Having a lot of experience with the GT & Pod XT modelers, I am wondering if most folks here consider using 2 amp models at once a big plus, or even a must. I ask this because I very seldom used the feature in my other modelers (even though there was no CPU penalty for doing so) because I didn't hear what I thought was a major improvement in sound - I started thinking maybe a big part of the appeal was the way you can delay one of the amps to create a bigger stereo image, but this effect can be accomplished using only one amp block by simply delaying one side of the stereo processing, no?
I bring this up to point out that the Amp blocks are the biggest resource hogs of any in the AFX, and if you can 'mimic' the dual sound by using only one, you can save yourself A LOT of precious CPU power. Maybe I am missing something, but I think I could do just fine never using the dual amp scenario. I am interested to hear other's opinions on this...
