MODELLER- TC ELECTRONIC Ampworx ___ NEW ___ High Gain Series ...all 3

TC ELECTRONIC AMPWORX 

MOLDELER Amp-in-a-Box

Last month we got 3 classic amps. A Marshall JTM 45, a Vox Ac30 and a Fender DeLuxe (minus the reverb, lol).

They look cool, they have many features and they are not overly pricey.

This month we get the high gain amps that came along next as the new generation. The Marshall JCM 800. The MESA Dual Rectifier and the Peavey 5150.

So they all do indeed sound good. Note I said 'good'. First they have the same problem as all modelers. In essence you are playing a recording of a sound. On YouTube a real amp is a recording of its sound. When you hear a modeler on YouTube it is a recording of a recording. 

In otherwards what you hear is what you get with a modeler. With a real amp and even an analog pedal you only half know because they both real. Not a recording. 

One is a live play with real people the other is a movie. A live play on YouTube and movie are both in essence movies.

 

Most serious Pros have given into the idea that they have both a real amp and a modeler. Primarily for sheer practical purposes. 

So such being the case these should only be governed by comparing them to ALL modelers. 

I will hardly mention them all but the Amplitude ToneX has much better sonic specs. You can use software or get an interface to model your own amps etc. Or just take advantage of the already hundreds of guys sharing theirs. 

At $330.00 USD it is very cheap for serious pro amps. 

But if you like the price and simplicity consider this before you jump in. 

The TC at $150.00 USD is less than half but you only get one amp. 

The Hotone Ampero Mini is $230.00 USD but the same kind of spec but you get 52 amps.

The Valeton GP200 LT is $280.00 USD but it ups the spec to a better pro sound of the Amplitude and 140 amps.
