Axe-Fx III Firmware 28.02 Release

I am experiencing a freeze of my Axe-Fx III Turbo with all 4 output meters maxed when recalling a specific preset number, at 53% CPU. I noticed this behavior since firmware 28.01, same with 28.02. Didn't check with older firmware. How to tell if it's firmware related or due to a corrupt preset.
What should I do, post the preset here for investigations, or try to overwrite it and see if it solves the problem ? Thanks.

Thanks, Rex. Learned something today :)

I had originally posted the factory preset #29 Mr. Z 38 (it was stock) and when I would switch from scene 5 to 2 or another scene, but 5 to (x) seemed to get it to happen more often it would clip and freak out until the delay tail quit (or that's what it seemed like it was doing). I ended up having it happen on a few other presets, and may have been switching between presets when the delay/reverb tail was still going. May not have anything to do with the actual preset but more switching while the tail is lingering. Not sure if that's what others are experiencing when it acts up but that was my experience. I also think I was on #29 when I loaded the beta FW as well, not sure if that means anything or not since it happened on a few others after the fact.
 
29.00 will be a huge chorus update

The Axe-Fx III has a fantastic Chorus block with a variety of models and amazing sounds.
As an experiment, I dialed in JUST the Digital Stereo chorus ten different ways.



Admissions: 1) I had some of these already in my block library 2) I used some basic delay and reverb to juice things up 3) I used modifiers on rate and/or depth in a few of these 4) Different amp and cab settings across the bunch too.
 
I just Said that because most of the mod blocks got a révision through the years except this one (and that it is my favorite effect too 🙃) . when I want a deep chorus like I have with my ehx pedals I don’t really have it with the axe. It is always sort of « generic ».They're not bad, but they lack something that would make me throw my pedals away.

The Rotary block received a major upgrade a few years back.
I think that was in the axe fx II era, searching the word "rotary" in the release notes pdf brings up just a few fixes and an improvement in the drive algorithm on fw 16.04
