What's new in 1.05

What’s Fixed? - When attempting to save in a currently loaded MIDI preset (MIDI PC#’s 1-126) by re-pressing the BOOST footswitch during the save process, the preset would save to the on-board preset location instead (MIDI PC# 0). - MIDI OUT was always set to ON with all three modes (ON, THROUGH, and OFF). - MIDI messages would only transmit on MIDI Channel 1.

How to update the Strymon Compadre

Compadre's USB port is inside the pedal: remove the four screws on the bottom and connect a micro-USB data cable (charge-only cables do not work) to the internal port, with the pedal powered by its supply. Install Strymon Update (macOS or Windows) from strymon.net/update and launch it: it detects the pedal and shows the installed and available firmware. Select Compadre and click INSTALL UPDATE; when the installed version matches the available version, disconnect the pedal and refit the bottom plate.
