What is your favourite amps or effects? Do you use amp modellers?

I got it and wow, that articulation this thing gives to your playing is great.

I will do a review in a few weeks when I get to know the amp a bit better.

Its loud, though my cab its just mind blowing, (and window shattering).

I am in major trouble with the wife, as a valve amp is not complete without pedals.

I got Vox wah v847.

MXR micro amp.

Carl Martin, Red Repeat. Which is epic.

Boss Chorus, cr1.

Only trouble I have 2 Exams next week, so not much time to play.

What is this?

Glad to hear you are enjoying your Blackstar. Do you usually have it playing quite loud and if so, how do you find the performance when having to work at lower volumes?

It does sound better at loud volumes. However, I can get some very usable tones at lower volume, that I am enjoying at the minute. The emulated out is extreamly usfull for recording and playing through headphones.

The red repeat is Delay pedal and is beyond epic.

Thanks James

The last time I used an emulated amp was on an old valvestate amp I had and it sounded terrible - I have never tried using one again and since relied on micing up the amp or using an amp plugin. I am pretty sure that I have one on my Blackstar so may give it a go.

I use a Boss delay pedal, which just adds a bit of depth to my solos really - what do you use your delay for and what makes this one any more epic than the next delay pedal? ( I have never really experimented with many delay pedals!)

I don't know, I think it sound more analogue, then a dd7. It seems to self oscillate with a more realistic vintage sound.
