Iāve never used one, I seem to remember some youtube reviewer absolutely slated it to the point where mesa made him do it again, and the reviewer gave it restrained, faint praise the second time but it sounded the same,
Iād sure love to give one of these a try. I for one could put one to use right away. Iāll have to try to find that review. Did he not find the emulations to be realistic? Thatād certainly be a concern
There is one piece in my hometown music shopā¦Iāll see if theyāre ok to let me test it. And Iāll let you know.
The price is around 400 Swiss Francsā¦so it aināt cheap if it does nothing good

@ColdRoomStudio Well, the review donāt let room for dreams.
Anyway, if I can test one for free, Iāll try and records some clips for people to compare.
I recently bought a Koch twintone amp that has a direct output built in. Iāll have this as another comparison. (by the way this koch amp sounds awesome to my ears)
Cheers!

Iāve heard good things about them!
But in the genre of amp-names-that-sound-like-willies, no one can trump the āWangsā amp I had.

Hi there,
@ColdRoomStudio, @holster, @Cirrus, @Greg_Lā¦ So I tested the cab cloneā¦I didnāt spend much time on it but here are some clip Iāve made.
So you juge!
Iāve recorded the same riff with distortion and with a clean sound. I used the Mesa CabClone, my Koch amp direct out, SM57, RODE NT2.
The Amp is a Koch twintone with a Marshall 1960 Vintage cab.
Can you guess which is which?
Clip 1:
Clip 2:
Clip 3:
Clip 4:
Clip 5:
Clip 6:
Clip 7:
Clip 8:
PS: I didnāt spend much time on mic placementā¦so this could be a clueā¦

@ColdRoomStudio normally the files are named clip 1 to 8ā¦but I donāt know why the names arenāt shownā¦anything special to do when you import a audio clip?
Ok, I edit my post and wrote down the clipsā numbers. Hope it helps
Just to make it clear, there are 4 different sound captured:
Real Sm57
Real Rode NT2
Koch amp direct out (speaker emulated)
Cab clone (closed back emulation)
One time for distorted sound and one time for cleanā¦so 8 clips
I bought one the day they came out and found it a good way to run my Dual Rec in our electronic (headphone) mix rehearsals but could never get a great sound of out if. Tended to find it made my signal sound too hot and couldnāt get my sound right. I probably should have spent a bit more time looking into what I may have been doing wrong but ended up flipping it in the end. However I recently upgraded my amp to the Mesa JP-2C which have the cab clone built in and I have to say from my limited use of it so far, the sound is awesome. Iāve heard mixed reviews using the headphones out, I use the XLR balanced out to an interface/desk and find this to be where its at.

Clip2: Mesa CabClone
Clip3: SM57
Clip4: Rode Nt2
Clip5: SM57
Clip6: Rode NT2
