Some new Amp X tidbits from BluGuitar's latest livestream.
- They've been working on getting vintage wahs just right, among other things.
- They seem to have made their own expression pedal with Amp X branding, styling etc.
- The Amp X should release this year!
Blug seemed pretty happy and confident about their progress.
There's also a cool shot of the Amp X prototype internals spread apart, seen above. That thing is just absolutely packed if you consider putting the two layers together! Something like this would be impossible to build without surface mount components. The power supply and poweramp alone takes a good chunk of space.
I'm still not convinced that using regular 0-10 style pots for the 4 "X controls" with the little displays above them is the right move, infinite rotaries would make more sense to me. But I'm not an amp designer so maybe BluGuitar has good reasons to go with this solution instead, even if it makes adjusting different fx a pain in the ass in comparison.
