PW Ambient Etherial

2 identical snapshots: -, -

These snapshots are byte-for-byte identical — switching between them changes nothing. If you have ever stepped on one expecting a different sound, it has never worked.

FixRepurpose the duplicates (lead boost, split-coil variant) or ignore them knowingly.

2 identical snapshots: DRIVE, DRIVE (+)

These snapshots are byte-for-byte identical — switching between them changes nothing. If you have ever stepped on one expecting a different sound, it has never worked.

FixRepurpose the duplicates (lead boost, split-coil variant) or ignore them knowingly.

cabinet IR high-cut off

This IR is unfiltered on that side: it passes everything up to 12300 Hz — digital fizz territory no speaker reproduces (real cabs roll off by ~5–7 kHz).

FixSet HighCut ~7000–8000.

Each of these sits outside the ear-validated worship limits for this rig:

• amp0.Treble = 0.77 (standard: ≤ 0.68)

FixApply the standard with `hlx.py batch`, then A/B by ear.

ChVol 0.85 is an outlier — your other A30FawnNrm patches run 0.60–0.64

Same amp model, wildly different setting. Often a forgotten tweak; on low-end controls (Depth, Resonance) it silently guts the body of this one preset while its siblings sound full.

FixTry 0.61 to match the rest of your library.

reverb tails darker than the dry sound (5000 vs 8000 Hz)

The wet path is high-cut below the dry path, so the tail of every sustained note is duller than the note itself — heard as high notes 'not ringing right' as they decay.

FixRaise the reverb HighCut to at least 8000, or accept knowingly for deliberately dark ambience.

delay tails darker than the dry sound (3800 vs 8000 Hz)

The wet path is high-cut below the dry path, so the tail of every sustained note is duller than the note itself — heard as high notes 'not ringing right' as they decay.

FixRaise the delay HighCut to at least 8000, or accept knowingly for deliberately dark ambience.

FixApply the standard with `hlx.py batch`, then A/B by ear.

parallel cab paths are unbalanced (HighCut 6500 vs 8500)

Two IRs summing in parallel must agree on level and band-limiting or one path dominates and the blend smears instead of tightening. Different IR models and moderate high-cut differences are fine — level and low-cut are not.

FixMatch IR Level and LowCut across the pair; keep the different cab models.

1 block(s) never engaged in any snapshot: dist1 (DistMinotaur)

These blocks are loaded (costing DSP) but no snapshot ever turns them on. Either free ammunition — a ready-made lead boost or split-coil compensator — or dead weight.

FixAssign to a footswitch/snapshot, or delete to free DSP.

pitch block passes 65% dry signal

Mix below 100% lets the un-shifted note through alongside the shifted one — you hear both pitches at once. On an octave-down 'bass' path this is mud; as a deliberate doubling effect it may be intentional.

FixSet Mix to 1.0 unless the doubling is on purpose.

1 block(s) never engaged in any snapshot: mod0 (TremoloTremolo)

These blocks are loaded (costing DSP) but no snapshot ever turns them on. Either free ammunition — a ready-made lead boost or split-coil compensator — or dead weight.

FixAssign to a footswitch/snapshot, or delete to free DSP.

3 block(s) never engaged in any snapshot: pitch0 (PitchDualPitch), dist2 (DistScream808), mod1 (TremoloTremolo)

These blocks are loaded (costing DSP) but no snapshot ever turns them on. Either free ammunition — a ready-made lead boost or split-coil compensator — or dead weight.

FixAssign to a footswitch/snapshot, or delete to free DSP.

1 block(s) never engaged in any snapshot: dist0 (DistHeirApparent)

These blocks are loaded (costing DSP) but no snapshot ever turns them on. Either free ammunition — a ready-made lead boost or split-coil compensator — or dead weight.

FixAssign to a footswitch/snapshot, or delete to free DSP.

output join at +3 dB vs +0 dB across the library

This preset leaves its mixer stage hotter than the rest of your set. Sometimes a stray tweak — but it can be legitimate makeup gain for a quiet preset, so check by ear at matched volume before 'fixing' it.

FixA/B against your other presets at one volume setting.
