Awesome. Let me know if any amp volumes are off as you play through it? I wanna get +PlusPack Bank 1 fully updated quickly - and it should go fast. I finished Bank 2 (new amps) last) yesterday for all three units, but holding it until Bank 1 is done.

Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy 1000+ LIVEGOLD TonePack - Partial Update (Bank 1 Marshalls) for Cygnus X3 firmware update now available

All I can say is I am working on it. Instead of making ya’ll wait for the whole thing together, I do the partial bank updates. I have to listen/play every preset to make sure the new firmware didn’t change it. That takes time and I can’t do it non-stop because of ear fatigue. So far though...

@Joshua_L - thank you so much for that, those kinds of kudos really sustain my work! Cliff and company really deserve a lot of the credit. The firmware is so accurate and great now, it’s never been easier to dial in the precise tones to have in your head now. Of course my 10,000+ hours of...

Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy 1000+ LIVEGOLD TonePack - Partial Update (Bank 1 Marshalls) for Cygnus X3 firmware update now available

Hi @clags — Hmmm. Did you also update the editor to latest version when you updated firmware? This l ooks like an editor issue, not preset one? Definately close the doctor and re-boot everything and see if it happens again. No one else has report this. I’m updating those +PlusPack new amp...

Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy 1000+ LIVEGOLD TonePack - Partial Update (Bank 1 Marshalls) for Cygnus X3 firmware update now available

Yes. I have the FM3 +PlusPack version now available now, with the caveat that it was saved under the new firmware 8 but was made on Feb. 2023 fw 24 Axe-Fx III presets - but it sounds fine so far from all reports. Will have the latest firmware updated versions ready from all three units...

Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy's 1400+ NAKED AMPS TonePack for firmware Cygnus X2

This is good to hear @Fro68 and consistent with the feedback I've been getting from others.... I'm sure there will be a few more amps that need a re-level but it seems like 90 to 95% so far that I've played are ready to rock under the new firmware "as is" although as I touch them I do check...

Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy 1000+ LIVEGOLD TonePack - Partial Update (Bank 1 Marshalls) for Cygnus X3 firmware update now available

Hi @clags - the short answer is yes. The EVH Stealth models are a new Fractal-added amp in 2023 (like the Revv Gen and others). Starting this year, all new amp models (where I have to make a new preset(s), and may use DynaCabs for those) won't be found in LiveGold or Naked Amps, they are...

Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy's 1400+ NAKED AMPS TonePack for firmware Cygnus X2

So far I’ve only played/heard about 30% of the all the Fractal amp models saved in firmware 25 that were originally made under a prior firmware like Naked Amps or Live Gold - but they all sounded great. Back up everything first, but don’t be afraid to upgrade to firmware 25 and use the tool in...

Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy's 1400+ NAKED AMPS TonePack for firmware Cygnus X2

@Dave Merrill -- whoops, I misspoke. o_O Something in my head seemed to recall that a function got added as "re-save all presets in hardware" - but I checked and don't see it as option on the hardware on my III. My bad. Good wish list item though... For anyone else reading this, don't use...

Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy's 1400+ NAKED AMPS TonePack for firmware Cygnus X2

Good to hear @Lkdog! Naked Amps was saved in September 2023 firmware and 95%+ of the amps should be fine on firmware 25 or FM9 firmware 7 - you just have to do the “resave all presets” thing from the hardware (not the preset manager reset the amps) and that will put in the Gapless switching as...

Thanks - will check that out. You did do the FM9 amp save for all presets (save each preset so new stuff loads in plus gapless switching stuff) - just checking?
