Michael’s Streamlined Signature Theta Delivers Decades of Stryper Tone — and Much More
The Theta MSX manages to pack a full catalog of Michael Sweet’s sought-after Stryper guitar tones, without modeling and with zero aliasing, into a svelte yet comprehensive floor unit. Crystalline cleans to hair-metal leads kissed with 32-bit stereo effects can be found inside this streamlined signature Theta. You get instant access to presets, functions, and FX via a single row of switches. The MSX’s onboard Vintage guitar preamp carefully mimics the sag and drive characteristics of Michael’s favorite amps; a carefully calibrated speaker-emulated output can deliver those tones straight into a PA for ampless performance. There are even a full-function precision tuner and ISP’s Decimator X noise reduction built right in, making the ISP Technologies Theta MSX your one-stop shop for performing to recording. Whether you’re a Stryper fan or just a guitarist seeking inspiring amplike tone from an all-in-one pedalboard, you can expect great results with the ISP Technologies Theta MSX Michael Sweet signature floor unit from Sweetwater.

Zero-alias Vintage preamp

Amp or PA?
Sweetwater guitarists appreciate that you can run the ISP Michael Sweet Theta MSX into an amp stack for the genuine stage experience, or direct out into a PA via the speaker-emulated True Speaker output for portable performance done right.
124dB of dynamic range
From input to output, the ISP Technologies Michael Sweet Theta MSX maintains 124dB of dynamic range. Every nuance of your playing comes through without degradation, from the softest swells to the nastiest pick scrapes and solos.
True Speaker cab emulation
ISP Technologies calls the Michael Sweet Theta MSX speaker-emulated technology True Speaker convolution, because you have practically as much control over your tone as if you were miking a real amplifier cab. It emulates vintage speaker models with amazing results, and you can alter the sound by repositioning the virtual microphone. Whether you’re looking to record silently without a live speaker cabinet or you want to reduce stage noise for gigs, the Theta MSX’s True Speaker makes a welcome addition to this latest Sweet signature.
