3.1 is awesome!
I've only played it with Native and on not my floor unit, but things do sound better. More defined/clear/tighter. (or it's just a placebo and in my head lol) ... The badonk model seems to have changed though quite a bit. The recto seems much improved too, but again....might be in my head lol i haven't done any a/b comparisons
I really like the rockerverb model a lot.

They really nailed the Rockerverb it sounds awesome. I have not messed with the new reverbs yet.
I ended up saying F it and nuking all of the presets when I updated then i copied over the handful of the ones i actually use and now there is so much room for activities
its nice that we can swap button colors now. I could not get the rename function to work it just kept resetting back to the default name unless the switch controlled more than one thing and then i could pick one of the items for the name...
I wish you could set all global settings with hx edit as its a bit fiddly setting those on the device,

I have updated to 3.10 as well, the patch notes did say something about increasing oversampling and that it would benefit the high gain sounds especially. Yesterday I too found that it might sound better now, but afraid to say anything incase it was just in my head. @thebeesknees22 I agree. Fuck I'm really hyped now!!!

@AwakenTheSkies - right? I've had too many updates over the years where I thought things were better and people were like "nothing changed" lol, but things do indeed sound better with the increased oversampling. I gave it another whirl this morning with fresh ears after I posted this morning, and it is better for sure all across the board.

Well, I have made a sound test, not exactly as @budda asks but pretty much the same, recently I reamped a song with Native 3.0. Now I reamped it again but with Native 3.10 
, also for the funs I also reamped it through the real Helix LT 3.10. I don't want to downgrade my Helix LT. Hear for yourself.
The patch:
The clip: it's Native 3.0 then Native 3.10 then Helix LT 3.10

See if you can hear some differences!

In my opinion the Helix LT sounds smoother, but you can hear that it might be a gain thing, it shows at the palm mutes especially. Native 3.0 vs 3.10 they are super close, I can't confidently say that I hear a difference.
Here's the audio spectrum for all 3
3.0 Native
3.10 Native
3.10 LT
Also I invite you to post you own clips or tests, maybe I'm not 100% right. @thebeesknees22 did mention about the Recto and the Bandonk feeling different, and I haven't tried those yet myself...
