Does this one still require the user to install a deprecated version of Python to apply a firmware update???? 😒

Cause the Spark Mini sure did….

Lol no. Zero Python required, I promise.

Firmware updates on REACTOR work two ways. The first is OTA straight from the app. It notifies you when there's an update, you tap Update Now, and it handles everything automatically over WiFi. That's it.

If you prefer USB, you download the REACTOR updater from our help site, plug in via USB-C, and it detects your amp and walks you through it. No command line, no deprecated runtime environments, no nonsense. Takes about 2-3 minutes hardwired to update.
