"Modeller-Jam : a meetup for users, the inquisitive, and the downright sceptical" ?

TimmyO

Who would be interested in such a thing? 

Happy users could compare approaches and amplification options.

Interested onlookers could hear (and more importantly feel) for themselves how they perform.

The sceptical could drink beer with folded arms and upturned noses.

And fun and social interaction could be had. 


Leaving aside any "as long as it's near my house, and I reserve the right not to show up on the day" responses, in principle, who'd come?

I would probably come, I have a Zoom G5 which is pretty good and I'd like to see how much better the Helix and Fractal stuff is. 

I run a pretty simple chain with the G5, it's basically an overdriven Fender Twin with a Boost and a Big Muff and occasionally an Envelope Filter.

I enjoy drinking beer with folded arms and an upturned nose.

Though I may need a straw...

Sesh

To be honest, I doubt anyone could keep a straight face if I turned up with my Hohner JT60 (w/ ATN guitar modelling technology), Zoom 3030 and VOX VT20+. And my playing would not sell any of them.

Nikko

Id happily come along with my Katana...

...depending on where the meet-up would be

professorben

Depending where and when I'd be happy to bring my 4x12, power amp and Eleven Rack. 

Roland

Definite yes, subject to the usual availability disclaimer. In addition to Axe FX and Matrix Q12 I can also bring a pair of SRM450s if you want to do the PA/monitor comparison.

Jalapeno

I could make the tea ........

crunchman

I might be interested if it's near London.  I could bring a Kemper.  Might be able to borrow an EV ZLX12P powered cab as well.

TTony

Be good if some parts of the meetup & comparison were video'd perhaps?

rlw

Could do that but my AV30 is a not a modelling amp per se, but it has models....

MatthewShreddery

I reckon just make it a gear fest. 

Kebabkid

I don't have a modeller but if around Surrey or London, I could be tempted to come along and watch, rub my chin and gurn.

I'm specifically interested in Axe-Fx, Kemper and Helix, FFRs, power amp & cab set up etc.

Bridgehouse

I suppose no one is interested in how a bass sounds through Helix?

No? Didn't think so...

sweepy

I'd bring my Axe-Fx MFC101 , Marshall 2020 and Yamaha DBR12's if it wasn't too far

A yes to Bass, Acoustic and Electric Guitar
I do all three with various bands/functions etc so it would be interesting to see if a modelling unit/set-up could be a one stop rig for all.

You organise one of those, I'll organise one of these :-) 

Winny_Pooh

If near London I could bring my metalface plexi and matchless clone for some A/B-ing

sweepy

I'd be up  for bringing the Fishman Triple Play and Mac  if anyone wants to see how far guitar synthesis has come

It would be interesting to hear Helix through a 1000w head into a 1200w 2x10 cab.

I could stay at home and you would all still hear it..

MtB

I'll be on the door collecting the £10 entrance fee.....







Got to find some way of paying off the loan on the Helix
