Re: What are you gassing for?
Hi live in West Auckland. I am looking for a guitar player (pref heavy metal) who can teach me to Chug. Any good samaritans?
Thanks
Xavier

I had a lovely few GAS-free months. However, Marshmallow has me pining for more low-powered tube amps, and some time with Strummers' Jazzmaster has made me offset-curious. So, thanks, guys.

I have stock of Simplifier version 2 en route from Chile. Worth waiting for.

Re: What are you gassing for?
Mostly they've revoiced the preamp and power saturation stages to make more gain available and give better dynamics. Also added a reverb, which is the only digital part and it's on a side-chain, so the main circuit is still all analog.

Wow, amazing what a bit of AI can do these days
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Re: What are you gassing for?
I'm wondering if I should get an actual guitar amp. At the moment I am using a powered wedge and an IR pedal, with a TS9 to add some grit.
It's ok, but not as good as the times I've used a proper guitar amp.
The main problem is that I have a dodgy back so I don't enjoy carrying stuff around. I'd have to carry the wedge (part of our PA), my pedalboard AND an amp. I'm pretty much looking for a practice amp as they're easy enough to mic up. I see amps are starting to get a lot lighter but, playing baritone, I'd like a 12" speaker or at least two 10" so that cuts out many practice amps.
I'd like something Marshallish though that's a common sound in modelling amps so it doesn't have to have the badge. The thing I don't like about modelling amps is that they do a lot of the stuff on my pedalboard (chorus, reverb, etc) without doing ALL of it so I'd still need to carry the pedalboard around. Oh, and even if they did, I'd still need to go up to the amp and turn knobs and that, which is a pain as I sit down to play. I also don't need most of the models on modelling amps so I'd be looking for something with a valve preamp, a 12" speaker and not a lot of bells and whistles. Light, too, which means the transformer would probably be outside, on the wall wart. For about $500-something tops.
The search continues though I can't see much diff in playing through a wedge and playing through something really clean like a JC. But I do spend a lot of time looking at amp reviews.

Re: What are you gassing for?
If weight is an issue, I'd suggest getting a separate head & cab...that makes both objects a much easier carry-in. How may watts do you need? Do you mic up the current cab?Vince wrote: ↑Mon Jun 19, 2023 9:37 am I'm wondering if I should get an actual guitar amp.

Katana makes an awesome platform for pedals or hybrid with the inbuilt effects, you'd struggle to find anything better!Vince wrote: ↑Mon Jun 19, 2023 9:37 am I'm wondering if I should get an actual guitar amp. At the moment I am using a powered wedge and an IR pedal, with a TS9 to add some grit.
