This is a very cool video that shows just how far modelling and multifx have come. The bypassing of the Marshall preamp to give other amp sounds from the amp modelling direct to the power amp sounds great, and still gives you your dirty preamp from your pure amp as a switchable option.

When I saw this video, I was really surprised. Its a great idea and I hope other brands follow.

I made a thread about this last summer...my friend bought it when it first came out. It is AMAZING. The thing has a XLR out so you can just record direct and model amps and record it nicely. We did one of the songs of their album with it, all guitars ran through it. It fooled so many people, they couldn't believe it was a multi-fx board. Also, the build quality is tops, its all metal/aluminum casing and the stomp switches are nice too! Amazing piece of equipment.

christ, i haven't so much as sniffed a multi-effects unit since 1996. that's not what i expected at all. too complicated for me i suspect, but interesting nonetheless.

Its actually really easy to use, after you've spent some time setting it up and getting the sounds you want.

what's the deal with the USB port...are you able to edit shit via software? that would be pretty tits malloy.

That's really impressive stuff. I used to plug straight into the effects return on my Princeton Chorus for ultimate cleans - modelers sounded pretty epic through it as well.

All the modeler demos seem to emphasize one tone: heavy dist., chorus, delay, non-spring reverb. I wish there were modelers that specialized specifically in clean tones, rather then just the token twin and JC models. It seems like they over-gain all the amps they emulate.

It comes with recording software, I just don't remember which brand, but yeah, you can edit shit, etc. via USB...use it as a recording interface.

AC30 yumms.

That was fantastic, good on Digitech for doing something really practical for helping peeps work within one's amp setup.
