If I were to want to buy an amp - let’s say a Mesa Mark IV - I’d have access to a couple of channels and a bunch of knobs what have a range and interaction. Some of those controls would be named the same as many other amps (gain, treble, middle, bass, presence, etc) and some might be unique to that amp (lead drive, for instance).
Is there anything that exists that duplicates this in software or hardware so I could adjust the knobs of the modeled amp and have it behave like (or somewhat like) the real thing? I know with captures I can capture a particular setting I like, but I’m not aware of there being any sort of capture tool that sweeps through all knob settings so you get an adjustable capture or model. I know the interactions between the multiple controls would complicate it significantly, too.
I have avoided buying an Axe FX / Kemper / QC /Tonex just because I have read that the more you adjust the settings from the neutral part the farther away you get from how the amp would really respond. I mean, it’s not like I need a full range of all the settings, but I just cannot figure out which option out there is the most tweakable while still mimicking the amp.
