Depending on your taste, you could get something really good from it. What I am unsure of, if you use it in the effects loop, I have a funny feeling you would get the best result doing that.

@@metalprognosis ah thanks for info tho. Im looking for a heavy distortion or metal distortion type since i use boss sd1and behringer overdrive distortion n im looking for a heavier distortion. Do u hv any recommendation for the cheap heavy distortion?

@@mohammadprayudi5411 have you thought about adding a boost pedal? That is how I get the extra edge to my distortion.

@@metalprognosis hmm not yet for now i currently use behringer od300 as main distortion and use SD1 as booster or Joyo Dyna comp if i want a volume booster without change much tone. I actually hv saphue ultimate drive but i rarely use it it just for a pop or some alternative songs that needed a high gain overdrive since they said ITS an OCD clone lol

The effect loop is a great approach, but a very sensitive one... If you send anything through the effects loop you are by passing all the volume and EQ on the amp... That is why it comes out so loud. If you are going to use distortion in the effects loop (which is a great idea!) you need to control the volume on the pedal first. Keep attacking your setup! The more you experiment, the more you will understand what works best from you with the equipment you have.

@@metalprognosis I’m worried if I lower the output too much on the distortion pedal or the 2nd pedal in the chain the eq, then it will not have the same sound the distortion pedal should have idk man so confusing and it’s real loud if I mess up hahah

@@enacku Start with one piece at a time... First dial in the distortion pedal, then after that add the EQ... That may help you identify how each equipment is talking to each other.

For it's price, its a huge pedal!

Yeah absolutely!

That can be arranged!

I'll have try the Meshuggah TC settings!

@@MrVesperatu I hope you get some good use out of yours. I've also try using it as a boost, and it shines a lot brighter!

That's awesome that you are getting use of the original IR's that come with the unit.

@@leehenderson8132 Which aspects of this pedal don't you like?

You need to be bias for your own tone :) Only you know what is best for your taste!

Such a huge sound from such a little setup! It's so simple there is apart of me that thinks it has no right to sound this good and big haha.

Thank you! I was confident as well it was going to sound good, but I was unsure of how good! And how much fun they are pairing together!

I'm going to have to muck around with it more. I think there is something pretty rad in this plugin. I just need to figure out how to dial it in. If it is a pitch shift, you are right, some melodies may have notes clashing...

There may of been moments of clipping while pushing this pedal too hard. It is a powerful preamp! And I'm going directly into my audio interface, which can be a bit of a fragile situation. But worth it, as this preamp can get some awesome results!

You are right, there are a fair few frequencies that did get lost throughout the different examples. I feel in these cases you would want to pick with resonates with you most and work around that, either altering the guitar tone, or mucking around with all the other instruments to see where you can make them all work together. It was a fun video to put together and I was really keen to hear how they would pair up against each other.

@@sayanghosh3643 that's a hard one for me to choice for you. What are you looking for with your guitaring? Are you looking to use it for live work, studio work, mixing it with other equipment?

​@@metalprognosisWell I record music at home, but also sometimes perform live on stage.

@@sayanghosh3643 on the cheaper end: harley benton dnafx unit, nux mg30 and the moore ge200 all support third party ir's. For recording in a home studio where noise is a concern, any of these three would do you wonders. From what I know about the boss gt1, it does have cab sims, but not as in-depth as the others.

@metalprognosis Thanks a lot for the information, and the knowledge 🙂😃. Hope you have a nice day ahead. Thanks.

@@sayanghosh3643 you too my friend.

@@BrianBower for the first hour I first used it at rehearsal, I thought I was bending time and space every time I looked down at it. Every since after that I swear by them! They feel amazing, specially with melody and soloing.

No need to apologize. I'm a tiny channel is extremely unknown. Thank you for checking it out. I haven't used the hexdrive, I've heard awesome about it and results from it. I had the grinder for a little bit from a friend, but personally couldn't tell the difference between that and the 33, so I kept the 33. The Gahennah is amazing! It's so powerful as a preamp. I love it, I still need to use it more to get better at using it. I have another video coming out soon using it.

Thank you heaps! I haven't done any sponsored videos, the closest I came to was a competition I was asked to join that had sponsored prizes. All my equipment is bought myself. Which is good because I'm not comfortable with trying to sell anything haha. I love making videos with sounds I'm trying to get, for tones I love that I feel is really lacking for resources and raw discussions. I agree with the blues over saturation, take nothing away from how good they are at what they do... But it doesn't tickle my heavy screaming itch for brutal tones on a budget.

