    I am loving how my Mercury edition sounds with the Cabzeus speaker emulator - taking the rec out and the speaker out and I turn the mono amp into a stereo signal

      @@GUILLE-nu8rv Recording out is stereo. It will give you the full tone shaping and IR's just without the power section. You could use one record out back into the mono power block and the other into an Amp1.
      The digital effects will be stereo also.

    All the current modelers out in the market are great (awesome even.) But those base clean tones in the Amp1 products (in my opinion) sound better than any of them. That's a really nice board too !! I love all things stereo, this is a great rig.

Is it possible to run both amps on only one 4/12 Marshallbox? Regards, Chris

    Ah by 'eck, back in my day we were lucky to have a cable that worked between t'amp n guitar and we was happy I tell thee lol
    Best set up I ever had for studio and live was a 1970s Marshall Bluesbreaker, some old battered overdrive and an amazing 1960s phaser pedal with two wheels, one on each side with "Balls" and "Speed" on them. Now as I puzzle to get the sound I want from a host of devices and quietly sob in the corner. I am a simple man - I just want a great clean sound, a growling OD sound, a bit of reverb and occasionally some delay. I wish I had the money to build a slightly smaller version of the rig in this video as it looks perfecto (prob only one BluGuitar amp needed for me) but I'm looking forward to making my own version with the Boss IR200 and DD200 (and a few of the fx I love already) when they arrive. I really just want the tech to get out of the bloody way so I can concentrate on playing and writing. It's what we all want really. Lovely rig by the way Paul - well jealous :)

  • @gooberthoreau
    @gooberthoreau 2 роки тому

    I wouldn't call it an Amp X, but the cost of everything it took to make that board will be less than the cost of the Amp X. As I recall Thomas quoted it at around $2,500, and that was a couple years ago, so I expect it to be around 3k when it comes out eventually.

    Yes you did two that whst i did to 2 amp1 edt but got victory the duchess all up wet dry wet but most time just 2 bluamp . Play some pedal gurus tube comp & dd deck drive mix things up strymon too . I think blue amp more feel in tone over victory duchess. New one update give you poweramp feel still love victory things . But blue amp 1 great 👍
    Two a#b set cool on abc orange y out two amp you did cool . If use different drive on two cool vintage on 1 classics on 2 amp cool . Great better amp some lite weight speakers box great strymon big Gilmore tone . With good guitar prs Special you are in heaven an other prs an other makes . Amp 1 kick ass over other digital one axe fx other they good good routing options in them . But amp 1 feel like real amp in room
