I like 9.04, my test tone is the AC/DC Plexi sort of sound - where you have breakup and compression but can still hear everything.
9.03-9.04 sounds slightly more open and in a way polished to me, I liked it.
For most presets I keep Speaker Comp at 0, but like it for the SRV thing. CF hardness I normally leave at 0.5 but for some amps it does feel better at 0.75.
(the new default).
To be honest the differences now are so small we're way into cork sniffing now, most people apart from the player couldn't tell a difference, and even the player would likely fail a blind test
Haven't had a play with speaker compression yet. It doesn't sound like the kind of thing I should have to worry about.
I'm starting to think I might not be the target market here!
I thought 9.04 was a very small change. I don't feel particularly strongly about it either way, to me it seemed like the low end got a tiny bit fatter on some of my high gain patches. I've seen a post from Cliff saying the compression to low and high end has changed to be less compressed.
FWIW Leon Todd has done a comparison video.
Just discovered the performance mode, which lets you load a setlist in, program songs in and assign them to scenes and patches - so you just tap the song, and it loads automatically on the AX8. Pretty cool!
9.03 brought a significant difference in some of the sounds which I use, particularly at gig volume. 9.04 less so, but still noticeable.

I’m not sure that 9.04 will be the last update. There will be a lead time on the new model, and Cliff might need something to do while he’s waiting.

I've gone from being please with the AX8 to completely loving it, you get every amp matched to a factory cab and with the controls all set to a typically right sounding value.
I bought it on a whim thinking it was a con, but wanting to try it.
Best money I've ever spent
