Guitarists... have you seen the videos on the EHX C9, KEY9, and MEL9... very cool
I know this forum is generally for DAW related hardware but I think these are relative (if you play guitar). Check the EHX YT page. I really like the MEL9 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiTHc8d9D20 , the KEY9 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av4X84lChEE , and the C9 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZKVPzRyn50 ... the B9 came first and I almost jumped but I like all three of these better especially the MEL9 and the C9. They are really cool especially the way you can, with the attack on the MEL9, make the FX follow the guitar. Two outs, Wet/DRY. You can run the wet to a clean amp or a powered monitor and the dry out to an amp (a dirty amp) and get some GREAT sounds.. or the people making the videos can. You can use the flute on either the MEL9 or the C9 to do a convincing Strawberry Fields. Lots of good Zep sounds this way too. If you play guitar, take a look. I think you'll like! On another note the new Firehawk 1500 from Line6 http://line6.com/firehawk/firehawk-1500/ http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/FireHawk1500?adpos=1o2&creative=55281441601&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=Cj0KEQjwgJq-BRCFqcLW8_DU9agBEiQAz8Kohzu89yuA7V2Pl56ydv6cq1eZUaqnl0Zn2-rl7L91RywaArFn8P8HAQ it looks like a big step in the right direction. 1,500w, plenty headroom, six speakers, stereo FX speakers and a 12" w/horn for dry. 200 models... I think modelling is about to come of age. Lots of people using the Kemper and AXE-FX onstage. From what I've read the Firehawk 1500 is good enough in a band setting but not quite there (vs a good tube amp for playing alone... but close.) Check them out, if you want. I haven't listened to any clips or vids of the Firehawk because amp videos are generally a let down, too much distortion usually. Anyway, I'm interested in all of them and a new pedal board. Heck, I'm interested in everything. I default to guitar stuff when my DAW gets too frustrating. Last week I could get no sound from any standalone drum program or synth. I get sound from Sound Cloud and I get sound from clips drag/dropped from the browser into a midi track. I updated to the new W-10 version, will try again tomorrow... but that's another story. Check out the pedals if you haven't. I think the amp shows progress. Remember the Alexander Dumble quote, "In ten years digital modelling will be good enough to replace tube amps" (may be paraphrase). J

Me too! There are some "like new" ones on Reverb.com for under $200, some well under. The MEL is still close to $200. The flutes are also on the C9 but I don't know if they are exactly the same. They do sound good don't they! I just need to figure out if I want a MEL first or a C9 first, MEL I think. Probably going to order one today. I'll have to learn Strawberry Fields and some ELP, lol. Glad you like. J

Very cool. I bet the Mel9 with a lap steel and some echo would be supremely trippy.
