Wampler Pedalhead

[MTB1973]

Any updates on possible release date?

I'm struggling with the concept here. If the Pedalhead is implementing a speaker impedance curve, and my modeler is also implementing a speaker impedance curve, am I doubling up on speaker impedance curves here?

Would I have to turn off power amp modeling on my modeler? I know I can do that on the Fractal units, but I don't think Stadium allows for that currently.

Why wouldn't I use my modeler's power amp modeling? Am I supposed to offload all power amp and cab modeling to the pedal? Seems like that would be an issue since I normally route that kind of thing internal on the modeler to different outputs.

Agree. Cool pedal for use with preamps though!

Yes either you offload all the modeling, which is way better on the pedalhead than any modeler could ever be having access to the real current flowing in the speaker, or there is a modeler mode you can choose on the pedalhead where the response is going to be closer to an hi fi tube amp.

So in that mode, I could keep the power amp modeling enabled on my modeler?

Yeah, and have the output of your modeler then go through another round of A/D/A conversion in the Wampler so that its solid state power amp can sound like a hi-fi tube amp...

Yes!

Yes, you'll loose 0.4 to 0.8 additional ms latency but you'll gain way more.

At that point I'll ditch the modeler for a tube preamp, but that's me!

Couldn’t agree more, actually.
