Nice seeing more alternatives with separate power amp modeling. No MIDI (maybe over USB?) as I could tell though and fx limited to reverb and delay. Not that much cheaper than a Two Notes Opus though.

According to the website for the product, its Midi Over USB-C Port ..... what Midi PC and Midi CC it supports and stores and responds to however is not mentioned anywhere on the site or in the manual ?
 
Seems like Nux aiming for the Two Notes Opus. The preamps included seem to be largerly cleaner amps so this is meant to be more like a pedal platform.

I'm never that fond of "single clickable encoder for scrolling and parameter values" but maybe it works well enough in practice, considering it seems the buttons above it can quickly access the different sections.

It's not clear how the movable mic cab sim is presented in the onboard UI as all the screenshots of it are from the editor.
 
New 1.1.4 firmware and editor released 4/18. Minor fixes.

I’m really digging mine. Love the Plexi’s (seem to breathe) and Cyber IR stuff. IMO, the 4K moniker on amp modeling is earned. Neat unit.

Needed more encoders. Doesn't have more encoders. Case closed.

I hadn’t noticed that as a problem but I only adjust one parameter at a time. The app is nice too. I like the speaker adjustment layout in it.

One great thing about it is the quality of the modeling and stereo IR’s with super low latency, standalone power amp modeling and EQ. Add in nice delay or reverb selection so even if you use your own favorite dirt pedal or preamp, it’s a great utility device as a finisher when recording.

I’d like to see more amps added but following NUX’s history with firmware those will come in 2.0 among other refinements. Neat unit at $199 but getting close to $300 without a significant 2.0 update is kind of different for me. I’m glad I got one when I did.

If the amps they add sound as good as the 1959 Superlead it currently has, that’ll be sweet.
