Modeling amp? Pedal? Who knows, let's leave it at something.
Fast forward from the earlier thread -> I went to the shop like I threatened to, and left it with the Fly Rig. The shop was near my work and I went on the first day so I had to work for a week before I got home to really plug it in and try it out.
The conditions were far from ideal in the shop, but I quickly got a good idea of the capabilities of the unit. Maybe it's that the worst brings the best out of us, eh? Today I finally plugged it into my Scarlett interface which is connected to my new active monitors (maybe a thread on them in another room).
It's an excellent unit. It's solid and sturdy. The pots are a bit too small for my fingers, but maybe they're that for my foot as well. It's really simple to use. The controls are also very effective in shaping the tone even with small changes.
The SansAmp does very nice clean tones. With more midrange and drive dialed in it does dirty fender pretty well. The reverb is usable most of the range, which is very nice compared to many units.
The Plexi is, what it claims to be. It doesn't try to be a Marshall from the 80s or later. It does a good, british, raspy crunch. By no means modern high gain or such. The Plexi doesn't have any other tone controls than tone, so for some people switching from totally different clean and dirty tones may be a problem.
The Hot boost works for universally for the unit. It doesn't turn the Plexi into a JCM800. It does add gain, but it does nothing to change the basic tone. I often have enough already with the Plexi on, so I leave it off. It is sometimes useful for extra dirt without the Plexi.
The DLA is similar to the reverb, as in it is useful no matter where you turn the dials at. It doesn't get too crazy. I like it, but many may not. It is convenient, easy to adjust and most importantly sounds good.
If one is left wanting with the gain level and/or style of it, it is possible to have a separate dirt pedal in front of it. I did it in the shop with a T-Rex Mudhoney like my own. It works like it's supposed to. If a Plexi isn't enough, goose it up with a good pedal and your right up in the 80s. I haven't plugged my Damage Control Demonizer in yet, but I have no doubt of the capabilities of the pair to bring in whatever I want.
All in all I feel like I can easily find most tones I look for. Many classic ones also pop up. I'm very satisfied so far. If you're the least bit interested, do yourself a favour and check it out.
