You know what man, I totally agree. I have considered many times making a video about the as you cal it “tone hype”. As far as I can see there is a massive glut of decent guitar bands with something to say out there now when you consider more people are playing guitar then ever. And there certainly is a lot of very “nice things” to spend your money on. Something just doesn’t sit right with me about the whole phenomenon

@@TheGuitarEffect Exactly. The so called ''golden age'' of gear doesn't seem to bring good music back into the mainstream. It's sad really, never before you could obtain ''the tone'' with as little money as today. Cheap guitars alone have never been better and cheaper, while expensive gear has never been this expensive. Strange.

Very true

Hey man. Good to hear from you, hope all is well. Yeah it’s such a personal thing. Whatever speaks to you, speaks to you. End of 🤷‍♂️

It’s a cracking pedal mate.

Hey thx for the comment. I get noise when I play. Unless I use a noise gate. So I kinda don’t look out for it to be honest. It’s just part of Rock and Roll for me. But I understand that it bothers some people. I can’t say I found this pedal Particularly noisy though.

Last year I bought the king of kings with my Xmas bonus, looks like this year I'm getting the queen of tone

Fair play to you fr buying a king of tone. I just couldn’t bring myself to spend that much money on a pedal. Did you buy it new or used?

@@TheGuitarEffect Cheers. Yes, Ive not heard (no pun intended) of any real complaints about noise, except when the gain of both pedals is maxed out....Not something I plan to do. Look forward to having a play with it later in the week. Cheers again for the review.

Hey. Thx for the comment. I actually sold this recently because I got an AC30!!! Which I did primarily because of this pedal. It’s excellent at what it does. I also use p90s a lot and yeah they sound great with this.

Why not?

Thx for the comment. Is that a political thing, a humanitarian thing or a perceived quality thing?

@@TheGuitarEffect All.

Fair enough. Each to their own.

@@tommieberggren3324 Wow

Twin pedals are totally the way forward!! I shall hit the hard liquor and lemons immediately!! Thx for the comment

I use addictive drums. I write all the music for my bands songs and I use addictive drums to program the drum parts. I actually have two videos way back in my channel about programming drums if you wanna go look.

@@TheGuitarEffect Thanks for the response - sounds so real. I'm gonna have to look into that as well. Cheers

No you can’t. This is a much older model from before the time of IRs! It’s effects only no amp or cab modelling.

Hey. If you just hit the little CC button you’ll get subtitles. Far more importantly I’m not Scottish though. Though I do have a lot of time for the Scots. Lovely people. Where are you from? Just wondering. Is English your first language?

ok I zoomed in real close and the part of Scotland you're from doesn't even appear to be attached to mainland England. it's hard to keep track of all those tiny bits and their distinctions. I’m from a state in the US called Arkansas. it is roughly twice the size of the republic of Ireland , but has a human population about 40% of the republic of Ireland. We have 10 times the population of Ireland in chickens though, so that balances things out. Apparently the dialects of English we both speak are not 100% mutually intelligible. Based on your video I've decided to give an epiphone casino coupe a try. Thank you for your review. I'll keep working on my English and practicing guitar.

Hey man. Thx for your response I just read my initial response there and realized that it could’ve been taken up as a bit salty. Was’nt meant be at all. Though I am surprised that an American would find my accent hard to understand. It’s very mild compared to some Irish accents. All the best from Kildare in Ireland.

Hey. Thx for the lovely comment. I just have some sort of Flu thing. I’ll live! It’s just been hanging around for over a week now. Which is unusual. I really appreciate your comment. Thx so much.

Cheers Rich. Glad you found the video useful

Hey. Absolutely great comments I particularly love the last line of it. That’s gas brightened a dull morning. Thankyou

Hey man. Thx for the comment. I don’t have my mateibox 2 anymore unfortunately. I sold it when I or the mateibox 2 pro. What sounds in particular are you after?

@@TheGuitarEffect the clean one. I love the versatility from the funky tone to how it changes when you added the other 2 extra effects.

