ACS 1 Amp+Cab Simulator : great option for silent practice and more

5 years ago

My first setup for silent home practice, was connecting my pedalboard to a small mixer with instrument level inputs. It was clear something was missing in the sound, so I started looking for a pedal doing amp and cab sim. In the end, the choice was between this pedal and a strymon iridium. To my ears the strymon pedals always seem to sound somewhat too clean, and so I chose this pedal. Apart from the slightly better sound, the ease of selecting amp and cab in the pedal without having option-overload (the built-in IRs are great) was the second feature to convince me. The room knob makes the sound great.

My setup normally consists of a fender deluxe reverb, and a single coil rickenbacker 660/6, and while the sound using the pedal may not be 100% exactly the same, it is way good enough for me to get that amp+cab feeling when playing through headphones.
