Re: The Amplifire Thread
The firebox? Keen to hear how that goes for you. Looks cool how you can upload your own IRS's to it.

Re: The Amplifire Thread
Yeah, let us know what you think of it, Kent. Might get one for a mini board for the bach.

Re: The Amplifire Thread
Ah, I prepaid my GST over the phone on Thursday night but still they couldn't clearly get it sent out today, as per UPS's website expectation. Ah well. Tomorrow! Yes, pretty keen to hear it (although, technically, I know it sounds good as it's theoretically identical to the 'red' Amplifire but it has been 6 months...) and really like the idea of a footswitchable toggle between a bassman/deluxe and an AC30, or similar.

Re: The Amplifire Thread
I can confirm it still requires it’s own PS and won’t power off a 500 mA Ojai (boo!) but sounds great! Cool to have reverb (and everything else) on a knob and amp-like. Haven’t tried it with pedals yet but deluxe, top boost, baseman and rumble all in fine form.

Re: The Amplifire Thread
Any idea what bitrate IR's this thing can take? 48 or 96kHz? Took a look at the manual couldn't spy it.KentNZ wrote:I can confirm it still requires it’s own PS and won’t power off a 500 mA Ojai (boo!) but sounds great!

Re: The Amplifire Thread
No idea, sorry. Though I have heard that loading new IRs can make a good difference.chur wrote:Any idea what bitrate IR's this thing can take? 48 or 96kHz?

Re: The Amplifire Thread
Yer and for the price it looked like a good option vs the Torpedo CAB, with the bonus of all the other effects/amps etc.KentNZ wrote:No idea, sorry.

Re: The Amplifire Thread
Where are you shopping for IRs? Might have a look at some in the new year when I have some time!

Re: The Amplifire Thread
I'd like to try the Rosen Digital ones, but their website doesn't have much detail, and while they mention 96kHz, I need 48kHz for my AMT loader. I asked if they supported multiple formats, nil reply.

Re: The Amplifire Thread
Just got some 3sigma ones tonight. Very good, and cheaper than Celestion.griff7628 wrote:I really like the 3Sigma offerings.
