Insert the amp block, do a hard reset on it
That's my point. You have to do a reset. As far as I can tell, simply adding an amp block won't give you the new default parameter values.

Did you do the tests to figure out if it gets the values from that preset, vs last ones edited, possibly on a different preset?Take a preset and do a "Clear Preset" from the preset menu, then add an amp block to the grid. When I do that, the amp block still has the parameter values that were previously used in that preset. I find this all very confusing, but I don't think there's any way to get default parameter values by simply adding an amp block to the grid.
To me, it should be an AxeEdit user option to reset blocks when they're inserted. An option because some might prefer the actual behaviorThat's my point. You have to do a reset. As far as I can tell, simply adding an amp block won't give you the new default parameter values.

I use Block > "Reset Current Channel" for hard resets, but ya, would be cool to set an option and have a newly inserted amp always come in with a predetermined desired reset behavior.To me, it should be an AxeEdit user option to reset blocks when they're inserted.

This is the TOTAL preset reset routine:Strictly speaking, I'm not sure there's any such thing as a blank or new preset.
I thought I understood all this until I read through the last few pages. @peteri ‘s post above has been my understanding on this topic. I’m waiting to see where he/I are mistaken.I think people are really making this harder than it is:
1. If you create a preset from a blank preset and don't use blocks library for the amp block- you will have the latest settings
2. If you create a preset from another one, or from a blank preset (but use a blocks library for the amp block), you will not have the latest settings
3. If you do a soft-reset (i.e. change the amp model and then change it back, or use the Axe-Edit 'reset amp' facility) - you will have the latest settings
I've done number 3 on all my presets (saving to a new preset) and the difference is considerable, but worth it
Did anyone reply to this? Wondering the same. I don't trust my ears and would hate to find out I missed everything by uploading the firmware, making a new preset, and thinking I was good but missing a step...
Based on the variety of replies received, I guess my question wasn't as dumb as I thought it might be!
Still confused about the process -- especially after the last few posts suggesting even new/unused preset slots might retain old info -- so maybe I was the dumb part of the question all along...

Not arguing exactly, just trying to understand. So yes, like you never leftFirst day back after 1.5 years away from Fractal and of course everyone's arguing about the newest firmware
It's like I never left
Not seeing a lot of bugs in this beta, and the discussion is focused on higher level concerns, so hopefully it's good to be back. I'm certainly pleased sticking around.First day back after 1.5 years away from Fractal and of course everyone's arguing about the newest firmware
