Takes at least 30 mins.

 

Lots of new cabs - cabs also use far less DSP, and there's an OC-2 now!

[BigRedX]

Any problems?

 

I'll probably wait until the weekend to do this.

Website seems to be down, at least I'm unable to download the installer for Edit 3.50. If someone was successful, can you share it with me via PM? 

 

Edit: the windows installer

Website as crashed completely.

 

I'll wait for the weekend I think!

Updated mine a bit earlier. First attempt was completely unsuccessful, second attempt didn't seem to do anything (did a factory reset at this point and it was still on 3.15), third attempt produced audible clicking of relays in the Stomp and it rebooted. Did a reset, restored global settings and presets only from the first backup. Experimenting will follow.

[fretmeister]

All done.

 

No problems for me.

Will have to give this a go, interested how the boctaver sounds (OC2 emulation) 

[Muppet]

Good for me on my Floor. OC2 is pretty decent! 

[fretmeister]

The new Ambient Reverb is great. It’s not a normal reverb, it’s just something to give a very low level room reflection effect. Like a non reverb amp in a room.

 

Make some dry sounding patches sound more realistic and alive.

Decent update, was just about getting bored with the stomp. The OC2 sounds good enough to me too! Finally!

[Elfrasho]

Great update! Especially the dsp usage reduction for the stomp. Never been an issue for bass, but I always found on guitar that I'd run out of dsp when going stereo! This squeezes a wee bit more out it!

IMHO this is the best update they have done. Some of the Cabs are better than IRs I've bought separately much clearer than the original ones. Only tried the Bass ones up to now can't wait to try the Guitar ones!!