Hey. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. So that’s actually fairly simple. Just pick your amp, add a boost and an overdrive in two separate modules and a trem and delay in two other modules. So when you have them selected and sounding how you want, go into the control section and assign a footswitch to the boost, drive and trem and then assign the dealy mix to the expression pedal

@@TheGuitarEffect thank you very much for your reply and kindness. I’ll try to replicate myself the settings. Last question 😀, do you remember if the effects order was the default one or you altered it? Cheers!!!

@ I think they are just empty blocks when you start right? Important to highlight here that I NEVER start with stick presets. I always start with a black preset and build my sounds. My effects chain is generally Pitch Filter Boost Drive Distortion Fuzz Boost Amp Modulation Delay Reverb Cab If it’s a dirty sound I’ll stick a noise gate in at the beginning or after the amp. Hope that helps

Hey thx for the comment. It’s a king time since I reviewed and this played this guitar. The thing that stands out to me in my memory was the finish. How it both looked and felt. But I still have my Orville and I reckon it improves every time I pick it up. I’ve never owned a Gibbo but I’ve played a lot and I have to say I’d always choose my Orville. Never played a second Orville so I don’t know if it’s an exceptional one but it really is. Special guitar.

@@TheGuitarEffect​​⁠Gibsons really are great guitars when you find one that is special. I have ordered some and sent them back. But of the 8 I have, 7 of them are great and 1 is very good, so overall I can’t complain. Gibson gets a lot of hate and I think a lot of it stems more from jealousy than anything else. There’s no denying that labor rates in the USA are higher than in China, so it stands to reason that Eastmans cost a lot less. It doesn’t make a Gibson overpriced necessarily, at least not their lower end models. But while I’m sure there are likely better options out there, Gibsons have a magical vibe about them when you find the right one and I think it’s similar to people who choose to drive an old sports car instead of a brand new one. It’s the history, the heritage, etc.

Hey Paul. Thx so much for your comment. Always makes me smile when people get something from one of my videos. Also, many people have made a similar comment about it being the best video on the pedal which is very intriguing

Hey. Thx for the comment. It really is an absolute banger of a pedal. When you say original is that the bigger white one?

@@TheGuitarEffectthe one your holding is the original I believe. You can do a google. The gear page has info on all the versions Sean had a few versions of this pedal. Hope that helps.

Hey Philip. Thx for the comment. I’m the exact same. It’s a fantastic nerve centre. Nothing out there like it.

Cheers. Honestly, you can’t go wrong.

Congrats. Fun times ahead!!

Hey Gretchen. Thx for the comment. Yeah it’s not straightforward. There’s an extra piece of gear involved called the gig rig remote loopy 2. It’s an input and two FX loops and an output. Each effect loop can be remotely bypassed with 1 TRS relay switch in. So I’m using one of the exp/amp control jacks to switch the loops on and off. Separate to that the double dreamer has the capacity to independently plug in both sides using a Y cable. So basically each side is running into one effects loop of the remote loopy 2 and the HX effects is selecting those loops. Does that make sense? Sorry, it’s hard to explain. The same principle would work with a NUX ace of tone for example, which has a remote switching jacks for each side.

Now I get it, thx!

Hey Joe. Thx for the comment. I just had a look at the Fractal. As a brand they’re out of my budget so I don’t keep up with them. So it has 4 footswitches as opposed to 8, no effects loops, no external switching jacks or expression inputs (from what I can see) and seems to retail at about €1700. Does it do amps as well as effects? What is it you prefer about it. Is it purely a fidelity / sound quality thing? Cheers.

Seems like it has a lot less ability to integrate with your favorite pedals than the HX unit. I’m sure it sounds awesome but it’s a lot more expensive and has less functionality. If you don’t need loops and four buttons are sufficient for your needs and you like the sounds better … sounds like a winner. Not for me though.

Hey thx for the comment. To be honest I think tone suck to the level where it’s a problem is a problem for tonal purists. I’m not a tonal purist I’m more of a songwriter. So I’m the wrong person to ask. I’ve never noticed problematic tone suck.

Hmm…. Bass player. No not ringing any bells. Where did you see us?

