modelers

A Telefunken ELA M 251E large-diaphragm condenser mic, seen in its natural habitat.

By now, weā€™re all familiar with the many options out there for amp modeling. Mic modelers are another reliable asset to digital recording tech, and can rapidly grow your inventory with just a few clicks.

As guitarists, weā€™re very aware of amp-modeling and profiling technologies, such as the Line 6 Helix, Fractal Axe-Fx, Neural DSP Quad Cortex, and Kemper Profiler. While our bases are covered for these (with modelers available for every ā€œholy grailā€ amp under the sun), we are still missing another vital area of the recording processā€”microphonesā€”for the acoustic instruments and vocals we might want to capture.

A smooth user experience and standout high-gain sounds distinguish this powerful modeler.

Easy to create new rigs. Bluetooth, amp cloner, and cloud features are very useful. Solid high-gain tones.

Some clean, breakup, and fuzz tones can sound thin and a bit stiff.
