned.
I'll pull the 5150 out for Foo Fighters All My Life and SOTD stuff.

You get pegged by blues lawyers.

That's the Bill&Ted easter egg!

By the way, we think the weird gated thing you were experiencing will be fixed in 1.3.1, hopefully dropping tomorrow.
