G3 FW18 mini reviewHey all,
Had a chance to fire up a beta version of the G3 modeling this morning. The short review, at least in my opinion, is that it is a big improvement and sounds and feels amazing.
I got in from a show at 3AM and then woke up and gave it a whirl so I am still a bit hazy today. But here are my thoughts. (keep in mind I loved the axe before but this is what I am hearing so when I say it is better that does not mean i was not 100% happy before but facts are what they are).
Highs are nicer and more pleasing (I am going thru an RCF), smoother but also plenty of nice bite that feels and sounds better.
Amps sound and respond like a super cranked amp in the room. What I mean by that is the sustain and dynamics and note separation are killer and remind me of what you get only with volume on a tube amp and pushing the speakers in a cab. it sustains regarless of your volume knob settings and even when you have the gain backed down. In the past I think you were hearing what an amp sounds like when you put your ear to the speaker, which is not as pleasing in feel or tone to what you actually feel and hear in the room. This version now seems to capture that in the room magic but coming thru the FRFR, and still has fantastic dynamics and clarity's or I could just say it is fucking great to play thru !
Volume knob dynamics are fantastic, and note separation which is super important to me is great. I just did a show last note before the update and thought it sounded great, this is better. Sounds better, feels better. More to come as I have more time with it ! another big leap forward for Cliff and team.
