The True is...

It will be undoubtedly a trend in the future. Heavy transformers, etc., there is technology today to eliminate this. BluAmp is almost perfect, but I returned it for two reasons:

1. There is permanent background noise. It is not a loud sound and it is not affected by the volume, but it is annoying if you use it at home or when recording. I have tube amplifiers (Bugera, Orange, BlackStar) and none do that. This noise passes to the recordings regardless of whether the sound is clean or drive. If you use it for rehearsals or with high volumes it can be indifferent (maybe...).

2. There is an error in the design regarding the position of the Noise Gate and the Reberb. If you use the Gate in the Metal position, the reverb is useless, as the high gain noise will appear for a while ruining the effect. With pedals positioned before the Gate and then the reverb, it doesn't.

Corrected that, for me it would be a great amplifier with a highly modern and innovative design.

I hope that the new AmpX from BluAmp does not have these rather amateurish problems.
