I think I prefer most of my drive pedals through the ACS1 to the Iridium.

@@kajstoras3523 can't argue with the wibble.

I quite like the Vox tones in the Iridium, but don't think I'd ever use any of the others as they are.

@@vackrakristaller thanks, really appreciate the feedback. 🙂

I'm kinda getting into that metallic phaser sound. Like Death by Audio's Disturbance

@@jeremiahbayani184 like the sound of that thing.

Cheers!

Thank you!

@DickieDemos you are welcome!

Honestly, I sold my D1 about five seconds after I got a Raster 2 (demo coming soon!) and my memory isn't clear enough to answer that with authority… but I *think* no, not really.

I hadn't tried… but I have now. So, as it is in the demo, the low-gain trimpot is at minimum and the high-gain is just a tiny 1/8 turn short of maximum. (Don't know if that's the factory setting, as I bought it second-hand.) It gets even more squelchy if you turn the high-gain pot up to full, but yes, also very noisy - so I put it back to how it was before. And I don't see any benefit to cranking up the low-gain side.

At the demo settings, it is not a hissy pedal.

@ thank you very much for doing the test, it confirms me my pedal doesn’t have any problem. 🙏 I have tried different settings, my conclusion is that high gain trimpot shouldn’t exceed 3h, and the pedal keep quiet.

@@DogPoool I think the Iridium gets on well with a lot of drive pedals. (The Walrus ACS1 does too.)

Through an amp, I definitely prefer amp mode. But I've never tried full-range mode for DI...

that's a good word for it!

@@cameronnelson1735 thank you!

Cheers Rob! It's a proper gem.

Well, at least it's two dirt pedals in one...

I hope I answered that in the video? And they're still selling them after 13 years, so...

@@Vikkk1978 I think I broadly agree with all of that, although I do like the Vox tones of the Walrus and Strymon in some ways.

@@LawGone1 thanks!

No longer have the pedal so I can't test this, but there is an FX loop, so I guess you could plug into a power amp from the send output. (There's also a cab bypass option.)

Well, that's just a question of setting the blend control to maximum... but to be honest, even at fairly small intervals it doesn't sound great. The latency becomes noticeable, and the higher notes have a bit of a nasty sizzle.

IIRC you press and hold the model knob to get the presets menu.

@@ThePolarBeer me too!

No, the Neo Vents are all digital - they use SHARC DSP.

@@alguitarchristie I sold my Vent not long after I bought this, but I might have to buy another for the fast sound. 🙄

@@DickieDemos 🤣

Fair point. But more people SHOULD use it!

Thank you!

Oh man, it's really hard to explain... have you got long fingers?! Starting position is a G sharp minor with the thumb playing the root (4th fret), ring finger and little finger on 6th fret, then the index finger on the 4th fret of the G string and middle finger on the 4th fret of the B string. This way you can leave the high E string open, and move the index finger down to the 3rd fret for the second chord. Does that make sense? The other chords are all that same basic shape with an open B string, sliding up and down the neck (B, E, F sharp, C sharp minor).

@@DickieDemos as soon as you mentioned thumb in the video I knew i should delete my comment! Really all i care about is the melody of the up and down sequence of chord sounds, so without all the fancy additions, what is the order of the straight chords. Thanks for the reply.

@@BobbyGeneric145 Haha, that might be even harder to explain! In the 'verse' part my index finger is shifting between B and B flat pretty much randomly, so that's really just two versions of one chord. Then it's B, E, F#, C#m and back to G#m, then B, F#m, A, Am.

@@DickieDemos ok ill give that a shot. Thanks!

No.

@@DerpRulesAll thank you!

@@DerpRulesAll I know, I know...

@@mlowack cheers! I do like the Vox crunch but, well, I do mostly stick to the cleans...

@@DickieDemos i am just going to get me a vox ac 10, for the real thing.

@@awienc thank you, good of you to comment!

The new Plus version has 25 effects instead of 12, but I don't see an autowah on the list. Not sure if you can install one from the Fender Tone app?

@@jensbomholt4529 thanks! It certainly is.

Thank you! But why does nobody compliment me on my ferocious shredding chops...?

That's not a bad idea - an optional stereo mode where it sends hi and lo to separate outputs instead of mixing them back together? Hmm…

@@DickieDemos what pedal out there is comparable that does have stereo?

​@@444levels9 ​You know what, I've just realised you CAN use this in stereo - simply by not using the returns. So you send the bottom half of the signal to one pedal, the top half to another, and then connect those pedals directly to two amps. (I'm not sure how much real-world value this has, to be honest, but it does work.)

I think the ACS1 in particular is great for some things... but I also have a collection of real amps and it's not getting any smaller.

@@darylshawnmusic thank you!

It is a bit, but not in a way that bothers me. I think it was less compressed before the big firmware update, actually.

@@DickieDemosdang ok good to know.

@@koenvanmeerbeek it is a bit cramped up there.

@@betticat82 interesting!
