I appreciate that you did an update to fix the vox cut and bias setting speed, but you might want to check out the large plate reverb. Every knob is the same as the vox cut or bias was. It's ridiculous. And did you not try the vox model ? I ask because you apparently haven't since the bright switch still does nothing. I even set all the volumes and gain at 1/2 in case it was supposed to replicate the brighter sound of a treble bleed on one of the gain/volume controls.

EDIT: i have removed the text from here down out of fairness. It was about a hum the amp had after this small update to fix the vox cut and the bias controls scrolling speed. I just did a forced update and that took care of the hum so it's only fair i removed it. Still however now i'm getting a ticking sound which appears to be the delay's clock. I usually don't get that tho i HAVE before so i'm not going to attribute that to the update. I'm still becoming disillusioned with the amp, tho not to the point of wanting to sell it i expressed in this post earlier. Had i not been able to eliminate that hum however i was ready to hit up craigslist with a new ad ! That was a deal breaker right there but thankfully a forced update fixed it. Shows the deficiencies of wireless updating tho. If there is a GT V2 i would suggest fender goes to the old USB/cable/download system.

I did yesterday's upgrade and when I saw your post, maxed the Master control. No hum, no ticking and I didn't even do the forced update. Are you sure that it isn't something else, somebody might have put a time bomb under you door ;?)

No, it never makes a loud hum like that. But it's not the first time i have updated with odd effects which is what gave me the idea to do a forced update. The ticking thing is the modulation clock but it usually doesn't do that unless i and standing on the FS cable. The body tends to act as a antenna i guess. But i tried moving the cable all around and it was still doing it. I imagine that IS some sort of external thing tho. The hum certainly wasn't because it never does that and there's nothing new here as far as electronic devices or any changes in the house at all.

The scrolling speed issues that I'd love to see addressed are as follows:

'61 Deluxe amp - tone control
Blackbox stomp - filter
Compressor stomp - gain/threshold/attack/release
Pedal Wah stomp - mix/pedal/heel/toe
Sine Chorus mod - level/depth/avg delay/LR phase
Tri Chorus mod - level/depth/delay/LR phase
Ring Mod - level/frequency/depth/balance/duty cycle
Step Filter mod -level/resonance/lo frq/hi frq
Phaser mod - level/depth/feedback
Large Plate reverb - level/decay/dwell/diffusion/tone
Small Plate reverb - level/decay/dwell/diffusion/tone

And the Basic British 60s bright switch of course!

Hope this is helpful,
PB

Man, c'mon guys. All of these issues still...

If Fender ends up doing the v2 treatment to this amp, I expect a 100% trade-in value on my GT200. Beta-Forgiveness discount...

My 3-30 still makes a better sound with my posted presets that I made under old userid "woodgrain67" than my GT.

Its telling that there is hardly any traffic on this forum save for a core 5-to-15 people.
