Vielen Dank, Chris! Das freut mich! Und Du wirst happy sein mit dem Amp 1! Ist ne super Kiste… Und zusammen mit der 1Control geht echt alles! Wünsch Dir viel Spaß beim Sound-Entdecken! Liebe Grüße aus der Pfalz!
Thank you for that great explanation how to get the sounds that we all want. I hope I will get my 1Control next week. Than I can kick that Midi stuff away. Greetings from Rheinhessen to the Pfalz.
Thank you for the kind words, brother! I‘ll keep my fingers crossed for you, that your 1Control shows up soon! Makes it way easier to get those cranked amp sounds! Greetings to Rheinhessen ausm Wald! 😜
Man, what a tone!! Thanks for sharing your experience with this product. I've been very curious about 1control since a heard about it. I thing you got very nice sounds with it. The fact of a so small piece of gear allow us access other features of amp 1 was a very good idea. Some time all you need it's a simple solution that helps improve your tone. I hope see you show us how this work at stage some day! bye
Dude! Thank you for the kind words! I‘m glad you like my video. And yeah, I thought about hooking up a midi controller with a dedicated expression knob, but thought there had to be another way. And carrying that idea around with me, Thomas released the 1Control. 😃 Just like that! It almost felt surreal. But I‘m extremely happy now. I do have a few phone videos from my first gig with it. If you‘re interested in it, I‘ll put together a little video. No powersoak, though. I played so loud, that I got my power amp cooking without it. 😃 I used the 1Control for a solo boost with the second master, though… I got nothing but compliments on my sound that night. I‘m really grateful for the Amp 1 and the 1Control. 🙌🏻
@@manuelbastian I always like to see how musicians deal with your equipament live. After all, it's live where things happen. If you ca share this live performance, I would be grateful. And, I'm curious, in this video, what do you use for speaker simulation? BluBox? thanks!
@@redjack2211 I‘ll try and edit something together. I only have snippets, but I‘m sure it‘s gonna be enough to get the picture. I used a real Celestion Century Vintage in a Grossmann isocab, mic‘d with an SM57 and an MD421. 🙂

@@manuelbastian Hi, Manuel, could I use the 1Control with Bluguitar Amp1 + Boss GT-1000 Core connecting with 4cable method . Should it be usefull for live playing ? Thanks.
@@49vojta I‘m not that familiar with the Boss GT1000 Core, but you should be able to connect it via 4 cable method. The 1Control doesn’t have anything to do with it. Think of it as a real simple and easy midi controller tailored to the needs of the amp 1‘s hidden features.
@@49vojta And it‘s super useful for live playing. You could program solo volumes with the boss as well. But having a dedicated volume pot and a footswitch, makes stuff super easy ob the fly, which is what you want for gigs.
Vielen Dank, das freut mich! 🙏🏻🥰 Der Amp 1 ist echt ne Waffe mit seinen 1,2kg. Jetzt mit easy Zugriff auf Powersoak, 2nd Gain und Master ist der unschlagbar!
I feel you, man! Like I said in the video: It easily doubles or triples the value of the Amp 1 for me! This is a serious piece of gear for sure! Coming from a vintage amp junkie… 😃
Nochmal eine dumme Frage, hab den 1control seit kurzem aber das Problem, dass er selbst wenn ich den Soak komplett auf minimum drehe immer noch ziemlich laut ist - definitiv zu laut für abendliches Spielen mit Nachbarn zum Beispiel. Kannst du mir zum Vergleich sagen, wie leise deiner wird… weiß nicht ob es ein Defekt ist. Ich mache eigentlich alles so wie im Anleitungsvideo.
