NPD Soran dual stomp modeler

[Mike Oxhuge]

Soran dual stomp modeler came this evening. Notice the preset name I found. Proof @VonBonfire isn't just a modeler user but a developer! Usual mostly dogshit presets tuned by hamfisted retards but once you dial in the amp, cab, mic position it sounds pretty fucking good. Only had an hour so I dialed in the existing presets and got good convincing tones out of the 5150, jumpered Plexi, JCM800, and Mesa Mark IV models. And the clean tones are good as well. Effects are useable and pretty standard. Noise gate is okay unless you start rolling off volume on the guitar then it gets a little window lickery. But for the the $77 it cost it is a no brainer and I just scratched the surface of its capabilities. Has NAM loading capabilities. Feel was decent as well. Probably not going to make anyone sell a Kemper or Axefx, but it's way better than the modeling in my Boss GT1000, or the old DigiTech GSP1101 I had years ago. Super small footprint takes maybe 2 1/2 pedal spaces. Great for a backup rig. 10/10 for the price and super easy to edit on the fly. Also has a global eq.

Sweet! Should I grab that one or the lite without the pedal?

Yeah is the expression pedal necessary or not really?

I forgot to try the wah. I used the volume a bit but not much. I like having more options than less, but will let you know if the expression is gtg or not tomorrow when I get more time with it. Also should check what else it can be assigned to. It is close to same size as a crybaby mini. I was running it through 2 Alto TS312 powered cabs which are decent for a budget set up.
