Korg Ampworks Guitar Modeling Signal Processor Customer Review

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
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.
Features
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.
Manufacturer Support
Never needed any support from Korg yet. Been using their gears for years.

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.

"Check it out"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
see above
Sound
Very rich full models. It surprised me how well the clean sounds broke up with harder strumming. The only thing that disappointed me was the SUPER sensitive noise gate. As soon as there is no signal from the guitar it just ends abruptly. This is bad for the chorus and reverb. Otherwise, i was floored by this little unit.
Features
i like the stereo out port which can go to headphones, an amp, or pc. I also like the amp/line switch! I wish it had a bit more control over the effects though.
Quality

Value
great value for the money. You are getting more than you'd expect for twice the amount.
Manufacturer Support
i never dealt with support
The Wow Factor
I want it.