Haha that is what my music heart always craves! Thank you for checking out the channel.

I haven't tried the headrush MX5, the only thing I really know about the difference between them is the price.

That was definitely my face during the filming of this video haha. I know I have gotten better results in the past with this unit, I'm keen to give it a shot again soon to see if I can get a better result.

That could be an interesting feature to home in on. I'm keen to give this unit another shot and see if I can get a better result, as I know I have in the past.

@@lolzplaysofficial6883 you need to have smaller size third party ir's. If you have large files it take a moment to load it in when switching patches. I feel into the same trap. If you have some smaller size files, it is seamless. I also saw they have a new model coming out, that might be worth you looking into as well.

@@metalprognosis oh, ok, thank you for sharing )

@@WApnj I enjoy sharing with everyone my first impressions, which can lead to moments of unsureness. Sometimes (most times) it leads to finding out amazing things, not with this little thing unfortunately. It was a fun quick video with hopefully some giggles on how this pedal thingy rolls. Thanks for taking the time to check it out.

Thank you, that sounds like a pretty rad trick. I feel like you could get the 33 type of grind with that type of mid push. Are you running an EQ pedal in your setup?

@@metalprognosis Yep. I am running a 7 band EQ into the effects loop of my Marshall JCM 900. I also have an ISET Booster and delay in the effects loop as well. The Booster also gives me a "boosting option as well. I might just use the booster for a lead boost and use the EQ to fatten up my sound.

Awesome. 7 band EQ sounds like it would be enough for what you are doing. I feel five bands sometimes just isn't enough... What cab are you using? Marshall JCM are really solid amps! They have a lot of gain on tap!

Thank you for taking the time to check out my video. I do recall been a little disappointed in the parallel setup compared to the serial setup in the effect loop. The disappointment was on my personal comfort how I like to run pedals and amps, nothing against anyone that enjoys and uses this amp (or any) differently. I did miss the amps specifics when I brought it, as I didn't know it was a thing until I tried. I'm learning as much as anyone else. Hence why I but a little message on all my videos stating this. I have also learn a heap from people helping me out in the comment sections and chatting to me directly. I'm very grateful for this community. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Hopefully if you see some of my later videos, you will see an improvement in how I approach and try things in the studio.

I didn't know that. I might need to do a back to back test to hear if they sound identical.

The best i can tell you is the different modes are claimed as follows: Classic distortion, Metal, High gain, Roit, Dist and Djent... If you are after that classic sound, have you tried the behringer hm300 or tc electronics eyemaster?

That's a bugger... Which country are you from? I was lucky they posted it from Germany to Australia.

You are right, it is more of a difference possible ways to use it. Zakk Wylde is an awesome guitarist, I wish he keep things more heavy than country these days. He is his own artist and can make what ever tunes he wants to. I really only use delay post (since I last played live), for solos or lead works. I made need to try delay in front of the amp.

@metalprognosis ua-cam.com/video/bAjgY79tv-Q/v-deo.htmlsi=FZIjumFOL_fG08-u . Helped me understand a lot of their tones. He's an awesome 80s style guitarist. The other thing it made me see was how big it made the guitar sound with far fewer mixing tricks.

Thank you, I'll check it out.

Is that the noise killer, or just how I eq the guitars? I personally always like to drop a lot of bottom end off with low tuned guitars.

Haha, there is a lot of truth to that haha. I love low tuning with a edgy and grinding sound with not much low end. And in videos like this, it shows.

That's awesome! I only ever used the POD 2.0 live for weird setup events, like a wedding where we could only go into the PA and couldn't mic up more than the vocals.

When I first brought my POD I couldn't get a foot pedal for it, I brought one second hand a few years after but it was for a later model that said it was compatible but it was not haha. If I had a choice between the POD 2.0 and a Kemper... I would go with the Kemper as well haha. I've yet to use one fully and explore with one myself, hopefully one day.

I remember thoughs, it that the vamp series?

@@metalprognosis mine says vamp just wondering is it the same but in a different color

They are made by different companies. But they are the same type of device. You should be able to do the same thing I have done in this video with your Vamp. If you do, let us know how it goes.

