I have owned my AXE FX for 2 years now and you guys are still giving away "FREE" upgrades for it.

What did I miss?
Nice job, Cliff.
On a separate note; Surely, we must be reaching a plateau with the firmware improvements (I don't mean additional models). For clarity, there must be something] that circuit boards and coding cant reproduce, that is intrinsic to a vacuum tube? At what point do you say "I don't think that I can get any closer"?
The tones that we get, with the latest impulses get us 99% of the way there and nowadays, I cant even tell the difference between the Axe and the real thing. What is left as far as development goes?
There's no reason why the sounds available in the Axe-Fx can't actually surpass what you call "the real thing", so the Axe kind of becomes the real thing, (for those who don't think it already is). Like Cliff say's, the same laws of physics apply in both the analogue & digital realm. It's just as easy to create a BAD sound on the Axe as it is using a Valve amp and a few pedals. One guy's sonic heaven is another guy's idea of a horrid un-musical mess. I don't like those scooped metal 'djent' tones as such, they sound awful to me, but plenty of folk on this forum love that stuff. Whatever floats your boat. But there's less and less room for purists these days as the lines get blurred, and rightly so.
Fantastic update!!!! New delays so great. Thanx FAS
Fantastic update guys! Hats off for the FAS Boost. It sounds so transparent, it really acts like an additional switchable gain stage within the amp. I like!
It means what it says - if you use those amps in any presets, it's worth going into them and bumping the amp up then down again to "refresh" them. Presets are meant to stay as they're saved, so you need to "re-initialise" the amp to bring it up to the new standard.I've never updated FW myself before and I'm on Quantum 1.01 now and want 1.02...
what does "*Note: Existing presets using these amp models should be reset by deselecting and reselecting the desired amp model." mean?
Will downloading the new update not automatically make everything right or do I need to go back in after the update and make changes?
