I'd spend your money to upgrade these for something nicer instead.
Amps are fun, but in a tiny space and low volumes you will generally get a better tone out of good studio monitors and digital modeling.
I use the Sennheiser HD6XX sold by Drop.com. That's the actual model name, they are a variant of the HD650.
I also own Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 ohm models but would not recommend them for modelers. They have an absolutely massive high end emphasis that needs severe correction, so out of the...
Watts are watts, but the way they are measured and represented between amps can vary greatly. I think Fryette claims that even the Mesa 2:90 is closer to 65W than 90W.
Tube amps are typically rated for clean, low THD and can then go way above that with high THD (poweramp distortion)...
The flaw in this is that what you perceive as "good" vs "bad" when listening to an individual speaker might differ compared to hearing all the speakers together. Let's say you have speaker A that sounds really dark and speaker B that sounds really harsh. On their own, both of these would be...
I can do pretty much all repairs to my guitars, but fret leveling and replacement I'd rather pay someone to do. It's tedious work that I do not enjoy at all.
FYI, for any amp with a series fx loop you can add a global master by simply using something like a JHS Little Black Amp Box, or any volume pedal, in the loop. This will do the same thing as a global output level knob. If the amp has send or return level knobs for the loop, those can be used for...
I'd say I mainly care that it sounds like a Tele with single coils. How much the traditional Tele bridge matters for that I cannot say.
99% of 7+ string multiscales seem to be dual humbuckers and that last 1% is at best H/S/S superstrat type things.
The issue is not really the products per se. They do make some unique things in non-guitar gear departments.
The problem with Behringer is how the company operates. You can just google "Behringer lawsuit" or read their Wikipedia page to see how many shady practices they have been involved in...
Something like that does start to seem like the best option. Seems that model has been discontinued though but maybe I can find a used one in my country.
Single coil multiscale extended range models of any kind are surprisingly rare.
I've been thinking of how cool a traditional Tele in a 7-string multiscale/fanned fret format would be, but does that even exist?
Most multiscale guitars come with humbuckers, or H/S/S at best. I'd like a proper Tele style bridge pickup at least. Body shape can be non-Tele, looking for a...
They are no longer produced but I've had the Eminence Maverick. It's a lovely sounding speaker, though a bit on the dark side so best paired with brighter voiced amps.
These speakers aren't really suited for anything but 1x12 combos because it gets complicated real quick if you need to adjust...
The QC's Analog Devices ADSP-SC589 processor is an ARM core + 2 SHARC DSP cores. The ARM core is just what runs the operating systems, GUI, USB audio interface functionality etc while the SHARC cores are running the modeling. So porting the plugins to ARM won't help much for the algorithms...
The way I see it, you either use a real amp into a guitar cab, or you just use digital modeling into studio monitors or headphones.
To me tube amp -> reactive load -> cab sims -> studio monitors/headphones is no better than just skipping all that and going full digital modeling.
The quality of...
Yeah, it sounds pretty mean with Strymon Riverside -> Iridium Round set clean w/ ML Sound Lab 4x12 Diezel V30 IR.
In any case wouldn't be my first choice if you are looking for high gain tones.
The Revv stuff is nice, but there is absolutely nothing in them that could not have been achieved with other models well enough.
The Dyna-Cabs for me are a far more exciting feature. They make getting cabs sound to your liking so much easier than trying to find the perfect factory IRs or...
Ultimately all that matters is that you like how it sounds or feels. The Kemper is a well liked tool among both hobbyists and professionals yet it has been objectively proven to not be as accurate as say Tonex or Quad Cortex for capturing amp sounds. But many enjoy it nonetheless so where is the...
Open source software is different. NAM was just some guy's hobby project that blew up in popularity. A lot of other people gladly put their time into various project like these, just because they are interested in making something rather than planning to make a commercial product for sale. I've...
