I had one for a few days and wasn't impressed. It hummed quite a bit even though the gain wasn't very high. I never used the direct out though, I was just plugging it into power amps.I think that the cab is part of the circuit, You can't swap it out like an IR. That was part of their sales pitch was that it was all analog.
That's where the CabM comes in. But that's another device-Got it. I was thinking more about live situations. It would be nice to get the favorite IR, without having to plug another device.
Thanks!