Coole Review!! Und Highway Star ist echt mega. Ich war an der Guitar Summit. Hoffe du bist nächstes Jahr wieder dabei. Vielleicht sieht man sich ja am BluGuitar Stand 😊 Ich hab meine 1Control sogar benutzt, um im Clean Channel mehr Headroom zu haben, was als Pedal Plattform sehr von Vorteil ist. Hab übrigens im Hintergrund Rockmann Gear gesehen?? Geil!!! Weiter so 🤘🤘🤘❤️
Vielen Dank, mein Lieber! 🙏🏻🥰 Freut mich, wenn es Dir gefällt! Ich hoffe auch, dass ich nächstes Jahr dabei sein kann! Wär cool, wenn man sich dort sehen würde! Und klar, wenn man ein pedalbasiertes Setup spielt, kann Headroom ja auch echt mehr Sinn machen. Hab ich auch schon so gemacht, wenn ich zum Beispiel effektbeladene Clean Sounds brauch, Compressor, Flanger, Delay und Hall… Da macht es nicht so viel Spaß, wenn die Endstufe am Kotzen ist und man Hall und Delay gar nicht mehr hört beim Spielen. Da ändert dann auch die FX Loop nichts mehr dran. Aber für erdige, ehrliche Sounds, gibts nix Besseres in my humble opinion. Und ja, das ist Rockman Zeug. Hab mir irgendwann zum Spaß mal einen geholt und fands dann geil. Ich steh auf Bryan Adams, der das Zeug ja auch benutzt hat, wie viele andere auch zu der Zeit. Def Leppard‘s Hysteria ist auch ein Meilenstein mit Rockman Sound… 😃 Danke für Deine lieben Worte! 🙏🏻 Dann hoffentlich bis spätestens nächstes Jahr in Mannheim!
Thanks BRO for telling us about this, didn't know. I freaking love my Mercury and Can't wait to get these tones!!!! QUESTION I had a cheap Donner yellow fall delay only in the loop and took it out and made my Mercury sound much better. Do you think it was the quality of the pedal or what? What's the best delay for this and the way you hook it up? The parallel didn't work with the donner only the serial. Thanks and great playing!!!!!!
Haha, glad I could help, brother! 😁 As far as I know it was only a small proof of concept family made batch, but they are working hard on getting the production run ready! It definitely adds to a already nearly perfect solution! 😁 Thanks for watching, dude! Have a good one!
Vielen Dank! 🙏🏻🥰 Ja, Treble Boost in den Clean Channel ist super! Aber dann muss man nen Treble Booster mitnehmen. 😅 Und mit dem Amp 1 kommt man wirklich über viele Wege ans Ziel!
You definitely need it! 😃 I think the only thing that won‘t work with the silver is switching the fx loop with the presets. But you should ask Thomas to be sure. And thank you for your kind words! 🙏🏻🥰 I‘m glad you like my playing!
Super Video, simple Q: What happens with the soak between full on and the jump ??? At home it is awesome but I thought I could use it with the band as well?? I usually play Master @4 with the band. I thought I could go master 8 and soak @15 Watts or so. Did not try it with the band yet, but is 7 Watts enough???
Thank you! 🙏🏻🥰 Between full and the halfway point the volume still decreases. So between the soak and the master volume, you should find a setting that suits the gig! 🙂👌🏻
This was a great video…..beautiful tones. The part that to this day, I don’t know about when it comes to both of Thomas’s amps are if the Amp 1 is for clean to vintage/classic tones, then can I get a good 80’s, EVH, hot-Rodded plexi tone? Those tones aren’t considered “modern high-gain tones”, at this point. I’ve even talked with Thomas about this. I have yet to hear a really good 80s, classic, EVH (Fair Warning), or Ratt (Invasion of your Privacy) style tone. An SLO can get that tone, but I get hesitant to say “SLO” because everyone equates an SLO to ultra-high gain, when it’s the SLO’s plexi/crunch channel that’s so good. Anyway, I was wondering if you were able to pull that style of tone out of the Amp 1.
Thank you, brother! 🙏🏻🥰 Well, considering, that a lot of people got those sounds in the eighties with a plain old Marshall 2203/2204 and a boost pedal of their liking and that I recorded some of my favorite sounds with a 2203 and a treble boost in front of it, I‘d say you can definitely get the sounds of that era with the Amp 1. The EQ is powerful enough to bend the sound in any direction and there‘s way more gain, than on those old Marshalls, especially combined with the built-in boost. But you can always try your own boosts, overdrives, distortions, what have yous, to go to a different direction. I mean, after all Eddie got these tones out of a Marshall and the Amp 1 is a great Marshall or rather 3 great Marshalls…
@@manuelbastian That’s exactly what I was thinking, as well. All those great tones from the late 70’s an d80’s was with those old 60’s and early 70’s Marshalls. So, I would think Thomas, being the genius he is, copied those fundamental (true) tones almost exactly. I think I’ll give this model a shot. Thanks for the reply!
@@phillamoore157 Have you seen the videos, where Thomas compares the Amp 1 to all his vintage amps? To say he comes close would be an understatement. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed! 🙂 Give it a few days! Those very active eqs gave me a bit of a learning curve. But once you get what they do, you’re off to the races!
