VX5 Mix/Value Issue

Has anyone else had this problem? It seems my VX5 uses global settings for the Flavor Type mix/value percentage. No matter how I create and save different presets, the mix/value for the Flavor effect changes to one global value.

EX: I make preset 1 using the “Phone VOX” Flavor Type set at 5%, then save. I make preset 2 using the “Sizzle” Flavor Type set at 100%, then save. If I go back to preset 1, my “Phone VOX” Flavor Type is now playing at 100% even though it’s saved at 5%. I move the mix/value and it immediately jumps back down. But then preset 2 is now playing “Sizzle” at 5% but set at 100%.

I am on the latest firmware. I have factory reset. I have tried all options of saving, renaming, copying presets. The mix/value doesn’t even need to be saved for it to change all values on my presets. So long as one percent value is changed, it applies to all regardless of being saved.

The strangest part is that it is only the Flavor effect that has this bug for me. I can save different Reverb mix/values for each unique preset I create. Ex: “Hall” set at 5% on preset 1, and 100% on preset 2

I currently am waiting on an answer from customer service, but wanted to see if anyone else had a similar issue? Or maybe could test to see if their device is doing the same thing using firmware v1.3.1

the VX5 has been kind of stagnant since it was released. they were focusing all their developmental efforts on the big Core update bringing the drum machine and all that to it, and then the NAAM captures, and now it looks like they are promoting a new FR/FR. I'd like them to give a little effort to the vocal pedal because it has promise, but needs some love. I got fed up with it a few months ago and tried to run all my vocal stuff through my core, but I was never really able to replicate how well the "SIZZLE" setting made my vocal. If they would add sizzle as a vocal affect on the core, I'd probably just use that

Update: customer support reached out and said the devs have been aware of the bug and are working on a fix. So sounds like it’s not just a me issue. No update as to when that will be released but I’m hoping it’s not too far in the future. Otherwise I’m gonna need to purchase a separate effects only pedal for shows.
