Axe FX III mkII - will my mk1 get left behind with firmware updates? Answer - clearly not. Thread edited due to excessive negativity from one person.

Are the major differences just the rgb and preset space? Any reason i should upgrade from newly bought fx 3 mk1?

 

[notalemming]

How will mk1 be treated now?

The same firmware runs on both.

Doesn't really help me figure out if i should upgrade

Personally have no interest in the new one. Cliff said that there is plenty of firmware space, so I don't think it will get left behind. The last thing I personally need is more preset's and IR space. I also could care less about the LED color changing. The screen is mostly black anyway so who cares if it can show 2 billion colors. I guess i'll cross the bridge when it comes to it, but I've not even got close to needing more at this point. IMHO YMMV.

Pertinent info from Cliff himself doesn't help you to decide???

 

[Doctor Wu]

No. The same firmware runs on both.

So how does the "Increased flash memory for future updates" affect this then?

And my post specifically addressed software updates, didn't it! And, it was a direct quote from the guy who created it, not speculation. Geez.

Dude i dont care. Continue bullying people its the best way to be a human!

 

[AJ Vargas]

There you go:

It's not extra firmware space. There's already plenty of that.

It's extra FLASH for "future expansion". This might be factory or user cabs or some other data. I have several ideas I'm kicking around that would use it.

Giving you facts is bullying? Really LMAO. I can't help if you are so ultra sensitive. As I said over & over again, I posted a fact direct from Cliff. Period. End of story! Good bye!
