No. No new models, hence the lack of responses. Looks like they have a lot of housekeeping to do before we get goodies. C'est la vie.

@mikah912 The release notes say "Amp: Align models with AxeFX-III".

I see Triple Crest 2 and 3 in the amp list.

 

[Fenderbendr]

Yep, I got the new models too. Make sure you "refresh after firmware update" in FM3 edit.

thats awesome thank you Bryant
one question because you had mentioned the amp block not being equal revision earlier. Will this potentially change the amp tones of current presets

Will do! Sorry for the bad answer @Randalljax

I don't think this release will change the amp tones of the current presets, but I didn't check them all.

It’s still early in the U.S.

It’s the middle of the day. Shut in status notwithstanding, not everyone is checking this forum hourly.

I love that the editor update is aligned with the FW update. If updates occur less often but all the relevant bits work together, that's a good thing.

Anyone know if the Stand in switch on boot up problem is fixed ?

 

[Robboman]

Woohoo! Thanks Bryant

 

[ethomas1013]

The release notes say that it is. Haven't tested it yet.

Edit: Just tested it. It's working.

Updated firmware and FM3-edit. A, B, C, D at the top are correct, but I get all different models showing in the lower left on each channel. Any ideas?

Did you try a "refresh after update" in the editor?

 

[johnnyrocker33]

That did it. Thank you!

I'm getting sort of a ring modulator sound from the Wha block at the upper end of the sweep. It doesn't matter which Wah type I select. It also does not appear to be preset specific, but I can provide a preset if needed.

Works a treat here. Especially happy to have the CC Boost in the amp block!
