So far so good. I think it’s possible I really like UA’s cab IR’s a lot. Not saying they don’t have any fairy dust in the molding but that’s what I’m thinking. I should try running another modeling platform through my OX Stomp and see.
I gotta laugh though (and this isn't a criticism of the OX Stomp): UA fans range from excited to really, really passionate about their cabs, which is fine. Then on the other end, we've got TMP users going "I don't see what the big deal about using your preferred IR's is. Just use what it has."
Lol! Sure is! Very fascinating to watch.I gotta laugh though (and this isn't a criticism of the OX Stomp): UA fans range from excited to really, really passionate about their cabs, which is fine.

What a strange world of gear.

So you’re running the Lion and the OX Stomp? Ain’t cheap, but that basically solves the issue of no effects loop. Very cool.
No I’ve not tried the Lion with the Ox. Just the Lion on its own and the cabs sound good but the Ox has more dialing in options. I may give that a try but I want to leave the Ox at home so seeing if the Lion can work as my direct sound for gigs I have to go that way. Ohhh on the loop thing I run my effects after the Lion into a direct box for XLR so that’s not an issue for me if I use just the Lion
The lack of any cab adjustment is a big miss on the UA amp sim pedals. I wasn't over the moon about any of the UA Lion cabs and there's nothing I can do about that except combine the pedal with another cab sim product. If they offered at least some different mics ala OX Stomp, that would help.
I like the greenback cab in there and the rest would be fine for certain mix scenarios but not my play live or for fun go to. Need to register it so I can try out the others tat get loaded but yeah may end up using the OX with it. I’ve never had a product I didn’t not like something about it so UA obviously missing the boat on features I’d like isn’t new to me and I now tend to overlook those things if the sound is good and work around it.
I hate that the PS100 only has one speaker output, and splitters are just plain janky to me. The Mark V:25 through a PS2a was amazing.Very timely video. So this thought has really came around for me again. FM3 and GM800 on a board on top of the PS100 controlled by either my FC6 or 12, depending on how big the stage is.
IMO the PS-100 is a bit of a waste of money for this use though. It sounds good but you could just use a cheaper solid-state poweramp. The PS-100 uses are 90% with tube amps IMO.Very timely video. So this thought has really came around for me again. FM3 and GM800 on a board on top of the PS100 controlled by either my FC6 or 12, depending on how big the stage is.
I was thinking the same when I watched that video but if you want a tube power section it’s a good option IMHO. I’ve not bonded with solid state power but I’d be willing to give it a go if I had need.
I get you. But the problem is you want massive headroom. Which SS amps aren't going go have unless you get some 2/3u rack behemoth. Some Blackstar Amped 4 turd is not what I want for a power amp. So it's kind of one of those slippery slopes to "just get a Katana and be done with it". Which I am not about at all.
For me, too; it becomes this OCD jenga game where I am just attracted to the thumbnail of that video where everything fitting on the top of the PS100 as much as I am drawn to how it all sounds
Depending on what i want i usually use Lion direct with its cabs or into Ox Box and guitar cab.
I'm actually in the "these things aren't really overpriced" camp on this, but your comparison is, like, I dunno, "my [insert watch that costs a couple grand] isn't overpriced, look at [insert watch that has similar quality of materials but fewer features and costs ten grand]!!!!"
Good to know. The Lion with a Ox and a guitar cab is a setup I plan on trying.
