I wrote this in another thread and decided to start a dedicated one just to get some responses:
Cliff said (i think) that an amp block in the axefx 2 code would take up 40% of cpu of one tigersharc processor (ultra has 1.... AxefxII has 2) I am a sparse effect user and never use 2 amp sims at the same time on my ultra and would love to see a firmware split for ultra in 2 categories : normal and mini-axefx2. The downsized axefx2 firmware would have the same amp code as the real axe-fx2 but its up to the user if he wants to load this firmware and risk his ultra's cpu reaching its limit more often.
Anything else that needs to be scaled down to accommodate this is fine by me: less patches, amps, cabs, though i am under the impression that cpu power is the primary limiting factor. I wouldnt expect this firmware to be updated with every other firmware release or to be officially supported. I realize that Cliff is probably swamped with work so I wouldnt even expect this special firmware anytime soon... maybe when the dust from the new AxefxII blastoff settles a bit
Im sure someone will come along and tell me its not possible or feasable but i can dream cant i?
