Hi Everybody,

I am considering buying Ultra for effects meaning I won't be using amp and cab simulation.

I wonder how many effects it can run in parallel? Will I be able to run for instance 8 simultaneous delays and/or chorus,reverbs?

Many thanks.

Alex.
 
Thanks jjozwia. I have read the manual. I am more interested in real life experience. Basically how much of effects can I run without overloading CPU.
 
Here are some Axe-Fx %CPU figures for different effects blocks from the Ultra, and Standard which I think were from firmware 11 (The last firmware done for these models). The "minus 'none'" column indicates the quoted CPU % usage minus the value indicated from the "none" row, which is the CPU usage you get with no shunts or effect applied in the Axe-Fx "grid layout", and with the noise gate turned off. (Eg for the Ultra, the CPU usage for adding the Jazz Amp to Amp 1 was 27.45% CPU, the equivalent "minus 'none' value for this selection on the Ultra is 27.45% CPU - 6.2% CPU = 21.25% CPU).
