Now I'm sold.Atomic Amps, who impressed us with their Ampli-Fire amp modeler, brought their newest most compact modeler yet, the Ampli-Firebox. Though it doesn't have all the customizable functionality of its bigger brother, it has the same number of basic voices and advanced tailoring capabilities like impulse shaping which can be adjusted via a simplified version of the Ampli-Fire iOS interface. Compact and just $299, it's a sweet solution for modeling newbies or those who don't want to dive into deep editing.

Re: The Amplifire Thread
the pedal can connect to a Mac or PC via USB to customize amp slot selections from Studio Devil's entire patented AmpliFIRE series library of models, upload third-party cabinet simulations (1024-point impulse responses) and access more advanced tone-shaping tools.

Re: The Amplifire Thread
I want an Amplifire. Using an Audiobox and Guitar Rig right now. Kind of ick. Amiplifire seems like it sounds and feels right, is simple, and does not break the bank.

Re: The Amplifire Thread
Just be aware that the effects currently are stupidly deep to program, hopefully we get a simple mode in firmware v5!Aquila Rossa wrote:I want an Amplifire.

So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Re: The Amplifire Thread
Not too far away from being able to afford one. I see they do not ship to NZ any more though. Have to go thru the Aussie based middle man. Will run it as an interface and out thru presonus monitors.Bg wrote:Just be aware that the effects currently are stupidly deep to program, hopefully we get a simple mode in firmware v5!Aquila Rossa wrote:I want an Amplifire.

Re: The Amplifire Thread
yep, got mine from the aus distributor, he does the axe fx stuff too so is quite reliable.
its not an interface though, you need to take the stereo outs to an interface, amp etc.

Re: The Amplifire Thread
That's a bummer. I thought the USB meant it was an interface. I know now I guess. That is the next upgrade they should do. Even Peavey amps are interfaces these days, so it is not a big deal. I quite like the look of the Laney IRT Studio, but it would not have the range of tones the Amplifire does. My interface is meh. Audiobox. Gave my Avid interface to that crazy person.Bg wrote:yep, got mine from the aus distributor, he does the axe fx stuff too so is quite reliable.

Re: The Amplifire Thread
It is an awesome system but think pod2 in terms of patch cables to an interface. I love mine, but there are shortcomings. I much prefer it to the line6 hd and hdx stuff I've owned, but line6 have had years to perfect their customer support, or lack of it

Re: The Amplifire Thread
A Marshall Code 25 is less the 400 bucks and works as a USB inteface. Emulations by Softube. Might make an okay stop gap. Pity Amplifire don't do that, even though the sounds are probably much better. Modelling has come a long way. Harmonic overtones caused by feedback due to the volume of the amp are still lacking if monitoring at low volume at least, but dynamics are getting much better

Re: The Amplifire Thread
Strongly recommend playing before purchasing any of the code series. My impression was that the code 50 might be ok with a decent speaker but I'm not willing to spend the money to find out. I shudder to think what the code 25 will sound like if you turn it up enough to be louder than the strings.

Re: The Amplifire Thread
Someone has FINALLY done it. Just amps, in a pedal. Just saw this a few minutes ago on Andertons blog. Need to find out more! If it's as powerful and sounds as good as the red box, I'm going there...
I might have my new as only used at home Amplifire for sale soon.

Larrivee 00 Acoustic. FAV Strat for electric. Ibanez SDGR5 for bass. Push for Ableton. When not doing that, 3D CAD for tunnels...
