here's a little A/B i did direct vs mic'd with a 421:

pretty cool piece...while not perfect, it's pretty damn cool to not have to worry about waking the neighbors at 3am but still being able to track some good tone!

Damn those look really cool and it sounds almost identical... I like the stereo part... Also you are in good company on Soundcloud; it suggested this on the bottom, Uttara Ashada, Al Jazeera, John Legend...

yah, it really shines with fuzz/od/distortion - anything with gain - clean, not so much!
my soundcloud homies!

Cool. Had my eye on the Surprise Sound SE-5 for awhile

But have yet to buy. This looks superior, but the Two Notes Torpedo CAB looks like the mother of all all cab/mic sim pedals:

Now to find $550...

When you use the A/DA... is there still an amp involved?

Nope, it's meant to be a replacement to having an amp/cabinet

That one looks scary. I don't think I'd trust it with my superbass. I think it would melt.
EDIT: i see now where it's only 5 watts....OK....
actually, so does that one, but not in the same way!
I have a feeling the CAB would be much like my Timeline - so many settings and i use just a few!

This is neat...it would be nice to not have to lug a amp/cab for the noise shows I plan on doin.
