I agree about the green scream..something seems to have changed and it's for the better
-
I agree as well. Besides the mix was anything else changed? If not was the mix set not at 100% before?
-
I went for 70-80% mix on all my rigs that use the green screamer and I can definitely tell there's a difference, now I can have less compression in that dirtbox (it was too much before) and still get the transients which to me are what a low gain distortion pedal is all about. No need to include the Timmy anymore!

<p>Green scream is much better now, much more useable for me.</p>

The "Tone knob only works for the first half of the knob" bug that's always been there appears to be fixed, for starters

It wasn't a bug, but was intentional. The tone knob at 50% equalled a Tubescreamer 808 at 100%. It was coded like that to go beyond the original's limitations (the 808 was darker- sounding than all the other Tubescreamer iterations).

Well, beside this, it "plays" smoother, imho.
And i find the same even in the other dirty stomp box.
I think that something has been reworked. And it sounds great! -
does it mean that the sound of my rigs with a greensream will change when upgrading to OS 4?
-
Probably it will but, unless you were using the tone knob over 12 o'clock, you will quickly fix it.

cheers

That may be, but the knob still only used to have any effect up to 50%. You could turn it farther but it didn't change. Now you can use the whole range, and as far as I can tell they just made 100% Tone = 100% Knob.

It is good to hear that you like the tone of our Green Scream.
But we have not changed any aspect of the Profilers sound. And we would never do so without notice.

So... That would mean there's some kind of psychological effect at work here? Mass hysteria.
Maybe people weren't dialing in the green scream right earlier

Or maybe confirmation bias has reared its head again. The confusion over the tone control not reacting exactly the same way as the hardware caused some people to bash the model in the Kemper, probably leading to other users coming to it with a predetermined opinion.

Not required
-
Is it possible that there was more than one bug in the tone control code that was inadvertently fixed?
-
I believe I know what I'm doing and what I'm talking about.
Most people do, that's what confirmation bias is. As an audio engineer, I can't remember how many times I've tweaked an EQ setting, thinking I'm making something sound better, only to realise I'm tweaking the wrong track!

Yep, happens to me as well.
Only way to tell for sure is to reamp a clip with both firmwares.

... provided one succeeds in equally setting the parameters!
