UA AUDIO FX AMPS RUBY, WOODROW & DREAM
Putting a modeled amp in a pedal is not new but putting a state of the art one right down to the perfect modeled accutronics reverb tank sound is.You can use them for applications that modelers like a Fractal Audio AX FXIII would be used or plug it into your guitar amp, old school. Yes, you only get one perfect modeled amp but your listeners don't care whether they are an audience at a club or a client you are making a soundtrack to sell his 'whatever'. Bottom line at $400.00 USD and a very moderate home studio you are in business.
The choices are a Vox AC30, a Fender Tweed 55 era and a Fender Twin Reverb from '65.
CONCLUSION
Made obvious by omission is a Marshall of any kind. Perhaps they have in mind a Plexi and JCM 800 for next year.
Most important is NOTHING gets closer to the amps they have modeled. Others can sound beyond killer but at best 95% of the way there. This though is simply at worst is 99% of the way there to any listener.
It's a modeler it will not have the 'feel' of a real amp but I will not digress into that.
A modeller for a recording medium can be totally ideal. If that recording medium
requires no emotional commitment it can not be beat. BIG BUT ....for the next
Jimi Hendrix who needs a direct connection between the touch from his
hands and the feedback from his amp both literally and
emotionally it is non existent with a modeler.
WTF
If someone tells me they are as good as an amp it is like a hooker saying they are not a prostitute, lol.
Besides, why go on a vacation to Paris, London or Venice when you can look at the photographs.
the fine print
99% of any modeller is software. In a few years the tech will allow this in a cell phone and an AXE FX level unit to be run from a mid priced laptop. At that time any old tech modeller that cost a couple of thousand will become a door stop. So to cash in know on the recording for other media that sell the public the new whatever this is a budget level high end sound, answer.
