VStomp Amp HD vs jAmp 8100

HEART POUNDING AMPLIFIERS ON THE GO The heart pounding VStomp Amp is now ready to go! Following the development of Hotone’s powerful and versatile XTOMP pedal and based on our proprietary CDCM system, VStomp Amp Mobile delivers organic, studio-grade sound quality and the exact character of legendary amplifiers – just the same as desktop version. PLAY REAL – POWERED BY CDCM SYSTEM Unlike mainstream modeling methods based on the characteristics of a certain “state” of the circuitry, which just “comes close” to the modeled sound, VStomp Amp Mobile employs a complex system based on dynamic feature modeling. In this matrix, every single circuit component is ALIVE and performs like its original. The realness of the amp and effects tones has amazed XTOMP users worldwide, and now you can experience it on the go! Behind VStomp Amp Mobile is Hotone’s CDCM (Comprehensive Dynamic Circuit Modeling) system. CDCM is built on an extremely complex dynamic variation matrix, able to realistically express every detailed change that occurs during the operational process of actual circuitry. This matrix will adjust its own modeling parameters and even framework based on the instrument input signal range, signal frequency, knob position, the instrument’s own impedance, and other variable parameters, all to achieve the closest possible characteristics of actual modeled circuitry. THE ESSENTIALS No complex signal chain. No confusing customization or combinations. You pick an amp model, pick a cab model, add some ambience – it’s that simple! The less you tweak, the more you enjoy: just pick out your rig and ROCK!

jAmp 8100 represents a digital emulation of the Marshall Valvestate 8100 amplifier, which stood out as one of the most impressive-sounding amplifiers of the 90s. Numerous metal bands showcased this amplifier in their albums, with particularly notable appearances in the works of bands such as Death, Prong, and Static-X. Features: - Standalone, or as a AUv3 plugin in GarageBand, Logic Pro, or other DAW. - Marshall Valvestate 8100 emulation - Noise gate - Compressor - Ibanez Tube Screamer emulation - Pre amp chorus - Five band post amp equalizer - Post amp stereo chorus - Impulse response (IR) loader - MIDI controller support with MIDI learn - Stereo effect - Integrated IRs by forward-audio.com and Valhallir.at The free version allows you to test jAmp 8100 completely, but every minute the amplifier will be silent for 3 seconds. To remove these limits there is a one time in-app purchase. You need an audio interface to connect your instrument to your mobile device. Known audio interface brands are for instance Focusrite or iRig. For iPad you might want to consider using a USB-C hub with power delivery to avoid draining your battery during your jam session, but this is optional. For iPhone you will need to use an adapter that can  1. connect via lightning port to your iPhone 2. connect to your phone charger with USB 3. connect to your audio interface with USB If you have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 or similar you can use the lighting to USB 3 camera adapter for this which is easily available in the market. Your iPhone cannot deliver enough power on its own to feed the audio interface, so this adapter with a connection to your phone charger is necessary. If you don't have an audio interface, you can still use the AUv3 plugin in a DAW such as GarageBand or Logic Pro. Any (guitar) sound you have recorded can be fed through the jAmp 8100 audio unit to add solid state distortion or any of the other included effects.
