je poste ici la courte revue que j'ai écrit sur le FAF, je ne traduis pas c'est très simple.

Les aspects positifs :
_ i like the knew knobs...all knobs! I like the way the quick knobs are implemented. On each page you have access with the big wheel to the selected parameter then the quick knobs control the first parameter on the left and so on...If you move and select another parameter the quick knobs shift.
_ i like the usb port even if a firmware update takes a lot of time.
_ i like the headphones output
_ i like the feel of the amp models. It's more direct and "soft". There is more sustain too.
_ i like the fact that the "nasal" tone is not here anymore when using a poweramp and a real cab. All tones are more balanced.
It's possible to get the same result with the Ultra by using tone matching.
Négatifs :
_ I'v been surprised that except the fact that they sound better into a cab the clean amp models are not different than the ones coming from the Ultra. It means that Ultra + tone matching >= Axe II cleans.
The bassmans model IMO sound weak, the AC30 TB miss character etc...I get better result with the Ultra and tone matching(stock Ultra sounds worst). Of course i can do tone matching with the Axe II.
So if clean models are more balanced (no nasal tone) apart from that (and the feel) they are not better than the ones in the Ultra.
_ the big disapointment comes from the high gain model. They all sound the same. I'm able to recognize for each model into my Ultra the texture of the original. This is not the case here. They have all the same texture or they are so close and by the way i don't recognize the original amps.
This is a bad surprise. I can deal with the clean models but not with the high gain ones. I hope that V6 will solve this issue.
_ the high gain model are too much bright. By setting a lower value into the Hi Res parameter it makes it less bright but when i play into a cab i still get something bright/mushy. The solution is to disable the poweramp section. This is the part IMO which add a lot of brightness.(too much for me)
_ the high gain models gives me a produced sound when played with a poweramp into a cab. The Ultra has a more raw sound.
So i'm waiting for V6, especially for the reworked models.
I'm quite sure that tone matching will bring wonderfull cleans but what about my issue with high gain?
