Re: Amps with Digital Reverb = Digital signal path?
Good God I think your true bypass boner is showing. If it sounds good, it is good. If the sound sucks it does suck.
There are many tomes of amp knowledge available for your consumption. Read and learn and make further decisions but in the end, trust your ears.
True bypass and analog definitely turns me on haha.
I'm sure learning about amps is beneficial for any guitarist but unfortunately I'm busy at the moment. Figured I can just ask the sages of SD forum to guide me haha. I think that's the point of forums: that and community.
Furthermore, even when I was starting off, I noticed something weird when playing w/ too many pedals. The harmonics in the highs and the resonance in general was being affected. So it's not just digital and non true bypass that bothers me, even things like having too many pedals regardless of the type, cable's length, etc, concerned me.
I'm very particular and peculiar about things haha. Then again, I rather be a perfectionist than an amateur. Now... if only I could perfect my playing technique! Haha
It depends on the amp. I don't know about the AC10, but I don't care about the reverb on that amp. All I can tell you is that the amp does not sound like an AC15 nor an AC30 - I thought it sounded thin and buzzy. I haven't even looked at the schematic, so I don't know if anything is drastically different. But I'd pass.
Ahh, that's too bad. I have the AC4 right now and I can make it work for me but theres this weird fizz on the attack and decay thats extremely bothersome. Vox's 16ohm speaker rating also makes speaker swaps difficult...
Nevertheless, I'll have to try the Vox AC10 out sometime and see if its good enough for shabby ol me. I actually wouldn't use the reverb on the amp, ironically. I just want good tone. Hoping the circuit and its bigger cab is a decent upgrade from the AC4. I'm moving out the country so I'm planning on what to buy after I move haha.
