Every now and then I push mine into more fuzzy territory but for the most part I run mine at lower gain settings too. Often well below 11 o’clock

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 👍

A lot of times for me simplicity wins over endless options. I definitely appreciate the simplicity of the Zoom stuff.

This is such a gnarly pedal. Any time I sit down with a fuzz that isn’t just completely over the top I almost always lean towards some MO type stuff. Andy Hull is one of my favorite song writers both musically and lyrically. I know for the longest time he credited his tone to that red tele he’s plays all the time with the pickup wired straight to the output. No volume or tone wired at all.

​@@BMinusDemos Totally agree about Andy Hull. Yeah that makes sense. I've totally thought about trying to recreate that wiring, but with a Squier Classic Vibe Baritone.

@bw5260 same. I have an Eclipse with just a humbucker sized P90 in the bridge. I have it going to volume and then out but I’m always tempted to just bypass the volume altogether.

It really works for a lot of people. I ended up trading this to a friend of mine and to the best of my knowledge he’s really digging it. I’m not a bass player and so I don’t have a lot of specific tones I’m looking for, so it actually would’ve worked fine for me in bass as well. I could’ve found one sound and just never touched the software again lol

Who me?

took you more time to write this than to simply click ahead, He marked where the sounds are.

@NYCguitarist 🤣🤣🙌🙌

PD is a loser

I played one of the Super Block UKs a few years ago at a local shop. I liked it but it’s been quite a while since I played it. I don’t necessarily remember any specifics, rather, I remember thinking it was really cool. As a whole though, I am a huge fan of Quilter.

@@BMinusDemos thanks. The super block seems like an amp in a box but with an added versatility for playing into a cab as a 25w amp on it’s own. Definitely gives reason for consideration

@stevetrauger8037 Yes, exactly. All of Quilter’s stuff is incredibly flexible and also super well built and durable.

I haven’t had the chance to try it yet. But I want to. It does seem super straightforward. I used to have the Boss Katana and the amp models in the IR-2. I loved the Katana and the amp models it had.

@@BMinusDemosI'm interested to try the IR-2 in the efx loop of my HX Stomp. Some different amps and cabs choices; but also a way to take some load off the HX Stomp for super-effecty things.

Thanks! From everything I’ve heard the full sized pedal is easier to use. Much like an amp you have user facing controls as opposed to a bunch of alternate or hidden functions. From what I understand the bigger pedal doesn’t have stereo out. For something that size it just doesn’t make sense to me that it doesn’t have stereo outputs.

@@BMinusDemos yea i agree, for having so many functions not having stereo out is disappointing.

I think putting it on the face of the pedal would have been too messy. But I have seen builders put a label on the back of the pedal. That’s helpful. JHS’ distinguish marks aren’t super useful if you aren’t aware of the history of each version of the circuit. That’s why instead of individual models being compared it was more of an all of one pedal and all of the other kind of thing.

@@BMinusDemos It doesnt matter if someone knows the history of rats, people can still remember which ones they like by abbreviation alone on the JHS. Not a fan of Black Mass, if they didnt make their politics part of their design and brand I would not care, but they donate to causes that I believe are complete nonsense. Not a bad pedal, but I am not advertising those things on my board by association.

@masterofreality230 Sounds like someone spent their day walking around with a bad wipe. Try an unscented flushable wipe. It’ll clean that shit up real good and still protect your gentle sensibilities 👍

It definitely isn’t bad. I don’t like it. And it’s not for me. But it doesn’t suck. Well, the UI definitely sucks. But otherwise it’s fine.

@@BMinusDemos and the ui is most important for me, i am not a big fan ofadjusting my „amps“ with a mouse. Iam more of a touch screen guy in this regard. I dont get the feeling all is bad from your video but i have seen the points u make and know what i dont like. Iam on the fence and i think i should try it out to know if it fit my needs. But the dread of setting it up turns me down

Yes. That’s me. I hate everything 🤣

Yup.

If I played love and was looking for a real ampless rig solution I think I’d probably end up going either HX Stomp or Walrus ACS1. I prefer the ACS1 sounds, but the HX could cover my modulation, delay, reverb and even my tuner. So it’s always a balance. What works best for the given situation.

Where captures would make sense for me is if I played in a band and the only thing I needed was the album tones. Then this is actually a really good option. The minor adjustability would help you sleep a consistent sound from venue to venue without drastically changing your tone. But not everyone is in that scenario.

