AC Tone Pedal: The Best Affordable “Vox In A Box” Pedal?
Damn that's an ugly guitar
Rowin ODRIVE Il : LEF-302B Two working modes: Warm/Hot Warm: reproduce the classical electronic overdrive with plump, warm and sweet effect Hot: a more powerful “Crunch’’ Sound
Thanks for testing this. I remember being shocked by the difference when running my Scorpion loaded Peavey Triumph 60 into a Sheffield loaded cab
Peavey session 400, best amp yet for pedal steel.
Ghost notes,argh.
the thing iv found is the same as mp3s there's alot of people out there that don't know how to do it properly
Orange distortion sounds like the old jass chorus distortion. Terrible
Sounds great
Any harshness in person ? I tried GFS 10 years ago and found it was pretty wide spread amongst their p ups w the exception of the big magnet Tele neck.
I’ve never noticed it with any Alnico magnet pickups. Granted, any guitar I’ve put GFS pickups into started with some pretty harsh cheap pickups. So GFS is usually a step-up from any bottom-of-the-barrel pickups. Will I take dimarzio or SD’s out of a guitar to replace with GFS? No, but they can take a cheap guitar up to decent and perfectly useable.
Awesome
I have Texas Specials from Fender these sound similar, nice pickups.
Nice! I have a Fender Tex mex in the neck of one guitar I love the sound of, but from what I’m reading the Texas Specials sound very different from the Tex Mex. One of these days I’ll check out some Texas specials
B GIBSON
I too am one of the few weirdos that prefer the neck pickup for lead work. Thought I must be the only person ever! Lol
I like the neck pickup too for lead parts, when I want more twang from it I just play closer to the bridge.
Your super good bro
Did you notice two kind of different layers in the mode where the switch is up? Mine has a cleaner layer that gets dirtier with more gain and then it has this fuzzy almost fizzy layer that basically stays the same. I agree that it’s better with an amp that has some dirt.
Yes, there was definitely two signal paths going on. The gain knob kinda changed the level of the dirty signal, but not the amount of gain, if that makes sense lol.
@@Chucksguitargeekery It’s definitely an odd little pedal. But it’s fun.
The most important part of ANY rig is your ears and your fingers creating emotion.
Even if the original signal chain is better, no one will ever know if they only hear the emulation. Only guitar nerds care and they merely see you as competition. Nobody else cares. Facts
Word!
Yup..GENIUS>>>TONEX CAN MODEL SOLID STATE>>>>>Anyone else guess the FALLACY of this video!!!!
Probably your comment 😄
@@iursnitram Shows you dont understand...no one said they couldnt model solid state..They cant do the dynamics of tube amps.YOU CANNOT CAPTURE THE DYNAMICS OF A TUBE AMP>>>THAT IS WHAT CAPTURES AND SOLID STATE CANNOT DO!!!
@@timothymartin2137 yes they can, it's just electric signal, nothing magical or supernatural about it
I also use the Mooer pedals .I use the Radar on setting #27 and then a US Gold Preamp Pedal I keep on the blue channel running through the effects loop. Its really make your tone so much better also being in conjunction with an EQ pedal to take out any bad frequencies. I use the TONEX going to my amps return with other pedals and I have to say. Some captures people do sound like shit. But then you have thousands of others who are just nailing great captures and they sound just like the real amps. I've not used the Tonex by itself, but incorporated it into my rig is the way I use pretty much everything anyway, for the past 39 years. Its a great unit!
You want a logarithmic pot AKA an audio pot (A250k A500k) for the smooth volume sweep. Despite being called a linear pot (B250K B500k), the RATIO of resistance is logarithmic (in reverse) so it ends up sounding like an on\off switch. So a logarithmic pot actually corrects for that canceling it out being the inverse log to sound linear. Makes it confusing cause it sounds like you're getting the opposite lol
What would a noise gate do to this?
It is simply another Mooer pedal that like 31 other brands are re-branded. In all probability it is the Mooer Green Mile. I suspect the fiery or in the Mooers case the hot mode turns it into the Boss Tube Screamer, better known as a Boss SD-1 Overdrive. With a soldering iron and 15 minutes of your time the Boss can be turned into a Ibanez ts9.
I dunno, I’ve never gotten a tone like this out of a TS or SD pedal. Maybe it’s just defective? I do have a different iSet pedal on the way that I think is a rebranded green mile (current shrieker), but this storm is something different.
The shrieker is a tube screamer. Definitely not a repainted mooer, too cheap.
I might pick up a set of fleors I see on marketplace for $25 a pair, I think I might grab em, yours sound pretty good. Cool Flag shirt. I saw them at a festival in Montebello QC, they killed!!
Nice! Yeah, $25 is fair for used as long as they left enough wire on it. FLAG was one of my favorite shows ever. I am seeing Descendents and Circle Jerks in a few weeks, so I get to see Keith, Bill, and Stephen again at least 🤷♂️
@@Chucksguitargeekery Cool, have fun. Circle Jerks are doing 2 nights here with NOFX, who I never liked, and as much as I love the early CJ records, I haven’t liked the band since 84, while Chick Biscuits and Earl Liberty were still in the band. I don’t really think that Snake guy belonged with them, and as much as he’s an ok person and all, he just never fit in that band imho. But that’s just me, you enjoy the show and have fun. Those pickups are brand new still in the bag it appears, with all the wire needed to install em. I messaged the guy earlier, hopefully hear from him soon.
