damn one of the best videos out there for this pedal, unlike most of them out there, it freaking shows you what the product can do instead of useless chatter
Yes I'm inclined to agree. They seem to make a blder first impression than the other brands, although over the last few years I've noticed that Nux is a great contender in this respect.
I got one off Gumtree a while ago and it's a handy size to fit in my soft guitar case. there is a problem with many of these multiple effects pedals and that's getting the volume of all the presets close enough to be able to stomp through them. otherwise they sound all over the place. once I have organised all the sounds where I want them and remember where they are I believe it will be more useable. It's not the top of the range multi pedal by Vox but it is the most portable.
I know very little about Vox multi effects until recently and I’m impressed with the overall preset tones out of this little beast, the clean tones sound really good and would defo work for my clean guitar tones and the driven tones sound decent, I might pick a used one up off ebay in the UK in the next few days for £50 I don’t think you’ve got much to lose at that price really. Thanks for you run through if all the tones.
@@gearfacts for this being a 5 yr old video it’s still making an impact on decisions and made mine today. Lol ordered one and can’t wait to try it on my vox ad100vt. My amp has tons of combos to mix up with but nothing like this stomplab. Thanks for the video!!
The clean sounds are blowing my mind! I'm a burly metal dude so I like a shit-load of distortion but this is very impressive! Especially for the price!
Hi Frankie, yeah I got the exact same impression when I tried it the first time. It out-performed all the big-boys like the Boss GT-10 and the big Digitechs, despite being so tiny and affordable. Imagine bring one to a gig ...the mocking laughter of the other musicians as you unpacked it ...then producing such quality sound! True, the distortions aren't good enough for playing serious metal, but the cleans and overdrives truly sparkle. Anyway, to answer your question about bluetooth headphones - nope, it'll only give you a standard socket. I forgive it! Thanks for the comment and for watching Gearfacts, bro.
A lot of the metal sounds, in my opinion, are shit. It's due to the base EQ settings. You really have to mess around and play with it to get any real sound you like. I did use tone number 48 as my go to tone for a while though
@Wayne: I am having some trouble setting custom sounds using the User option. Suppose I want some fixed gain level and effects level for a particular custom setting and some other levels for another setting, how do I do that without having to readjust the knobs everytime I change from one setting to the another? please help :-)
Nice demo once again. It's so great and informative that you are going through all these presets. I own a vox stomlab 2b (after watching a video of yours about pedals along with synthesizers) for my synths. I wonder how this pedal would sound on synths :) Maybe another video? Thank you and keep up the good work
Hey Gear Facts. First off all thanks for such a useful video. Secondly, I applaudthat you took time to reply to each and every question in the comments section, and also replied multiple people asking same thing too. Hope you can help me too. I'm an intermediate guitarists, been playing for 3-4 years. I mostly record YT videos from my bedroom, and jam with band members and want to play at small venues (indoors, not huge stadiums yet!). So I want to decide I'd i should 1) Buy meloaudio midi controller and nektar expression pedal and use them to controll the Biasfx2 vst in my daw? 2) Buy Boss ME-80 3) Buy this? 1) - help me the most, I believe, for YT videos, coz I don't think any effects processor can beatthr tones from the tone cloud and all the options my biasfx ultimate gives me. However, I'm not sure if carrying laptop would be cool for live gigs! 2) Will i be able to use Boss ME-80 as just midi controller, then I can take it for live gigs and also use it at home to control biasfx pedals. 3) VOX is so cheap. So I can't decide. What would you recommend? As of now I'm thinking I'll buy ME-80 and also record at home with ME-80, but i won't be able to use Biasfx2.
All good questions! for number 1 it's a bad start for me because I haven't used any of those products, so I can't advise :( For number 2, I'd say no, the ME-80 is big on features but mediocre on sound imho. Question 3, I'd say yes. It's embarrassingly small for live work, but it makes an ironically big, amazing sound that will silence anyone who mocks it. To respond to your comments in the second part: 1 Yes I'd agree it's uncool and a little bit risky to take a laptop to a gig. Laptops have been high-maintenance ever since people started using them for music, whereas a peda just turns on and goes. 2 Yes you can use the ME80 as a midi controller with no audio out happening. There might be cheaper options out there to do the same task though. 3 The vox is indeed cheap, the value is simply amazing. After reviewing over 1000 products the Stomplab 2G would be in the top 1% easily :)
Can i use this for home recording? I have a scarlett 2i2 and a laptop,headphones. can i just plug guitar to this,thento the scarlett sound card and through to record in my laptop? Very nice video about this product!!
