I currently have an Axe-FX II, Mk I. With the latest FW updates, if I set my reverb levels to High Quality, I exceed 91% CPU usage, and am starting to get snap/crackle/pop in my preset. That will preclude me from using the high quality reverb, unless I dump some of the effects blocks out of the preset.
I'm considering upgrading to the Axe-FX II XL, but this statement in the sales page at Fractal makes me wonder if I'll be fixing this:
"Double-capacity preset size allows for expanded functionality including X/Y switching on more blocks and more instances of effects. (Note that the processing power of the XL is the same as that of the Mark II, so whereas more effect instances might be offered, the total limit for overall preset CPU usage remains the same.)"
Am I reading this correctly that the CPU capacity is not changed? In other words, if I'm exceeding CPU in my II, and getting crackle, I'll still exceed it in the XL?
