I only have two brain cells left, ...and I'm saving them for the weekend!

MarshallJMP

So Harley when will we see your collection ???  ::)

Kim

I wish I could check out an Ampulator some day.  I see one every now and then for sale but whenever I have that kind of money to spend, it's always needed somewhere else.   :(   Besides, I got my ass kicked that time I bought a slightly broken MB-1; I couldn't seem to fix it and then couldn't resell it for what I paid.   I really wanted my bassist to have it but he couldn't afford it either.  lol

Hey Kim

What are ampulators going these days?

Kim

IIRC the last few I saw were asking ~600 USD.   

I just want to try one out to check the poweramp sims for recording, as I'm already familiar with the Microcab's cab sims.

MarshallJMP

Wow the price on these stays high doesn't it?

Well it sounds very different from a µcab altough it has less cab sims but this is made up by the power amp sim.It's a nice piece of equipment with lots of tonal capabilities.And it's quite original,don't think I have seem something similar.

   I'll get around to it one of these days. I need to finish the big rack, then I'll probably get the rest of the gear out and get a pic of it. I'm working overtime lately, so I have to take it while I can get it.

Well, it seems like it's always the same one for sale.  It pops up now and then, nobody buys it and seller tries again later.  So maybe it's too high a price that's keeping it from being sold? 

I thought I had a much better chance of owning an Ampulator than I would a Quad Tube.  lol

Yeah, I think a quad tube is more rare then a ampulator.I never saw one for sale here.

Ampulator.
I definitely love it. I believe I collapse the entire building if I completely turn the knobs. It saved me on stage many times when I plug my set up to a bad sounding cabinet. I normally close the speaker emulation when the cabinet is fine itself and be in a good condition. But when the condition of cab. is bad, I cannot cut off the grinding sound and it disturbs me during the show even all band starts to play. I open the emulation just 1x12 and every bad noise becoming filtered.
And one more thing, the venue had now an additional xlr cable for directly to the PA !!!!!
No more carrying two tons of poweramp, no more annoying cabinets. :whoohoo!: :banana: I really wonder how will it sound. (Any suggestions accepted, for example what should I do for two buttons around the xlr output)

At the same time, I believe I don't use the amp section of ampulator very well. I just adjust the hum injection. The tube bias and Tube matching knobs make no big sense to me. I did them just for a random adjustment. :facepalm:

Did you even read the ampulator manual  ;D

Hanneman213

Hey, Yes I did, but I can not feel the difference in home situation. My cab is 1x12 mini rec. I will check it at my next show.