@@manuelbastian Yeah…I made it a point to watch that. That’s where we got to talking (I was stunned he even responded to me). Thomas is a GREAT player. The problem with these guys, and this is an all-out epidemic on RUclips demo’s is that, it was non-stop lead playing the entire time. While I’m a fan of that, when you’re trying to hear the gain structure of an amp, it’s all but pointless. I need to hear rhythm playing, with chords that let the amp breath. When you listen to EVH’s playing, the best part was his funky rhythm playing, and choice of chords and/or riffs (Unchained, mean-streak, Dirty Movies, etc..). I went on to tell Thomas that I need to hear his products dialed in for those tones. And, demo’s like that are virtually non-existent. He covered a TON of stuff in that video….It was quite long if memory serves. Extremely informative, and fascinating. And, he was able to pull a lot of tones out, but it was what he chose to that left me still wondering. Interestingly, enough, Thomas completely agree’d with me, and said he was going to make it a point to focuse a few minutes on that style of playing. He’s such a class arc. He’s as much of a gentleman as he is a genius. Almost every hot-rodded/boutique amp company in the past 30yrs, has tried to make an amp that captures those tones….yet, you rarely see a video of someone focusing on it. Just like Friedman’s amps…. I think there might be two (that I know of) demo’s of Friedman’s amps of guys that absolutely nailed not just that style of tone, but played riffs that showed it off. The world went and got on a high-gain, chug-fest, along with a focus on shredding, and it’s ruining gear demo’s. They’ e turned into a reason for these guys to put on a clinic, rather than a display of the tones these amps were designed to capture. But, I digress…. Yes, I trust what I’m hearing at this point to give it a shot. So, I’ve got the Amp 1 on order as we speak. Thank you again for your feedback….hearing form the pro’s is what gives me confidence to pick one up. 👍
@@phillamoore157 Thomas is a great dude! You just can feel him burning with passion in everything he does! Great taste of sound, great phrasing, always a smile on his face… By the way: When I think about Eddie, that’s really the first thing, that comes to mind! His positive attitude. He had tons of fun playing, of course that comes accross. Lead or rhythm, he‘s invested himself 100%! Another one that comes to mind is Gary Moore. Pure energy! Talking demos, I only hate, when people show off reverb sounds, without playing anything percussive with space in between the notes, so you can actually hear the reverb. 😅🙈 I mean, come on, right?! I‘m glad you‘re giving the Amp 1 a chance! You won’t be sorry! It sounds every bit as good as my old amps and most of all it feels amazing and dynamic! 🙂🙌🏻
For the price it is okay, it sounded decent though I feel it is sort of "hard" if you know what I mean, like solid state kind of direct type of touch. The old Hughes Kettner Tubeman sounded better, probably the Laney IRT pulse can sounded better with some limitation. But I think the clean can be very usable.
Well, I like the sounds I‘m getting… I can tell you it does sound as good as my vintage amps and it’s no comparison to any direct solution in my opinion. What might sound hard when your listening to the guitar isolated, might be just what the doctor ordered to make it fit in the mix. But my sound might just not meet your taste… 😃🤷🏻♂️
@@manuelbastian Yeah, I get what you mean by no comparison to direct today. The Mesa V Twin is lousy, and this is better than Sansamp. If you can find a Hughes Kettner Tubeman II, give it a try. I find the Laney IRT Pulse sounded good too but only single channel, no eq/tone control.
I'd love to give it a try. Jimmy Herring's been using a Hughes & Kettner Tube Factor for ages and I really dig his tone! And the Tube Rotosphere was one of the best leslie sims out there back then. I think I tried the Tubeman II as well back then, but it was a long time ago. @@wckoek
Where on earth can we actually buy the 1 control. I have tried all the major online outlets and even bluguitar's own website. All of them say currently out of stock and won't be in stock for 8 months, and they have said this for the past 6 months at least. (I'm in UK). Is this thing ever going to be available to us ?
@@manuelbastian Thank you for your reply. Amp 1 really is a great amplifier and the ability to drive the output tube and control the overall volume is essential these days, especially when using it at home. Keep us posted please if you hear any more on availability. 👍
Thank you, brother! 🙏🏻🥰 I use it with a cabinet and a mic, the old fashioned way… 😃 I will be posting a few phone camera videos from our last gig a few weeks ago, first gig with the 1Control, so maybe that will give you an idea how I use it.
