MovinAir Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hi all. First post, hopefully I'm in the correct forum. The lockdown has had me looking at digital modeling for headphone practicing at home and I have recently purchased a mooer ge250. It is going back, just disappointed with it. I already own a HXFX which I used to use in a covers band through a clean amp. I got it out the other day and paired it with my Orange Rocker combo and played on the half watt setting nice and quietly. Instantly it just felt so much better than my brief experience with the mooer.. So, I wanted to ask you all if you have any recommendations for units that have amp and cab sims that I could use with the HXFX in order to play through headphones. There are so many to choose from these days its a little overwhelming. Any advice and experience would be helpful. Btw, currently have audio technica ATH M40X headphones, not sure how good they are. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 These always get a lot of attention and good reviews. I have no experience with either. I do own a Sans Amp PSA-1 and I like it a lot. It's basically the PSA 2.0 in a rack mount. https://atomicamps.com/amplifire-6/ http://www.tech21nyc.com/products/sansamp/psa-2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts020572 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Maybe something from Two Notes https://www.two-notes.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovinAir Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 The two notes looks good but no aux in for playing backing tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1ckDELTA Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Uhmmm . . . The HX Stomp? The amp and cab sims seem to be liked by a lot of folks and the programming workflow is just like the HXFX. Just sayin’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovinAir Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 But I already have the HXFX, seems a bit daft to then go and buy the stomp and plug the HXFX into it. Im looking for something that does good amp and cab sims then plug the HXFX into that, unless you are suggesting getting rid of it and replacing it with the Stomp? My very brief encounter with digital modelers has been a bit meh but granted, I tried a unit that cost £400 so can't expect too much. £400 is roughly what I paid for the HXFX, I'm now ready to buy something of reasonable quality to match that unit for home use through headphones.

Jammin_J Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I use the HX with an Ampli Firebox, nice small rig. Use an Presonus Audiobox for recording and to be able to play along with songs/metronome. Unfortunatly the Amplifire has no Aux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
