Long story short, I won't be able to carry my amp at rehearsal for the next couple of months, so I need something to go straight to the band's mixer and play some modern heavy metal tunes.
- It needs to be cheap, like very cheap (100-200 eur top), cause I'm sorta old styled metal guy, 50-100w stacks have no replacement in my book (sound/feel wise and look wise), so I'll likely end up selling the unit very soon anyway;
- It needs to be very plug and play, as I honestly am not gonna spend hours downloading profiles in an endless try 'n error process. I understand how cool can be, having a piece of gear with endless potential depending on the IRs and models you can afford to buy, but I just don't have the spare time to do so (or even learn how to run the thing), and having a very computer based job I just don't care to open my laptop when I get home;
- It needs to sound at least decent, and of course being capable of metal tones.
I've seen some apparently fine options, which are
Laney Loudpedal IRF
TC Ampworx Series
the old AMT preamp pedals and Mooer mini preamps.
Now, asking for direct experience about the guys above (or others) as there are plenty of vids here and there, but very few give a decent idea how the cab sim/DI/IR really sound, and that will end up being the main use of the pedal, so it needs to be good enough.
Thanks in advance guys!
