Not me. I bought the Axe because I want tones that are as close to the sound of the amps the models are based on as possible, hence I always upgrade when a new update is released.
i'm addicted to firmware 15.07, not the one before, not the one after, this one is perfect -for me -
i try new firmware but always going back to this one
just wanted to know if anybody else use old firmware ? Just curious
thanks all for your answers , seems we are 2 in "pre quantum" lol .for accuracy, i don't want a sound to be "accurate"(BWTcliff said it was 100% at firmware 1 lol) i want a sound that : sound like a guitar amp , a good one ,but most of all inspire me and have some "mojo".don't know what cliff did in this fw15 , but there's something i don't find in Q.xx .good is that we have the choice , i'm happy with 15, i can stay with it.
i was again just curious if other people found "their" perfect firmware and "stopped" there.
and "latest" in not the best in every situation.i prefer a jcm800 over a 900 or a 2000 !
@lauke-lux i have an xl, but thanks for the help , thanks danny danzy too !
I can relate to a lot Danny Danzi's post - tone / preset hoarding, and I'm on Q 1.0
Many presets already made...someday I'll venture into higher FW's.
Grab it, and just see what new stuff you can come up with IF you have the time of course. I think it will be quite rewarding. Between the new stock presets that have been updated, the new wah's, the new amp modeling, more amps and now the drive blocks....it's almost sad to not at least check all this out. Trust me, I'm one that hates change and cringe when I have to redo presets....but this is super cool and worth checking out. You can always revert back!

Hi danny, i try every new firmware, just in case for ME, fw 15.07 is perfect , fits really my taste and can't find the feeling i have playing it with newer firmware , even whith hard tweaking...
always goes back to this one..
.different firmware is now for me like different "amp" as was jcm 800/900/2000 ,still marshall sound , but each one has his "color" his "feeling", but it's not always the last the best for you or me.
of course i lose every "goodies upgrade" (new wah etc) but as a reel "geek" it stop me tweaking the machine and play more too, which is a good thing loool
btw it's not so much about "accuracy" but about "feeling" :
interesting reading about thordendal amp :
"The old Recto models weren't terribly accurate. When G3 came out the models were accurate but Fredrik contacted me and said something like "ahhhhh, I loved the old Recto model". So I took the old Recto models and made them "Thordendal" models."
