There are times when @TubeStack sig makes so much sense its almost painful. Reading that thread is one of those times

They’re your words…

I actually should be crediting you, wait a sec.

The Great Reset of 2024 is upon us

Back in 1999 everyone in tech world thought the shit was going to hit the fan big time at 12:00:01am on 1/1/2000.

In hindsight, that was nothing compared to current events.....

Noooo! Don’t give him any ideas! We need him to stay focused on the Amp block. We need more Marshall models!

I think I am glad I have not dug through the Fractal forum too deep lately. It sounds like that thread is something to miss.

From everything I have read on the X-3 update, I am looking forward to the full release of it for the FM9. I don't typically install beta versions so when it gets to a full release, I will install it for sure.

Beware
The Great Reset of 2024 is upon us

It continues now we have a chart to follow , in case you missed it in the past 12 pages

The chart is a good result from what has otherwise been a largely intractable discussion. It nicely summarizes the differences between the two reset methods and communicates that information in a quickly consumable format. I'd rather have a chart than pages and pages of discussion to wade through if I wanted to understand the subject.

The chart for the wiki is excellent and certainly useful.

But I also would like to see some boilerplate in the firmware README that looks something like:

* If you want to update ALL your presets....[here's how]
* If you only want to update specific presets...[here's how]
* [Other uses cases....idk....maybe something like "if you later find that you want to update a specific preset or a specific channel...or whatever...]
* [And some sort of language pointing out that everything will be using the new algorithms regardless.]

Of course, the problem with anything written is that it can be ignored, so maybe the update process needs improvement...

They are still going on about resets. It has to be close to 20-30 pages by now

The thread itself is 51 pages.

The thread itself is 51 pages.

Compared to the 10 pages of the last firmware release thread

Its ridiculous at this point I hope there is a beta 2 coming soon so when that gets released this one will be locked

It is a ridiculous thread at this point. But if you're suggesting there are no ridiculous threads obsessing over stupid shit on this forum, then that's just as ridiculous.

If we are talking amp in the room threads yes that’s valid

 

[Mongillo19]

I do think that thread would crack the top 3 of stupid even here people get their questions answered and the same question that was just answered will be posted 3 comments down and the cycle continues

Me thinks Cliff is freaking out and will just cancel this Update lol

Yeah, reading that thread is like watching a washing machine

I took a brief look at the thread, got thoroughly confused about how one should update the device, and backed out of the thread slowly. I’ll wait until I forget what I read there, then go read the wiki and see if I can figure out what to do. Surely it can’t be that hard really….

I do have some presets I’m concerned about preserving, but it’s mainly the effects stuff I care about. The amp sounds I have are the ones I quickly dialed up upon getting the unit, nothing I couldn’t recreate relatively quickly. And I really want to re-do those anyway.
