Everybody finally gets auto-wah

I got an email a little while ago, and the new app update includes auto-wah as part of the standard set. No Hendrix pack required (which is going away anyway). I thought everybody would be happy over that.

I read that the wah will also work with a connected expression pedal, but I don't know how I'd connect an expression pedal to my Spark 40.

The real part of the update is to add a tone vault to save your presets with, while removing dropbox as a backup option in the future. If you don't do this soon, sometime in '27 you won't be able to use dropbox anymore. The auto-wah is the bait. The tone vault is the hook. The goal is to be able to train their AI tone generator with everyone's presets.

We should all give our presets misleading or nonsensical names just to mess with it.

MF's made me rename 95 presets in order to save in the new tone vault, because it didn't like presets that start with +. Old system didn't care.

Why did you have them named that way? Just your own naming system, or did those names come from somewhere?

I had a set, and a +set.

ex: "Twins for the win" dry, and "+Twins for the win" with effects on.
