The ART actually isn't super light. I was surprised at how heavy it was when I had one.

I'm actually REALLY frustrated with fractal right now. My credit card company won't give me a limit increase for even one purchase, and fratcal has been completely unhelpful in finding me a workaround. It's almost as if they don't even want my money...
I'm so frustrated I'm seriously considering picking up a ts100 and an engl e530 and calling it a day.
Fractal is a music gear company. They're not in the finance business. No offense dude, but that part of the deal is you're problem.
A music gear company that won't take cheques, money orders, cash, or bank wire transfers...
I'm going to be picking up an Ultra fairly soon and I've been doing alot of research, my question is is the Art SLA-2 bridged 560 watts mono @ 8 ohms going into an 8 ohm Mesa cab going to be powerful enough?
Currently I run an EVH 5150 III at about 3 on the volume and it has 4 6L6 power tubes and I would like to get the same "thump" and feel from my cab on stage that I do with my EVH.
Can the Art provide that at 560 SS watts or should I go for a higher powered Carvin? I just really like the idea of having a light weight 1 space rack power amp to cut down on the rack weight.
You can blame the thieves of the world for that. If it weren't for assholes like them, the above listed forms of payment would *most* likely still be acceptable. Since those are ripe for abuse, it's harder and harder to get anything of substantial value using those methods. Not only that, Fractal is a small company, I'd guess they have less than a dozen employees, they may not have the man power to sit there and baby sit every possible transaction and ensure there's no fraud going on.
You can absolutely use an UX2, I own an UX8 and It worked so I don't see a reason why an UX2 should fail.
That said, UX2 is lacking MIDI ability, so I ended up changing my interface anyway.
What you'll miss with the UX2:
-Firmware upgrades
-Downloading other people's patches.
Given that some firmware upgrades include entirely new amps from time to time, I decided I needed the MIDI and keep the UX8 for rehearsal recordings.
A crazy idea comes to my mind a couple of days ago:
sell my Eventide eclipse an buy on Axe fx ultra,
-i tame a second version of the eclipse coming out and i don't want price drop.
-with the axe i can use only fx with my herbert and amp sim when i'm
not with my amp/amps.
-i'm not goiing to use any 4 cable method..too many hum.hiss..ground loop
with g-system in the past and i don't need nearly nothing preamp exept for a wha sometimes.
I don't know i must test fx quality and deep of editing
I must admit my dreams setup will have an h8000fw for amp rack and a axe fx standard for mobile setup.
Out of curiousity, what did you upgrade to. I currently have the UX2 and I was thinking about upgrading as well. I still need the latest firmware for the Axe Fx.
I got a Lexicon Omega. It's not so much an upgrade as something different. It has a lot less I/O than the UX8 but has MIDI. Works fine for the purpose of recording the axe at home.
Has anyone got some answers for the other questions in my previous post (#433)?
Also thinking about selling my UX2 and buy another interface, but can I actually sell the UX2?Like with the PodFarm registration being computer related and stuff... I don't really know lol.
