    I just wish they would do a VHX 50w, or have a switch (or an option in the preferences) to turn off 2x KT77 to turn the 100w to 45-50w. That’s all I want, everything else is perfect!

    • @Spidouz
      @Spidouz Рік тому +1

      If not, then they could release a VHXS for Stereo and/or Dry/Wet by having 2x 50w amp and having a way to split signal to send pure analog Dry sound to one Cab and the digital Wet sound to another cab. Then all you need is a Stereo 2x12” Cab and you have a very simple Dry/Wet or Stereo rig…

    Ok, so, between 20:00 to 21:00, while saving the cab sim, Nick kills the output to the physical cab to "sample the sim."
    I have to imagine, it would've been mentioned somewhere if it had one, like the Boss head... or, is it the Yamaha... ICR...
    Anyway... does the VHX have a built in speaker that Nick is hearing? Or, must it be an external monitor or even silent, possibly, for him, for the "cab sim demo" portion?
    It just sure does seem as though he is actually hearing his own demo... to me, anyway.

    • @politoleo

    It would have been perfect if it had a reactive loadbox built in instead of disabling the power amp when no cab is attached. all IRs sound good only with a real power amp not with simulated power amps. Maybe a version 2 that has this feature and it will truly be the future of amps. I like the idea

    • @politoleo
      @politoleo 4 роки тому +3

      We did it on the first prototype and results were actually worse because a reactive loadbox can only approximate "one speaker curve" of load, and with different speakers it resulted in worse performance. Instead the load is simulated in a different way and it actually changes with the speaker selection. But sure, for amps without this tech, a load box would behave better.

    @the80386 4 роки тому +1

    Interesting concept but I don't think it'll catch on. When people buy discrete analog tube amps, it's because of the simplicity and assurance that it will last for decades and won't just die because of repairability. But if you add digital bits like screens and microchips, you're bringing failure-prone and irreparable bits back. If that's the case, then may as well get a proper modeler like axefx or line6 that offer vastly more DSP power and options in the digital realm and pair it with a pure analog amp (and still stay at a similar cost to this one).

    • @politoleo
      @politoleo 4 роки тому

      There is a picture of it inside somewhere over the net, if you look at it you would probably change your thought about repairability, it's a Diezel and it's built to last!

      Also a modeler plus a regular amp won't give you the capability to store all the settings (gain/tonestack/deep/presence/volumes...) like the VHX, and the VHX would still be a breeze to operate, no midi setup, no ground loop or no other gear to gear related issue.
