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.

Wow, just noticed has an "inject" mode, where it can run directly between an amplifier and speaker.

This is what NDSP cortex stomp could have been
Larger touch screen on top
8 Amps
Deluxe , Twin Ac30 Morgan , Plexi /2203,/ Freidman /5153gold red
Same 2 encoders from Nano
4 presets
Cab block
Eq
Delay / rev

I would have bought that for the $499

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.
