I'm thrilled about the new Axe FX III! At the same time I find myself wondering about the functionality of "channels"...
I always wanted the Axe FX II to be able to recreate and model an entire amp, with all preamp channels modeled simultaneously, accessible by virtual "switching". I understand that this is not possible in the current hardware due to CPU limitations.
I had high hopes that something to that effect would be included in the next generation hardware. Seems like the channels as described are only faster X/Y with 2 extra states. While that is wonderful and makes live playing much more enjoyable, I was silently hoping for something more.
I'm curious though; Is there enough horsepower in the III to pull of what I'm suggesting? That you would have, say, all 3 preamps in the CAE3+ available with "seamless" switching. Would it be possible to model only the extra preamps and leave the poweramp, presence circuit etc. as they are?
