Re: Pedals like the Bogner Uberschall and Ecstasy...
Anyone tried the Line 6 AM-4 amp modeler pedal? Supposedly it's the same circuitry from their all-in-one series (PODs, etc) just without all the other stuff.
I've been using one for a couple of years or more, though I haven't directly compared it to my JCM800 or TripleRec. Running it direct into my mixer/interface, it's definitely got more going for it than say a typical stomp box. I did try it into the front of my Fender head when I first got it, but I'm thinking it's designed more for power amp use (which would make sense).
From what little I've seen online, it was fairly well-received, though you obviously find fanboy replies as well as the haters.
