    Except you are running a pretty long unbalanced connection, which degrades signal. Using a DI box with a balanced XLR would be the best route in your case Also, some High quality buffers would probably be necessary for a rig like that to run best

    Is there any way to this with all inputs on a mix? Is there any piece of gear that would let me and my band rehearse using our console and also send everything clean to an audio interface or backwards? Of course this piece of gear would have to go before your mixer or interface, but does anyone know anything about this?

      @elektro_hasch4439 i think you could make that work but everyone in the band would need a set up like I have in this video. Then everyone would have two outputs (one clean one live) and then you would just need a large interface/mixer with enough inputs so you could have everything on different tracks

    Just got the tutone ma and it does not function the way you show in your video & the way that Bob shows in the truetone video. What would cause the unit to not show any reading? I noticed in Bob's video he has his ma meter powered up & he plugs the output into a daisy chained rig & reads it. He plugs it into a pedal that's not even being powered & gets readings.

    • @smackofalltrades
      @smackofalltrades 8 місяців тому

      hi there, sorry to hear you're having trouble. it's certainly possible that you just happened to get a dysfunctional unit, and all you need to do is return it for a different one. However, its also possible you have the cables mixed up so lets double check: you should have a power source plugged from the wall into the mA meter's DC IN port (anything you use to power your pedals will work). Then use the small cord that came with the meter to connect the DC OUT of the mA meter to the pedal's power port. That should make the mA meter show a reading showing you the draw of the pedal. If you're doing that exactly right and getting no response, I would try returning it to where you bought it for a replacement

  • @hotchow8766

    I'm late to the conversation, but can you please tell me how much the guitar weighs? I have an injury that requires a lighter guitar but I like the design of the body as it seems fitting for a more classical posture. Thank you.

    • @smackofalltrades
      @smackofalltrades 8 місяців тому

      Hi there, the guitar weighs 7lbs. A lot of the weight is in the neck and headstock, so in a seated classical position it is extremely comfortable and balanced. However, for a standing position, I think you would really need to try it out. I have a bad back and it actually works very well for me as the position it puts my left arm in helps to keep my back relaxed. But, depending on your injury, I could see how it could potentially aggravate it. If you mostly play sitting though, I would say go for it!

      Getting a proper interface like a Presonus will actually probably fix any issues youre having with the plugins. The built in interface of the Spark amp is not very good. An interface like a Presonus or Focusrite Scarlett will translate your guitar into a nice clean signal for the Abasi plugin to work on.

    • @smackofalltrades
      @smackofalltrades 11 місяців тому

      Certainly! There's nothing special about the plug-ins i'm using here, they are just what I use on a regular basis. I do think PolychromeDSP has a slight edge over any other plug-in suite available right now, but I would still say it's in the same tier quality-wise as most of the mainstream plug-ins like NeuralDSP, Positive Grid/BIAS, Audio Assault Amps (like the Berry Amp) and Guitar Rig too. Obviously I haven't tried every single plug-in out there so there could definitely be more that belong in that group. I did try TH-U awhile back and personally didn't find it to be as good quality though. However any plug-ins you already have are worth experimenting with and combining to see if you can get a good sound you like.

    Easily the best value for money I've come across in the world of chorus pedals. Been gigging with it for 2 years and it's amazing. My favourite setting is the depth fully cranked and the rate just past 12 o' clock. Can't go wrong with ordering this one! Only issue I had was the screws (to put in the battery). They were WAY too tight so it took me some effort and multiple tools to take off the back plate.

      If you're using a microphone to record your amp, you should be able to replicate this setup with the Solo no problem. DI output would go into the 1/4 inch input on the interface (make sure its on Instrument mode) and then the microphone into the first slot. As long as you can separate the inputs onto their own tracks in your recording software you should be good to go!
