Ampeg Digital Modeling Amps

[Bassdoggydogg]

Has Ampeg ever made a digital modeling amp? That would be sweet to have any Ampeg sound in one combo. I've heard the Rumble 800 Stage's Ampeg modeling is a little lack luster, which is kind of a shame. A legit Ampeg brand digital modeling combo that soley focuses on Ampeg's line up would be dope though.

Line6 does Ampeg. Both brands are owned by Yamaha.

Ohhhhh that explains why they get talked about so much. I'm fairly unfamiliar with them though (clearly). Now I'm going to research and probably GAS super hard lol.

Having owned both, I think Zoom does a better SVT/8x10 emulation in the B3n/B1 Four than Line 6 does in their modelers. I can't say whether it's more accurate to the original, but it sounds better to my ears and seems to sit better in mixes.

The Line 6 does a better job with some of the other amp/cab emulations, though. Each box has a few sounds it does very well, and I have found uses for both.

Frightening thread title!

Especially right after leaving the “Yamaha-Ampeg done nothin’ new” thread.
