Ciao Leo, sempre esaustivo nei tuoi video! Attendevo l'ingresso di TC electronics nel campo delle simulazioni di ampli dai tempi del Nova System! Speravo in una unità completa, ovvero un Nova System con sim di ampli ed IR, speriamo in futuro....🤣. Mi interesserebbe una unità di questo tipo da abbinare ad un NUX Cerberus, che uso come spare. Ho avuto l'Amp Academy, ben suonante, ma trovavo il software tremendo, volume dell'uscita Xlr ingestibile, flessibilità nulla nello switching dei canali, magari bastava attendere qualche aggiornamento software, ma l'ho venduto velocemente, senza rimpianto. Non ho capito se questo TC ha la possibilità di caricare Ir di terze parti (le tue....). Vero che si può intervenire in post sulla Daw sfruttando l'uscita diretta, però se fosse possibile modificare le IR......sarebbe buona cosa. Sto altresì pensando se è il caso di implementare il Cerberus con un amp sim (e a quel punto un compressore). Certo che considerando la spesa di queste due cose e vendendo il Cerberus, aggiungendo qualche cos'altro potrei andare sul Trident o su Me90! Dura la vita del chitarraio da salotto, ci sono troppe cose interessanti in giro!

@LeoGibsonGtr 10 ай бұрын

Ciao, grazie, sono contento che apprezzi i video. Se non ricordo male, non è possible caricare IR personali in queste unità...in effetti penso che se ci accoppi un IR loader, il prezzo lievita ed a quel punto meglio andare su una pedaliera multieffetto...dove hai molto di più: hai più simulazioni di ampli, più effetti etc. Grazie ancora!

Hi Leo. I understand a lot of people wanting a dedicated XLR for longer cable runs, but both outputs are actually balanced, so if you use a TRS jack cable you will get the same rejection of common mode noise as with an XLR cable :-) /Lars

Hi Leo.. Great demo.. I love the idea of one good amp model pedal that one can go direct with.. Have you tried the newest 3 of these pedals from TC? The high gain models? I'm really interested in their 800 model which also has a mod amp like extra gain stage or extra gain. I never liked just stock 800's because they never had enough gain, and the same for the amp you're doing this video for. Leo, sir, your playing is so awesome.. You have the best legatto and just overall playing sir. Really great, and you write really well too, and if you are doing all your own recording and mixing you are a maestro sir! I really mean that.. Just killer playing sir.. You should be touring! I know you're on vacation, and I apologize for writing so much, but I had to tell you how good your video's are and your playing is..

When I was in high school during the 1970's, I found a used 68 Marshall JTM 45 head and cab for $450 USD. It sounded amazing and my high school band ended up working a lot. I sold it for a Boogie. Smaller yes, but nothing sounds like the JTM45, especially from the 60's. I so wish I had that amp back...

AMT preamps for a long time use this design with separate outputs for DI and for use into amp return. Since they can be used simultaneously, ( I guess this unit allows it too), it is handy if you throw signal to a mixer, and at the same time monitor yourself through an amp. At a live gig, for example. P.S. Dammit typed before you said same thing.

To me personally, the NuX Amp Academy makes much more sense instead of the Ampworx series (& for value/versatility/great sounding/features' ratio, the Amp Academy is even better than the Strymon Iridium). The Amp Academy is just a little bit higher priced than the Ampworx . Whatever it is, this is just my personal opinion. Btw, i have been using the NuX Amp Academy for the past 6 months & are really, really happy with it.

Btw Mr Leo, u are one of my most favourite KZfaq guitarist. Yr playing skill is absolutely outstanding.... plus yr style of reviews are really practical & really makes sense. I hope u could do a sort of in depth shootout between the Ampworx against the NuX Amp Acadmey & the Strymon Iridium.. Fyi, i don't really care if an "amp in a box" sounds almost like the real thing... I only care if it sounds great (sounding almost like the real thing is just a bonus for me), feels good under the fingers & takes external pedals (especially drive pedals) very well, and for that, the NuX Amp Academy are exceptional in all of those 3 cases. Again, its just my 2 cents... 😊

€160 for a single preamp pedal can no longer be justified, when you can buy an entry-level multi-effect modeling pedal with dozens of amp sims and effects for less. Plus, a Hotone Nano Legacy Purple Wind costs half of that price and can drive a speaker cabinet. A Joyo British Sound or Caline Baker Street is a quarter of that price.
