I'm thinking about the Strymon, I have a Vox AC15C1 and even though it's pretty light when it comes to tube amps it's still a pain to haul around. If you have a Big Sky, check out the cab filter, it's pretty good.
Iridium, and Two Notes Opus are the best…Simplifier coming today! Asci only does clean tones…and the Boss you are getting I i didn’t care for, and was not as good as the ones I mention at all.
Great comparisons. It would also be interesting to use all 3 as a clean pedal platform and then add an overdrive, distortion and fuzz to see which one works best
I wonder why you cut trebles and presence on a clean tones on simplifier only? As a result it sounded less open and less bright. I suppose you can tweak them to more similar tones.
I was finding the DSM's top end a little harsh with the Telecaster - really I had to turn the treble and presence down to get it sounding nice. Seems like a reasonable match with the ACS1 to me, but I agree it is less 'open'.
@@DickieDemos ok, that makes sense. Interesting - if I read forums and reviews everywhere, people are super excited about Simplifier, telling how amp-like it sounds, how it is better that all the digital stuff including the most expensive one. But when I listen to demos I don't hear that. Here in your comparison I would choose Strymon and Warlus probably in all cases that you showed.
Thought I was going to come away from this loving the Simplifier but it just sounded so thin compared with the other two. The ACS is the overall winner for me (although not in every situation).
