I don’t have this pedal anymore but as far as I know you could turn trails on and off.

Thx for the comment. I appreciate your feedback and will try harder.

Yeah. You’re totally right.

Hey Gerry. Thx for the comment. Hope you are well. So, believe it or not there is absolutely no string noise (bar one or two missed moments per video) in any of my videos. As soon as it’s recorded I go in to the audio and mute my vocal mic whenever I’m playing the guitar. The guitar is recorded direct so there’s no string noice of any kind. If you are hearing string noise on this it’s just inherent statiness!!

@@TheGuitarEffect it could well be just the bright single-coil sound indeed. In which case, ignore my comment🙃 Thanks for the videos, though... always great stuff.

Ah no I take any negative comment with an open mind. I’m fairly old… and as a result opinionated! So I’m not always receptive but that’s a fair comment. It is just the guitar though. Thx for the kind words. Appreciated

Hey. Thx for the comment. As I was reading this I was thinking “Oh god don’t get a bigsby if you’re a beginner, it’s a nightmare to restring!) but you didn’t so great move. Also kudos to you for wanting something left of centre. I think it’s so important that you feel your guitar extends your identity / personality. It’s a banger of a guitar. Great choice.

Oh my god that have that now????? Oh wait. I bet it plays blues for you. 🙄

Hey. Thx so much. Yes should absolutely work. In fact I think you can download these patches and load them into the stomp.

@@TheGuitarEffect thank you so much for the response! Liked and subscribed

Very welcome and thx!

Hey. Thx for the comment. This isn’t made anymore. But it would have been the vintera model about 10 /12 years ago so I’d say very similar. It’s an absolutely excellent guitar.

@TheGuitarEffect I tried a 60s vintera today at a guitar store and loved it so looking on the 2nd hand market and found your guitar locally. Just trying to work out the differences. Do you think they'd have the same pick ups? The vintera just says Vintage-Style Mid-'60s pickups. Is that what the classic series have? Are they alnico V?

I actually don’t know what the pickups in mine are called but they definitely have a 60s sound for sure.

I want to switching all channels on my katana head.. But if I buying midi controller with keyboard or pedal form factor, I'll spend to much money and the others feature would be useless for me

Hey. So unfortunately no you can’t. I really wish this had midi out too. It has the MIDI ports but can’t send MIDI PC messages. Neither can the NUX Cerberus, Trident or the Hotone ampero. It f you really want to get a multi effects that can send midi I’d recommend the BOSS MS3

@@TheGuitarEffect so the best multi effect(also affordable and reasonable price) with midi controller, to replacing the true footswitch from Boss for my Kat have to be come from the origin manufacturer (Boss product).. Am I correct?? Thanks for answering my curious questions.. Ohhh BTW I saw a midi in and out on the back from matribox 2, so the ports are usable for what function??

There’s nothing I know if that can do that new for under €350. But you could get a used line 6 pod HD, boss GT10, GT100. But honestly. If you could I’d spend the money on a BOSS MS3. That way you can plug in your own gain pedals if you want and control external pedals, the katana and have all the effects from the MS3 The midi in port is for controlling the Mateibox 2 with an external midi controller and the midi out port is for daisy chaining other midi devices.

@@TheGuitarEffect ahhhh I see know, so the midi ports in and out are useless for external device, thanks for ur explanation, I really considering matribox for the bedroom playing.. Maybe if I could buy it, I would choose 4 cables method 😂😂😂 And thank you for your suggestion about another boss product, I will think again maybe..

Thx for the comment t. It’s such an individual sounding pedal. I really love it.

Thx for the comment. Yeah it’s an absolutely brilliant pedal. I didn’t know Chris used one.

Hey. Thx for the comment. It’s the Mosky Amp Turbo.

Hey. Thx for the comment. Yeah the Lovepedal stuff is great. Doesn’t sound anything like TS to me which is really interesting. I really like it and I’m not the biggest fan of tube screamers.

@@TheGuitarEffect No problem you always give a good honest review and your videos are enjoyable to watch, Sorry for the nerdiness but I like to throw circuits together for fun plus it saves a fortune on G.A.S, So yeah if you search for the timmy and tube screamer schematics online they are very similar topology. The amp 11 seems to be identical to the timmy with the input impedance biased higher to 1M ohm more like your amps input impedance and the gain pot is half the value so a little less gain.

