Axe-Fx II CPU Usage

[GreatGreen]

The Axe-Fx Ultra has tons of memory, but if you get too crazy with the blocks, you'll run out of your CPU's resources. How does this compare with the II?

How many blocks can you fit into a given Axe-Fx II patch? I know that's hard to answer because every block type takes up different amounts but, for example, an Amp block in an Axe-Fx Ultra patch takes what, something like 15-25% of the CPU? How much of the CPU do the Amp and Cab blocks use in the Axe II?

Many Axe 2 presets have 10-12 blocks and weigh in around 70%. I suspect it's a bit higher than the ultra without the amp block. Keep in mind that the 2 has a CPU dedicated to amps so they don't count in the CPU usage calculation.
