September 22, 2022 · 1 sources

Poly Effects posted Firmware 325 for the Beebo and Hector on September 22, 2022. The entry on the maker's firmware page carries that date and the name Loki Davison.

The page gives no changelog for 3.25 and does not state what the update changes. The only image attached to the entry shows a tuner screen.

The maker's general update instructions for the two pedals are on the same page. Users check the current firmware in the settings menu, download and unzip the file, and copy the files ending in .deb directly onto a USB flash drive, with no subfolders, before pressing update firmware in the settings menu. The drive must be formatted FAT32 with the files in the first partition. On Mac OS, the maker says Disk Utility should be set to MS-DOS (FAT) with the scheme set to Master Boot Record, and that the default GUID Partition Map will not work. The maker also writes that some USB flash drives do not work and that no drives larger than 16 GB have been tested.

The page carries two warnings. Owners of Verbs units with serial numbers above 500 are told not to update, because those units have newer firmware that older firmware will not work on. Owners on very old firmware, version 1.something, are told to contact the maker before updating.

The page lists no price for the firmware.