I did think it sounded good. If it's not your jam, that's 100% all okay! I still think this setup could use a bit of push with a boost pedal or a 33, that's if you are into the djenty push. Keep in mind, there was no post EQíng done on this video, to it is very raw. I wish I owned more cabs or speakers to pair them up against, that is where is biggest change of tone is!

I agree! The amp simulators in this unit are solid! and using it as a preamp is amazing! I may have to see what it sounds like with a boost pedal in front of it as well.

@metalprognosis look forward to that

I've added it to the list! Keep your eyes out for it in the next few weeks.

Good point. I need to muck around with NadIR a bit more to find that sweet hi low pass threshold.

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense, you are giving yourself a 10 band eq to be able to shape your amp by passing over the preamp stage.

Yeah, plus postage. Last postage I checked for heavy speakers from Europe was more than the speaker itself... We need more distributors down here!

@@metalprognosis we'll check if we can make them available through our AUS-retailer :)

@@danielringl8501 It's a need as much as a want! There are so many musicians in Australia that are priced out due to shipping...

I love the looks of the GupTech pedals. I haven't had the spare funds to pull the trigger on any of their stuff yet.

Thank you heaps for the info! I had fun with it, and keen to try them out more under different situations.

They pair up pretty rad together! I'm sure if I spent more time mucking around with the settings, we could get an even better result!

@@metalprognosis i want a gehena but don't sell the pedal in my country, i use the IR from a Nux Solid Studio to rec

I might give that a shot and see how they pair up! I love the Nux Solid Studio.

@@RohPerez hey bud! Where are you from? We ship worldwide with the exception of Russia!

Hopefully you give it a good shot now and again as well. It's a fun a classic little device.

I think we are all progressing into identifying ourselves with specific ir's these days for studio work.

Good IR's make a huge difference. What I'm finding lately with IR's are some clash depending on the EQ added to the IR's when they are made... Going back to the amp settings to work with the IR, I feel is becoming more standard practice as IR are getting fancier.

Are you thinking of the Marshall SC212 cab? Or a different one?

@metalprognosis stock standard 4x12. After some thought, look into what Orbit Culture is using, and what Volbeat used on some of their earlier albums. OC's tone doesn't always lend itself to single note clarity however.

@@metalprognosis One of my favorite videos of an old school setup with low tuning was Draven Noire's videos on using a JCM800, don't remember what cab he used, probably some Mesa cab... I think Ola Englund also got some great tones in his videos using a JCM800 as well, with a Marshall cab (not sure what model, possibly the matching JCM800 cabinet, but he swapped the original speakers for Greenbacks in one of his videos) I think he played a 7-string in Drop-A for a Rig of the Week a while back, although he mainly uses D standard and Drop C for his videos now.. (not low by modern standards but still sounds heavy!) \m/

That was a huge information hit, thank you for taking the time to spell it all out for me. Looks like there are still things I'm missing from it, which means more things I can learn and muck around with! I will have to look up to see how I can hook it up to the computer via midi, my version of the POD was before USB haha. I'll have to look into the SynthAssist third party one, I think I used the official editor about 15 years ago, and it was super clunky... I'd be surprised if Line6 did any updates for the POD... I feel like they have moved on to much better things in their line.

@@metalprognosis I am very glad to be of service my brother in Metal! I am pretty sure this device does have the USB-B square connection commonly found on printers. Regarding the editors, Leon Todd and Plague Scythe Studios both got them to work, but others have said you may need to follow certain steps in order to use them on modern computers. I believe SynthAssist charges around $30 US for his version - as he did spend a number of hours coding it from scratch. Line 6 used to be great in the support for old products in the early days, such as offering upgrade packs for the original POD 1.0 to 2.3 chip, or their original AxSys amp to Ax2 hardware and new face plate pack. I heard they were force to stop all that good stuff when Yamaha bought them out and imposed their own business model on them (that's when they started selling incomplete modelers with "upgrade packs" -Metal Shop anyone?)

@@metalprognosis POD 2.0's do have a USB-B square connection on the back, the kind commonly used on printers. You may need a USB cord suitable for audio connections or you might get artifacts or noise interference. I heard Line 6 had to stop offering support and upgrade kits for their older products when Yamaha bought them out, and instead they then started selling "expansion packs" for their now incomplete modelers (Metal Shop anyone?)

@@serpentsbane9166 My version does not have a USB... It only has midi and a network cable for the old foot-switch extension that had I think 4 buttons on it.