Ah! Interesting I had been using the Mosky Amp turbo and it sounds amazing. It had the boost separate. So the other amp 11 versions have the boost separate? I didn’t know that

@@TheGuitarEffect yeah that's correct. I think it's only the small box teal that has the restricted boost option. Could be useful in itself though to go from one extreme to the other easily.

Hey. I upgraded the pickups in the strat to bare knuckle 65 veneer board strat pickups and it changed it completely. It had fat 50 pickups in it. It really does sound great now.

@@TheGuitarEffect I'm going to have to look into those, that's a fantastic sounding Strat for sure. BKP aren't cheap, but they sure do make a nice pickup

So I went to the music store I buy stuff from and said I think I want 60s strat pickups as opposed to 50s and he happened to have these in stock. Did me a great deal. I would normally discount BKP as they’re above my paygrade! But in SOME circumstances you do get what you pay for!

Yeah I’ve heard that before alright.

@@TheGuitarEffect It has been confirmed on the DIY Pedal forums, it's not a rumour.

Ok. If you have an amp and play through an amp get an OD200. If you play at home through monitors or headphones get an IR200. The IR200 is an amp medeller so you can switch between and clean and dirty amp. That’s a way to get distortion. But it’s not a distortion pedal per Se. The IR200 has reverb on board but nothing like the versatility or options of an RV200.

@@TheGuitarEffect thanks!

Hey. Thx for the comment. No it’s not. It’s only ever one effect at a time.

@@TheGuitarEffect Thanks for the quick response 👍

Hey. Thx for the comment. To be honest I think that the amp academy sounded better straight out of the box but the IR200 sounds pretty good with some tweaking and as a gigging guitar player the functionality of yhe IR200 can’t be beaten.

@@TheGuitarEffect Thanks for the swift reply! I've struggled for over a year to be completely satisfied with the IR-200. I need something that needs less tweaking, and as I'm not gigging (when I start gigging with my band, it'll be with an amp, because here in Sweden the ampless craze hasn't hit as much yet haha), so I could try the Amp Academy and see how it works for me. I just need simple and great sounds for my recording, something that works great with pedals, especially overdrive, distortion and fuzz, which I don't use much, though. I'll try it and then decide which of the pedals I'll keep. I'll also watch your IR-200 review, I might learn something. And now I'll go and subscribe.

Go check my recent video in the two notes revolt. It can be very simple with the onboard XLR compensated out or very complicated for recording with the software included. It’s very very good.

And thx for the subscription! Been to a Stockholm once before in ‘14 to see Pearl Jam. Lovely city. Great people.

​@@TheGuitarEffect Will do! I've already watched the IR-200 video, but I'll have to rewatch it. But first the Two Notes video. Cheers!

Hey Philip. Thx for the kind words mate. Very much appreciated. I’ve had the channel for 3 years now. Pretty happy with where it’s at but finding the time with the family and bands is a challenge! So regarding the revolt. I reckon it’s a winner. The clean channel is a little sterile (as in it doesn’t really break up in a mega pleasing way) but I reckon in a wedding / function band setting it would be perfect. I don’t do that gig anymore so I’d prefer a little more personality on the clean channel but there are ways around that. Take a look at this. It’s my current HX effects board. I use it for gigging direct or through an amp or recently both at a festival where I went to an amp for onstage monitoring and the IR200 for front of house. ua-cam.com/video/movDPi03mMo/v-deo.htmlsi=raWZiNpLYJ3s8DDl

@@TheGuitarEffect yeah I’d imagine you could stick an EP boost or a KOT in front to give it a little hair. Have you tried it with any hotter pickups? Those bareknuckles in your strat would be pretty low output. But your demo sounds a lot less harsh and shrill than others I’ve watched. I’d never never fully make up my mind on a product based solely on demos. So many variables . But if a particular unit is getting very mixed reviews it does make it harder to make a decision to take a punt on something

Hey Philip. So yeah I’ve tried it with humbuckers. (Low output humbuckers though) and it’s still not really breaking up meaningfully. It does break up with the boost, but the boost has an EQ thing going on that works great on the dirty channels but it’s a bit odd in the clean channel. To be honest I think the clean channel is neutral so that you CAN style it with a pedal. Like, I reckon that’s the idea. If you ever want to borrow it you are welcome. Only thing is I use it for making demos so I couldn’t be without it for more than a few days and I think you’re in Sligo right. As it happens I’m going on holiday on Sunday so you can borrow it for the week if you can collect it and drop it back.

@@TheGuitarEffectYou're too kind. I'm based in Galway. I think it might be worth taking a punt on. And if I really didn't bond with it I could always send it back.

