I just ordered mine and can't wait to play with it !! This video is by far the best demo of this pedal !! These Room Mic tones sound amazing !! It shows us that finding the perfect matching IRs (to our taste) is key to unlock the potential.

I use the NUX Solid Studio at the end of my pedal chain for recording. It has a variety of amps and cabs, with variable accuracy, but there are one or two extremely useful ones. It also models a number of popular mics as well. I like it, and this Amp Academy looks like an improvement.

[bernardofernandes]

Great playing and video editing, Colin! So well done! Congratulations! 🤘🎸

[el_kammeroni]

I have to admit, I am a big fan of NUX. Their MLD Bass preamp is my most valued pedal!!! Just gotta love it, smart feature set and great price! Also, this seems like the guitar version, very similar features and software.

[ryanbwags]

This is awesome. I've been using an inexpensive modeler fro a bit now, and I decided a couple months ago that I am more than likely never going to buy another traditional amplifier. I even bought a pedalboard sized power amp to plug it into a cab. My ultimate goal is a Kemper or AXEFX, but that's a ways away.
I've been at it for 25 years and I wish this stuff was this amazing when i started out. I would probably be a lot better.

[TheAarondg]

Great review! Loved the sections where you went back and forth between DI and In-Room Mic; demonstrates just how close the sounds are

[hoosierdaddy]

Great demo.. I'm needing something like this as I can't justify an AxeFx or Kemper for instance, but this would be great as a pedal board amp with some other pedals in the loop. I play at places that make you go direct or use their ISO box, etc.. So, I'd rather use something like this and it has those scenes I had no idea about.. Very cool.. Thanks again!

[kolardins]

Thank you for the detailed review, especially the part about IR control separation between different outputs.

[bravotronalpha]

Very nice. Ever since the 'tube crisis' that kicked off months ago, I've been moving toward solid-state alternatives to tube amps. Ended up getting a Helix LT and a Hughes & Kettner Ampman Classic, but may give this a shot as well. Looks like a lot of features to be had in one box.

[arronfitzsimmons]

Colin! Great vid.

Would you do a vid on using an oscilloscope to measure frequency response?

I recently purchased an oscilloscope after being inspired by your vids and would love to see a little more know how for starting out ☺️

[nedim_guitar]

Really good review and demo of basically all the functions.

[sunmoonstarkiwi]

You've made the explanation very clear how to apply the product. 🙂🙂 Great one.

[congoose]

What a beautiful world. This little pedal has so many more features than a lot of the amp heads I've been looking at.

[cliftongardner]

Looks like a pedal version of what's in the NUX MG-30. I've got the MG-30 and it's no joke. Great compact modeler; useful for almost any application, home or live. Just wish it had the XLR out and IR options for it!

[bobby_grout]

I'm running the Blackstar dual drive for an amp replacement and have been enjoying it. It's got a couple issues but can't justify going to Strymon or walrus's but this seems like a good option.

[murder_out]

They really thought of everything in this product. I've been waiting to see who makes such an all encompassing amp/cab sim pedal. Who would have thought it would be NUX

[EXSENTRIX]

This is incredible! I'd love to own one eventually. Great vid man. 🤘🏼💀🎸

[georgewilkins]

Is Stereo possible?
Yes I believe it is. You will need a 2 channel or more interface.
I'm a recording engineer aswell as a guitarist..
Record from the amp academy DI out XLR into chanell one of your audio interface into your DAW. Impulse response ON (as Colin demonstrated)
Go from the amp academy quarter inch out into a power IR OFF (behringer 100 watt power amp is fine, it's cheap to buy) from the power amp connect a speaker cab I use a 2 x 12 but 1 x 12 will do (check out the ohms).. Then just mic up the speaker (SM57 will do the job) and connect the mic to channel 2 on your audio interface..record both channels at once panned left and right. Two different sounds recorded at once both via the amp academy... There are other ways to do this.. I prefer the above.. Big sound...
Let me know your thoughts.. 😊
