Man, I have tried all the pedals from AMT( yeah, visited their factory, the CEO, Don, is a great guy, showed me around). And the California Sound is the Best.
With my Rocktron Silver Dragon and Korg AX1500G, I will show you stuffs that your sad AMTs cant do :beer:
Your AMT Pedal is already modelled after some amp : : ........So ........you aren't in the real world too......California Sound is modelled after a Mesa Boogie..........:beer: :beer:
@RonnieAnnand: Still a tube pedal has more originality that a multifx set. U can get your unique sound using one, while, in a multifx pedal its all the same.
The real tube sound comes from power amp stage. Power amp stages operate at very high voltage. How many tube pedals exist in the market that operate at that high voltages?
All AMT pedals do sound the same....Roughly the same.........Where is your unique sound coming from now.......A multifx can get as original as a distortion pedal. Both these units are anyway wannabes......and the original are still those covetted amps..... Dont you think California Sound and Fatal Tube are pretty close sounding.....Dont bother about their funda of Mesa Boogie Wannabe and a Bogner Wannabe......But they do sound pretty close........Where is the originality even in these pedals.....
Adding to my previous point.........Boss Distortions are more original......The DS1 or OD1 or BD2 doesn't try to emulate anything......It's just a Distortion / Overdrive pedal. AMT Fatal Tube is Bogner Wannabe, Calfornia Sound is a Mesa Boogie Wannabe, British Sound is Marshall Wannabe, Tweed is a Fender Wannabe, etc.......Talking about originality, Boss should have been your choice.....
Oh, I have my tube amp that is original to the core in the shape of a Peavey. But, for a entire set up, the individual pedals give a more broad scope to tinker than anything else.
Awesome...but it has no relation to the debate....You said processors are not the real world but those Analog pedals are. My arguement is both are real world or both are not real world. You owning a tube amp doesn't say anything, except that you are trying to prove that since you own a real tube amp, you know it all....
