lol only a person looking for a quarrel would say something like that :P lighten up.

@ brue58ski Fine, no offence intended. And in answer to both your questions, there is no *Guitar MFX Unit* that has this feature. I just assumed that you where already aware of the kind of balance that was being struck in regards to 96Khz vs 48Khz. The question seemed pretty sarcastic to me at the time :P. Don't know if the AxeFx or Kemper has this feature tho.

Sounds nice, but I'm not sure I'd pay twice that amount for the same set of FX and AmpSims. I have solutions in place to address (in my view), what was the lack of DSP horsepower in my rack, so its not really a concern now. Was just a thought on DSP management in general. I Imagine the 96Khz algorithms demand more hardware intensive requirements than that if 48Khz. Although seems common to 48Khz units, especially these days, that they allow you to fill more over-all slots with FX ect. If we have to lose over-all slots in favour of the 96Khz definition, then so be it.

lol. I said "what would've been nice", as in *in theory* and is not an expression of expectation. I never implied it was a common feature available in every other MFX unit known to man, It is although, a feature you will find in certain audio electronics out there, so it exists. I find it amusing that you would quarrel over a trivial statement such as that.

What would've been nice, would be an option to throttle down the internal sampling rate in stages to give us more control over this balance between definition and available slots. EG: 96Khz, 88Khz, 48Khz, 44Khz.

What I should've said was.. "Any forum MEMBER that detracts points" lol.

Sorry, you are correct and I was aware of that. I've been trying to delete the post but it just sits there and hangs, it won't let me.

@ stumblinman LOL I remember you once compared me to the leader of North Korea, don't be hypocritical now lol.

Some of you have fairly simple and straight forward signal chains, others (like me) run fairly complex signal chains, it's people like us that will constantly run into the *DSP Limit Reached* fairly often.

What makes you think I haven't already ? As far as i'm concerned, any forum that detracts points from people for stating the truth is run with a nazi mentality. I didn't come here to put down Line6 products, I came here to speak my mind like all the other forums ALLOW. You want me to act like a fanboy sheep that sings nothing but praise and awesomeness about EVERYTHING Line6 ? your sorely mistaken, I'm a free man with an opinion just like everyone else, you don't have to agree with me ! Jesus, am I the only one that HASN'T lost all his critical thinking faculties ? Some of you need to get out more and taste the variety, it's a bigger world out there, sounds like some of you know nothing else but Line6 gear.

A point was taken from me cause I said it was a sub $20 DSP chip ? its the truth !

Simple explanation. Impedance affects the frequency EQ shape from your pickups, changing this also changes the tone of your pickups. This feature can be desirable if your hunting down a specific tonal characteristic from your pickups or if your trying to match various actives or passives with your amp. If you don't care much about it, just set it to 1M and leave it be, set and forget kind of thing. Complicated explanation. The definition of Impedance (Z) is A/C resistance, which is different to D/C resistance. A/C signals is what comes from your guitar, and A/C resistance is dynamic to certain frequencies. Those frequency points of resistance are judged by the filter circuit that is made between your guitars pickups and pedal or amp input. This subject involves electronics knowledge of "Resonance and Reactance" filters which is formed by Inductance, Capacitance, and Resistance commonly referred to as L/C/R networks. This is also the same science behind microphones and speakers. I was going to give you the complicated rundown at first, but I thought the lamans version would've been a lot easier to digest.

No but... If I'm wanting to replicate a particular tone from a guitarist from a particular album, I will start googling and try to find out exactly what gear was used for that album and start from there. There's also a section on youtube by Premier Guitar called Rig Rundowns, which can be helpful in unlocking key secrets on how certain artists build their tones, and can be found here. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL13D7650D1E3388E9

Frequency rolloff is a consequence of changing input impedances.

@ stumblinman Those connections where one of 3 of Digital_Igloo's list items I chose to remove. You realize we're talking about a sub $20 DSP chip here right ? LOL

I'm sorry if my disappointment disappoints you, but when you have an under-powered DSP chip coupled with a lack of model packs coupled with being jumped on for expressing disappointment coupled with knowing i'll never be taken seriously, what have I got to lose ? The mere fact that this topic is being resurrected over and over again over years and years is proof enough that there's something a-miss, I'm just simply stating the obvious.

I could show you several... you first.

Show me a single thread with either of you 2 as experts at the time discussing something negative about a Line6 decision, all i'll concede and admit defeat...

No-one is offended, its simply discussing the trimmings that could've allowed for a better DSP chip, simple. But I should know better than to debate this with experts by now, your biased to ALWAYS say positive things about Line6 gear, that's your job even if you dis-agree with some of it.

@ stumblinman I shouldn't dignify such a stupid question with an answer, but ill entertain it. Try connecting devices other than Line6 gear to those connections and you'll see what proprietary really means, and blow your gear up in the process, i can't say I'd feel sorry for you if you did lol.

*Crickets Chirping* lol

I'm sure its more than the cost of the chip itself as-well, surrounding electronics would need some attention, but that clearly wasn't my question. There's a conflict of information here and I'm just trying to quantify all this with specifics. 2 x ADSP-21369 chips wouldn't increase the cost all that much I would imagine, especially if they are under $20 each.

None of those DSP processor models on that 2nd link refers to the ADSP-21369 that's in the HD500/HD Pro from your first link lol. Which is it ? It can't be both.

So apparently its the ADSP-21369 which costs $19.69 and I assume even less in bulk. How would this justify hundreds, or thousands of dollars in increase ? seems overly exaggerated.
