dash of delay and sprinkle of reverb added
via the effects loop, any perceived absence
of sparkle is remedied, allowing the tonal
characteristics of the individual amp models
to become more recognisable.
One of the most interesting features is
the Tone Capture function. With your amp
connected, the unit can analyse and capture
the tonal characteristics of its preamp stage.
It’s actually a very simple process and using
you throw in the ability to capture and

of the F-30. You can then save this sound
to the Preamp Live and get away without
taking the amp to your next gig.
As a pure modelling device with
hugely flexible connectivity, the Preamp
Live has plenty to recommend it, especially
to players of a heavier persuasion. WhenREVIEWSGUITAR MAGAZINE 125
