I have to do a full reset on mine almost every time I power it up, or else
it won't go out of bypass mode when I hit a preset switch. I talked to Line
6, and they said that alot of earliest units shipped have firmware version
1.2, current units have v. 1.3, and they'll replace the firmware for free.
To check the version, power it up while holding down the "Tap Tempo"
switch. The A LED will blink once, then the B LED will blink twice if you
have v. 1.2, 3X if you have 1.3.
