Interesting. Do you know what is preventing that option on the backend?Nope.
I guess my question would be could the developer not change that? (not trying to stir the pot, genuinely curious)The device needs to know how many of each block can be added, so you can assign MIDI controls or footswitch controls among other things. There has to be a known number of instances. These were determined by the developer.

Nothing is preventing it, strictly speaking, except that dynamic allocation of resources like that can be more complicated to implement. You have to balance the extra work it would take to make that happen against the benefit users would accrue in having that flexibility.
The developer probably could, but drive blocks use a lot of CPU and most people will be happy with having 2 drives because each drive block has 4 channels, so unless you want 3 drives on at the same time most users probably wouldn't need it. Edit: Theres also the drives built into the amp block so plenty of options.
With Channels, you can currently have 2 drives out of 8 on at the same time. Are you trying to have 3 drives on at the same time?
I do wish we had a KOT or even just the high gain version of the POT.I am really just playing around. I am copying Dans pedalboard from TPS and he has a ton of drives, sometimes more than 2 one at once (especially since to actually emulate a KOT, you have to use both drive blocks to do so).
Is that model not on the FM3? Tone of Kings?I do wish we had a KOT or even just the high gain version of the POT.
Kind of. The current KoT is two OD circuits in one enclosure, which we could emulate by stacking two drive blocks I guess. L6 actually models both sides of the KoT in one block on the Helix. What I'd really like to see modeled is the high gain option that you can order the KoT and PoT with. With the gain maxed on the Tone of Kings model you barely get any grit and it's nowhere near the amount of gain available on my PoT. There's probably a way to tweak the model to increase the gain, I haven't really poked around to see.Is that model not on the FM3? Tone of Kings?
Like Marshall said, it is modeled but to get a true representation of a KOT, you have to use both drive blocks. That is what triggered the question for me. I agree with him that if we could get a higher gain version or a KOT type drive with both circuits available, it would be awesome!Is that model not on the FM3? Tone of Kings?
Well, you learn something new every day... While I vaguely familiar with the KoT, I have never used one and didn't realize they were a dual circuit.Like Marshall said, it is modeled but to get a true representation of a KOT, you have to use both drive blocks. That is what triggered the question for me. I agree with him that if we could get a higher gain version or a KOT type drive with both circuits available, it would be awesome!
I wonder if it will be possible or if it would require a lot of cpu like precision Drive and the axe 3 firmware 13 algorithmAdded it to the wishlist!

My guess is it will take quite a bit of cpu, but I’m just assuming. I know in the helix stuff it takes a ton of cpu.I wonder if it will be possible or if it would require a lot of cpu like precision Drive and the axe 3 firmware 13 algorithm
Often certain kind of drive blocks can be emulated by using the filter or parametric eq’s to boost both gain and freq certain drive have.....that gives together with both drive blocks tons of options...... I often just use the filter block as a regular ‘Boost’......
