As TC Electronic continues to make waves with its Ampworx series, a new tone-trio debuts: JIMS 800, V550, and Dual Wreck. Each of these powerful preamp pedals boasts distinct circuitry that channels three distinct flavors of iconic, high-gain sonics. Each of these amp sim pedals features DI and USB connectivity options, alongside a dedicated cab sim option for a versatile suite of modern control and flexible tone crafting. So, do these Ampworx pedals have the heft to measure up to their vintage predecessors? We’ve enlisted the Duke of Distortion himself, Nick Bowcott, to put them to the test. Check it out!

I'd want to see more bass setups. 80s Ampeg, 90s GK, maybe Hartke. Early 2k Eden. I have the 45 and Fangs distortion for guitar.

I just bought an Acoustic bass pre D.I. It sounds good. I wanted the Ampeg one but this one is pretty cool.

I would've got the 800 over the 45 that i just got last week. Maybe I'll get another one but i haven't recorded with the 45 yet, so i don't know. I paired the 45 with the Fangs distortion pedal. I guess I'll really know when i hit record.

Which way to go for a ritchie blackmore sound? jims 800 or the jims 45 of the vintage series?

@HEZ63 10 ай бұрын

I rather recommended a Carl Martin PlexiTone or an Xotic SL. Or even better a Vahlbruch Kaluna.

@johntrip07 2 ай бұрын

I've heard these don't sound well ran into front of an amp. Any thoughts on this?

@marvinmartin3438 Жыл бұрын

Dude, I'm buying this pedal as soon as I sell the pedal I bought last week with the money from the pedal I sold the week before. Just hope I can sell this pedal to buy the one that comes out next week. Just sayin

@martinclayton7260 Жыл бұрын

Why didn't they bring these out at the same time that they brought the other ones out? I bought the Jim's 45, but I'd have bought the 900 instead of they'd have been out together!

@joelspaulding5964 11 ай бұрын

There is really no reason NOT to get every one of these pedals. For the price of a mid- Chinese manufactured Tube Combo, Half a dozen or more individual amps- that very few could differentiate from the target amp in a blind test. Playing, yes. Listening? Very few can tell. Some of these are definitely closer to OG than others though.

Been using the nux mg30 for a few months now and the dynamic range on these is horrible in comparison

@scoobydoop5257 11 ай бұрын

really digital sounding. rather just get a be-od or some other hi gain pedal

@heyjarrod 11 ай бұрын

I don’t know, I got the BE-OD, and just got the Revv G4. They sound similar to some of these examples today. Maybe I’ll get used to that mid range tone of these newer pedals. But the tone and Chug I get from my BOSS Metal Core is still so awesome. But I should try and get more mids for my leads. I’ll try this Revv pedal maybe another week or two, then might have to move on to the the next-which may be either the Rectifier pedal, or the Peavey. Or just stick with BOSS! 🤘🏻😝🎸🇺🇸

watched a bunch of demos and this is easily the worst I've heard the Dual Wreck sound. Homestly, it's the worst I've heard any of them sound. I can't imagine the first few minutes making anyone want them

Definitely not dialed in to their full capability. And this dudes right hand isn’t really doing the pedals justice. Nothing against him, pretty good player but it think he’s more of an old school player
