Axe-Fx II Firmware 16.00 Public Beta (Update: Beta1 Now Available)

Wowzers! Thanks

I would rate stability as moderate to high. The beta testers got it yesterday. I've got about 10 hours on it with no problems.

 

[SarasotaSwing]

Thanks!

 

[Gregmang]

Sweet.


Now I just need to get home to try it !

Time for the traditional question - do we need to reset the amp block as its a point release ?

Apologies if that's covered in the release notes....

 

[xpenno]

Cant tell if sarcastic or reply went over my head, because Cliff's a freaking genius/I asked a stupid question.

No that's numberwang!

nice..gonna try it as soon as i get back home. @Cliff: what else is being worked on?

 

[PerChr]

Gotta love public betas
Thanks Cliff, for letting us test it!

 

[Horganovski]

Couldn't resist taking it for a spin, I don't know if I can hear the difference but I can feel it.. just feels more punchy and dynamic in general. Very nice, thanks FAS!

Beta has been running whole afternoon without problems.
Tried 50+ amps without issues.

Note that the official Version 16.00 will have much more but those things being worked on aren't ready yet. We felt that these improvements were something that shouldn't be kept from the users in the interim.

Oh, and BTW, it was me who borked the main server. Apparently my FTP client has a bug where if you delete a folder that has no name it tries to delete everything.

Thank you Sir

Sounds GOOD !
Some of the "Bacon" is gone.. and i like it

Do we need to reset our amps? I would assume we would since its a major release, but just checking.

Nope. The firmware detects if the preset was built on a previous version and updates automatically.