Thanks for the much awaited video...im also using this gizmo and i love it, but still im facing trouble with an issue...tell me how to adjust the volume setting of each of the user patches that one can create, right now whats happening is that whenever i adjust volume for one , it seems to effect all of my custom built patches. Please help me out
Some really cool sounds, tossing up between this pedal, nux 1oomg and digitech elements, which do you think is the better sounding? Or would you recommend something else for 150 to 200 dollar range? Really like black face sound. Really dig your demos and tutorials
I think the Vox sounds great for the price. The MG-100 is 95% as good hear but it has the advantage of being much easier to use. The Digitechs are good too, but I find them too conservative with their sound ...tbh I can't really figure out what it is that's missing with the newer Digitech pedals, I just don't 'feel it' with them. But as I ALWAYS say: Buy the one that makes YOU smile :) #gearfacts
I'm setting up the Stomplab 2G for my son. I've read the manual but can't figure out how to assign volume to the pedal. What the manual says does not seem to work. Can anyone help?
Any ways to program a set to use the expression pedal for volume swells as in ambiant music? I wonder if we can also use a looper same time as headphones outpt. Thanks anyone!
I think some of the wah tones are cool compared to some other multi's thought the clean sounds were a bit digitally processed. Is Vox and Korg using the same tech? It sounds a lot like the korg pandora in some areas
Great demo, sounds like another aussie methinks. Got one of these puppies - realise it is what it is and my playing is root cause in most cases but I have an issue: When switching from one user-created program to another, the gain/volume jumps is massively high until the gain/vol knob is nudged slightly...then the original gain for the 2nd program kicks in. I have gone through all the volume/gain settings in 'Amp' and 'Globa'l to set them the same and ditto on the Hi/Lo vols as well but can't get a control of it. Have you experienced this?
redhotchilliprawn Firstly, Yep Gearfacts is an Australian channel. Share with your mates! Secondly, I have seen this problem a bit, I think you turn the left knob full clockwise and set the patch volume there don’t you? I don’t actually have in if these in the studio atm. I’ve done a video tutorial as well, maybe that would help?
I have trawled thru so many forums and every English speaking YT video - only the forums mention the problem but none suggest a fix. One forum spoke of compensating the 'Amp' category volume by adjusting the Global vol setting. Done all that so I'm overlooking something. Happens significantly if you switch between a clean user patch and a fixed Wah patch. Doesnt seemed to be the expression settings. Not expecting you to solve, just running out of other Stompers to compare notes. The gain (left/first) knob and vol (right/second) knob kind of work together to flatten ear hairs - the volume can be set as a default with compressor effect, and gain+vol can be set as default in Amp and Global . I confirmed this with a spreadsheet some US dude kindly put on the web (goo.gl/eQyzox) which details everything that can be set.
redhotchilliprawn Hmm ok... interesting. One would think that there’s an overall volume setting for each patch, rather than relying on amp volume etc. I get these units reasonably regularly so I’ll check this out next time I have one.
solved, the edit button doubles up as a value lock button - if you set it on (per user guide page 4, button 4 and printed under edit button, duh!) - this locks in your pre-saved volume settings when switching between programs - avoids picking up random current vol/gain knobs positions. So obvious but that manual was written by an asperger.
@@redhotchilliprawn Thanks for sharing this solution. I would suggest you also post it as a main post in addition to this reply, so it gets more views and helps others.
@@gearfacts oh yeah I agree or what I was trying to say in previous comment, I got it used for 60$ so I didn’t get any instructions so I’m kinda feeling my way around it but it’s pretty cool no complaints
Hi there - No, this demo was done just by plugging the headphone lead into a pair of studio monitors. So the sound you hear in the demo isn't changed by an amp, it's just the sound generated by the pedal itself. Glad you liked the demo :) Gearfacts
Great Video!! Question: Is there an AUX in? I like to run backing tracks from my phone/ipod into my current (but, old) emulator. How would I do that with this? Also, does this have a looper built in? If not, are there other models or brands that would have both AUX in and a looper? Thanks!
I believe it has a looping function, but no aux in, so you'd need a mixer or a a full range flat response powered speaker with a mini jack input. Most powered speakers have mix inputs these days. *EDIT After consulting the manual, there's no mention of a looping function, sorry.
Sadly no. If I have to make changes to individual effects in a song though, I just copy the same multi-effect patch to a sequence of locations, adding the individual effect I need (or removing it) over the series of patches. It's not an ideal solution but it works
@@gearfacts This is why 99% of your guitar related videos sound like complete arse. I hate to sound like a hater but you could do so much better with a little more understanding and a well mic'd amp/cab.
