So I know that it is safe to update firmware with Axe-Edit but what about downloading presets to the Axe-FX II?
So anyone know if loading presets is the same as loading firmware?

I also would like to know this. I Asked it allready in 8.00 but never got an answer... Anyone?:roll
No, 2 separate things.
Attempting to upgrade from v8 to v8.01a. Unfortunately, I can't get Axe Edit to launch without crashing since I moved from v7 to v8.
I've powered off/on the Axe, rebooted my computer, deleted the config files in the Mac library folder. I even uninstalled Axe Edit, rebooted the Mac, and reinstalled Axe Edit. It still crashes the second I launch it without my Axe II even being on.
Stumped as to which way to go next. I'm considering downgrading to v7 again if I can get Axe Edit to fire. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the clarification. I'm tempted to wait for Axe-EDIT to catch up, but with 5.04 on my unit, I'm missing out on some great stuff including the 'tone matching'. I suppose I can update and not use Axe-EDIT. I have Sonar to upload the firmware and latest amp-model downloads, as well as send my edited patches that have been backed up in Axe-EDIT, to the Axe II should Axe-EDIT fail (I read about some issues with the latest Axe-EDIT crashing after 8.0 update). Would loading the 7.0 amp-models overwrite my current edited patches?I think the latest amp presets were made for V. 7.0. You do have to load them separately from Axe-Edit or the firmware, but they are on the Fractal download page. Not sure if there will be new presets for 8.0.
Keep in mind the latest Axe-Edit version available is for 7.0, not 8.01a or even 8.0, so none of the amp models added in that firmware will be available via Axe-Edit. You can only get to them from the Axe-II front panel.
Also keep in mind that Axe-Edit can be buggy at the moment, so other than downloading the update, you are better off using the front panel for editing until things get straightened out, hopefully with the official 8.01 Axe-Edit upgrade when it comes out.

So I take it that loading presets via Axe-Edit is not recommended and can end up in them being corrupt, etc.?
RR--with your track record lately I'd stay as clear of Axe-Edit as possible until it gets stable.
Really odd. I just put the manual away about 30 seconds ago after reading that section, then read your message. I'm tempted to hook up via midi and use Snoize to restore v7 which I was plenty happy with. But I'm hesitant only because I've got it working with v8.0 and I have a gig to play Saturday. I don't want to experiment with restoring a backup using Snoize and risk balling it up worse.BigJoeDaddy and anyone else trying to upgrade without using AxeEdit, section 13 or 14 of the manual tells you how to do this. It worked for me. Hope it works for you.
How do you back up to the internal memory?Really odd. I just put the manual away about 30 seconds ago after reading that section, then read your message.

I think I'm gonna sit tight and wait for the Axe Edit release and the inevitable next firmware release.
Scott also reminded me of the onboard backup utility that provides the ability to back up the system and banks to the internal memory. Once I'm back up and running full speed, I'm gonna start making a habit of backing up to my computer AND the internal memory.
How do you back up to the internal memory?
