Unless I misunderstood, the proces
There's been 10 major firmware updates, all of which changes the sound. If we start having parameters or menu options to revert firmware update changes, it creates for a convoluted interface that you can only use if you know the history of the device and its firmware updates. The Axe-Fx has never been that way so far, and I don’t see why it has to be any different this time around.
The Axe II was this way for awhile, you could select a few older versions of modeling but it was eventually dropped because new better stuff made it obsolete. That happened because of conversations just like this one.
If it consumes Cliff's time to maintain old code, I believe we are better to update our own presets. If it is simple for him to leave the old impedance modeling, maybe that can make things easier for a few.
The new impedance stuff sounds so much better to my ear I'm not sure why anyone would not want to eventually migrate their presets to it?
