Hi all.
A couple of months ago my AxeFx 3 suddenly lost all its global settings. Last night, the same thing happened again. Fortunately, it was 'only' during rehearsals but nevertheless it is something that should not happen.
On this forum, I found some suggestions on the internal battery, and then I ran into a thread suggesting it could be related to a foot controller sending MIDI data.
As I have a foot controller sending MIDI CC's connected to my AxeFX3, I started some experiments.
My conclusion is: if there is some continuos MIDI data stream happening during the first part of the boot process, the AxeFX3 resets all global settings to its default values.
Here is how to reproduce the issue:
I tested it with firmware 22.00 and 23.03, both with the same result.

Here is how to reproduce the issue:
- Connect a MIDI foot controller to the AxeFX
- Select a preset, say 006 - Top Boost
- In the global setttings, change input 2 from stereo to left only
- Turn off the AxeFX
- Wait 10 secs
- Turn on the AxeFX
- The last selected preset has loaded: 006-Top Boost
- Check the global settings and verify that input 2 is still set to left only. This is how it should work
- Turn off the AxeFX
- Wait 10 secs
- Turn on the AxeFX, and while the AxeFX is booting, rock your MIDI continuous controller pedal until the logo appears. Now wait for the AxeFX to complete the boot process.
- Suddenly, preset 000 has loaded. And when verifying input 2, is has been reset to Stereo. Also, the MIDI CC mappings and the MIDI Scene CC have been reset.
I tested it with firmware 22.00 and 23.03, both with the same result.
