Strymon releases firmware updates and new Nixie version
November 10, 2023 · 1 sources
Strymon released firmware updates for the Cloudburst, Iridium, Deco V2, DIG V2, El Capistan V2, Flint V2 and Lex V2 on November 10, 2023, the company said in a blog post. In a comment on the same post, Strymon said it had also gone live with a new version of its Nixie editor software.
The company said the updates address "some minor issues" and add "some requested new features"1. Owners update through Strymon Update, connecting a pedal by its onboard USB-C connection and pressing Update once a picture of the pedal appears1.
The new Nixie version "will eventually work with all of our V2 pedals," Strymon wrote in the comment. It currently supports the Cloudburst, Iridium, TimeLine, BigSky and Mobius, and the company said more pedals would be added1.
"We actually just went live with a new version of Nixie that will eventually work with all of our V2 pedals!"
