That's why I feared. Usually, while a machine meet this problem, the only solution is to replace the EPROM. And naturally, to do that, it's necessary to ship the unit ta the manufacturer or the distributor to conserve the warranty.hkh said:I read in another thread that this can happen if I don't let it reboot itself when updating the firmware - but my firmwareupdating was done correctly and it worked all yesterday after updating, so this is a different problem, right?

Now, the question for myself is: What about a unit that fan-modified by myself. The warranty is normally broken because of this mod. So, if that's right, does manufacturer or distributor will be ok to sale only an EPROM and let me replace it by myself?
If yes, I prefer to do that because I'm not enjoy to ship my unit to USA or Germany for few days or weeks...

GummiTZ said:This has always been my biggest fear with the Axe. If a batteri dies in a pedal, I can replace it. I a tube fails or a fuse breaks, I can replace it. Little else will in reality go wrong with a conventional guitar rig, unless you smash it with a hammer or drop it into the floor.

True. But strange thing: It seldom does. The things that most often fail (leads, tubes, fuses, batteries etc) is replaceable within a matter of minutes. If it fails on soundcheck, you can be up an running in safe time before the show. If anything goes wrong with the Axe, just pack it up and go home.
Please, don't misunderstand me. This is not critisism of the Axe-FX in particular, I am merely pointing out the risk which applies to all digital equipment. And when your tone relies 100% on it, it is scary.
I have heard the "always have a backup" quote a million times. But, not everyone can afford (or justify to wife) two Axe-Fx's (a Tech 21 pedal in the bag is not sufficient for everyone).
I think it is of utmost importance to keep stability (software-wize) the highest priority when coding for the Axe-FX. I am sure the hardware is best in class.
