Improved detector performance in Multiband Compressor.
Improved detector performance in Compressor block Dynamics mode.
Improved many of the Drive models by applying “G3” techniques. Note that this
may cause significant changes to the behavior of some models. Of particular
note is that the taper of the Drive and Level controls has changed in many of
the models and may differ substantially from previous firmware. Models that
have been fully converted to G3 models are indicated in the name.
Added a new Clip Type to the Drive block. The “Variable” type allows the user
to adjust the shape of the clipping using the new “Clip Shape” parameter. Low
values of Clip Shape give a smooth, focused tone while high values give a
harder, brasher sound.
Improved Amp block power tube plate current calculation. This results in
increased clarity, improved feel/attack and better edge of breakup distortion
texture. The default Power Tube Bias values have been updated to reflect this
change and existing presets will be updated automatically to the new values.
The Output Compressor in the Amp block now features two modes of operation:
Output and Feedback. These modes are set using the new Comp Type parameter.
“Output” is the previous type where the compressor acts on the output of the
block. “Feedback” also compresses the block output but applies dynamics to the
input of the block based on the output compression. The “Comp Clarity”
parameter adjusts the bass response of the input dynamics and can be used to add
clarity to the bass.
Fixed “Thordendal” amp models referencing wrong default tone stack.
