The back side doesn’t have as much to interact with. However, I noticed that you could change and tweak the power tubes, which is pretty nice. Most of the knobs are not really functional and are more aesthetic. While not practical, I admire the visual realism of the display. You can even see through the grate to the front side of the amp. It's like having the amp physically in the room with you!
The only issue I've had with the Ignite Emissary was the size of its display. I have to struggle to read some of the important information on the amp sim due to the small size of some of the text. This could simply be because the DAW (digital audio workstation) I'm using just does not allow me to adjust the size of the plugin's display. It could also just be something I haven't figured out how to adjust. Even though this amp appeals to the high gain metal player, the STL Tones website describes this as a versatile amp that can achieve anything from “pristine cleans” to “bone-crushing” high gain metal tones. If you haven't already, I encourage you to check out the video and hear the tones in action. In the video, I cycle through each preset and demonstrate what the plugins sound like in an original instrumental mini song I wrote.
