Neues Major-Release der Firmware seit ein paar Minuten online...?! Version 7 :-O
"Totally reworked power amp modeling. New power amp model is tighter and more defined than before with more “character” and responsiveness."
Klingt interessant. Bin mal gespannt. Ich muss aber leider noch drauĂźen bleiben und auf die Standard-Version warten.

*******************************************************************************
7.00
NOTE: IF UPGRADING FROM 6.07 OR EARLIER THE NEW INPUT VOLUME CONTROL WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE RESET AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE FIRMWARE. SET TO “NONE” TO DEFEAT THIS FEATURE. YOU MAY NEED TO POWER CYCLE THE UNIT AFTER RESETTING THIS PARAMETER.
Added Input Diffusion and Diffusion Time parameters to Reverb. The input diffuser can be used to thicken the reverb tail and delay the onset of the decay. This improves intelligibility and reduces clutter while improving overall reverb sound. Diffusion has been renamed “Wall Diffusion” as this more correctly describes its function
Increased Tuner display filtering slightly.
Fixed active tonestack midrange controls not working properly for some models.
Fixed Mixer not responding properly to Enter button.
Added code to clear Delay block if previous preset was looper and Delay Spill is on.
Totally reworked power amp modeling. New power amp model is tighter and more defined than before with more “character” and responsiveness.
Added Power Amp Bias control (PWR TUBE BIAS in Advanced menu). This parameter can be used to fine-tune the virtual power tubes’ bias points. A value of zero corresponds to full Class B operation. A value of one corresponds to full Class A operation. Values in between are therefore Class AB. For traditional Class AB power amps (i.e. Marshall, Fender, etc.) a value of 0.35 is considered the “optimum” bias point. For traditional Class A amps, (which aren’t really true Class A, i.e. Vox, Matchless, etc.) a setting of 0.75 corresponds to the typical bias value these amps are run at. Lower values of bias increase the amount of crossover distortion, add “hair” to the sound and make the power amp more “explosive” since the transfer function slope increases with input level. Higher values of bias yield less distortion, “rounder” sound, more linear response and a more compressed feel. At high Master Volume settings the effect of bias may be subtle. As the Master Volume is turned down the audible effect is more pronounced. Increasing the Damping increases the linearity of the power amp and also serves to reduce the audible effect of the bias control.
Added “USA MIIC+” models. Both are lead channel models. First model is with pull bright off, second with it on.
Added “Fryer D60” amp models. The “L” is with the gain switch in the Less position, “M” in the More position.
Added “Mr. Z 38 SR” amp model.
Added “Euro Uber” amp model.
Added “PVH 5105” amp model. High-gain input, lead channel modeled.
Tweaked Recto models slightly. Tightened up bass slightly.
Added “M-Zone Dist” drive model.
