Hi guys ! Some important information
Firmware 18.02 updates
So, a new firmware is out. As usual, I will update the presets that needs it. Here's my packs list :
Amp Packs : 495 presets (all with the same compressor settings)
Pink Floyd : 21+ 4 presets (will need updates)
Fremen's Picks : 98 presets (some will need updating)
Synthpads & drones : 41 presets (no update needed, no compressor used)
Cleans, ambient & SFX : 61 presets (this is THE pack that will need updates the most, as I use compressor on clean tones 99.9% of the time, so I'll start with it)
Rock & Metal vol. 1 : 73 presets (only a few presets needs checking)
Richard Hallebeek Jazz-Rock Pack : 26 presets (only a few needs checking)
The Brit Pack : 50 presets (maybe a few needs checking, probably none)
Acoustic simulation : 112 presets (all with the same compressor settings)
Boutique + blues : 54 presets (all with the same compressor settings, must check if update needed)
(Damn, I didn't realize I released over 1 000 presets (
even if 600+ of those have the same grid & effects settings, with variations in the Amp/IR blocks only)...)
Now, some more things to consider :
- most of the time, I use the Studio Compressor, which didn't changed. But there are some presets where I used the Pedal models, so those will need updating.
- A 18.02 compatible Axe-Edit III has not been released yet and I never tweak using the front panel.
- most of my compressor blocks have 4 channels with different models/settings, and at least 1 of the channels uses the Studio model, so, a quick fix for everyone would be to select this channel (for all scenes)
- I WILL update all presets that needs it, but don't expect it immediately. Besides Axe-Edit III, my issue is my health. I'm sick since a 11 hours flight from France to Mauritius on the 19/20th November (rhinopharingite and constant coughing). I only played 2 hours of guitar since then, mostly to test new toys (amp & pedals), as I'm saving my energy (I'm very weak). These last 17 days or so have been hard, and very frustrating guitar wise, specially as I wanted to finish my Rock & Metal Vol. 2 pack to release it in the beginning of December (so, no ETA for now). However, besides the quick fix that all uses can uses (checking other channels in the compressor block), I will asap post block files with the new settings, valid for all presets that uses the affected models. Updates of the packs will follow when possible (not later than in January in all cases, and I hope before Christmas for the priority ones).
