@optilude@techhub.social I have a birthday coming up in a couple weeks, and now I'm thinking a Beam Solo might be my fun present (I'm also looking at new tuners for my dreadnaught, but that's hardly celebratory).

@stevegrunwell@phpc.social so early impressions are the hardware doesn’t suck (no obvious clock noise issues, seems thoughtfully designed, not the prettiest). App is good. Better than most competitors. The built in modelled amps are decent but don’t make me go “wow”, which is basically true for all of these devices. Effects are good though I realise I’m a massive reverb snob and the plate and hall here are again decent without being lush. This matters because with NAM you need the reverb for headphone playing. The reason to get this I think is NAM. I’ve not done an A/B yet with same NAM profile playing on a computer. I want to do that soon, time permitting. But I also haven’t you found “the” NAM capture for me. So I’ve just ordered a reamp box to try to make my own… #rabbithole #GearSquad #guitar
