Amplifi 150 help on banks and presets & physical knob settings

Recommended Posts

I have an amplifi 150, first night messing with it can't find my book, went online to grab Pilots Guide and saw this pdf that showed 25 presets ok, I get how to cycle between A B C D with the preset button, and I have the app loaded on my ipad as well, so i see bank one and these 4 tones, but where or how do I access the 25 presets shown in the pdf?

 

Say if I wanted to hear Bank 17 C Rock: Crunch, how do I get to it, if it's a preset where is it stored, do I need a footpedal to access it?

In the ipad app I only see bank 1 with 4 tones, I see the pdf with 25 banks and each bank has an A B C D but I just can't figure out how to get to them.

 

===========

I also have a question about the physical knobs on top of the amp, if I am in the tone search and find a song or artist I am interested in, say Dio Holy Diver, where do I need to have the settings on the amp knobs to replicate the most accurate reproduction of that tone?  I noticed when I dialed the tone in but moved my knobs it changed the tone considerably, so what marker points should my knobs be at if I search a tone and want to hear as close to what the creator intended me to hear?

 

Sorry if these are such basic questions, honestly I am kinda lost here coming from just basic amps with vol tone gain etc, I want to be friends with this thing but so far I am just not quite understanding it all.

In Ipad I only see Bank 1 and 4 tones (attached screen shot of my ipad) I only even see Bank 1, unless I am missing something am I supposed to see the other banks via the ipad app too? That's kinda what I thought I should be seeing all 25 banks with 4 different tones in each one like that pdf showed.

 

The one thing I wondered was maybe someone erased them? This was a floormodel demo from sweetwater that I just got in the mail, although it seems and looks brand new maybe someone was in there goofing around and erased the other banks?

The app shows firmware 2.0 yep they are paired cuz I can go grab a tone from the tone bank and it will zap right over to the amp no problem, and I can adjust the amp make a custom tone via the app exclusively vs touching the amp itself blue light constant, shows connected in ipad, just in that portion of the app that I screen shot all i see is bank 1 and those first four tones.

 

Not having any experience with these amps or the app are all 25 banks supposed to show in that window that i took a shot of?

Mabye I should try to erase and redownload the app on ipad, I think I even read you could set the amp back to default too maybe try that as well.

 

I saw there was an update to the amp but I think that was moreso to do recording via usb so didn't think i needed to do that (didn't think it would effect my presets).

 

Kinda stumped.

I downloaded the amplifi utility, then updated the firmware on the amp via usb to 2.10 no problems, said successful, then I updated the drivers as it recommended no issues, restarted amp and ipad (which I had deleted and reinstalled the amplifi app v 2.0 on), and now I see on the left in amplifi window my banks but only bank 1 has tones, the rest of the banks all say empty.

Thank You for all the help! 

 

I was about to give up on this thing, I just did the factory reset by holding down the vol and tone button while turning the unit on, then resynched to ipad and finally yes i think it's working, i see the banks and I see the tone names vs empty!

 

By doing the factory reset, do i need to go redo the firmware update for 2.10 again or did it retain that?

I'm having this same problem. I got my AMPLIFi 150 for Christmas. I have the app loaded on my iPhone 5. I see the AMPLIFi factory presets list with 25 banks for each A, B, C, D setting but on my iPhone I only see Bank 1. I reset my AMPLIFi 150 to the factory presets but still see only Bank 1. How do I get the other 24 banks?
