If you're tired of tweaking, this is for you!

The Skreddy​

• (a solid-state emulation of) the full preamp section including bridged Normal and Brilliant channels
• 3-band Hiwatt* model tone stack set to my favorite levels (typical David Gilmour settings)
• power amp emulator including Presence calibration
• speaker cab emulator
• balanced XLR output that sends a strong noise-free signal to the sound board or recording interface (includes a bit of resistance drag to eliminate that typical loud "pop" when plugged in).

If it works, it's pretty cool. :)

There's quite a bit of "possibly" and "maybe" in the sales pitch that makes me pucker a little.

This is one of those things that will either be great or terrible… and the only way to find out is to play one yourself

 

[newholland]

b.b.b...ut i dont play like david gilmour..

im all for any hiwatt anything almost ever. but this one seems a little subjectively subjective on favorite and unsettable parameters?

It sounds like a product where users will be immediately going "It sounds good, but I wish I could adjust X and Y..."

 

[MirrorProfiles]

"if you're tired of tweaking" sounds like someone who's lost their will to live

That dial has too many options left.

 

[Jarick]

Well that’s different.

I’ve spent so much time playing amps that are just Volume + Tone or Volume + Cut controls I guess just a volume doesn’t seem that strange to me

Skreddy’s put some effort into 70’s Gilmour tones over the years, that fact alone makes me interested in this. My *only* interest in Hiwatts lies in recreating Gilmour tones, this could be a good option for that.

It should be a slider…so I’m out…

I take it you saw HeHasJizzonhisHands get mad at me when I made that joke about a Mesa eq clone with knobs over on SevenString?

lol, no, it’s just a goofy comment.

It was funnier last night in my mind I promise.

Now we can all know how Sascha feels about every product release ever.

On the positive side, it seems like a UI that even Laxu can get behind!

It could be cool. I've gigged with a Radial JDX Direct Drive in the past, which is sort of the same idea, with a few more options. I used an AMT tube preamp for overdrive etc and it sounded really good live.

yea well I laughed and my comment was a lot funnier to me in my drunken state than this morning as well.

Skreddy makes a lot of quality gear. It will be really well made with good quality parts and definitely won't sound rubbish. It really depends whether the feature set or lack thereof works for you or not.

I'd love to have a peek at the guts tbh, purely for curiosities sake.

On the contrary! I'd be the first in line to ask for a few more knobs.

There’s nothing to tweak! You’re asking for more function, not a change to UI.