Danke für deine Videos…. Eine Frage. Wofür ist dann der Channel Master wenn es auch noch den Gesamt Master Poti gibt? Gibt der Channel Master an sich nicht auch Endstufensättigung? Ich überlege mir auch diesen Amp anzuschaffen und dachte Preamp Gain (klar), Channel Master („Endstufen Glück“ 😅) und Gesamt Master quasi einfach Lautstärke einstellen - also wie ein Powersoak… verwirrt mich etwas
@@christopher.k.guitar Mit dem Channel Master passt Du die Lautstärke vom Zerrkanal an die Lautstärke vom Clean Kanal an. 🙂 Und der Gain, sowie auch der Channel Master und der Master an sich machen alle Sättigung. Probier rum welches Verhältnis Dir am besten gefällt…
@@christopher.k.guitar Da kannst Du ohne Bedenken zuschlagen! Der Amp 1 ist über jeden Zweifel erhaben! Ich bin sehr, sehr dankbar, dass es den gibt! Ich würd den auch in riesengroß und sauschwer spielen, weils einfach unfassbar gut klingt. Aber dass das Teil 1,2kg wiegt… Irre!
Tolles Video ! Ich bin am überleben ob ich mir den Iridium kaufen soll. Ich habe mehrere Geräte und spiele aktuell mit dem Helix in FRFR Lautsprecher über meinen Zoom Mixer. Brauche ich eine Gitarrenbox vor meinen Mixer oder könnte ich vom Amp1 direkt in den Mixer und von da aus zu den FRFR´s ?? Habe in der Anleitung gelesen, dass sollte möglich sein aber ist der Sound dann was ? Brauche ich dann zwingend noch die BlueBox dazu ? Würde mich über eine Antwort freuen ! Sg Patrick
Hallo Patrick! Die Blubox macht IRs, es gibt viele IR Lösungen auf dem Markt, wobei ich finde, dass die Blubox es einem sehr einfach macht einen guten Sound zu finden, der zu dem entsprechenden Amp passt. Der Recording Out im Iridium ist eine analoge Filterschaltung. Das hat jahrzehntelang gut funktioniert, wenn man sich z.B. den Rockman anschaut und Hysteria von Der Leppard anhört. IRs gelten in der Regel als noch eine Nummer realistischer. Wichtig ist was Dir gefällt! Mit dem Iridium hast Du erstmal einen astreinen Amp, mit dem Du für alle Situationen gerüstet bist. Von da aus kannst Du ja schauen, was Du Dir zukünftig noch dazu baust. Vielleicht ne 1x12er Gitarrenbox, vielleicht ne 4x12er, vielleicht ne Blubox, vielleicht was anderes… Ich denke Du wirst auch mit dem Amp direkt ausgepackt richtig gut klingende Ergebnisse erzielen können. 🙂
Bei aller Liebe zum Amp - aber mach mir doch bitte nicht so Bock auf eine Strat. 🥲 Genau so dürfte meine auch klingen.. oder "klingeln" trifft es wohl besser. Mega Sound.
Danke Dir, mein Lieber! 😃🙏🏻 Du brauchst ne Strat! 🙃 Unbedingt! Und das sind billige Fender Pickups, aber ich find die richtig gut… Wobei da mal n Kloppi Set rein muss. Aber erstmal geht die Kohle ins Pedalboard. 🙈
Believe it or not, it‘s a cheap Fender Pure Vintage 65 set. They could sound a little sweeter, but they have the edge of those mid 60s pickups. 🙂 That guitar needs a few upgrades, but I love playing it, even now.
Thomas is too brilliant for his own britches. But, if his bluguitar 1 takes lots of time to figure out how to operate, probably so will his ampx. Some savvy company, given one exists, could create a micro tube superamp in a box that is easy to navigate like the helix. Unfortunately, neither Thomas, line 6, Boss, nor fender understand the scope and appeal of vintage amps and the lure of microtube and other technologies. These execs all need to go online and check out the hundreds of vintage amps that people pay big money for. People want this stuff and would love to have it modernized and put in modeling amps that are easy to control and don't sound like kid's toys or gear for heavy metal artists.. Stuff even SRV would have loved to have had. Nobody wants to spend months or years tweaking out sounds and having to wrestle with an unfriendly control board on top of that. The big companies' execs are unaware of the needs and wants of their target market. Or they are just too lame to make it happen.
