▶ hah Roland has virtualised the Jazz Chorus 120 Guitar amp – I owned one of these amps for the last 5+ years but eventually sold it recently because its just too freaking loud! Like I never turned it up above 2 and even then it was too loud, so there was no way to drive the amp unless you joined up 5 long guitar cables & had it set up half a mile away!! So I sold it and bought a Blackstar Debut 50R secondhand for very little, and will buy a second one as soon as one comes up for sale secondhand locally, as I have a project I want stereo guitar for… Anyone in NZ selling one let me know!

Whats the ROI on playing an instrument?
INFINITE.
I think the fundamental flaw in their thinking is that during all the time spent playing music, you develop taste & character & find your voice. Typing text prompts into a slop machine is exactly why AI music sounds so bad – it has no taste. Effortless slop.
