Bold suggestion, isn't it?
Nowadays I read many great topics here about how people would appreciate squeezing bits of the new algorithms into old AX8's hardware, while I feel I'd rather go for something different. If anything can be still optimized, when it comes to processing power, let it be to employ second Amp instance in the grid.
It could be kind of "low-res" button, could be stripped-down amp version without some in-depth controls, it could even rule out using nice reverbs / whatevers completely - I don't care.
I can live fine with just one amp in the grid and control the gain / master via scene controllers to get smooth clean-to-dirty tone transitions, but having 2 amps (channels) to do the same, with independent tone control - that would be something.
As for how it would work - I imagine the 2nd amp would be always available, but without pushing this, let's say, "low-res" button, we would just get the same message we are getting when overloading the cpu (that the block is disabled).
Dreaming? Maybe. But if FAS team would ask to vote whether we want them to work on "porting more new epiphanies" or rather "optimizing cpu usage to get more Axe II functionality from the old AX8 hardware" - I'd vote for the latter.
Thanks!
