FTLOSM Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 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.

Triryche Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Which few is your AMPLIFi? You can access all the banks with the iPad or foot controller. When a searched tone loafs, the physical position of the tone knobs do not matter But as soon as you move one the preset will mirror it.

FTLOSM Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 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?

Triryche Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Which firmware does the app show? Are you sure you are paired? Th banks can not be erased, unless you roll back to a firmware before they were enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTLOSM Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 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.

Triryche Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 In the app click on AMPLIFi on the left side to get to the hardware's banks. Also, after flashing the fw that enables the 100 presets you need to do a factory reset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTLOSM Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 I deleted and redownloaded the app on ipad, restarted ipad, signed into the app with my line6 acct, seems to look the same, can you verify at this screen (attached image) should I see more than bank 1?

Triryche Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 btw, the 2.1 fw does have a tweak to the headphone out. I would update and do a factory reset. If you have Win 7 or 8 there is a PC utility you can try. It flashes it in a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Yep, that's the screen. Did you do a factory reset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTLOSM Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 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.

FTLOSM Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 No. The factory reset was required to enable the banks. Glad you got it sorted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabake Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
