I'm jumping ship.

Post by Reeltarded »

We goin single device and a controller. Neural and my first *new* guitar in maybe 20 years. :)

I am turning vintage Marshalls into technology and gAIn.

10 years ago I was on the right path. Remember when I sold the collection? Never was sad. This should be easy.

QUAD CORTEX AWAY!!

Well, modern times have now left their mark here too... For me, these digital amplifiers are like a vegan soy schnitzel, somehow reasonable but also not the real thing...
Professionally I am also on the silicon and processor side, for me the tube amplifiers (which are actually the opposite of reasonableness) are a relaxing hobby, especially the process of assembling them.

Haven't played with the newer digital stuff, but I'm sure it's great. Just need to get an air freshener that smells like burning dust to make it feel authentic.

It's a Roland Cube 20 for grownups.. ok.. "the elderly".. fine. This is only *not* someone's grandfather's amp because I don't have kids. :)

First thing I noticed was there isn't even one dB of clean bleeding through in even the dirtiest patches. Other devices have a direct tinkling sound the distortion rides on. These things sound like lots of real amps. The clean sounds don't sound like finger noise.

Pretty damned real, in hyper-surreal way. Lovely!
