Hopefully we see a blind shootout between these, the Universal Audio pedals and the real amps

I ordered the Deluxe Ampworkx on Friday and it arrived 2 days later, great service. Plugged into a Headrush FRFR 108, set TC for a 100% clean tone with Bright OFF, Gain at 5, Level 10, Bass 6, Middle 4 Treble at 5. Reverb 4. First impression: very impressed as I like a Princeton/Deluxe clean that can take pedals. Sounded great with a Tele and also Humbuckers. For years I have been using a Tech 21 Blonde as a DI pedal platform. While the Tech 21 is probably a little warmer, the bang for buck is good with TC. I wasn't overkeen with the OD sound (it wasn't terrible), I have a Fulltone Fulldrive 2 which works well in front (along with a T-Rex tremster). I feel I could do an 'ampless' gig with a monitor and this DI'd. Not a lot of cash to outlay, I was considering a Princeton Tonemaster and also had my eye on an Iridium, I'll not bother with either at the moment. Worth a punt, and I haven't tried it into a DAW yet.

tbh, it being just the one sim is fine by me. I feel like as time goes one, I'm just more interested in my amp having it's own personal character, and if it means just the one or two channels, that suits me more than menu scrolling through a thousand (still very nice crafted) IR's.

Jims 45 sounds awesome. Didn't realise it was also known for good cleans. What's happening in the digital pedal world is very interesting. Tech is advancing really fast and prices are dropping very quickly . Great review as always

[timothysnave]

The AC-30 has a beautiful clean tone. My biggest gripe with almost every modeler out there is that they completely ignore it. You don't HAVE to crank it.

[benjaminthorpe]

Fender is missing out by not releasing one of their own with selectable models like a bassman, super, brownface etc.
That would be a great product!

[gazzy_burns]

Technology is moving so quickly - this seems like a good way to bring prices down in the world of £350 amp in a box pedals.

[Hushman]

I reviewed these pedals as well, and the two channels on the unit are not the same guys.
Green channel Jims 45 : JTM45 with a PPIMV at 50%
Red Channel : JTM45 original with no master volume
Green Channel Combo Deluxe : Normal channel of the Deluxe 65
Red Channel : Vibrato channel of the Deluxe 65
I cant remember the variations of the DC30 but they are different channel as well.

It’s all written on the user guide …

[buckbumble]

Can you use these with a normal tube amp like a Marshall DSL5?

[eze]

Will these work like a good old stompbox in front of a cheap solid state combo amp on clean channel? Or only to be used direct/cab sim, or in fx loop of a tube amp? 🤷‍♂️

[larsfocken]

I have got the Boss FBM-1 and FDR-1 pedals that were released years ago. I really like them because they are great practice tools. So these new TC pedals make sense to me.

[Groovegandalf]

I've had my 65 for about 6 months now and I love it. The cost to features are great and the firmware update has fixed the small issues there were. That being said, I disagree with Captain as the 2 channels definitely have a 2 separate voicings. Red definitely breaks up quicker and has some more push. Green is crystal clean. The only thing cleaner I own is the clean channel on my Orange Crush.

Thanks guys for the great demo! And thanks to Andertons for putting these on sale (January 2024), I purchased 2 of them (shipped to the USA, your sale made it cheaper than buying here!) and they sound wonderful! Because these units are specific to a certain amplifier, I feel the physical experience of plugging them in meets the experience of plugging into a specific amp in a more direct way than going through a menu searching for an amp on a more pricier pedal. One pedal is designed to deliver a more Marshall experience. OK, I'm in. The other is designed to deliver a more Fender experience. I'm totally in. The Vox too. Two of these pedals are cheaper than the UA pedal, and thus, I purchased two (I already had one before the Anderton sale). I record music into my laptop. I have good amps, and good microphones, but sometimes, I just need to go direct into the soundcard. Nothing, before these boxes, was satisfactory to that end. These units sound nice in my laptops DAW! Gamechanger? YES!! In a big way!! Thanks und danke schön, TC Electronic! Thank you Anderton!!

I know Pete said it's not possible to load IRs, but I'd like to know if it's possible to load IRs.

[LNROKR]

Wow, pretty good EC/Blues breaker sound on the JIMS (Marshall that is !) Colour me intrigued, great video guys, like the affordability factor most of all!

[javiacustico]

very stright forward wysiwyg and fair priced.. maybe for some lacks of some features, but i think it's a solid release very much needed for the "post Tore" tc electronic era. Hope they keep developing this series in the future.. i will give de Fender style one a shot!

[FabioLovaglio]

The 65 one should be really intriguing for the guitar player who play small gigs as rhythmic guitar player with a clean/semi-clean sound with just a bit of reverb to make it pleasent and not too dry. You would basically need just the two cables, the pedal itself and maybe a power bank to power it, it would all fits in the guitar gigbag.

My Tech21 PSA 2.0 works great for an amp pedal, that can do many amp tones. Much more portable than the PSA 1.1 I had back in the day.

[alexstrums]

Dabbled with the Boss IR-2 but couldn’t get the sounds I liked and ended up going down the IR rabbit hole. Sold that bad boy and have a JIMS 45 en route. I’d take one well crafted amp over 000’s of options any day of the week. It’s all about spending more time playing and less time fiddling and reading forums 👀

@Peter: Jims45 is based on our common friend Soren Andersens original ´65 JTM45.
