Who else is upgrading to Axe-FX III TURBO? :-)

[Andrew Male]

I have a mk2, so no.

 

[AlGrenadine]

I think i'll just order a turbo sticker to tune my mk1, and put some tint glass on the screen with low rider wheels

 

[MackieFX]

I have a MkII - Dont see any reason to upgrade.

There hasn't been any marketing material that tells you what you're actually getting with the turbo module. If its just more DSP then I dont need it for preset size.

If there are block updates coming down the line which can only be used with the DSP Turbo then I might consider it.

LOL when mk2 came out , i felt bad about not having rgb as i thought i could have made my axe fx red and color coordinate it with my PC.
But then i just turned my pc Blue. and now i'm cool hahah.

I wonder if these chips can be overclocked , and a better cooling alternative can be installed. That would interest me far more than getting a turbo. Since i tend to overclock all my pc gear.

Yes overclocking on pc is good but here you'd have to find a better refreshing solution... Quite risky for a maximum 20% gain

True, it would not even be possible if these are locked chips

 

[Andy Eagle]

it's not an upgrade it's just more of the same. If I was buying today I would get the turbo but what I use has not changed at all in it.

Still holding out for a IV. I can wait.

 

[Budda]

Sticking with my MK I for now. I don't usually max out the CPU and the FullRes IR feature isn't crucial enough for me to upgrade just yet. Maybe if something crazy comes down the line...

Same here. I need to learn my DAW a whole lot more before I worry about what is feeding it :')

Problem with that is you’ll stop playing guitar. I only play these days for gigs and spend most of my time at my desk mixing for other people while looking at my mostly unused AxeFXIII (for now).

 

[Rock Chalk]

Although the extra CPU of the Turbo is crazy tempting, I’m gonna rock my MKI til the IV hits. Hopefully a Twin Turbo IV

Well I have to record the stuff to work on it haha.

I have an EP I need to mix, but lately I would rather noodle so I've been doing that. I do know once I sit down to do some production I'll gain a lot of very useful knowledge.

 

[BroKV]

Got the MKII in August, I’ll wait for the next overhaul.

What daw are you trying to master?

I've got Logic (latest update). Ive used it for many a quick clip in the last few months, but not working on my project.

Logic definitely works. I’ve personally found a home with Studio One. Producing anything approaching professional results is like 5% guitar playing, 95% everything else.

I am really digging the FullRez IRs, however, a pair of FullRez room IRs takes up a considerable amount of DSP, a very basic preset would cause the CPU meter to get quite close to the WARNING zone

Who else is considering upgrading to TURBO for 25% more horse power...?

FractalAudio:
”The increased CPU usage has nothing to do with FullRes. It's due to fixing this "bug":”

Thread:

Bug, Fixed: Scene switching - bypass/mute/unmute problems​

”The fix required adding code to every block's input processing.”

”Regardless I have made improvements in CPU usage for 17.01 with it using even less CPU than 16.05.”

Mine is due to arrive tomorrow. Was lucky the announcement came 10 days after I received the Mk2, so I could RMA it instead of having to bother with selling it....

I did the same thing!

 

[sean.e]

The quotes above are legit but taken out of context. FullRes does require considerable processing power -- that appears to be one of the factors behind the introduction of MkII Turbo:
