as seen in both attempts in my screen shots, I did try to put the amp blocks both on path 1 and then I split them to be on both path 1 and path 2. when putting them both on path 1, I couldn't get the option to add. Probably an overall cpu limit as path 1 should be able to handle 2 amps and 2 cabs with a few eqs
When splitting them on different paths, when piping them to the effects blocks line on 2b, it becomes an issue as now you have both the amp2 and effects on path 2, which it simply can't handle.
In this method, there is another problem that you can't chain from 1a to 2b while simultaneously sending a split from 2a to 2b. This is a huge limitation.
My last screenshot in post #6150 should easily be possible.
I don't need dual amps but I need either:
1) the capability of loading multiple amps in an amp block with no gap (ie. FAS channels) - this would negate using snapshot disable/enable and having "snapshot block alter". this capability would also be helpful within cab and effects blocks where you can choose a different effect in other snapshots. ie. vintage delay snapshot 1, dual delay snapshot 2, quad delay snapshot 3
2) be able to place multiple blocks knowing that you will only use one or the other. The "alternate" block. ie. put two amp blocks and tell the system that they will never be used at the same time in hopes that it saves some cpu.

I’m hoping we can get folders to organize clones like Stadium has for IRs.
And a good rotary speaker. I can’t get the current ones to sound good. May be user error.

It's been more of a general observation. My (by now 2 generations old) Macbook boots as fast as pretty much any modeler and simply mops the floor with all of them regarding performance. While running absolute killer filter (and other synth-ish) FX, the most beautiful delays, all kinda IR reverbs and - obviously - all available amp plugins, including HQ NAM files.

Give us Apple's revenue and resources and we'll talk.
It's a fight between Apple and Line 6 over who is going to get most of my money, and, in recent months, anyway, Line 6 has been winning.
Trying to do my part!

Yamaha doesn't let you design your own CPU's?

Because it was true in the Intel era and Apple doesn't sell their SoCs to other companies. Even if you went with an Intel strategy, you couldn't count on getting parts for 10+ years.
Also Apple has invested lots of billions of dollars acquiring semi-conductor company (ies) to develop their own SoC, vertically integrated with their software stack, shipping at volumes that guarantee you top spot to get the latest manufacturing nodes available. This didn't happen overnight.

Outside of playing Black Hole Sun a couple times a year, it’s not a sound I know well. I’ve seen others (@JiveTurkey) express your sentiment though.
Out of curiosity, what’s wrong with the L6 rotary/leslie models?

Err, it's not really about that. Even a way less shiny Windows box outperforms pretty much any modeler in terms of CPU juices.

I don’t obsessively stalk this kind of video on YouTube but saw it on the FB group. Interesting comparison between Proxy and other capture tech. In a nutshell, proxy does really well and, when you consider that it’s a (very new) cherry on top of an already great cake that continues to improve….. well, that’s impressive.
They are super muddy sounding. I have a workaround that involves putting the Vibe rotary in a parallel path and inverting the phase in the merge mixer ONLY when the Leslie is active (link below). Its definitely an improvement to my ears (more clarity /closer to the unaffected tone) and I actually think the slow leslie sound is pretty damn good setup this way. There is a stock preset on the Stadium using the Leslie 145 that sounds "ok" and even better with the parallel setup IMO. The leslie 45 sounded pretty bad in the OG Helix. Which is why everyone uses the Vibe Rotary because it was the least offensive.
Helix Leslie Tones Revisited
TL;DR - Put the Rotary block in a Split Y path after the amp block, assign it to a stomp, turn it on, then open the split path mixer and flip the polarity of Path B. Assign the polarity switch to the same stomp as the Rotary bypass. For a while now my goto Leslie tone for the Helix has been...

If they did, only a very small number of viewers would understand what they were talking about. That would not lead to clicks, like and subscribe, and this video is brought to you by shadow legends. It is much more profitable to tell us "YOUR USING YOUR MODELER WRONG!" and spoon feed us an LUFS number.

I can’t get them to sound “crisp”. They’re on the muddy side. I tried running them both with and without a cab block without much luck.
I’ll use the HX UniVibe when I want that type of sound but it’s not the same.
That’s pretty strange. I was able to run 3 Agouras and pretty much max out the whole signal chain, with 2 I easily can. The only thing that really chews significant CPU besides proxy or Agoura is poly capo, even then I could still run 3 Agoura and a few effects. (The pitch block in both left photos is poly capo)

Are you running stereo effects or mono? That could make a difference.
drives are mono. Everything else stereo.
