Has anyone played their non-pedal steel through the new Fender Cyber-Twin amp? It is designed to be selectable to sound like many classic amps and many contemporary amps. The new amp has both tube and DSP circuitry and can sound like the 1959 Bassman, 1960 Bandmaster, 1965 Twin Reverb, 1965 Deluxe Reverb, and a total of 35 classic amplifiers. Changing dials and switches actually allows you to copy the specific circuit design of the selected amp.
It has an LCD readout and four preset buttons,___two 15" Celestion speakers.
This amp may have a lot of excess baggage for steel.
Any opinions?

Well, it gets ripped apart by the amp experts. Kinds of opinions you would expect, i.e. doesn't sound like any of the amps, too sterile, etc...
My 2 cents? Great idea, but you try to be too many things at once, you end up appealing to noone! |

The experts are an impartial group of Mesa-Boogie, Peavey and Marshall employees.  |

This should really go in the Electronics area.
