Do we need Guitar Amps???
Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2020 3:02 pm
Over the past 15years I have been the owner of ( in no particular order):-
Fender Blues De luxe
Fender Blues junior
Fender Hot Rod deluxe
Fender Deville
Vow Cambridge
Vox Valvetronix, (probably all of the range)
Vox AC15 AC30 AC15 Hand Wired
Pinnacle
Fender Super Champ X2
Roland Cube
Boss Katana 50 and Artist
Peavey Delta Blues
and probably others that I have forgotten
I have enjoyed ( most) of them but have found that having changed to the Joyo AC Tone last year I am happier with my sounds than I ever have been
I don't pretend to have mastered "that sound" that has not been my intention ( some of the Shads sounds I don't enjoy) but what I have found is that with amp simulation I can achieve everything I want both at home and out and about, all I need is my little pedal board ( 2 AC tones and a Zoom G1) , my volume pedal and an active monitor and I can play ( when we are allowed to again )anywhere that has a PA what ever the size of the room and with just my monitor for small rooms.
I have no intention of returning to amps.
Having read threads about guitar amps recently I wonder what the thoughts of folks here are regarding the future of Guitar amps?