Hey chuck! Do the joyo brit have built in dis/overdrive
Temu is actually pretty solid lol
Great review. I have the Golden Horse and it's lush
What app are you using?
Katana Librarian. When you have the Airstep foot controlller, you can edit the katana from your phone, plus it adds a bunch of amp models.
@@Chucksguitargeekery I have Katana librarian too, but looks a little different haha, thanks bro
In 1977, Norlin, the parent company of Gibson filed a lawsuit against Elger (Ibanez USA) for replicating guitar headstocks in the “Open Book” format
i bought this pedal and still dont know how to get a metal sound out of this! xD , but thank you for this!
Honestly, 3rd party IR’s are probably your best bet. Look up Bogren’s IRs, they have metal designed IR’s, with several free sample options. Use the M-EFS app to load it in, IR’s make a big difference.
@@Chucksguitargeekeryhello! Itsme again.. you will not guess what the problem was… the problem was the TRS cables i was using.. the pedal only alows for TS cables 😂😂😢.. TRS cables weren’t a problem with digitech pedals 👌🫢🤭. Tnx alot!
Great video and awesome playing. I have an amp exactly like that but have had it stashed in my storage building ever since I got it while remodeling my house and building my garage which houses my studio. I CANNOT WAIT to get that rascal out and I hope it sounds even 90% as good as this demo! Thanks
MKII - это файтинг, а не катана.
what is the point of doing a paddle test when you already have fuzz on it when you start.. before you even engaged the pedal there's fuzz so what is the point of doing a paddle passed this test is stupid

What kind of looper are you using. Since the 50mk2 has no fx loop/send-return
This is why I use the headphone out and a seperate IR loader. But I have it going through the Digitech Trio+ for the backing track/looper. It’s a whole lotta fun, I really hope they come out with a newer version some time.
@@Chucksguitargeekery hi. Thanks. I have the trio+. Would be interesting to see how you connected all that equipment. Btw: this month xsonic will update the ulooper. Than you have fx loop with the mk50!
Interesting, the trio+ has pretty much negated any other looper for me, it’s more fun with a “full band.” But the way have it set up (took me a while to figure this out), is guitar going into the input-> effects loop send to the amp-> amp headphone out to the M-Vave IR Box -> effects return on the Trio+ -> headphone out to recording. This way I can “train” the trio+ with unaffected signal, different loops can have different tones, and the drums sound best on the headphone out. The tricky part is there is a “cab sim” on the headphone out you can’t turn off, but it really is just an EQ curve. The IR box has a good parametric EQ, so I boost around 5k, high pass around 6-7k, boost a little around 2k, cut around 500-700hz, and low pass around 100hz. That pretty much counteracts the trio+ “cab sim” and I can use any IR I want, and have the better drum sound.
@@Chucksguitargeekery sounds very complicated. I wait until the ulooper gets the katana update. Thabn i will try to combine it with the trio 👍
the multiple parametric EQs can turn the Katana into a Dumble, i can give you the specs.
Hi.. im curious if this item able to use as a little mixer, i want to combine 2 pickups from my double bass into one output.. And about A&B level.. is it for send level or return level? Thanks bro..
What’s the process for “capturing” an amp? Cab?
Great video! I have always wondered how they would compare... The mix of chords and single notes on your demo were very helpful.
That white guitar you have hanging on the right is probably the ugliest thing I've ever seen. It looks like a sperm stain. Good review.
Cool cigar box guitar and keep up the good work bro
Interesting video with zero scientific information. Too many variables using a person playing a stringed instrument and different cabinets. It only takes minutes to swap speakers. A better way to do this would be with a tone generator and recording at multiple levels and frequency. I go away with no new information. Sorry to sound like Data. lol But fun video.
Nice!
Noodle guitar!! Very neat! I've seen these occasionally and thought one might be cool to have.... or build perhaps!
Great video, thanks! For clean tones, I really like both. For dirty tones, I prefer the Sheffield. I may finally get around to getting a Bandit (I started playing when the Pacer was in production). Not sure why I've waited so long...
I’ve got their single coil hot rail and that thing rips !! I even bought the humbucker sized hot rail as well and stuck it in my Jackson dinky and for the price …. I have no complaints …
I really don't like flanger that much, but I want it just for the aesthetic of the enclosure. I read somewhere this is an Ibanez FL-9 copy.
Got a renown in '81 and it was high school heaven. Later paired it with a 412f cab cause of the ext cab jack looked and sounded great but heavy
Pair either of these with an sd1 and your in a Time Machine to 1987 my friend… sd1, ds1 and a rat are all on my board. I had both of these for so long and was ehhh about them till I got the sd1. The rat is on 90% of the time, it’s just magic when you get sd1. The ds1 is magic fully cranked with the sd1 for a lead tone and mwah a chefs kiss of 80’s lead tone. I won’t leave the house without all 3. Great demo!
great work. Very hard to tell the two apart. Technology is getting better and better. And a big thank you for using gear available to every one.
Peavey is a good amp if you get a goid one. They used to have spotty quality control. I think they are alot better now.