@@TheGuitarEffect just watching your post...two guitar players on screen....or maybe my eyes are going bad. 8D

@@TheGuitarEffect (4:00-ish)?

@@R3LI2UI actually that’s Baz our bassist. It’s a Musicman stingray

@@TheGuitarEffect What I thought. Thanks for your response & again, great post!

Hey. Thx for the comment. So firstly there are demos online that might help with he snapshots thing for sure. They’re pretty handy once you get your had round them. And very useful. But to be honest if you have pedals that you like and the to dancing thing isn’t a problem for you. Why change it? I think the HX effects comes into its own if you put your favorite pedals into the loops and use snapshots for combinations of the onboard effects and the pedals.

@ Hi Thanks for replying and for making the video. I thought I would be able to understand the L6Fx but it just confused me. I do need the ability to multi switch effects but never know how to get multi fx to work due to having to learn to programme them etc and because I have ADHD and it’s such things are apparently beyond me. Not uncommon lol and no fault of the devices, just me. Such a pain in the rear as it does hold me back. Also have been looking at the M Wave because it’s so cheap, seems easy and sounds good. Analogue guy in a digital/MIDI world….

Where are you based?

@@TheGuitarEffect I live in SW France.

If you tell me what you need. Depending on how many presets there are I could program on my HX effects and give you a link to download it for yours.

Hey. Thx for the comment. I must admit I’d really love a HX1 to try it out. But my problem is the price. It’s €300. WAY too expensive. It should be around €150 / €175 to make it worthwhile.

Thx for the comment. Yeah it’s a brilliant pedal!

Hey. Thx for the comment. Appreciate the kind words about the video. I try to be pragmatic with what I do. Interesting thoughts you have there.to be honest even with something as ethereal as an IR. Consumerism )which is just SO rampant among guitar stuff now) has a huge part to play in deciding what a “good” sounding IR is. Line 6 have a free pack of IRs called the Allure pack. They’ve been out forever. I use the 112 deluxe reverb IR from that for nearly everything I do. It just works and I know it. I found the IR200 To be the best combination of value and functionality I came across. I don’t have it anymore cause it’s more than I need. But I did find it to be the best one I tried. Now I just use the Mosky British. It’s simple, no screens, one sound and it sounds great. I add an IR after it. Job done.

I do actually get the pedal platform thing. It basically means a flat sounding amp that doesn’t break to early. That’s all.

Happy days!

Thx so much. Lovely comment. Glad you found tge video useful. And cheers for the kind words about the music. Appreciated. Enjoy the new toy!!!

Overall I agree. But to add to that. MIDI I’ve USB isn’t MIDI. If it requires an adapter for a MIDI cable it’s not MIDI

@@TheGuitarEffect yes indeed the workaround isn't easy to get MIDI from a foot switch into the Amo Academy, The only way for me to get this working was through an iPad hosting AUM and selecting in my case the Melo Audio Midi Commander MIDI entity known as TS midi as an input in AUM and the NUX GS-6 as the output in AUM. This required the iPad the Melo Audio Midi Commander , and Apple lighting to USB adapter $60 and a USB3 powered hub, not to mention the MacBook Pro wall adapter for power to the apple lighting to USB oh and a USB cable from the hub to the adapter , it's not easy and it's not cheap.

@ like, I very much commend your commitment. Impressive lengths to go to. But there’s no way that could be called a MIDI capable pedal. Or would you agree?

No. Not a noticeably problematic amount anyway.

Hey Thx for the comment. One thing to note if you don’t know this already. The Cerberus can only send a MIDI PC of the number preset that you select. Ie if you select preset 4 it’s sends PC4. You can’t change this. Which makes its MIDI functionality as a rig controller severely limited.

@@TheGuitarEffect Thanks for the reply. I think that might work out. I think most channel changes on the HK TM40D are PC. I’ve done a similar thing with my old POD HD500. Set up a patch in MIDI mode with effects only and push the channel button on the HK TM40D. Then press the MIDI Learn Button on the back of the HK TM40D Then press the button on the HD500 you want to use. It might be similar with the Cerberus. If it doesn’t then I’ll have a mini rig with the Laney Loudpedal & Cerberus together. Cheers

@ yeah I think your sorted. It’s the MIDI learn functionality in the HK will make it possible

Ah. I didn’t know that. It sounds great anyway. That’s kind of as far as my criteria go.

