Ghetto Moments in Modeling.

[Los-D]

I had the Ampero Mini. It. Is. Not. A. FM0.

Not by a long shot.

(Still pretty fun unit tho)

I’m gonna win the ghetto match:
Gigged a Mooer 150 ge into the a fender superchamps x2, into the poweramp input I had it modded with.

Albeit the speaker is now replaced with a corcksniffery one…that amp is still in service, and often in use as one side of a stereo rig.

For a couple of years I ran a Mooer GE-300 into a Mustang III. I still use the Mustang in small rooms - light weight and 100 watts, what's not to like.

The Mooer's been replaced by an FM3, though.

Running an Ampero Mini in to my Fender TM Super Reveb 4x10 and am loving it! Sometimes a walk on the wild side ignites passion.

The demo is so good. I liked the delays too. If you enjoy it, it is the only thing which matters.

Tonight was the NUX Amp Core Studio… tomorrow?

It’s always fun to plug something in, then tweak a bit to see what it can do.

Side note if I missed mentioning it, the Hotone AMP-II Stomp fares very well too. Better for sure.

Maybe I’ll grow a pair and try the FM-3 versus stage. I’ve been putting it off.

Damn Mini. Sucked me back in. Easy money ‘yo.

What is this thread? Some of you are trying to create a Voltron of terrible gear.

Thought about a separate post for this but not really sure it’s called for. During recent field testing I was reminded again about how important “speakers” can be when using modelers, amps or pedals. This is true with traditional amps, modelers (IR’s and monitoring via headphones or studio monitors) or pedals (can be a combo of all of the above).

For example, finding the right IR can go along way towards “fixing” an amp to sound better. But it’s not going to make the incompatible compatible.

Finding that home plate for your ears is something every user might want to identify. Once that’s done, most everything else is easy.

I strongly believe that’s the most basic foundational thing you can do for yourself on your tone journey. Once you find what works for you in this department it makes all other departments much easier to classify. I would start with well-known amps and equipment for this step.

Sorry to the vets of this, just trying to help out new folks. Vets, if you feel I am off base feel free to counter…

I'd say Fender TM Super Reverb 4x10 negates the cheap quite a bit

3 out of 4 brands listed make unique and useful products in my opinion.

It may not be everyone’s first choice but it def not ghetto. Having an established preamp augmented by four well known divers isn’t something to just write off for sure. I’m playing at lower volume levels, yes. But there is something to be said about multiple donkeys carrying a load.

I’d like to believe that this unit loaded with four Celestion G10 45-watt Creambacks might just be a nice easily portable equivalent of a 4x12 when that level of volume isn’t needed. I could be entirely wrong but I am seriously contemplating this experiment.

I bet it sounds great on it's own too!

It does. At this point I’m just being addicted to “better.”

It’s an amazing combo I think most might learn something positive from… whether they keep it or not.

Upgrading the speakers is a ~$500 investment though. Not too bad considering my price for the amp but still considerable even with resale of OEM Fender speakers. I’m trying to decide if it’s worth it as a keeper. I have plenty of good gear already transitioned to my sweet spot.

Just bought four G10 8 ohm replacements with a 20% off coupon. $433 shipped and tax. We’ll see. Noticeably different freq response graphs from 200-800hz more or less.

 

[KingsXJJ]

I’m thinking that the extra DB in that range will bring the meat and the Creamback high end will bring the rest.
But we all know graphs don’t necessarily mean squat. The description of what they offer is usually encapsulated by who is describing what.

Mooer makes some nice reverb pedals but don't know if they are like studio grade. Check out the A7 (Ambient special) and the R7 (Regular algos).

Hotone makes good stuff too.

I had posted about a new looper pedal by Zoom somewhere on this forum. Its start/ stop footswitches are designed poorly though.
