This exact thing is what brought 80% of my 15.x presets back to life and usable again. Still required some very minor tweaks after the reset, but nowhere near the effort it would have taken doing them all manually.Doing a system reset and having that "fix" things does not surprise me at all.
Doing a system reset and having that "fix" things does not surprise me at all. There are a variety of parameters that affect the overall sound that could be set incorrectly either by accident or by a bug in previous firmware. A system reset gives you a clean slate and ensures that the unit sounds as intended. The only drawback is that any changes you've made to I/O and MIDI control assignments will be lost.

I don't know whether it would be a recommendation, official or otherwise, but it's certainly something that should be tried before giving up on the latest firmware.Would this be an "unofficial" recommendation for every FW update then? Or maybe every major version number? Perhaps this will quell the "load firmware 3x to make sure" mentality?
The problem is that misconfiguration in those areas can cause tone problems.Maybe, as a wish list, we can have a system reset option that clears up everything except for the I/O and Midi control assignments (and maybe provide options on those too on which to clear or not).

Is this is an instantaneous process without any prompt to indicate system parameters have been reset? That's what happened to me anyway - the Axe didn't skip a beat. I guess my parameters were all OK to be begin with.Doing a system reset and having that "fix" things does not surprise me at all.
Yeah, I get what you're saying. But by taking out some of the prime culprits, you'd wind up with an option that won't help many people, and will just take extra time and effort.Sure, but what I'm saying is that if the I/O settings and midi are not the culprit, we will have the option of resetting everything else but those. If that still doesn't fix the issues, then there is that last resort of having a total system reset as an option.

I see where you're coming from, and I like having more options. But there are already so many posts along the lines of "What am I supposed to do with all these different ways to reset? What does it all mean?" Imagine the can of worms that would be opened if there were even more reset options.Just an idea... Perhaps the system reset could be enhanced with options to select the collections of items to be reset?
For example... By default, it would select all items that are reset today. But the enhancement would enable the user to override by un-selecting the collections of items they do not want to reset (i.e. I/O and/or MIDI)

I agree. Going over the I/O settings is not a big deal.I would not vote in favor of this.
A reset is what it is. Dividing it into portions only creates confusion.
Good point. That would save some work by restoring larger lists of stuff that aren't as likely to impact your tone. Still have full system backup, but allow granular restores. And the system reset would still be a simple, one-shot deal.However, it would be nice to have a way to export/import the two "big list" settings: custom scales and the MIDI CC assignments list. It would be great if Fractal-Bot or Axe-Edit could backup and restore those separately.
