Hello,
I'm thinking about buying a new Fractal device.
I'm using the AFII since 2012 and I find both the XL+ and the FX8 interesting but can only afford one of it. ;-)
Someday I would like to use the device with a tube amp in 4CM. Therefore I would like to know, if the XL+ really has the same 4CM circuitry as the FX8 and works equally well in that scenario? I couldn't form an opinion as there was a bit of discussion in the past I read earlier this day. So I would like to ask, if there are any official statements or other news concerning that topic? Maybe someone has the luck to own both and could compare?
Further specific to the FX8:
- Am I correct that if you want to use it to switch channels on the amp, you can configure it either via relay or via midi per scene without wasting any additional block for this function?
- Is the CPU usage equal to the AX8? If so, I surely can take the spreadsheet from the wiki to calculate my CPU usage, if I would transfer my AFII files to the FX8?
Thanks for you help!
