Jumping from v13.07 to v17.02!

[hillbilly]

I've been blessed/cursed with being too busy to update my Axe-Fx for quite some time and I'm about to jump from fw13 to fw17. I'll do a full backup beforehand and reset all amps after, of course, and I'm braced for the shock and prepared for complete patch do-overs. Got any tips-pitfalls-highlights-advice pertaining to the last 4 major revisions?

You really have to go through the release notes.
Firmware release notes - Axe-Fx II Wiki

Some things:
- verbs have changed and may need adjustment. Spring reverbs must be reset.
- there's a global noise gate setting now in Global menu. Check its setting.
- Chorus and Flanger have changed. Flangers probably need adjustment.
- More EQ possibilities in amp, GEQ and PEQ.
- MV in amps may change to other default setting.
- Some stuf from the Layout menu is now in there IN and OUT blocks on the grid.
- Some stock cabs have been replaced.
- Stereo UltraRes in a single cab.
