Back on 11/22/2014, I sent Chris a later version, in zip form, which I
still don't see on the site. The last version I had developed at Fender
was actually rev 10, but it had a tiny bug in it which I recently fixed,
and bumped it up to rev 11. If it wasn't received, I can send it again.

As to the differences between 9 and 10, I don't have a clear record of
that, but I believe I added experimental support for a faster processor
that used a 24MHz crystal. I don't think there are any functional or tonal
differences.
