    [fixed] FC12 Bug: Bank Increment/Decrement Upper Limit Not Saving

    This has been happening to me for the past couple firmwares. My bank size is 4 and used to have the upper limit set to 128. Somewhere along the line that got changed to 51 and I cannot change it back and save it. If I change it to 128 and restart the Axe, it is back at 51. This is inconvenient...

    Wish: Access Preset by Number from FC12

    This exists on other footpedals and I have found it can come in handy. The idea is you have a utility function for preset number (or something similarly named). When you activate this it changes your footpedals to digits (0-9) and an enter button. So if you're on preset 399 and you want to go to...

    SOLVED: Audio Glitches switching between presets
