"Great Little device"

Quality:
Very light and portable. Doesn't eat up desk space

Value:
This thing gave me the sound that I would expect from something costing at least 10X as much

Desirability:
I love it. It has a cool vintage feel to it. Like something you'd pick up in a little out of the way music store for a couple hundred bucks.

Sound:
Way Better Than I thought it would sound. I do direct recording on a mac. Couple this with Garageband and you're set

Support:
Never needed support

Overall:
I like this product. It fits my musicl needs to a T

Korg Ampworks Guitar Modeling Signal Processor Customer Review

Feature:
Enough for the real guitar players. But probably not for those who heavily rely on heavy effects. The N.R. (noise reduction) works so well, that if you play single coil guitars. Just the N.R. feature is well worth the price. Takes all of 10 seconds to set it up! And it's dead quiet and absolutely no audible side effects (opening and closing from most noise gates.)

Value:
Buy it.

Desirability:
I own it.

Sound:
SWEET!!! I've compared this unit together with the Line 6's AM4 modeler for two weeks. The Korg totally smoked the Line-6. With the Line 6. The tone controls only work at the extreme settings. The noise gate only partially works on some setting. The different models amps and carbinets don't sound that much different at all. The Line 6 is a piece of junk.

Support:
Never needed any support from Korg yet. Been using their gears for years.

About This Product!
Description
Multimedia
Introducing Ampworks - amp modeling for those who demand the ultimate in amp sound. No frills − just real modeling sound and intuitive operation in an ultra-compact package.

Great Sound in a Small, Easy-To-Use Package
The Ampworks modeler is a stress-free way to experience real amp sound in any situation. Since it's ultra-compact design enables it to fit into the accessory pocket of a guitar case, it's easy to take it along wherever you go − home, studio or stage. This compact unit is also great for PC-based recording systems with limited desktop space.

Modeling Technology for Realistic Sound
Korg's proprietary "REMS" modeling technology is acclaimed by musicians around the world and is used to deliver numerous types of realistic simulation. With stadium-class sound unimaginable from a unit its size, Ampworks delivers the serious sound you need.

Ampworks Contains 11 Coveted Guitar Amp Sounds
Ampworks provides 11 types of amp sounds ranging from vintage to modern. From the warm and fat sounds of tube amps to aggressive high-gain amps and brilliant clean tones, Ampworks delivers the most sought-after tones for any style of playing.

Cabinet Models Sweeten Your Tone Potential
Ampworks provides 11 different models of cabinet and speaker configurations. Every detail of cabinet resonance is faithfully simulated, delivering superb depth and spatial realism even when using headphones or direct-line output.

A Full Range of Effects for Flexible Sound Creation
High-quality effects such as compressor, modulation, delay, and reverb are built-in. These realistic effects are modeled from a variety of superb, pro-level effects using sophisticated technology. The results deliver new depth and versatility to your sound arsenal.

Preset Programs Let You Plug In and Play
For each amp model, ideal tone settings (including the cabinet model and ideal effect) have been preset. Since these eleven preset programs are selected automatically when you choose an amp model, you can immediately start playing with the optimal amp sound. You can also store your own favorite settings in the two user area programs.

Knob-Based Interface for Intuitive Editing
Like a conventional analog amp, operation is simply a matter of turning the knobs. Not just the tone controls, but all amp, cabinet and effect settings are selected using dedicated knobs, so creating the sound you want is intuitive and fast. Delay time, reverb time, and LFO speed settings can be made using the convenient Tap button. There's also a Manual mode that detects the physical position of the knobs, giving you visual confirmation of the sound.
