[Feature content]
It's a common trap to get your dream tube amp, but it's so loud that you can't play it at home (crying). In urban living environments, it's almost impossible to play an amp at a satisfactory volume. Even if you can, it's at most 10W or less. If it exceeds 15W, you're sure to have trouble with your neighbors. In the midst of all this, "cabinet simulators" are attracting attention. The latest models, built with ever-advancing digital technology, are completely different from the old "cabinet simulators." With an ultra-high-performance virtual machine that lets you experience surprisingly realistic cabinet resonance even with headphones, you no longer have to worry about complaints from your neighbors. Feel free to combine rare speaker units, legendary cabinets, and premium-priced microphones to enjoy great guitar sounds at home every day. Hooray for digital technology. I really think the world has become a better place!
