impossible? NO: this little box channels great old amps

Driftwood 28.08.2022

I joined my first (garage / basement) rock band in 1965, when cars in America didn't have seatbelts, amps weren't well grounded, and singing guitarists like me were accustomed to electric shocks. My first amp was a 1964 Deluxe Reverb. Flash forward a few decades, and I was playing through a Marshall "Bluesbreaker" reissue. Flash forward to the 2020s, and I've started playing pubs in an era where the "drummer" is often just sitting and beating on a box and everything runs through the P.A. system. Initially I thought it would be impossible for me to adjust. But with ACS1 (plus Canvas, Fender Tre-Verb, Carbon Copy, and Greer Lightspeed) I can feed the P.A. system with rhythm, lead, and steel guitar sounds that express my thoughts and desires -- without a real amp. Walrus chose two of my favorite "own" amps to simulate and threw in a Vox for good measure. I'd still rather play through amps, but this is (to an old-timer at least) a mind-bending option to have.

Shockingly good!

lucapette 08.01.2022

I got the acs1 because of how unsatisfied I was with the dirty tones of the simplifier dlx.

As soon as I tried it, I fell in love. The clean tones are incredible. I spent hours just playing with me headphones before even trying the acs1 with my pedalboard.

When I tried it with pedals, it kept giving. It pairs really well with klon style pedals and makes the nordland odr-1 really shine (the simplifier did very poorly here).

The user interface is also very good, to the point I did not need to ever look up the manual after a quick skim when I first tried it.

Highly recommended.

great option for silent practice and more

marlasky 30.05.2021

My first setup for silent home practice, was connecting my pedalboard to a small mixer with instrument level inputs. It was clear something was missing in the sound, so I started looking for a pedal doing amp and cab sim. In the end, the choice was between this pedal and a strymon iridium. To my ears the strymon pedals always seem to sound somewhat too clean, and so I chose this pedal. Apart from the slightly better sound, the ease of selecting amp and cab in the pedal without having option-overload (the built-in IRs are great) was the second feature to convince me. The room knob makes the sound great.
My setup normally consists of a fender deluxe reverb, and a single coil rickenbacker 660/6, and while the sound using the pedal may not be 100% exactly the same, it is way good enough for me to get that amp+cab feeling when playing through headphones.

Killer Vintage Tones!

SniperVinc 27.04.2023

This amp modeller and cab simulator is an awesome sounding gadget. I use it home for silent night practicing caus it has got a headphone output built in. My second use is with a band when practicing to headphones thru a mixer with e-drums. And now I am thinking, I will take this stompbox with me live, cause it sounds crazy awesome thru my personal monitor. I love the full stereo feature. Awesome with stereo reverbs and delays. I love it's simplicity. Just knobs no menu diving. And finally I love how that pedal looks. Its golden damned. Big hype! For sure this is for guitarists who loves vintage amp sounds. My favourite setting is "London" the 1962 Marshall Bluesbreaker played on my Fender Strat. Sounds killer!
