Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta #2 (Cygnus X-3 Release Candidate)

[jaycal6]

Potentially dumb question, but here we go - when I choose a preset using the newest firmware, and it's loading for the first time, should I except the save button to light up (indicating it's been edited)? Or are the new parameters applied AND saved automatically? For me the save button isn't lighting up.

The edited is not lit here, i compared presets and parameters are updated (see list in the release notes)

I just came in to ask the same thing. I expected 'Save' to be highlighted, as if I understand correctly, the stated changes are applied automatically on preset load, but not stored until re-saved?

C'mon. This is a party.

Can't we all just get along?

There is need for a disclaimer at the release notes: New firmware releases can cause maladjustment

Hmm. Seems like it should be? Otherwise how does a user know it has changed and to save it?

Maybe because i used beta2 (public beta 1) before ?... I don't know

yeah, IIRC the version info saved in presets does not distinguish between the various pre-release and release versions of the same version number (25.00 b1 and 25.00 b2 and 25.00 rc are all id'd as 25.00).

No, until beta 3 (public beta 2), the internal version was the same since 23.05... It was changed for beta 3

I feel like the Recto models have this really gnarly thing going on in the mids that they didn't used to have and it's GREAT. They sound even MEANER

Time to revisit my "Load"/re-load presets. Already felt they sounded better than the record before(I'm still on 24.05) Sweeeet

The tone is both cholcolatey, and robust!

This is the way for recto. Fun Fact, I used to prefer my Helix for recto/Friedman tones. Not the case anymore.

Nothing asshole about what you said. Somebody needs their morning coffee…

he's slowly recovering from Cliff calling him a butthole, he'll be ok
Just another reminder that sarcasm rarely translates online... we all love Al and his FracTool!

Are we talking about deserts here or guitar stuff?

erm, what he said was called out, not him per se.

You renamed it to eRecto...?

So, so far what's the general consensus on the new firmware and when can we expect a beta on the FM9 ?

I'm really enjoying it! One of the few rare times that I am happy the new FW automatically updates the necessary parameters (Though I have no need to adjust my settings, for those using high gain amps and wondering why the amp is quieter and/or different volume...turn up your grid bias to your liking or to match your old setting). I think it's a new flavor to the models. FW24 is stellar on its own and with the exception of the new algorithms, if you are 100% happy with your existing presets and tones, stick with it. There is a difference between the two, but kinda subtle. To my ears I am enjoying a little bit of tone shifts I am hearing in the new FW, but would be equally happy if FW24.05 was the last one ever made.

I'm sure people will still find things to argue and complain about.

I just noticed that the nuts that secure the headphone and instrument jacks to the front panel are not rotationally aligned. What's up with that??

 

[JoKeR III]

As a consequence of the new modeling many default parameter values have been changed. Existing presets are automatically updated to the new parameter values upon recall.

I don't know how much more clear it can be. If presets needed to be resaved in order to keep the new values, it would have been stated.

"Heads are gonna roll."

I think even Chucklehead missed that one!

It was stated thereafter, because it was not entirely clear
NOT auto-saved, but seems there currently is a lack of "edited" indication, so it makes you think it got saved.
