Three Amp Blocks?

[yek]

So why even have channels if you're going to have 3 Amps?

2 Amp blocks x 4 channels = 8.

3 Amp blocks x 0 channels = 3.

2 Amp blocks x 4 channels = 8.

3 Amp blocks x 0 channels = 3.

Yeah... what's you point?

It’s pretty obvious. It would be a step backwards, from 8 to 3. Eh, 5 steps. That 3 amps would work for you is no valid reason to assume that it should suffice for others too.

Definite YES to 3 Amp Blocks.

Cab-wise, we can get by with 2, in various ways:
(a.) Use those IR-only blocks;

I must have missed where this was stated as the way 3 amp block would be implemented?

It is not. It was an explanation of the answer to an earlier question (post #179).

Having three different amps for different passages of the same song (especially to faithfully duplicate a studio recording during a live gig) only by changing scenes might be useful on a song or two (Roundabout/Your Move, etc). Playing three different amps simultaneously would be unnecessary. Diminishing returns. However, having one foot controller would be awesome.

The intention, I believe, is not for 3 amps simultaneously. It is for selecting between 3 amps using the multiplexor for totally seamless switching. Using the multiplexor is faster than changing the amp channel.

Well that will be great. Will still need the foot controller, right?

Beat that dead horse in the other threads.

Standard midi controllers can already be used.

I was just cracking a joke. I was paraphrasing the Roman Senator, Cato the Elder. Please forgive if I offended. It’s usually better to assume I’m joking. Besides, why would I buy a BMW, and then use a GM of China steering wheel? <—here is another joke

2 Amp blocks x 4 channels = 8.

3 Amp blocks x 0 channels = 3.

or 3 amp blocks X 4 channels = 12

more is more!!!

Maybe not 3 but 4 that would be s surprise.

Thanks brad. I’ll try to be more cognizant about hot-button issues. Moreover, I advise that Carthage must be destroyed.

I think we are totally misunderstanding each other here. Or at least I have no idea what you are saying.

My point is that there are 4 channels for each Amp Block currently. If people would rather just have three Amp Blocks to avoid audio dropouts then why bother having Channels if they are less preferable to having 3 separate Amp blocks? If you are using one for clean, rhythm and lead respectively then it looks like you are not going to need to use the channels.

Hope that clears it up.

I'll be using all of the options.
