Hello, I just received my new AXE FX 2 XL+ and I have a couple of questions and complaints.
Before I start complaining, just let me say, I was using a Digitech 2101 Tube Preamp. It is a great processor and has great, buttery, Real Tube tones, but so far I am very impressed with the tones coming out of the Axe FX.
The first thing I noticed using the AXE FX was how quickly the CPU gets used up.
Secondly, I noticed that even at 97% usage of the CPU I get static when playing.
Why is the CPU so limited? I would expect for over $2,000 I could add a couple Amps and Cabs and a few pedals to make the tone I want and not be artificially limited by the CPU.
Why is the Axe FX 2 making static Noises at %97 CPU usage? Shouldn't it only do that once I pass 100%?
I have added an image of the chain I am using. I managed to make it 96% CPU usage by using a different Drive pedal. I wanted to use the T808 Mod but it puts the CPU at 97% which is where the static occurs. I would also like to add a Flanger and Phaser to this chain, but that is obviously impossible.
Is there any way to do a work around?
Thanks for the help. Just to be clear, I am loving the options that the Axe FX 2 has, and the tones as well. I just need MORE POWERRRRR Captian.
