    Do you think his other amps will get the same preamp treatment ?

      Hi There. The interview sections of this video were filmed back in January 2023 during our California content tour. We wanted to include these interview clips as they offer some great insight into Dave's build process
      Hopefully this clears up any confusion!

      I do have an AXE III but I clearly prefer the IR-X, I also have a BE 100 DLX and as much as I like the AXE FX III the IR-X just sounds (to my ears) and feels better.

    ​I really don't see this thing as useful and more of a novelty. For $300-500, one could get a full-featured modeler, like Atomic Amplifier with SHARC DSP, 12 footsw., and more than 1 trick pony! imo

    • @Sir_Dickbag
      @Sir_Dickbag 8 місяців тому +1

      It’s not a one trick pony. And there’s something to be said for delivering just a few killer sounds rather than 500 average ones.

    • @StratsRUs
      @StratsRUs 8 місяців тому +1

      It's about all the choices, still, as you said.
      But I think it's good to have choices, especially from the amp makers themselves.
      I love my Helix, with its Placater etc.

    • @horaciococcioni8538
      @horaciococcioni8538 8 місяців тому

      I personally never bond with modellers. I started with an hd500, tried helix, had Iridium, and what I feel right is just a tube amp with a reactive load.
      I've tried also just the preamps of my amps with power amp and cab simulation and it's just as good for me.
      This gives you a clean channel, a great distorsion channel, and then by changing IRs and adding pedals, you can get pretty much any tone you want out of something like this, super easy.
      To each their own.

    • @horaciococcioni8538
      @horaciococcioni8538 8 місяців тому +12

      I agree, but this is not an overdrive, it's a two channel preamp with power amp simulation and IR, mainly for going out direct without and amp.
      You can use it also with any power amp and real cab to get a real tube amp in the room.
      Not an overdrive

    • @edb1913
      @edb1913 7 місяців тому +4

      They don’t all sound the same. This isn’t an overdrive it’s an actual amplifier. On UA-cam things do tend to sound the same, but I promise you this is so much more than an overdrive. Comparing this to the BE100 model in my Helix isn’t even fair. I love the Helix, but the difference in dynamic range and warmth is staggering. I run this through the return of my 5150 or my power cab, and this this thing is stunning. You have to hear it in the room.
