Note that there seems to be building demand for these Yamaha units. It's rare to see a UD up for sale, and when it is, it's pricey. Even though they are easy to come by on Ebay, the cost of Magicstomps has been increasing too. From my experience and what I've head others say, there is no substitute for these on the market right now. Perhaps this is an opportunity for FAS?
The Allan Holdsworth presets on my Yamaha Magicstomp are phenomenal (hence the reason Allan uses six Magicstomps in his rig). The way he set up chorus using 8 delay lines is amazing. I haven't seen/heard any other pedal or rack gear come close to achieving this kind of chorus. It's better than any Tri-Chorus or Dimension emulation I've ever heard. It absolutely fills the room and swirls around your head!!
I was hoping the FX8 could do this, but it looks like it might not quite get there with only 4 max delay lines. I haven't tried setting it up yet, as I had to send my FX8 back because of a weird problem during booting up. I would rather not have to use 2 plex delay blocks in parallel to get the 8 lines to achieve the UD chorus effects (would it really hog the cpu?). If 4 more lines could be added to the plex delay, it would save a block for this purpose.
This is part of the motivation behind me requesting the 4x Chorus. But just adding 4 more delay lines might take care of my chorus needs.
