    Man, I just know we grew up on the same music because a lot of your riffs on thursdays remind me of 2011 melodic metal like old Volumes/Elitist. Lots of pretty cleans with a fast catchy riff with the kicks matching to the chugs, with a hint of modern Plini-like solos. Love your stuff dude.

  • @stephenpertesis6738
    @stephenpertesis6738 5 годин тому

    here’s my take: it seems this unit, and the Tonex one and Tonex pedal have an instrument level output, which means, on all three pedals, you need to first run it into a DI box since not every mixer has a “hi-z” input. so no, it doesn’t seem that any of the three devices can go straight into a power amp. You need a preamp before the power amp so don’t think you’re going through a power amp into a cabinet. We need to get that straight. But, for the small factor petals, the idea is to go direct while carrying very little gear, but still having your absolute choice in amp channel Sound. of all three pedals, this one has the least ability to switch presets which means you absolutely still need boost pedals in front of it. This one clearly can only toggle between two on a live gig. The larger tonex pedal gives much more flexibility, and you can functionally have many more captures under your feet at a gig. the small Tonex one has a three channel mode so you can have three completely different captures under your feet at a gig. However, this is the only one between the three that actually has delay on board. I’m still going to use my tonex one instead though because it’s not that much more of a hassle, for the price of $175, just a stick my choice of delay after it and then go into a DI box. Smaller, I can switch three channels instead of just two, it’s no hassle to throw a delay pedal after it, you need to run all three units through a DI box anyway, none of the three units can go direct into a power amp anyway, Tonex One uses a simple/stndrd 9v power…all else being equal, the Tonex one is Still the winner in terms of price point, form-factor and functionality. and, the captures are actually more accurate anyway.

    • @yurifarias5305
      @yurifarias5305 9 годин тому +2

      TBH the intended costumers for this unit are for touring/live playing musicians. Using a DAW in a live performance can be dangerous because any software crash could totally mess up your performance
      Those units (Nano & Quad Cortex) consists of embedded systems developed with reliability in mind.
      TL;DR: Recording at home? You are fine with your DAW and amp sims. Playing live? You better go with a dedicated device that is made to be reliable.

    • @nickbroomhallmusic
      @nickbroomhallmusic  9 годин тому +8

      I think some people might be looking at this unit the wrong way. The way I use it is like a USB C powered interface that can run a limitless amount of guitar tones using captures from the Cortex Cloud as well as being a capture device itself. Not to mention you can even put it on your pedal board and gig with it. It's perfect for guitarists wanting to record at home or on the go.
      It's a freakin guitar guitar tone Pokedex that can fit in your pocket.

I don't understand is that just from making tons of songs every day for hours on end? Can you give me any advice on this?
