Hey all.
I have a regular addition G-dec 30, and I switched it to a metal edition by following the instructions on here.

I have gotten bored with it, and am trying to switch it to the blues edition by following the same instructions, but it will not work. I unzipped the files to the SD and inserted into the amp, rebooted, but nothing. Still starting as the metal edition. It wont work when I try to revert it back to the sdtandard edition either.

I also noticed that the "Tap" button is flickering lightly. Don't know if that is indicative of a problem, or if it always did this and I just never noticed.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks Banditt, but unfortunately, that is exactly the instructions I've been following that won't work.
I previously used those instructions to convert my standard G-dec 30 to the metal edition, and it worked fine, but now that i'm trying to convert it to the blues edition, it won't load the data from the SD once installed in the card reader.
I unzipped al the required files, dragged them to the root of the SD, even tried loading up the .UPD file first like it says, but nothing. The amp still starts up as the metal edition.

*Update*

I just re-formatted my SD card and it seems to have worked this time. It's currently loading the presets, so fingers crossed. Thanks for the help.

Cool. That was going to be my next suggestion. But you have it. Hope it works ok. I've switched back and fourth many times with no problem. Once you get the sequence down it will be a quick and painless switch. :wink:
