![]() Although there doesn’t seem to be much history on modeling amps (tube amps dominate most of the available amplifier books), I’ll shed a little light on these multibutton, multi-tasking machines.īasically, modeling amps simulate or reproduce the sounds of various popular amplifiers and cabinets (Fender, Marshall, Ampeg, and Vox are some of the favorites). Modeling guitar amplifiers became extremely popular in the early 2000s, but they have since subsided a bit and there are several reasons for this. “Innovate…Don’t Emulate” was Fender’s catchphrase for their new line of modeling guitar amplifiers in 2001, which is kind of an oxymoron since these new amplifiers were made to recreate the sounds of yesteryear. I’m curious about modeling amps, their effects, and what this unit is worth today. Although it isn’t the easiest amp figure out, it is cool nonetheless. I dug it out the other day to play around with it again, and I remembered how much fun you can have with it. I used it a lot when I bought it new, but it has since worked its way into the storage room. It has all kinds of controls, knobs, buttons, and a built-in tuner. I have one of those Fender modeling amps called the Cyber Deluxe.
