Parallel cabs are louder than a single one
Why do Cabinet blocks in parallel rows sound louder than a single Cabinet block?

Sound quality of a stereo cab
The Standard/Ultra used 512-point cabs in a stereo cab. The Axe-Fx II now uses 1024-point cabs in a stereo cab. This means that there's no signal degradation anymore when using stereo cabs.
Air and Drive
These Standard/Ultra parameters did not return in the Axe-Fx II.
