I'm in a real dilemma now. I am 100% keeping the Amplifire 12! I am scared by some of the things in the 12, the chorus block for example has things like wow and flutter which i remember from cassette player specs, I can't remember where but somewhere in the software it's got something called "buckets" and the selections are just numbers. I've seen things like "diffusion" "duty", "wave".
I'm worried that if I keep the GT100 then I won't bother trying to learn the 12 and just use its amp tones but I'm also worried that if i get rid of the GT100 I'll be wishing I hadn't when I'm struggling to get what I want. I then start thinking "How often do you need more than just good solid guitar tones? I have a midi keyboard controller I can use with synth software when I want weird tones for creativity effects. Bottom line is, the 12 is incredible but in my naivety I missed the fact that Boss have a wealth of pedals to draw from and didn't expect the 12 to be so deep in the settings. I guess it's more what your find in a studio. Check this out to see what I mean. http://atomicamps.com/forum/index.php?thre...ts-presets.197/ While writing this I'm suddenly thinking "Just get rid of the Boss, no don't It's got whammy and intelligent harmonizer, but how often do you use them? but I might want them next month, but if i haven't got them i just have to deal with it, yeah but but but......" :lol: Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

Yeah I though the tech would have changed but I was intrigued by the word "bucket"

You can get nearly any effect from plugins, including harmonizer.
 The rack page of amplitude for example. Most of the guitar plugins offer a huge variety of stomps/rack gear that you can use. But it does require your computer be involved. The 12 is a very flexible unit. You can always keep the GT in a closet somewhere, out of sight and have it in case you need it It's not a pricey unit, so selling it won't get you that far financially. Just pop it out of your guitar chain to push yourself a bit closer to learning the 12. The software interface is probably your best bet imho as it is just easier to see everything. But again, involves a computer. Bottom line, get used to having your computer be near/part of your rig. If you have a laptop you can dedicate, that would be handy QUOTE (Phil66 @ Mar 12 2017, 05:41 AM)  I'm in a real dilemma now. I am 100% keeping the Amplifire 12!

Thanks Todd,
I alway use my computer, I hate editing on hardware  My computer is always on because I record a lot of stuff so I can playback and analyze it, you hear a lot more when you aren't actually playing as you know  For reference here is my PC spec, I've been thinking of changing the CPU but don't really know if it's worth it for what I do. Cheers buddy.

Thanks Todd,
I think I might upgrade the RAM, everything else is working fine, I don't use plugins at the moment I'm all hardware (Atomic Amplifire 12 and Boss GT100). Because of this I don't get latency because I direct monitor. I don't have very many programs on the SSD and everything is stored on the Seagate drive. It isn't anywhere near full yet.

That should do it
You should have more headroom on your system to allow you to run things and leave some stuff running in the background if you like without any issues. I remember going from 8 to 16 gb on one machine and liking it so much that I did it to all three of my machines.[Thatquote name='Phil66' date='Mar 21 2017, 03:57 PM' post='745743'] Update: Ordered this https://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Other+...productId=52474 [/quote] |
