Is there a big difference between 9.x and 10.x firmware presets. I mean, if i download a preset, that is done with 9.x firmware, will it sound a lot different when my Axe is on 10.x firmware?

Ok, no offense then. I wish I could find an IR that is clean enough by itself, and I really, really tried. Cleaning up IRs and miced cabs isn't deforming them, it's mostly removing strident frequencies and is necessary to sit in a clear mix. The IRs keep their character, I don't turn them into the same one. Of course a clear mix isn't mandatory and up to the artist.
I'm thinking of doing a factory reset on my axe, I must have some settings wrong, any presets such as bulb or nollys patches just sound muddy and crap until i do so much tweaking that it's not even close to their original sound anymore haha, and i'm finding it nearly impossible to get a satisfactory bass tone! global gain is default, poweramp sim is on.
Btw how does one load user IR's into the list?
I went axemanage, found the IR, dragged it into slot 1 and it's now called unknown but doesn't translate into any actual sound when put into the cab selection :S
EDIT: Just did a system reset in utilities then redownloaded nolly and mishas patches, got the same thing, just sounds crap D: what am i doing wrong?
Periphery presets were done with FW9, are you on FW10?
Yeah, i downloaded those periphery patches and they sound like poop in fw 10.5 to me. For example Fremens fw 10 bank files (A, B, C) have some super nice patches.
So it seems that patches, that have been done with earlier fw, don't sound that good in fw10?
ya I did too, sounds great , even with the stock OH V30 cab (which is what I used) sound good thru the MAtrix->cab tooYeah the FAS Modern II is pretty awesome; jammed on it for about an hour tonight.
Is some hiss to be expected in a live metal tone?
Depends on the source..
The aliasing fizz : a frequent problem with amp simulators, it occurs at almost 10khz, just put a tight "notch" filter at 9800hz right after the amp, in // of the signal.
The preamp fizz : the Ultra's preamp gain is poorly emulated, just crank the master and bias, add some thump if the bottom gets out of control, put the tonestack at the "end" and try to avoid unnecessary preamp gain.
The cab fizz : it comes from unbalanced IRs and needs to be post-EQd.
The pickup fizz : a pre-EQ might help.
The psycho-acoustic fizz : when you become so obsessed about it that you end up removing what you need to achieve a great tone.
