I imagine: A guitar combo amp with an embedded computer that can run an embedded version of ReValver. It can drive a second cabinet (for stereo) and has stereo line-outs. It’ll need a bank of foot-switches to switch pre-sets and enable/disable individual effects.
At first I was going to say that it and the extension cabinet should each have a single 12” speaker. Since ReValver does speaker simulation, however, we want high-fidelity speakers rather than typical guitar amp speakers.
Of course, you’d use a desktop/laptop with ReValver to create pre-sets to load into the amp.
And while I’m dreaming, let’s include a compartment in the amp that the foot-switch and it’s cable can be stowed in. And a place to stow the power cord.
A huge amount of tone flexibility in an easy-to-tote package. Suitable for practice, recording, and just about any gig.
You can get pretty close to this today, but not quite.
Vaguely related, the OpenStomp project is interesting.
Yeah, yeah. All you need is a good tube amp. I can enjoy that, but I could also enjoy this.
