[MusicTlk] help with modelling guitar amps

Sun Aug 8 13:41:27 UTC 2021

Hi again,
Its not totally accessible  however it seems to be the most accessible of all the multi effects processers currently available.
Boss has several preset patches available you can download in addition to whats already in it.  I honestly haven't tried o get real creative with it but it has some great preset sounds. Particularly like the Gilmore.
  As far as buying it and returning it goes both Musicians Friend and Amazon have it available and both will send UPS to your door to pick it back up with a return label in hand if you can't print one out.  Last I checked amazon will give you 30 days and MF 45 to play with it and decide. And I am sure that if you simply tell them you can't use it because you can't access various features because of your vision that they will not even charge any return postage.By the way I use it through a delux reverb set totally dry and it sounds really good.
There is another one that was suggested to me but I honestly don't recall what it was.
Hope this helps a little
Bill

     Hello,

I would like to thank those who have responded thus far.

I am wanting something that I can layer effects with.

For example, distortion, chorus, compresser, delay, reverb perhaps not 
in that order but I think you get the point.

So I actually have some nice amps however I want those effects, I have 
reverb on my current amps and of course there is distortion but nothing 
else.

The boss pedal mentioned, is it accessable, as in no sighted help to 
layer effects on it?  or is it even possible to make your own sounds?

I really do not want to spend 1000 bucks but my price range is not 
limited to around 300 bucks.

I realize I could by it and return it but sometimes it is difficult to 
get the rides required that I might need to take it back.

Again thanks for all the help, I really do appreciate it very much.

You may also need to take advantage of something like iOS’s screen recognition or similar if you have a device that supports it to navigate the apps. IF something looks accessible then buy the amp from a place with a return policy so you can try it out. In the states,  a lot of stores are 30 days but there are a couple online retailers that do 45 day return policy.
>> One of those two amps will probably be the best place to start if you want an actual amp. Other stuff I can think of would be outside the price range of those amps and I am. Guessing if those are the ones you are looking at that’s the budget you’d like to stay with in.
