(UPDATED for new FW!) EVH amp vs Axe Fx, QC and TMP...

[James Freeman]

Were the beta testers wearing scarves and focusing on the glitch delays instead?

Yeah, these, don't forget the heavily reliced Fender Jaguars.

Quick…. someone shootout all the other non Fender TMP amps against copies of the real thing so they can fix all the “bugs” with those. A bug with the model?

Good luck.

 

[texhex]

Let’s not forget that thing is $1700!

It's possible they need a greater level of oversampling, same as early Helix.

IIRC Line 6 was able to increase the oversampling once they optimised the model implementations to use fewer CPU cycles, which then freed up enough CPU to dedicate more CPU to oversampling.

I think this late into the game they should have came out of the gate at 96k with a little more power under the hood.

Haha maybe I won't do another one too soon... I don't want to stir up too much poopies…

would be great if users didn't have to scrutinise this stuff to be able to trust that its working as it should. Theres more than enough instances where its been totally worth uncovering because eventually it leads to much better modelling accuracy and everyone wins. Well done @GuitarJon , hopefully it keeps Fender on their toes to make sure everything is the best it can be.

I wasn't on the beta team.

TMB isn’t down the with the ohmG according to the TOP. Problem solved.

All of this is reminding me of my brief adventures with the 50w 6L6. I made this video:



Then it broke, got a replacement, made this video:



Then it broke again so I just sent it back to Thomann. I really miss that amp, it sounded so good!

 

[norminal]

Looks like they don't all sound the same after all

The TMP model isn’t even close. I’m willing to bet it doesn’t even feel like a 5150 to play. Makes me wonder how true Fender’s story about having to get approval from EVH is.

For $1,600, every single one of the models should be spectacular.

 

[FuzzyAce]

If it sounded as good as their real amp, then you wouldn't buy the real amp.

So the whole “EVH approved of the model and it sounds identical” story is bullshit then? Or did this “bug” somehow happen to show up afterwards and prior to the launch?

Smells fishy to me.

 

[norminal]

Annnd yet AGAIN, another product released to the public that’s unfinished.

Oddly enough the bug was identified shortly after Jon’s video

They already have a slick GUI called Axe edit , it’s just not on the unit ,but it’s already there and easy to use

AGREE WITH THAT...but i meant making the onboard gui more friendly for the masses..
