I am digging the 80% gain tones at 2:25. But at 18k needed in 7 days, it looks like the funding may fall short. I wonder if there is some kind of backup plan if the kickstarter doesn't make it?
Wish I knew. I'm anxious--this amp would likely make me get rid of my Egnater Rebel 20 (a very nice, low cost 20W head), and my Palmer Dacappo.
I'm just amazed at all of the capabilities, and the videos have been top notch at demonstrating them. So many tools that I'd actually use, and everything so far has sounded amazing!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it can do all of the below.
1. Tube DI and Reamp box for bass, guitar, or any other instrument outputs. I'd use this so much it's sickening. Come up with an idea at home, or even silently record my take with drums, then reamp it through one of my bigger amps to get the final sound with the initial, more charged performance. Or even use the 1W amp while doing this so that I can stand by the amp and still get some guitar feedback so that it doesn't sound obvious and clinical.
2. 1W practice amp for playing quietly (or not so quietly!) at home, or recording with gobos/baffles .
3. Tube pre that I can use into another amp's loop return or my 2/90/2. I'd even consider reamping into this rig!
4. Bass pre for getting nice, warm, tubey and/or overdriven bass sounds recorded or live.
5. tube mic pre for niche situations by using the XLR aux in. Could be useful for vocals or even warming up a snare/kick. I'm not expecting Neve type sounds out of it, but you never know what you can achieve.
6. Tube buffer like the Valvulator I for pedal runs and overall increased dynamic control
7. Headphone amp for when everyone else is asleep.
8. 1st stage tandem piece with modelers to get a more "tubey" response.
I could see myself using it for all of the above except maybe #8, though even that's possible with my GSP1101.
I would be extremely disappointed if this project didn't happen.
Got in at #7, need to make this happen!
