Ultra | Dual tone stacks possible with single unit?

I run two separate head/cab/mic/effects chains in parrallel - and the same in a virtualized world. Oddly enough, I worked out what I wanted in the Pod X3 Live and built my primary hardware rig from that template. I've been very satisfied. I run several "patches", but all in dual-tone mode. My...

Ultra | Dual tone stacks possible with single unit?

That's true, and for me it's one of the compelling reasons to switch from Line 6 to Fractal. if the unit is designed to run stereo rigs (dual tone stack adn respective chains), then it should be capable of doing what it was engineered to do. It would not be capable of doing what I need it to do...

Ultra | Dual tone stacks possible with single unit?

Thanks - precisely what I was trying to validate. Basicly you're running something similar to what I would run. For AxeFX to truly be a hardware replacement solution, it needs to have enough horsepower to run a typical effects / amp / cab / mic sim. If you're pegging the CPU with that setup...

Power conditioner

well, i'm no master electrician, but it would stand to reason that not all line voltages in typical setting run at a consistent 120; presumably manufacturers know this and compensate for it somehow, but that would be a total guess, whereas doing some simple math on amp draw per piece would give...

Power conditioner

Surge is less of a problem than sag. Most people i have asked about this (including some very knowledgable giging and recording musicians) have commented that a power conditioner makes everything better. tv's are brighter, amps sound better, etc. i haven't dropped $5-800 on a pwr cond, but i'm...

Ultra | questions (power, loop, comparison, usability, racks

stumped all the folks at tc, also. i had multiple conversations with them - their solution was to get a volume pedal or an attenuator.

Ultra | questions (power, loop, comparison, usability, racks

Anyone noticed an improvement in sound quality when using a balanced power supply like a Furhman - not just talking about the low end ones, but the $500-$800+ ones that level power to an even 120?? Have any of you experimented with straight PA-quality equipment as the cab? I use a Pod X3 Live...

Ultra | Dual tone stacks possible with single unit?

Title is self explanatory. I want to run two independent virtual stacks (stereo rig setup) including head, cab, mic and effects specific to each stack. Similar to Pod X3 Live/Pro. Can I do this with one single Ultra processor, or would it require 2 units?