In all the f the demos of drive pedals I’ve made over the last 4 years the only one that has impressed me more than this is the Trex Mudhoney 2. And it’s a pretty different thing. This is an outstanding pedal.

The switch is a Mosky dual footswitch. I don’t know what switch comes with the MG30 but if it’s the NUX dual footswitch it will work yes

Thx for letting me know. I’ll endeavor to talk less. All the best.

@TheGuitarEffect ( I said at the beginning) there's a video from 4 years a go the title is (Joyo the American sound) I mean like that , intro starts with the subject ,no, Sir don't talk less talk in between, I mean do little bit of sound at the beginning and then little bit info and the rest exact like now.it's your channel you're the boss but in my opinion these days people or maybe people like me are under lots of stress and kind of.. anyway English is my third language and I wanna keep it short, thanks for the reply im gonna sub you back 😄 I forgot to unsub you, I understand that you talk fast cause you care I'm the same and I listened to all the stuff that you are talking and I really enjoy and learn, im 43 and I try to learn everyday, just please talk little bit about the subject of the video and in between switch to bigger perspective, thanks and sorry if I say something I didn't mean to... Keep up the good work ✌🏼

@@YorgMergyani hi Yorg. First off I want to say that you are the first person in 4 years taht has ever responded to my response to a negative comment. Which I think says a lot about you as a person. You are not trying to insult or be judgmental just offering your opinion. I get that now. It wasn’t clear from your first message. Fair play to you for clarifying. In regards to your point. Some people have shared the same sentiment. There are many reasons why I talk (sometimes at length) at the beginning of my vids. One is simply my follow of working. I’m in a band and have a high pressure job and a wife and kids. This channel comes after all those things so I have a pretty regimented way of producing the videos. You’ll notice in some videos that there is playing at the start. Sometimes I can afford that time and sometimes I can’t. As I’m not reliant on UA-cam for my income and it’s purely a creative endeavor for me I’m not under pressure for it to be successful. Whatever success comes is a benefit. My day job is in a commercial creative capacity where I have clients directing the work I make. So I really relish the creativity and autonomy I have here and in my band. Thus I kinda stick to my guns…. Sometimes to my own detriment.

Hey. Thx for the comment. Now that you mention it I don’t think I’ve ever had a need to scroll through presets as I’ve always used MDI but no I don’t think that’s possible without an external footswitch. There’s no long press or double tap functionality I’m aware of.

I’m not 100% on this but I’m fairly sure that you can’t. To be fair the trident has twice as many footswitches as the Cerberus so it’s not as necessary.

It’s just a Mosky Dual footswitch. They’re cheap as chips on Amazon.

Thx for the comment. I actually find both the distortion and overdrive are on the dark side overall. I have to run the tone very high. Sometimes actually fully on with a dark guitar. I agree they’re entirely fit for purpose but not perfect. The delay and mod are up there though in my opinion. Pretty good at what they do.

I don’t have mine anymore I’m afraid so I can’t help you there.

Not that I’m super aware of it’s really simple though. Say you want to have preset 3 on the helix recall preset 1 on the RC5 1. Open command centre on the helix preset 3. 2. In the lightning bolt commands select MIDI program change. 3. Make sure you know what midi channel the RC5 is set to be select that MIDI channel. 4. Ignore MIDI CC change 5. Select number 1 under midi program change. 6. Switch to a different preset on the helix and then switch back to preset 3 to check if it works. Let me know if it works

Thx mate. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thx. I will endeavor to dial up the neediness and patheticness.

Hey. Yeah they’re great. I kinda feel like they do their own thing a little bit. Mainly from a functionality POV. There are both great units.

Hey. Thx for the comment. Right now that’s my understanding too. Which I was surprised at. I haven’t had it long enough to delve into it but I will do and if I find out how to do it I’ll let you know.
