Im right there with you. Me personally when they dont do a comparison its either not good at all or noticably not exact. He said in the video its a "tribute" which makes me think they werent really going for a 1:1 kinda thing with it but to capture the essence of the 5150 without making a exact *copy* of it. It sounds pretty good on its own though

I have an Axe FX II. When they first came out, they were seen as basically miraculous - every amp, cab, effects pedal, and endless control to set up as you wish. And most importantly, great sounds. Today, you can't give them away. But to my ears, the Axe FX II easily competes with the sounds you can get from these UA pedals. Rather than just a 5150, you get every Marshall, Mesa Mark series, Recto, Orange, Splawn, Diezel, and you can combine them with any cab, or multiple cabs, and boost them with any boost. To each his own, but I won't buy dropping hundreds of dollars for a digital rendition of a single amp any time soon.

I know I am totally missing the point. However... a Synergy 6505 preamp costs the same amount (yes I know you need to buy the SYN1 to go with it). I do understand that this has all the boost pedals and cab sim included, so if you want to record direct, it's cool. But helix native is also the same price with far more options for direct recording. The main draw I do see for it vs HX native is the physical knobs that you get. The immediate feedback of a potentiometer versus moving a slider on a computer hits different. It also sounds pretty decent. I'd be curious to see how it sounds compared to the POD express.

my curiosity would be how it feels to play it, the original 5150s were wildly different from specimen to specimen. I have played specimens that both sounded and felt great but nothing alike and I have played specimens that did not sound good or feel great once again that sounded nothing alike. May have to give this a shot. I remember walking into Wonderland music in 1993 and the original 5150 would always be sitting over to the one side of the store on top of a stack of cabinets and I would plug into it. about every couple months or so i could tell they replaced it with a different one and that someone had purchased the one I was playing through because it would sound different. I was only 13 years old at the time so I couldn’t scrounge up the bread to purchase it but I definitely got to play through quite a few of them at different music stores, and couple of my friends had them in the late 90s/early 2000s before everyone went crazy over them. it’s exactly why I haven’t bothered to purchase an original on Reverb because in order for me to purchase one of those, I want to hear it and play it first. this pedal would be absolutely great if it captures the better points of the 5150.def one of my favorite amplifiers of all time. I don’t think anything will ever stack up to my KSR though LOL man thanks for the great review. Going to go check this out now. Hope you’re having a great weekend my friend.

They mean it's essentially the preamp from a guitar amplifier, which you could then run through a power amp to amplify the signal and then out to a speaker cabinet.

Amp in a Pedal or Amp in a Box. Means the Pedal is tying to sound like a paticular amp. Or some particular amps. It sort of is a category of dirt pedal. There are differences though: More oldscool analoge amp in a Box Pedals are designed to go into the front of a real clean amp. This one is mostly designed to go directly into the pa without any real guitar amp so it's designed to replace the amp entirely. You can turn off the cap simulation and run it into an effects Loop of a Guitar amp so you can get it loud and use a real guitar speaker without the need of a pa.

The weak spot for this pedal and the UAFX Lion as well, which to me is mind-bogling, is the fact that you cannot cycle through a number of presets you create - without using the app to do it! If you are thinking you can use this as a multi-sound pedal in a live situation, you cannot, unless you are one of those players who uses your phone on stage. And if you do, you should not be onstage.

The pedal sounds lovely but at this point I'm not sure there's a good place for it. I play in a band and we are two guitar players, I sing and I'm the rhythm guitar. Since I don't really use anything other than a clean amp and a high gain amp, a Tonex One is more than enough for me and arguably sounds equal if not better than this. My brother is the lead guitar player and he definitely needs more so he has an HX stomp being the amp modeler with a couple of FX and a bunch of other external pedals... but unless you REALLY dig the sound of this particular unit, why bother? If you are a lead guitar player, for 200 dollars more you get the HX Stomp, or even the HX Stomp XL which extends the palette a lot further... I just don't see where there would be a place for this unit nowadays.

This guy is the worst🤣… but the UA boxes are cool. You’re paying for UA software installed into a fake stomp box. They are really the highest end boutique studio pedals. They are the result of the accomplishment of the amp attenuator from the same company. Reactive attenuation. The iridium/tonex etc. are snapshot filter sounds that you play through. The UA pedals are on a whole other level. They have mega headroom and sound natural. But unless you’re someone who is recording and listening to your tone through headphones it’s a waste of your money
