I'm tempted to install fw18, but having 4 gigs lined up starting tomorrow, I'm not sure its a good idea... Since all my presets use the ac30tb, I'd like to know how ac30tb users have adjusted from fw17.4 to 18, and how much of a difference there is.. Thanks in advance!
Do it. You'll like the way you sound. I guarantee it.

Thanks for your feedback. Specifically, I'd like to know if it's any different in terms of gain / eq (i.e. will I have to adjust gain and eq to all presets or will they work as they are?). Unfortunately I dont have time to test it before actual soundcheck tomorrow, so I either do it (and stick with it for the 4 gigs) or I dont and wait till I can do a proper A/B test. If I were wise I'd wait, but I guess I'm not...! lol
I would wait until the official release *possibly* dropping tomorrow.
It's great, but there will be a bit more polish to the official...
IMO.
U2 I assume? Don't do it. Gain and Eq have changed and U2 types are particular as the changes are magnified by drive, it, delay, and reverb. However 18 is superior once tweaked which you don't have time to do.
Couldn't resist, I've done it.. I've been messing around with the 2-3 main presets and they do sound a little crunchier, but it felt great right away. I backed up old presets and I'm going to take my laptop on the road, so that tomorrow I can gig with fw18, and if It doesn't work I can go back to 17.4 for the next 3 gigs.

Edo, you are so a humble man.
You are probably the only man (with Mick :encouragement: ) on this planet who can play as good as The Edge himself.
Your sound was terrific already with the pod HD500, and it must be killing with the Axe FX II.
I suppose you will very quickly the tweaking tricks to sound "even better than the real world" !
Going from 17.04 to 18 should be no problem for you.
Thanks for sharing all your tips regularly with the U2 fan community
(and if you ever consider sharing your Axe FX II presets, don't hesitate !)
