I love my AxeFx. It's the best gear purchase I've ever made. Whenever I'm playing around with the factory pre-sets, I can immediately tell if it's using High or Ultra resolution IRs and for me, high-res is just not in-line with the current quality of tones that Quantum and UltraRes has brought to life.
Now that UltraRes has been standard for years, why hasn't there been a massive update with all factory cabs and presets moving to the new standard?
My main guesses are:
-Members of the community like the current presets or built their presets with current cabs. i.e. the popular TV 4x12 of yester-year.
-When Ultra-Res was new, it drove sales of cab-packs. Also, there just weren't a lot of IRs captured yet.
-The standard AxeFx can't handle 2x UR IRs at the same time
So questions that arise now that UR is matured:
-Would anyone miss the old high-res models?
-Would there be any business opportunity-cost at this point?
-Does anyone with the standard Ax2 really prefer 2x high-res vs 1x ultra-res? If so, what percent of the population is that and if it's as small as I'd imagine, would it be better for the community if those options were pursued via user-cabs?
