I'm a layman so couldn't tell ya

Same thing though if someone told me any of the values of these on a real amp. Wouldn't mean a thing to me but all contribute to the toanz

The Blocks Guide explains all of those parameters in detail:

What I mean is, if you have a couple dozens custom made presets on your unit and then load this new update, is there any maintenance required on those presets?

The parameters will be updated upon recall.

I would expect many of presets to change audibly. The only maintenance I could see is a little tweaking if you aren’t happy with the sound of the update.

Layman's terms!



You saying, 1) you load the update, 2) hit a 'recall' function, and then 3) your custom presets are re-adjusted with your tweaks to them?

I'm literally shaking right now

WHYYYYYYYYYY

Layman's terms!

When you load one of your presets, the software will automatically change the settings that were changed in new firmware.

If you decide that you don’t like sound of your preset, you’ll need to dial it back in.

Also, from what I understand, the firmware writes the new settings to your preset every time you pull it up, unless you hit the "save" button.

I'm actually on the road until Tuesday with no guitar or FM3, so...yeah...

The easiest thing to do is just go to Manage Presets in Axe-Edit, select all your presets and hit "Reset amp blocks" in the right click menu. This will reset all the advanced parameters but keep the basic EQ stuff. Expect to still re-dial your presets so it's best to leave the update until you have time to do it.

Only a few days between the official release and the FM9 beta?

I’m am disappointed.

3 to 5 was the estimate from a post on the forum from a member I am pretty sure is a beta

That was probably my post... But I'm an FM9 beta tester, and I have no knowledge of the FM3 beta. And if I did, I wouldn't share it unless it was already shared by Fractal.

Dem's da rules!

Besides, calling someone beta is such a beta move

Pointless (mostly) because the firmware is already resetting the ones the were updated when the preset loads.

The only benefit is that this will save them... But not really required.

Additionally that method will reset other advanced parameters.

Do alpha males only use alpha software?

Alpha Males use Hardware Exclusively

I see it as a "one and done" thing where I don't need to think about it again because they are now saved.

Because they're just tools?
