To start with, I own a Vetta and until now have REALLY tried to be happy with it and not pay attention to Fractal. Then this 7.0 came out and there were AMAZING recordings flying all over the forums and I couldn't escape it. Combine that with the news that Line 6 is basically done with their "flagship" amp and here I am, posting on the Fractal forum. I want to make a public apology to Shredi and any other ex-ION members. I behaved badly over at the ION forum when the Axe Fx really took off and have been regretting it ever since. So, my bad and hopefully we can get along now. That out of the way, couple of questions:
I am considering the Axe, but want to know if the standard or Ultra is for me. I have budgeted $3000 for the new setup. When I play my Vetta I do the following: Two amps at once, a tubescreamer for some models, a phaser in front, and a chorus in front. The phaser and chorus are usually inactive, but there in case I need them. I will have a delay in the post effects section inactive for rhythms and on for leads. Reverb for cleans. Would this overload the cpu of the standard? I am into Amp sims, not complex effects. I don't tweak the chorus and delay for hours, but I will tweak the amp knobs forever. I also tend to use a graphic EQ for a mild mid cut in my metal rhythm stuff.
Thank you everyone.
