Just wanna call your attention to something u may have missed in the V2 firmware. Or maybe it was intended, i dunno. But i saw others mentioning sag and bias and i said neither has worked on my GT100 since the v2 firmware. Well, i just realized why. I have only been using 2 of the new models since i loaded V2 and the sag and bias does not work on either of them, but it DOES work still on the old models. I'm talking about the friedman and bassbreaker models. Just thought u may not be aware and should know.
Also, a lot of the parameters still have wacky acceleration with the data wheel. Not all, but many of them.

I'm with you regarding the sag and bias parameters not working as expected, and the data wheel acceleration still being off. I had posted something similar on the Version 2 comments thread but it's kind of got lost amongst other comments. I also noticed things that appear to be wrong with the Bright settings on some amps, and the looper undo function not working...

I figure there ghave been so many issue they just can't get it all right in any one or even several updates. When an amp has as many issues as this one has had the only way is probably doing a bunch of fixes and then releasing it and going back in and working on more. All at once would mean years before we got a final fix of everything.

I am ok with the sag and bias not working because i'm getting some really good tones, enough that the amp is no longer for sale and thats saying something. At least for now anyways and i don't think that'll change. I would like to see the bias fixed tho because i did find that useful on the old models and might allow even further improvment on the new if it was working.

Interesting... I haven't had any problems with mine, but I will have to test it and post an update then.

I am with you others also about these requests :
the advanced parameters Sag and Bias (or others, also new that at the moment i don't know) have to work in all of the amp models as soon as they are added in a new firmware update .

When recently i read that in GT series you have to use the Sag just in "less" position to get the right amp response dynamics, it seemed to me a real limitation compared to my actual Mustang 3 Vers 2... in a certain sense generally speaking i can't stand something that is potentially available but can't be used fully because a limitation or an issue.

Typical recent case ... in my new guitar,my first serious purchase, an Ibanez AR2619 Prestige there was the tones pots that, for the first time in years of experience, behaved in a strange, not standard way : from dark to totally bright between 0 and 3 and then above 3 don't do anything more.
I will have probably to pay something to the technician because i swapped the tones with the volumes thinking it was a matter of wrong wiring of the potentiometers (Audios in the place of linears and vice versa )... no, it behaved the same also with the (original) linear pots at the tones so I had due admit with the guitar store I was wrong to do it myself (a technical luthier friend actually) and cross my fingers waiting to know if the official service center will be able to find the cause of the problem and make the potentiometers work properly ... i am sure it can't be a wanted behavior by the Japanese builders not just because is ineffective compared to other guitars but also because last december i had the chance to try that guitar model and volumes and tones behaved in a standard way.
Sorry for the off topic outburst.