I admit, that the Amp 1 had a learning curve for me. When you‘re used to eqs on vintage amps doing nothing, the eqs on the Amp 1 can be a little intimidating. But rather in a way, that you can get good sounds in s few different ways. If you turn the knobs by half a value, it will probably be the whole range of a knob on a vinatge amp. But once you know that, you crank out great sounds like there‘s nothing to it. And I‘m sure it will be the same in the Amp X. I personally can’t wait to try it! 😃
@@manuelbastianI am just saying that the Amp1 can work for a basic setup all the way to a full midi set up. It is very versatile that way. I don’t use the midi for the same reason you mentioned in the video which is ease of programming especially live. I generally find midi on any device to be arduous. This new controller sounds great as a simple way to access these functions like soak. I’ll be getting one. I currently run the Amp1 in 4CM with an HX Effects.and a whole other board of my favorite pedals. Tons of options and sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing your experience with dialing in these extra tones with the new controller. You sound great here and on the interview with Thomas.
@@dr.gregoryweisswassernd7251 I would rather use midi, than not use the extra sounds with the built-in attenuator. 😁 Although live it can be complicated, unless you program an expression pedal with the CC for the powersoak… But we‘re past those days since the 1Control came out! 🥰🙌🏻 Makes it so much easier! And I get what you are saying: The Amp 1 sounds great. Full stop. 😃 And it does. But to get the reaction from the amp in really quiet environments, that‘s another level! 🙌🏻 Thank you for the kind words and thanks for tuning in! Stay tuned for the Blubox video! 😎
Looking forward to these being available in the UK 😊👍

He covered a TON of stuff in that video….It was quite long if memory serves. Extremely informative, and fascinating. And, he was able to pull a lot of tones out, but it was what he chose to that left me still wondering. Interestingly, enough, Thomas completely agree’d with me, and said he was going to make it a point to focuse a few minutes on that style of playing. He’s such a class arc. He’s as much of a gentleman as he is a genius. Almost every hot-rodded/boutique amp company in the past 30yrs, has tried to make an amp that captures those tones….yet, you rarely see a video of someone focusing on it. Just like Friedman’s amps…. I think there might be two (that I know of) demo’s of Friedman’s amps of guys that absolutely nailed not just that style of tone, but played riffs that showed it off. The world went and got on a high-gain, chug-fest, along with a focus on shredding, and it’s ruining gear demo’s. They’ e turned into a reason for these guys to put on a clinic, rather than a display of the tones these amps were designed to capture. But, I digress…. Yes, I trust what I’m hearing at this point to give it a shot. So, I’ve got the Amp 1 on order as we speak. Thank you again for your feedback….hearing form the pro’s is what gives me confidence to pick one up. 👍
@@phillamoore157 Thomas is a great dude! You just can feel him burning with passion in everything he does! Great taste of sound, great phrasing, always a smile on his face… By the way: When I think about Eddie, that’s really the first thing, that comes to mind! His positive attitude. He had tons of fun playing, of course that comes accross. Lead or rhythm, he‘s invested himself 100%! Another one that comes to mind is Gary Moore. Pure energy!
Talking demos, I only hate, when people show off reverb sounds, without playing anything percussive with space in between the notes, so you can actually hear the reverb. 😅🙈 I mean, come on, right?!
I‘m glad you‘re giving the Amp 1 a chance! You won’t be sorry! It sounds every bit as good as my old amps and most of all it feels amazing and dynamic! 🙂🙌🏻
super sounds! what about on the tonecontrols on the amp 1? greetings thomas
Thank you, Thomas! 🙂🙏🏻 What do you mean? You can kind of see the EQ. Do you mean the custom controls?
yep the custom controls 🙂
@@findandexpressyourself3229 Clean Tone cranked, Classic Tone 11 o‘clock, Modern Tone 1 o‘clock. 🙂
Boost is usually cranked.
For the price it is okay, it sounded decent though I feel it is sort of "hard" if you know what I mean, like solid state kind of direct type of touch.
The old Hughes Kettner Tubeman sounded better, probably the Laney IRT pulse can sounded better with some limitation.
But I think the clean can be very usable.
Well, I like the sounds I‘m getting… I can tell you it does sound as good as my vintage amps and it’s no comparison to any direct solution in my opinion. What might sound hard when your listening to the guitar isolated, might be just what the doctor ordered to make it fit in the mix. But my sound might just not meet your taste… 😃🤷🏻♂️
@@manuelbastian Yeah, I get what you mean by no comparison to direct today.
