    Sounds badass, Is this updated on the head rush Pedal board too? I should have this. I have the engls. I'm trying to build a good metal rig but I don't know about the boosts etc

  • @DeadlyFredXXX

    For some reason I got in my head that I needed a modeling pedal, despite having tons of VSTs and such. After lots of researching the various options I ended up with one of these and I'm actually really impressed. I was fully prepared to be disappointed comparing this to high end VST amp simulators but it actually sounds and feels really good to play. Not really big sold on the bass stuff (including the new DG preamp) but I could see it being a goto for guitar tones.
    Interested to see if post-release updates like this will keep coming or what. Realistically you've got most every hallmark sort of amp/pedal you could really want especially with adding the Engl but the HM-2 is a bit conspicuous by its absence for one thing. Suppose we will see!

    The new amp is okay.
    I still think the "RB" model is the best for high gain. Really shines with the York Audio DV77 Mix 10 IR (100HP, 12500LP). Also gotta dial out about 2db of 400hz.

    That crunch channel sounds very usable. The lead channel was quite harsh. The look at 1:50 kind sums up how I felt with it. I've been looking at the mid price modelers and I'm not anticipating playing out anytime soon so I think I'll just go with a new interface and a 7 string for what I would spend on the MX5. Are there any updates to existing models or just additions?

    It seems some of the other effects might have been, should I say, updated? By perception, they sound (more) killer now. As it seems as I and my other guitar player use Gigboard's as an effects pedal in scene mode for live use via four-cable with an EVH 5150iii and a 6505+ respectively. I've not had a chance for studio recordings since I use a QC for studio use only. I also own an Engl Powerball and in your vid, the Engl sim didn't sound too bad or far off of what I can get out of the real amp, could be the ML IR you are using.

    I think the IR you used does not compliment the tone of the unit. It's very boxy sounding, too much mids in the wrong place. 2:30 sounds particularly rough. (also presence at 90% and treble at 100%? ouch!) Way too much mids and high end. Idk man. The bass tone... is uh... not even really a tone I'd ever consider using for practice, or on a produced track. It's just low end, no mids, no highs, and a ton of distortion thrown on top.

    @vitalmakhdum 2 роки тому

    Not sure how useful the update is - since on any IR loadable multfx you just need a average/good amp going into a good IR then you're set for metal. Find any good IR online and put any distortion before it and you're all set.
    You should test out the sound without the IRs, see how headrush compares.

I could put another reverb and then I couldnt put in the last avaiable block a harmonizer, whammy for chords (still could put the one for solos) or a third reverb, everything else was avaiable.

Which pedalboard You recommend in more or less money? For several weeks I have been watching YT passionately, looking for and listening to the possibilities of the MX5 - amazing ... how with dynamics and transferring articulation to a digital signal? Can hear it as digital? 😉

      Greetings from a polish person in America!👍 I do recommend the mx5 cause it is probably the best modeler for under 600. The mx5 is around 500 dollars, which is a pretty good price for such a good modeler. I am thinking about either buying this or saving up for a new guitar 😂. It’s a pretty stupid comparison, like A modeler or guitar, but I am still thinking abt this. Anyways, the mx5 probably has the most features, especially that you can add even more tones from a pc. There is also a built in expression pedal, which is really useful. So, I think you should get this.
