I watched The Chameleons Vox play live and they used Roland amps. Very distinct and unique sound, loved it.
Ha, exactly. Although I feel like I've picked up some other guy's guitar and getting inspired. Found a terrible LA thrash punk preset on a Marshall sim and immediately spent 40 minutes bashing out some 190 bpm Germs riff.
I think you're right about it being undistinguished. The guitarists in my 90s band coveted them, but they were too expensive. Yet in the studio, we never used them. And that Cali Reverb Crystal Clean does sound very good. It's kind of amazing that the tone breaks up a bit with forceful playing.
The reason people coveted them is that they are for their weight really really loud. And clean enough at loud volumes to use for keys. And you can play crystal clear funk rhythm loud. A JC-120 is pretty much hard to play at low volume ... mine was banished to the garage when my son was 2 because a tiny touch of the knob would make it too loud for comfort.
It is a great bed for effects on stage because of its clarity but that clarity isn't hard to achieve in the studio. Other musicians that I knew might use them onstage and use another amp for recording or go direct.
It's not even a matter of bugs with this app. It's poorly designed. Very user unfriendly. Compare its function to any number of competitors in this space. That's what they should've done. Apps are not released in a vacuum these days. They have competitors and they should be evaluating what they can do better than their competitors.
I agree that it is not very well designed. It needs work, but it's not going to fix itself.
I sent my bug reports and suggestions for improvement (posted earlier) to Nembrini. I hope others do the same!
FWIW they were unable to replicate my inability to reload saved presets. So it is unusable for me in the current state.
I did not mean to imply that offering a developer bug reports to improve their app was a bad thing. Feedback is great. It's just that the developer appears they did not evaluate their offering in comparison to other apps in the same category. If they did, I am shocked that they did not choose to improve their own product's function first.
With MixBox, can you use just a single effect on a AUM node? And if you could, is that a reasonable use of it, or kinda' awkward for what it's intended to be?
Frankly, I'm not going to hold my breath on Eventide making an iH9 app. So I either will eventually get all Nembrini effects, or maybe the THD FX and use them as AUM single-effect nodes, or maybe check out MixBox.
Thanks,
Joe
Sidenote: Have to quibble on the JC-120 amp comment. I had one for a while, and that baby at a moderately loud volume with the chorus on is an otherworldly wonderful experience and unique in the guitar amp world. Took to non-dirt pedals well.
But I was not happy with it with any kind of OD/distortion pedals. And I also tried a lot of weird things to "warm" up the sound and make it more tube-like. Never worked, never meant to be that.