@@BMinusDemos I like the 'signature sounding tones' of lots of the usual suspects most times, but for me replicating such is a just downright cheesy in most instances, I'm more old school in that regard and any tone in my ears instead ought to be personalised to fit the player and their playing style as first cab off the ramp in all circumstances....particularly when live gigging.

@LIKEFUNK By signature tones do you mean the baked in presets? These are a straight miss on every single piece of gear I’ve used. It’s usually an AC/DC, a Clapton, GNR, Hendrix, etc. Rarely is it anything even remotely useable for me.

@@BMinusDemos I mean the presets themselves as standard from the factory eprom are not generic as a whole, they are toned as best they can only to lure the buyer into the game they are playing, they already know most of the market they are aiming at are not astute enough to sense the matter of achieving great standard default-building block tone, their entire market is aimed at suckering the unexperienced into going for 'idol' or idolatry wanna-be type examples is all.

I can’t speak to how it sounds through a cab. I know both the Micro Terror and Micro Dark sound pretty good through a 112 or a 212 cab. Never played either through a 412. Sounds fine through headphones. Guess it probably depends a lot on the headphones you’re using.

I haven't tried it with headphones, but I use it to power a 4x8 guitar cab and it sounds fantastic!

@@matthewtew4981 Thank you

You caught me. I was trying to hide it!

I knew I would get a couple people with those notes 🤣 I wish I’d had a ChvrchBvrner or Hail Satan to use.

Similar path though. I bailed in 2011.

The DD20 and the Walrus Audio ARP87 are my two favorite delays ever. I need to grab an Echo Moon one of these days.

Thanks 🤣

You’re welcome! I’ll probably have another one coming in the next few weeks as well so stay tuned!

I will, greetings

I agree with that. I think for me it just comes down to the fact that I don’t like captures. I prefer a decent model with more flexibility over and better sounding static capture. But like I said at the end, if you’re already a fan of capture technology then this is really cool.

It’s a shame to have something like this that’s so convenient for so many people and the thing holding it back is the user interface. For people who use any of the ToneX boxes I would love to see the UI fixed. But IK have always had terrible software. Even Amplitube sucked functionally.

That’s always my goal. I never want to trash something, but if it doesn’t work for me I want to talk about why and hopefully that helps others 👍

No. I got lucky and picked mine up in a trade. He was sold out on the Science website. I was close to doing the CME preorder though because I wanted one bad!

Same. I traded mine to a buddy for a ZVex Lofi Junkie and I have had way more fun with that than I ever did the ToneX lol

Not being able to edit the sound in the software after it’s already on the pedal was a gripe I had too. A couple of the demos I had watched made it seem like you could do that, so I spent forever one day trying to figure that out. I do think ToneNet is the saving grace for this ecosystem. Most of the captures I got sounded good. I’m just not into captures. And thanks! Glad you liked it.

Thank you!

‘Preciate that man!

Thanks a ton!!!

Agreed. Even when you record with something like this if you have even a little bit of experience with mixing then most people won’t know the difference when they hear it.

Agreed. I jumped on because of the price point thinking it would be an absolute steal for what you get. It just wasn’t for me. I have a new amp solution for next week’s video that I am super psyched about!

I really think some changes to the ToneX UI to make it more efficient could do wonders for this. And that’s totally possible because all they’d have to do is push out an update. And the captures do sound good. Some of them sound really really good. It just always felt a bit like a chore.

@@BMinusDemos This is the reason why brick that is UAFX Dream 65 and others sell well: no fiddling with apps and finding a good capture. It is as plug and play as it gets and gets you going as quickly as hooking up a couple of patch cables. However, the UA stuff is beyond inflexible.

@quiksilver78 Totally agree. I think that’s where something like the Walrus Audio ACS1 hits a nice sweet spot. It’s not infinitely flexible but it’s not as static as the UA stuff.

Why so if I may ask?

@@alfianbanjaransari4096 being able to load as many captures as you want, having a screen, being able to quickly and easily adjust parameters, etc. There's no difference in sound, but the Tonex one is just so much more difficult to use.

I love the Motel. A really unique take on this circuit and the comp switch pushes it into that more traditional Ratty territory.

100%! Inexpensive does not equal bad. And I’ve definitely had some expensive stuff that I just didn’t vide with.

I think he just has a Reverb shop.

The 1312 is incredible. And with it having a bunch of different clipping options you can really dial it in to fit perfectly in your rig.
