My first day with each unit

[SillyOctpuss]

Erm... guys... this thread was meant to be about me.

American call out videos, bleh.

Here's the Irish doing it right.





Not gonna lie. I embarrassed myself posting that one

Zoom 202: Woah, this is great. (Sold it later)
Boss GT8: Woah, this is great. (Sold it later)
Kemper Profiler: Woah, this is great. (Sold it and bought it four times)
Axe FXIII: Woah, this is great. (Bought it twice, sold it once)
Quad Cortex: Woah, this is great. (Sold it later)

Currently on the market for another Quad Cortex. The Stadium just seems too gigantic for me, like it would weight a tonne. Never owned a Line 6 product, sadly.

Tonex - spend six hours trying to figure out the order of installing all the installers and product updaters and registration and signing up for everything, only to have everything not work when you fire it all up. Then go look for help online and see that IK's forum has been down for several days. So you have to piece everything together off random old Reddit responses.

Yep. I got a Tonex yesterday, I hear you!

For me on Kemper, it was half a day reviewing stock profiles and realizing that 90% of them are straight trash. I just deleted all of them and starting exploring the rig database and commercial profiles from that point.

I liked the Kemper cleans to mid-gain profiles (after sorting through to the good ones), but high gain was always a weak point for me. I think that is why I deferred back to modeling - it is just easier to get to a good sounding result for me.

Back to real amps?

Keep in mind it has gotten MUCH better since the early days!

Okay playing back the finished captures, the one from the MOTU sounds better than the one from the Apollo although that may just be because the levels are easier to set. There's no noise issues either which is great.

I think I need a proper re-amp box though because the output level is really hot coming out of the sound card.

Don't go down the rabbit hole

Fight off the GAS!

(Sold it and bought it four times)

Knowing there are others like me who have sold and re-bought shit multiple times is such a relief

I've done that with Fractal several times and never learn my lesson

 

[Cactusprick]

Boss GT-5,6,8,10.... - wow doesn't like real amp at all. Meh, but it looks badass with all the switches and pedals. effects are cool maybe??? errr maybe not... Time to sell harmonic converger too
Vox Tonelab - this thing has real tooooob so gotta sound just like real thing... errrrr no..
Roland GR...... GRRRRRRRR!!!!!! damn those videos tricking me I could turn into a multi-instrumentalist with a guitar. Now what am i going to do with double sided tape residue. GRRRRR
Digitech RP series - this thing is ugly as sin and sounds like utter trash... what have I done??
Line6 - sounds cool... but always feels something is missing... what is it????
Fractal - holy smokes this thing sounds great. How do I connect these blocks again??? I have lost sound now. WTF am I doing wrong?
Kemper - WOW just wow I am never going to sell this. Sell and buys 5 times so forth so forth

Now with 6th(?) MK1 Kemper (yeah i know i know) - probably never sell.
Now with Fractal AM4 which is like 5th Fractal Unit (has been an avid user of Axe FX2s for a long time, FM3, never owned Axe FX 3)

Wow, “grody” is a word I haven’t heard in like 30 years. Sudden nostalgia trip
