Curious about Ares flexability.

Since Cliff has ported over Ares to Axe FxII, etc. I was wondering if it's now possible to translate III patches to the II. Could AlGrenadins FRACTOOL ever be able to convert these? Thanks.

Favorite Q Firmware Version

I know the current, 10.1, is great. But we all have different tastes and sonic tone quests. Which of the "Q" versions was the one that 'nailed it' for you. The one that raised the hair on the back of your neck. For some reason, that I just can't put my finger on, mine was 9.02. It just did it...

What the WHA?

If the WHA block in a preset is 'off / bypased' why does it still engage when it's assigned External pedal is engaged? When this happens you can not assign the same pedal to anything else. Shouldn't a bypassed block in a scene be ignored by it's External pedal? Thanks guys.
