One of the most amazing things about the Axe-FX is Fractal's constant drive towards making things better. However, this constant drive can create an issue where dialed in patches may require small-to-large adjustments any time a new FW rolls out. This is awesome for dialing in new sounds, but can be a bit rough if you have a large patch that you spent a lot of time dialing in previously.
I'm curious if some sort of method could be implemented to "freeze" amp tones so that we migrate to new FWs as they come out, without concern for not having time to dial things back in.
I've done this before somewhat successfully with my band by making a recording of a patch's raw amp block after dialing in a tone, and then offline tone matching against that if a FW changes a patch dramatically. It's not perfect, but it gives me the ability to update FWs to try new stuff without having to worry about having time to redial or roll back FWs.
There's probably infinitely better ways to do this, but I'd be curious if some sort of feature could be added where we could store an amp block's dialed-in curve as a "reference" and then match against that reference at a later date, similar to how the tone match block does it. Basically similar to what I'm already doing in my DAW but without having to connect to said DAW.
Thanks for all the great work so far.