The Mesa V Twin is lousy, and this is better than Sansamp.
If you can find a Hughes Kettner Tubeman II, give it a try. I find the Laney IRT Pulse sounded good too but only single channel, no eq/tone control.
I'd love to give it a try. Jimmy Herring's been using a Hughes & Kettner Tube Factor for ages and I really dig his tone! And the Tube Rotosphere was one of the best leslie sims out there back then. I think I tried the Tubeman II as well back then, but it was a long time ago. @@wckoek
@wckoek If you heard it in person in your hands you'd have a better opinion
@@internetmoney221 I'm looking to try Two Notes revolt this or next week.
Unfortunately I don't have Amp 1 I can compare directly to.
Where on earth can we actually buy the 1 control. I have tried all the major online outlets and even bluguitar's own website. All of them say currently out of stock and won't be in stock for 8 months, and they have said this for the past 6 months at least. (I'm in UK). Is this thing ever going to be available to us ?
@@JonGUK It will be! From what I hear it won’t be long! 🤞🏻
@@manuelbastian Thank you for your reply. Amp 1 really is a great amplifier and the ability to drive the output tube and control the overall volume is essential these days, especially when using it at home. Keep us posted please if you hear any more on availability. 👍
@@JonGUK you can already use all the good stuff via midi, you know that, right? 🙂
@@manuelbastian I did see something about that but couldn't find any real detail about how to actually do it.
@@JonGUK You need the Midi 1 adapter and then you can access all parameters via midi control changes. Powersoak, 2nd Gain and Master, everything…
This 1Control makes the same thing that the Remote 1 do, i mean the power soak?
Yup, exactly the same. It‘s just a control.
Great tones man! How do you use this in live situations? I prefer this than amp modelers direct to PA.
Thank you, brother! 🙏🏻🥰 I use it with a cabinet and a mic, the old fashioned way… 😃 I will be posting a few phone camera videos from our last gig a few weeks ago, first gig with the 1Control, so maybe that will give you an idea how I use it.
@@manuelbastian Tks a lot brother! I’m prefer the old way too… but the weight of my tube amp was killing me 🤣
@@DaviUba That’s why the Amp 1 is a blessing for us lazy fucks… 😜
Danke für deine Videos…. Eine Frage. Wofür ist dann der Channel Master wenn es auch noch den Gesamt Master Poti gibt? Gibt der Channel Master an sich nicht auch Endstufensättigung? Ich überlege mir auch diesen Amp anzuschaffen und dachte Preamp Gain (klar), Channel Master („Endstufen Glück“ 😅) und Gesamt Master quasi einfach Lautstärke einstellen - also wie ein Powersoak… verwirrt mich etwas
@@christopher.k.guitar Mit dem Channel Master passt Du die Lautstärke vom Zerrkanal an die Lautstärke vom Clean Kanal an. 🙂 Und der Gain, sowie auch der Channel Master und der Master an sich machen alle Sättigung. Probier rum welches Verhältnis Dir am besten gefällt…
@@manuelbastian vielen Dank für die Info - bin sehr in Versuchung
@@christopher.k.guitar Da kannst Du ohne Bedenken zuschlagen! Der Amp 1 ist über jeden Zweifel erhaben! Ich bin sehr, sehr dankbar, dass es den gibt! Ich würd den auch in riesengroß und sauschwer spielen, weils einfach unfassbar gut klingt. Aber dass das Teil 1,2kg wiegt… Irre!
@@manuelbastian Hast du auch den Iridium?
@@christopher.k.guitar Noch nicht… 😅
Tolles Video !
