So would you say, pertaining to this particular amp/experiment, in order of tone/feel, it would go:Since I got the amp, I've been less happy with modeled tones. They often sound weird to me now, either lacking punch and clarity or sounding two dimensional or not reacting as I'd like with my guitar volume. Clean stuff can be fine but the higher gain stuff doesn't scratch the itch. Where the amp through a load box and IR just sounds right now.
So I was spinning through software options and remembered that Tonex exists. Spent a good chunk of time figuring out how to route everything this morning, but got a capture of the JJ Junior made through the Captor (no cab).
Sounds fantastic! Really close to the amp sound and feel, actually may clean up a little better than the amp. With an IR and the basic Tonex effects, it's a really good setup for practice. I've been learning songs this week focusing on slowing them down and playing accurately, really nailing the chords, not rushing. This will be a great option.
I did upload the capture to the cloud and will shoot another later once the Suhr Reactive Load arrives. Will be neat to compare those two.
But with the new Tonex software, you can lock the cab IR (like on Kemper), and I found a bunch of the other user captures sound really similar as they use a quality load box too. Technology is crazy!
1. The amp itself
2. Capture tech
3. Modeling
