Well, this was going to be discovered sooner or later:

Press the 1 and 2 row buttons at the same time.

Press the 1 and 3 row buttons at the same time.

They are the software and DSP versions.

Ravi - Cripes, I remembered that you'd bought a second unit right
after I made that last post! Prior to spending the time to do
extensive sound comparisons between your two units, why don't you
first ask Dave what changes were made? That would at least let you
know what to listen for, and probably save you some time if nothing
else.

oops sorry! I forgot to mention I bought a second Evolver #177, so
has the slightly modified board I guess. I didn't check my first
unit, but I am positive it will say as yours, 1 0 and 1 0.

In any event, based on what DW said, the OS is the first number so
the first and second batches have the same OS. It is just the dsp
number that is changed.

BTW I still have not got around to trying out some pure AB sound
comparisons to see if like patches on both batches sound the same or
not.

I will post some data when I find out. My first inclination is to say
that the sound is different, however I am pretty sure the presets are
tweaked differently on the newer models and of course there are some
different patches, which I should ask dave to make available
individually on his website. Otherwise I am sure we can start our own
patch archive right here.

I did see someone on the Evolver thread on the gas station claim to
have done A/B comparison and found identical sounds and even has
posted some sound patches.