Actually I’m not sure where it’s produced. Fantastic guitar though.

Hey. Thx for the comment. Don’t think I’m aware of the juice box I’ll check it out.

Hey. The main knob controls the volume of the loop when you are in the Home Screen.

@@TheGuitarEffect Thank you so much for your time and videos

Hey. If you mean you want to out this on your board instead of using your amp and you normally run your delay pedal in the loop of your amp then yes. Put your delay in the loop of the IR200 and it will do the same thing. If you want to run the IR200 and your amp it’s a bit more complicated.

Hey. Yes absolutely. The only difference is you only have 3 presets. Not 6

Hey. Thx for the comment. I agree it has a lot to offer but it’s not readily on hand which I think is a blocker for it.

Thx. It’s a great guitar with its own thing going on.

Hey Jacob. Thx for the comment. I like you too. I mean I like your comment! 😬

Indeed he does. And if you don’t subscribe… he will have his vengeance in this life or the next.

@@TheGuitarEffect of course subscribe done even to the after life

Hey. Thx for the comment. I couldn’t agree more. There’s some great thinking and tasty choices being made by these brands. It’s great to have all these different sounds accessible for everyone.

Hey. Thx for the comment. Yeah I really like the chorus. It’s god a really great chewiness about it. I was looking at that pedalboard. Looks really great I’d have a lot of use for it.

Hey thx for the comment. Yeah the effects loop is a must have now a multi effects in my opinion. When you say no midi are you saying you think that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Midi is not a problem for me, because I don't use it, but it can be for other mucicians. The IR-2 has a stereo effects loop. The Nux Amp Academy is mono only. This is why I choose the IR-2

Hey thx for the comment. That comment is the reason I make UA-cam videos. In the hope that people find them useful. Means a lot thx.

That I did! I bump my headstock all the time!! I’m not precious about my guitars at all. They’re just tools!

Hey thx for the comment. Someone on here says that once a month!! Can’t see it myself! 🤷‍♂️

Hey. Thx for the question. No it doesn’t. The philosophy behind it is that it’s part of a pedalboard not a standard multi effect unit. I actually discuss this in the video

Hey Pedro. Thx for the comment. I’ll do that before the entire home rig section so. Will be two weeks

Hey. Thx for the comment. I don’t have mine anymore but I’d be almost certain that you can with CC control messages

@@TheGuitarEffect Thank you.

Hey. Thx for the comment. No. There are no drum patterns on it.

Hey. Thx for the very angry comment. I don’t understand electronics. I’m an artist, not an engineer. But I do understand the difference that I attribute to the difference between a tube preamp and say a solid state preamp or a digital preamp. And this feels like an analog tube preamp. I’m attributing that yo the use of the tube. So your saying they the tube doesn’t contribute to the tone and it’s a gimmick and two notes are lying to us?

Hey. Thx for the comment. So I can’t say that I had that experience. Like I said I’m not into the particular choice they made for the clean channel, thoygh I’m starting to get my head around it now. But I do really like the sound of the other two channels. I do t have enough experience with the soldano sound to say it’s on the money but in terms of what I would want both to do I really like them.

Thanks!

Thx for the kind words. These are fetching big money used here in Ireland. €750 / €800 which is great. It’s a wonderful guitar.

Hey thx for the comment. Really glad you found the video useful. That’s entirely why I make them!

Hey. Thx for the comment. If you want to do stop tuning or polyphonic chords then get the 5. If not the 4 sounds great.

Hey. Thx for the comment. Yeah you can. There’s 18 presets that can each be recalled via a MIDI PC command

Yeah I would think long and hard before parting with this kinda money for a guitar! So if you don’t gig your Gibson’s what do you gig instead?

@@TheGuitarEffect I gig mainly a Variax, but very rarely use the modelling. Essentially, it's kind of like a mid tier Yamaha Pacifica with a strat pickup config.

Yeah I know the guitar. I had a 700 for a few years back around when it first came out. It’s a great concept.

Are you saying this sounds like the boss HM2? Or f so cool! I’ve never played it so I can’t say anything about it!

@@TheGuitarEffect I'm sorry. I just listened to it, but it's not the same.

Hey. It’s the pitch shifter. I can’t remember exactly what it’s called but you select that Eddie t and then assign the expression pedal to go from no pitch shift to 1 octave down.

It’s not very straightforward. Took me a few mins to figure it out.

@@TheGuitarEffect Thanks for the reply, I have it sounding similar now 👍

Fair play!
