MC808 vs SP606 vs SP555 vs Micro Br guitar amp sim effects

Post by mraak »

Hello. I already own Boss Micro Br and love the guitar amp sims built in (in particular MS1 and SLDN preamp model paired with METAL Large Dual Stack SPeaker sim). Now I would like to get myself either a MC-808, SP-606 or SP-555. It all depends on which one has the same (up to date?)amp sims as Micro Br has. I will use the groovebox on its own (without Micro Br). I've looked in the manual of each and they all have the same amp and speaker models listed and same set of settings as the old Boss GT3 guitar processor so I wonder if they are all the same or which model (if any) has the newest updated ones?
Thank you.

Well it all comes down to sampling or sequencing as the tie-breaker. Are you going to be sampling or sequencing more?? And do you have Windows 7 or earlier?? The MC-808 can sample but not as good as the SP-555. It is more of a groove machine/all-in-one unit. The amp sim on the MC-808 is pretty nice. I cannot say much for the SP-555 as it is a sampler and I personally don't need one. Not even going to comment on the SP-606 but it is an older model sampler.

Hi, DaniH! I'll do both so I decided to go for Fantom Xa instead. Thanks for the response!
