    Countdown 0.5...

    Agreed. Seems obvious to me that a new hardware unit is around the corner. If not, G66's statement is pretty clever in a way I can't imagine at the moment =) That said; my face will melt if it's the VST.

    Mini Line 6 HD500 Review

    Your theory does not apply to everyone. I have managed to afford an ULTRA twice, but thats because music was all I spent money on. I didnt have a mortgage, children, other hobbies. Still the axefx purchases were hard to justify, it really was a jump, partially because if you're to use the AFX...

    Mini Line 6 HD500 Review

    Depends a bit on where you live. Where I live (norway) it did cost a fortune to get an axefx because of all sorts of fees and shipping costs. Even though we have G66, it still was cheaper for me to get it directly from Fractal.

    I think this is the main reason for many who just can't bring themselves to believe in modeling.

So, no matter if the...

    No seamless patch changing for identical routing in 9.0 :(

    I was very happy with the change time before, if its better now it's excellent for such a powerful processor. The real high end processors often have long change times, but not the AxeFX. Neat. However, is it possible to do what deadletter wants? Actual seamless shift if amp and cab is identical?

    what is your usual delay stuff for solos?

    what is your usual delay stuff for solos?

    Re: what is your usual delay stuff for solos I have found that around that length is perfect for our music, 500 gets too short, 700 is too much, around 650 is perfect. So I just set it at 666 for good luck =p
  23. D

    what is your usual delay stuff for solos?

    Mono, about 3 audible repeats, mix 100% (paralell), level pretty low (resulting in about 15% mix) and 666ms. I found 500ms to be a little less than what I wanted, and 650ms worked out good with all our songs that needed delay, and I just couldnt leave it alone.

    Axe Fx Ultra with an Engl Fireball or a Diezel Herbert

    Yep. With 4 cable method the fx loop block becomes your tube amps preamp. Then you can place the tube amp wherever you want in the routing grid (or not at all). This way you can have as much as 3 amps going at once (your tube amp plus 2 amp sims).
  45. D

    Axe Fx Ultra with an Engl Fireball or a Diezel Herbert

    Use four-cable-method. That is, IMO, the ultimate solution if you want to use a amp head with the AFX. Both fireball and Herbert can deal with this.

    Sorry about the rookie question but...

    I'm guessing this is just a typo, but the AxeFX does NOT have a power amp, you need to get one OR a FRFR powered speaker OR you can hook the Axe to your favorite amp OR you can go right into the mixer.