Ich bin am überleben ob ich mir den Iridium kaufen soll. Ich habe mehrere Geräte und spiele aktuell mit dem Helix in FRFR Lautsprecher über meinen Zoom Mixer. Brauche ich eine Gitarrenbox vor meinen Mixer oder könnte ich vom Amp1 direkt in den Mixer und von da aus zu den FRFR´s ?? Habe in der Anleitung gelesen, dass sollte möglich sein aber ist der Sound dann was ? Brauche ich dann zwingend noch die BlueBox dazu ? Würde mich über eine Antwort freuen ! Sg Patrick
Hallo Patrick! Die Blubox macht IRs, es gibt viele IR Lösungen auf dem Markt, wobei ich finde, dass die Blubox es einem sehr einfach macht einen guten Sound zu finden, der zu dem entsprechenden Amp passt. Der Recording Out im Iridium ist eine analoge Filterschaltung. Das hat jahrzehntelang gut funktioniert, wenn man sich z.B. den Rockman anschaut und Hysteria von Der Leppard anhört. IRs gelten in der Regel als noch eine Nummer realistischer. Wichtig ist was Dir gefällt! Mit dem Iridium hast Du erstmal einen astreinen Amp, mit dem Du für alle Situationen gerüstet bist. Von da aus kannst Du ja schauen, was Du Dir zukünftig noch dazu baust. Vielleicht ne 1x12er Gitarrenbox, vielleicht ne 4x12er, vielleicht ne Blubox, vielleicht was anderes… Ich denke Du wirst auch mit dem Amp direkt ausgepackt richtig gut klingende Ergebnisse erzielen können. 🙂
Danke !!
@@patrickmatt7505 Gerne! 🙂
Bei aller Liebe zum Amp - aber mach mir doch bitte nicht so Bock auf eine Strat. 🥲 Genau so dürfte meine auch klingen.. oder "klingeln" trifft es wohl besser. Mega Sound.
Danke Dir, mein Lieber! 😃🙏🏻 Du brauchst ne Strat! 🙃 Unbedingt! Und das sind billige Fender Pickups, aber ich find die richtig gut… Wobei da mal n Kloppi Set rein muss. Aber erstmal geht die Kohle ins Pedalboard. 🙈
Hast du die Gitarre in dem Video mit der Grossmann-Box aufgenommen?
Ja. In der Videobeschreibung steht, was ich alles benutzt hab. 🙂
What pickups you have on that Strat?
Just curious😎
Believe it or not, it‘s a cheap Fender Pure Vintage 65 set. They could sound a little sweeter, but they have the edge of those mid 60s pickups. 🙂 That guitar needs a few upgrades, but I love playing it, even now.
Thomas is too brilliant for his own britches. But, if his bluguitar 1 takes lots of time to figure out how to operate, probably so will his ampx. Some savvy company, given one exists, could create a micro tube superamp in a box that is easy to navigate like the helix. Unfortunately, neither Thomas, line 6, Boss, nor fender understand the scope and appeal of vintage amps and the lure of microtube and other technologies. These execs all need to go online and check out the hundreds of vintage amps that people pay big money for. People want this stuff and would love to have it modernized and put in modeling amps that are easy to control and don't sound like kid's toys or gear for heavy metal artists.. Stuff even SRV would have loved to have had. Nobody wants to spend months or years tweaking out sounds and having to wrestle with an unfriendly control board on top of that. The big companies' execs are unaware of the needs and wants of their target market. Or they are just too lame to make it happen.
I admit, that the Amp 1 had a learning curve for me. When you‘re used to eqs on vintage amps doing nothing, the eqs on the Amp 1 can be a little intimidating. But rather in a way, that you can get good sounds in s few different ways. If you turn the knobs by half a value, it will probably be the whole range of a knob on a vinatge amp. But once you know that, you crank out great sounds like there‘s nothing to it. And I‘m sure it will be the same in the Amp X. I personally can’t wait to try it! 😃
I gig the Amp 1 ME with #majikband and it is really easy to dial in. You don’t need midi.
@@dr.gregoryweisswassernd7251 You might not need midi. 🙂 Others do need it.
@@manuelbastianI am just saying that the Amp1 can work for a basic setup all the way to a full midi set up. It is very versatile that way. I don’t use the midi for the same reason you mentioned in the video which is ease of programming especially live. I generally find midi on any device to be arduous. This new controller sounds great as a simple way to access these functions like soak. I’ll be getting one. I currently run the Amp1 in 4CM with an HX Effects.and a whole other board of my favorite pedals. Tons of options and sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing your experience with dialing in these extra tones with the new controller. You sound great here and on the interview with Thomas.
@@dr.gregoryweisswassernd7251 I would rather use midi, than not use the extra sounds with the built-in attenuator. 😁 Although live it can be complicated, unless you program an expression pedal with the CC for the powersoak… But we‘re past those days since the 1Control came out! 🥰🙌🏻 Makes it so much easier! And I get what you are saying: The Amp 1 sounds great. Full stop. 😃 And it does. But to get the reaction from the amp in really quiet environments, that‘s another level! 🙌🏻
Thank you for the kind words and thanks for tuning in! Stay tuned for the Blubox video! 😎
