#tubeamps #ampsimulation
Do you think guitar amps are unnecessary and overpriced? Or would you always go for a real amp and pretty much laugh at amp simulations? Let's see how an amp simulation pedal holds up against my dream tube amp rig. I'm pretty sure, you'll be surprised...
Enjoy Gear Corner!

** Why the "Includes paid promotion" message? **
According to german laws everyone has to mark their videos as advertisements as soon as there's a single "subject relevant" product, tag or link in it. Even if you didn't get paid for making that video. Sounds confusing and it really doesn't help the viewer to see which is a paid review and which isn't.
--- The line of truth: Is this actually a paid review? Walrus Audio sent over the ACS1 for this video, so technically that makes this a paid promotion. (I update this line for every video).
