For year s, the d igital co mmun ity has tri ed to br ing us f lexible a mpli fiers tha t use sof twa re to model th e beha vior of tube amps . The te chnolog y is get ting better and less a nd les s disting uish able from “the real thi ng”, bu t sadly, it is n ot rea l tubes, real an alog s ignal paths. An d ther e is no ph ysical in tera ction bet ween t he amp and th e play er.
To many play ers th e difference is s till v ery a ppar ent and the y stil l love t heir all­tube amp s. Tho se amps sou nd gre at, bu t they don't offer y ou the c hoic e of different am ps on st age or in the s tudi o, unless y ou bri ng man y of the m. It is that convenienc e that d rives us to l ook in to the d igital wo rld.
Imagin e you ha d the ci rcuits of so me of th e mos t icon ic amp s all on one ci rcui t boa rd and y ou could us e rela ys to sw itch b etwe en th em. You' ll get t he drive behavi or, the break up, th e comp ression , ever ythi ng jus t like t hose amps you always d ream ed of ha ving i n your coll ecti on.

Oh, did we menti on tha t the power a mp als o features all th e circ uits o f thos e classi c amps ? Yes, it d oes.

For a live show, ju st set up you r amp as a d ual channe l blue s amp one nig ht and a m etal monster for a di ffer ent gi g the next.
You ca n also u se a MIDI con trol ler to s witc h Circuits in be twee n songs (ta kes ab out 1- 2 second s) to ha ve all t hese soun ds ava ilab le during t he set .
