Hey all, recently bought the Aiken gold brick, this essentially replaces a mic, similar to the h&k redbox. Except it doesn't sound like ass, 9volt or power supply. Basically simulates a 4-12, reactive load. You do have to have a cab plugged in.
I bought one because live, micing a cab is a hassle with bleed and rumble and feedback. With everyone going direct it cleans up our foh mix and monitors.
I was pleasantly surprised at how killer this thing sounds and feels and have not used a mic with my non axefx rigs since buying this. $129 btw. I have had great results with my Carol ann, engl and friedman amp stash. Plus randall Aiken is just a great dude. I find it sounds really warm, and punchy, no scratchy high end either. Jim
