I only know how to change amps on the 1 to 4 presets next to the tuner button
You mean to change the default amp for each option on the amp selector switch? I dunno if thats possible!
Yeah that's what I mean, was hoping it was possible. So it seems that it just randomly selects amps on the dial eh

Anyone else having issues with looper practicing tab in the song script page?
I can't move the tabs for the loop to change the size of it.

Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Just checking out their website and about every 10 seconds or so a pop up tells you who bought one. I wonder how many they are manufacturing per minute??
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

May as well add to the amps you’ve had in passing 😉

Was playing mine today, great tones at low volumes or high, I have it beside my PC so I can watch YouTube instructional videos and play along, haven't tried the drummer thing yet but won't be far away, nice bit of kit.

Yeah I agree with JB, its a real cool bit of gear. I love the tone, through headphones especially.
I figured out the looper so I use that a lot for practicing song sections.
The bluetooth functionality is a godsend, so quick to fire up a song/backing track and get started.
My only complaint would be the drums actually. If I set the metronome for around 90 to 100 bpm and play a punk style riff with fast pal muting, it spits a slow rock/blues beat back at me. So yeah, its not perfect at giving you a drum beat you want. So in that scenario I try and find a loop on youtube that I like and load that up to play against.

I saw that. For privacy reasons you'd think that'd be a loop of fake orders.

Still can't decide if I want one.

Edit: Ordered one. I'm so impulsive...
