I'm running a Jr+ (still dream about a 12+) with Windows 7 professional. I'm running 6.05 as I thought 6.1 would be out soon
I think it was there for only a day or two. It's weird, but they claimed it was a battery replacement. Prior to shipping it to FAMC, Jeff called me at home and spent about an hour on the phone having me try multiple things prior to determining that it would need to be sent in. I thought this was very cool, especially considering I bought the pedal used.
As for the current situation: . I received a message that there was a bug in the firmware that would be fixed for the 6.1 release (no time-frame given), he said that the problem was an IA-MAP forced on page 3(looper) and it should have reset it to IA-MAP #01. My programming (very slightly tweaked version of yours) is working fine according to Jeff. It's been doing what I want. I'm going to make some further tweaks now that I don't have to worry about corrupting the programming on the pedal itself.
As to your blanking out issue that is only reset by powering down the pedal, I had something similar happen. I discovered that one (or maybe 2) of the foot switches would make contact with the back of the case. My simple solution was to use electrical tape and haven't had the issue since. Have you tried to move the channel switch to another physical switch to make sure it is the programming and not the physical switch? Here's a copy of my programming that's only slightly different than what's currently in my pedal.
