Maybe it's just me and while it looks interesting, honestly I thought the sound in the video was pretty bad . It appears and sounds like they may have been using the camera mics and is recorded in an untreated cinder block room. The room itself very reverberant (and not really in a good way ) and when he maxed the reverb it was way swampy and washy and fake sounding
Hopefully they can get some better video's going.

I like hearing micd sounds for amps. Outputs
Show the quality of the circuitry . I like hearing What the amp will sound like live. |

Seems like a lot of digital stuff going on (not necessarily a bad thing) ... but can you save presets or is that an impossible dream?

The Elite Acoustics D6-8 has ten memory slots.

I did solve the problem, as it only appears when you put way too much reverb (mostly the preset 1, the other presets are ok). You could take it if you need a battery powered amp but if you don't need the battery feature you could find a little bit better for the price i guess (more powerful maybe), but i'm a noob in acoustic amps so I can't be sure. I wouldn't recommend buying it before trying it as I did. I didn't look for the best sounding amp, just the more convenient and durable (not made in china) for my use. Had a little luck as the sound definitely pleases me. Go to a local shop and try some amps to see if you can find a good one there. Or get this one and return it if you don't like it. But I personnaly think it's amazing, both for vocals and guitar. |

Well, the D6-8 came yesterday. Wow! It’s kind of like setting up an ideal recording session sound with a studio monitor and all the toys you need to do that, except that it’s all there in a guitar amp box that you can pick up and take anywhere! It certainly has an upper volume limit before it distorts and I was hitting it until I turned on a touch of compression. It’s by far the best vocal and guitar sound I’ve heard within its volume limits.

Elite Acoustics Engineering D6-8
A bit more on this. The D6-8 is by far the best sound I’ve ever heard in guitar amp. The sound I’m getting in my living room sounds like a great recording session with all the tools you need to make it perfect. It’s absolutely perfect at the levels you would listen to in a small room. I’ve put together a guitar preset that has a little high pass filtering, a little boost on the low end right above the high pass, a notch taking out the guitar feedback I get from boosting the lows, a touch of compression, and subtle reverb and delay. That with vocals on my condenser mic and a touch of compression and reverb. The sound is just like a home studio recording session! Just perfect.
It just has no extra oomph though. If I turn it up to the levels I would use in a noisy room live, it distorts pretty badly. It has really nice metering so it’s not a preamp thing, it’s the 40 watt (peak I believe) output amp. I still absolutely love it, but I can only see myself using it live as a monitor feeding into some sort of house PA, and even then, probably not on a gig with a noisy crowd. Personally, I am limiting myself to quiet gigs because of hearing damage, so it is a perfect fit for me. Even on larger gigs, I like to keep my stage levels low so it will be a good fit. What is particularly cool is that it has a stereo mixer with two XLR outs. You can set up your mix, then send it to the house. There is a knob to adjust the overall level, so if you give yourself a little headroom during soundcheck, you can turn it up from the amp in the house if you need to. Alternately, you can switch into another mode where the inputs from channels one and two go out to the house. That way, if you are doing a vocal and guitar gig, you can mix for yourself, but send the soundman raw guitar and vocals to mix as he pleases. This really is a practical system. My only wish is that it had a little more headroom before distorting. |

Hey thanks for the update. Looks like a good recording tool as well, just plug straight into a audio interface. How loud is it really? Compared to other amps? Could it cover a coffee house gig? |
