That tuner is a god send. Thanks! I will have to post my 80's shred approved tones (think malmsteen, moore, macalpine) somewhere for all the kids to enjoy :)
when gain staging (stacking the gain: Attacker, Shredder, Riffer, Viber) which direction is the signal chain flow? Left to right? I know stacking an OD into Dist vs Dist into OD has different impact on the tone; what are your thoughts on being able to determine the gain staging "stacking" order? How would the order change the effect on the tone?
Blackstar Live Logic is popular, but please remember native midi will be coming to a future version of the plug-in. Other peeps including Thomas are using midi via a Daw currently.

i don't understand how this with latency works, i downloaded the demo version, used ASIO4ALL set the samples to 64 Samples ( 0.4ms ) and i still get hearable latency. Does everyone just play with that latency or am i doing something wrong ? I would love to buy the PolyChrome DSP but i am still better of with direct audio monitoring and my MXR pedal at the moment :(

EVERY time I see you with the Type-X I go on to their builder... one of these days. Another fantastic video, Thomas! The McRocklin Suite has been such a massive motivator for me; I've probably doubled my play time during the day ever since getting it. Keep doing what you do, my friend; you're an inspiration to so many of us!
Excellent tutorial. That ducking feature is so, so nice! An amazing feature. When those delay trails get in the way of your sound and you want to say f*** it, just duck it! 🤘
I’m very pleased with the update i can put it to 16 samples with 48000 hz with no pops and it sounds awesome. I’m glad with the tuner this pluggin is coming along nicely.
Man, I thought you were on to something genius when you misspoke “synthony”. But a Google search turned up that it’s already an Australian mashup of electronic dance music backed by a full blown symphony orchestra. Oh well…
Appreciate the tutorial dialing in tones, very helpful! Every time I use PolyChrome DSP I find something new/usable; Every time I use PolyChrome DSP, I'm impressed and amazed at how great it sounds. PolyChrome DSP is the plugin I've been waiting for. And it delivers.😎 Cheers!
I usually prefer my crunch/distorted/hi gain rhythm tones "dryer" for a solid foundation, which makes "wet" lead tones stand out more, sound more epic and majestic, and makes the juxtaposition more pronounced. For "wet" tones, I usually like to have some dry signal included as well, for the same reason (solid foundation). IMO.

Good times!! 🫡
God I love these videos!
We love you!
Can’t wait to check out the update, tonight. 🤘🏻
Enjoy!
Killer sounds! 🔥
👋🏻 Eb
Is that all from one plug-in ? No way, can’t be…nothing on the market sounds that good
Just #1 plug-in hehe 😎
🤘🏻 🌟 🤘
We need a preset call “Chicken Chucker”!
Haha indeed!
Great. Have you a more video with your playing ?
On the @mcrocklin channel - and later on this video : )

The chain is left to right, so even if you enable Viber first and Attacker second, the order would be Attacker -> Viber
Left to right.
That was cool, what is the name of that backing track?
Me and You by McRocklin & Hutch.
@@polychromedsp Thank you!!
What midi footswitch controllers are people recommending to go with this?

@@polychromedsp Hell yeah !! 🤘
Will this work in GarageBand, I hope so. Thank you 👍
Absolutely, yes!

Not using v1.1? 😁
It is 1.1, but with an internal version number ;)
sounds generic to me lols
Try taking your helmet off.
not surprising, as generic sounds are your specialty.
Thanks, Cpt Banality!
Please do more and more of these tutorials! They are very helpful for guys like me.
Will keep em coming! : ) join McRocklin on Twitch.TV/McRocklin he'll be doing some tone breakdowns there too.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 and yessss the Type-X is such a fun shape!
Now I want hardware (like a pedal board) to switch between presets. Hmm.
Great to get some more insight from you, your phrase "it just makes you wanna play" summorizes this plugin very well, thank you for making it :)
🙏🏻💜
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Brad! 💜
Ooh a bit of type X action!! Lovely
Yeah!! 🙌🏻
great video I bought your plug in two days ago just waiting for my volt 1 to show up in the mail🤪
Good times, thank you!
Enjoy the ride! Build up your tones as Thomas shows in this video, and prepare to spend hours exploring the factory presets!

THIS 100%
Nice update too.
Yessss!
i'm always learning something new with these new videos and that evh video was awesome. i want more like these!
You got it, thank you!

Honestly, the Default setting is a great lead tone!
So glad to have Thomas back on the guitar stage. Been a fan since Bad4Good.
TRULY MY ALL TIME FAVORITE GUITARIST OF ALL TIME..
I REPEATEDLY WATCH HIS VIDEO'S...
THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS VIDEO..
This guy has listened a lot to Steve Lukather ;)
What was that in the beginning

Can’t wait to get it once you implement MIDI! I run off my Mac for live usage and this would be perfect.
Absolutely!
How did you get that effect at the beginning?
That’s an auto panner in mono.
@@polychromedsp Thank you! Loving the program.

0:11 Tremolo ?
Kiesel Hipshot 👍🏻
Absolutely Killer sounds!
Hello Thomas, are the EQs (8-band + 4-band) stacked and can be used in tandem, or are they the same EQ just represented in two different ways?
It is one EQ with two different modes. The 4 band is parametric, while the 8 is graphic with fixed bands.
how about being able to stack the reverbs and delays? so we cold almost emulate the cloudburst.
No plans for this currently, but we're almost playing around with new features and routing options so you never know!
where can we get the backing track to jam too???
This is a McRocklin & Hutch Track. Please remind @mcrocklin on his Twitch.TV/McRocklin stream later, maybe he'll give it out as a bonus : )
