ample (Poly effects)
I recently posted my first video guitar pedal demo, focused on the brand new Ample by Poly Effects. I feel super grateful to be included in the list of YouTubers that Poly Effects asked to create an Ample launch video.
Getting to test out Ample weeks ahead of its official release was a privilege, and I really bonded with it. It certainly solves a few problems for me:
I need to record some pedals in stereo (for video demos), but currently I only own one tube amplifier (the fantastic Australian Valvetone Neon). I’d typically run my amp through a Two Notes Torpedo Captor X for easy (and quiet) recording.
I can now demo how pedals sound using multiple world-class amplifier(model)s, instead of only using my own amp.
I can travel with my pedalboard (to rehearsal, gigs, or just to jam at a friend’s house, without bringing my amp and cabinet.
Thank you to Poly Effects for sending me this pedal and trusting me to help launch it when it was released. I met Loki from Poly Effects in August 2024 when I worked at the Chase Bliss & Pedal Empire “Pedal Party”, an event we hosted in Brisbane and Sydney to celebrate the start of Pedal Empire being the official Chase Bliss distributor for Australia.
