Haven’t upgraded my firmware since 2.9...what to expect?

[Surrealistic Brillo]

So I’ve been enjoying my AxeFx 2XL+ so much over the last couple of years that I realized I haven’t updated my firmware since 2.9.

So...uh...what can I expect if I upgrade to the latest firmware. Is there a compiled list somewhere that I can see what each of the updates do? I was really impressed with the couple of updates I did early on.

Please, fasten your seat belt!

Quantum 2.9 or the original F2.9, which I'm guessing isn't possible since your XL+ would of shipped with something far newer than that....

Not sure...I checked it the other day and it was Quantum 2.something and less than 3.0 because when I updated my AxeEdit it said I needed at least 3.0. I thought I had updated it to at least 3 but I guess I hadn’t.

Thank you much.

You can expect a quantum leap.

Holy cow...I just looked over the release history. This should be interesting.

Close your eyes and will probably think you have a different unit all together

Lots of major improvements. The feel lately has gotten much better in addition to being easier to dial in great tone using mostly basic controls. Back up your presets, then you will want to reset your amp block on your presets and redial them in. Not sure if a soft reset will do (selecting a different amp model, then reselect the desired amp model). This will set defaults on many parameters but not all. Maybe someone from fractal can comment if a soft reset is sufficient. After that redial as usual, and don't forget to visit the speaker comp setting and dial to taste. It should be well worth the trouble. Best luck.

You can expect to be blown away. My suggestions:

• Give notice to your loved ones.

• Gather nutrition and hydration.

• Close the door.

• Get to it, dude.

You will be shocked - You might just as well get you the Axe FX III

I just saw that this morning. I’m going to be selling by AxeFx 2xl+ and AX8 and buy two Axe3’s when they come out and ride out the Axe3 for the next decade.

.... and if you decide to roll back you will release photons.
