Just a quick sneak peek at something we've been perfecting for a year or two now, secretly. I've often been asked when we are going to come out with an IR loader or amp modeler of some sort. Some have asked why we don't make more pedalboard friendly amps as well.
I didn't want to just do that.
It's hard to make a better IR loader. It sounds better if the IR is better, all things being equal.
And I didn't want to just come out with another modeler, even though neural modeling is so much easier these days thanks to NAM.
Plus, generally most solid state amps just simply don't respond like a tube amp. I like tube amps. I like the give and take, the push and pull. I like when you push it right on the edge, there's this compression-kind-of-clipping-kind-of-thing that until now was impossible to figure out. Modelers got close, but still - it just felt.... like plastic.
So we partnered up with SynergyAmps and designed something really great, so good, in fact, that it's patent protected now.
I'll give you more info over the next few days, but as it stands right now, this is probably the best thing we've ever created. There's simply nothing else like this on the market. I, too, get tired of hearing "game changer" in marketing, but this isn't just a game changer - it's a whole new game, on a new field, with new rules, using a new type of ball.
Here's a couple of quick images before you see it everywhere in NAMM footage.
P.S.- I spy with my little eye a ToneKing Royalist preamp pedal.
