Another "update presets" / "toggle amp selection" question
After reading this entire thread - paying close attention to the 'up/down' amp selection and 'update presets' posts - I updated to 15b last night. I ended up with a question that I hadn't considered before. Here's how it went:
1 Downloaded 15b and used FractalBot to update from 14.02 to 15b.
2 The tone of my custom presets didn't have a noticeable change after rebooting the axe2.
3 Performed the 'update presets' function in the utility menu
4 The tone of my custom presets didn't have a noticeable change
5 Used tonemeisters suggestion of "copy the x state to the y state" on the amp block
6 Toggled amp selections on the x state (doing the up/down thing)
7 Woah! Suddenly a wet blanket on my preset tone. All right, what changed?
8 Displayed each page of the amp block and toggled back and forth between the x and y states to find the differences. (great suggestion tonemeister - thanks)
9 Changed the x state values to match the y state where the parameters changed.
10 After changing the parameters to the same values as 'my original settings' the tone between x and y were pretty much identical.
From what I understand, 'update presets' changes the preset 'file' to the new firmware protocol and the 'amp toggle' changes the amp settings to the new default settings.
So my question is as follows:
At what point in my process listed above are the new firmware algorithms actually being "used" by the Axe in processing tone?
I would assume that the new algorithms are already at work after step one listed above.
From what I gathered in reading this thread, my third step - update presets - is not even necessary. My sixth step - toggle between amps - only changes amp parameter values to the new defaults. AFAIK there is no maneuver necessary to "initialize new algorithms".
