    Wish New CS per Scene value - "Scene Revert" for Control Switches

    What’s wrong with ‘last’ as a controller setting? Does that not achieve that? You have the choice of (per control switch, per scene) - on, off or last. Last retains the control switch value across scenes

    Bug? (Possible) in 25.00 beta Impedance Curve Selection

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

    Spent a few hours today on it. My experience is that most amps needed redialling in after a soft reset. Not massive. Mainly minor tweaks to gain levels and tone but not major. But as others have said - well worth it, more depth to the sound, sweeter high end too. I did a restore to check...

    First Fractal - FM9 would work, but temped to go for flagship

    I think (not knowing anything about anything), that because you had it set to mute in - for a split/fractional second, when you switch scenes the input 'opens', just for the tiniest of times. However that doesn't happen with Mute FX Out, and therefore you get no noise. Whether it's a bug, an...

    Hi This is an easy fix, change the mute type on the delay block. I've tested it and you're right you do get a small burst of noise if there's a signal present as you change scenes. If you change the bypass behavior from it's current value of 'Mute In' to 'Mute FX Out' (which makes a lot of...
