Just wondering wether i should bite the bullet now or wait ... unless i'll be waiting a few years LOL XD
Thank you sir. i will order one tonight! cant wait!The potential of the III has not even been fully tapped yet, don’t expect an upgrade for years.,,,
According to the CPU estimates I’ve seen on this forum the iii will be maxed out with my kitchen sink preset. I haven’t purchased an Axe FX III yet but I won’t be able to have everything I want in a preset due to CPU limitations.The potential of the III has not even been fully tapped yet, don’t expect an upgrade for years.,,,
Then you may be doing something wrong in your calculations, or your preset creations.According to the CPU estimates I’ve seen on this forum the iii will be maxed out with my kitchen sink preset. I haven’t purchased an Axe FX III yet but I won’t be able to have everything I want in a preset due to CPU limitations.
There may be extra potential if Fractal improves flexibility of scenes (a/b scenes, ignore CH, etc...) but right now it looks like my preset will be running at 90 with minimal FX and only 2 IRs.

What calculations? This is simple to test for you.According to the CPU estimates I’ve seen on this forum the iii will be maxed out with my kitchen sink preset. I haven’t purchased an Axe FX III yet but I won’t be able to have everything I want in a preset due to CPU limitations.

Yeah I don’t claim to be an expert in routing but with minimal FX and only 2 IRs there is no reason you should be getting anywhere close to 90%. You’re pulling CPU from somewhereAccording to the CPU estimates I’ve seen on this forum the iii will be maxed out with my kitchen sink preset.

I’m also not sure how you can “calculate” this accurately without having the unit and axe-edit in front of you... and you said in a previous post that you had “minimal” effects yet you are almost maxed out on the amount of the FX the unit has to offer so I’m confused???Like I said, I haven’t purchased it yet so a can’t test it.
Here is approximately what I’m looking at:
Comp
3 volumes
4 filters
4 GEQ
2 amp blocks with gain enhancer
1 drive (would like 2 but don’t think I have room)
1 stereo cab with preamp and room sim
4 delays
2 plex delays
2 reverbs
Rotory block
Chorus
Vibroto
Tremolo
Using scenes to select FX and control switches to select gain staging.
That’s pretty much it.
THIS... the way the 3 runs now and with the amount of firmware updates I’m willing to be we’ll be even more blown away a year from now with all the updates we will have by then. I’d be surprised to see a new flagship product by 2025... can’t imagine what the next one will be!The Axe-Fx III hasn't even been in production for two years. This industry is not like cellphones and cameras. We strive to get at least five years out of a product.
There is more than one preset. As a matter of fact, there are 512 of 'em!According to the CPU estimates I’ve seen on this forum the iii will be maxed out with my kitchen sink preset.

Just added the blocks and set the two reverbs to normal quality. Still some CPU left.
Dang that was quick!!! This forum is awesome!!! Thanks! Add in several controllers and that would be moving toward 90.View attachment 59338

I want it all in one preset. Because of reasons.There is more than one preset. As a matter of fact, there are 512 of 'em!