Ah yes, true. It's worth the extra to get the expression pedal - Just my opinion, but it does open a lot of doors. Either way though, the value for money is splendid
Great video! I was looking for a cheap decent sounding multi effects unit with wah to use when I host open mic. I have a helix and ME80 but wanted something small, cheap and versatile enough for an open mic. If someone wrecks it somehow, at least I'm not out ALOT of money. This piece will fit perfectly I think
@gearfacts: I am having some trouble setting custom sounds using the User option. Suppose I want some fixed gain level and effects level for a particular custom setting and some other levels for another setting, how do I do that without having to readjust the knobs everytime I change from one setting to the another? please help :-)
When you've got a god sound, save it. Then move to another patch, edit it until it's good, then save it as well. And repeat that process, patch after patch. You should end up with a wide selection of good patches.
sir i just want to know if the expression pedal is still can use if i add it into another pedal as wah pedal like wah in distortion?? or its already program in some specific effects?? thank you sir. because i love to add it on my pedal chain, the clean and delay effects are just amazing.
so essentially you could use this on a clean wah setting in a chain and it would sound better with other effects/gain live? also, does the volume knob act as a dry/wet amount knob or cut global volume?
Well it's not an exact science, but yes generally a chain of individual effects would sound better (using the Vox as a wah pedal only). It's a global volume knob, not dry/wet. Cheers /Gearfacts
Nanda HD a tube screamer is meant for overdriving your amps' tubes if im not mistaken, sounds great with a peavey i actually just got one. these two have totally different functions.
Can you use Bluetooth headphones with this processor or just standard headphone output? If not is there a multi effects unit out there that does transmit via Bluetooth? Great YT channel! Very informative!
I just remembered, the later models in the Korg Pandora series have a wireless headphone option. I doubt it's bluetooth, but if you need some kind of wireless then I suggest looking into it. Cheers :)
great vid but I think I'll be passing on this piece of gear.... im looking for something similar (small and something i can just sit on the couch and play through instead of firing up my rig) but I dont think this is it.
Hmm yeah I thin it's a bit too fiddly for that kind of use. Something like a Zoom G1on maybe? Just click that pedal and go through the patches. It's a nice way to guitar-chill :) Anyway glad the vid was helpful.
ok I figured out my headphone problem. I had a mono jack instead of a stereo. but now I have a question about the volume knob. if I have the volume on half way on a preset and I click to the next preset the volume jumps back on full. does that happen with yours.
I suggest also look at the Nux MG20 and Zoom G1XON. Don't be afraid of trying out older second hand pedals either, many of them are just as good :) #gearfacts
Tonelab st vs Stomplab which is better/ easier to use ? And hows the best way to plug either of these into my peavey bandit regards Craig (again) great vids bud
Both tricky to use. The Stomplab is probably a bit easier. The sound is similar but I think the Stomplab benefits slightly from more recent technology. My only complaint is that it's almost comically small, but hey it's the sound that matters. I'd plug it straight into the guitar input, personally. But if there's a "loop in" or "effects loop" plug you should try it. That should put your amp;s overdrive ahead of the effects processing which might sound good. Try every possible connection to see what's best :) Glynn
Gearfacts thanks Glynne your advice and knowledge bloody awesome cheers and keep up the good work oh what about the boss me 20 guy might sell his for 50 bucks how does this one compare to the stomplab ??? thanks agan Clarkey.
You can arrange the patches in groups of ten. So you set them up as you like them and save them in consecutive slots so you can change them in the right order. But yes, it's not the greatest pedal for live work. Gearfacts :)
I would recommend the G1on or G1Xon; it's a great all-rounder but also has some incredible ambient reverbs and the ability to stack / chain any of it's bank of around 100 effects, up to 5 at a time.
darrky Shanto Yeah it’s fine for 2018, I think it’s still in production. Age doesn’t have much effect on MFX units anyway, so don’t shy away from older models if they sound good to your ears. I can’t remember if it has a looper or not, you’ll have to google that one :) Gearfacts
Here's the fret positions: E string open, A string 7th fret, D string 6th fret, G string 7th fret, B string 8th fret. The thin E string will probably get muted by the grip of this tricky chord, but you could just leave it as an open E. It's a really useful one to know! :) #gearfacts
Yes the 2B is for bass. In this demo I am using a baritone guitar. I've done various videos about the 2B though, check out my other videos :) Gearfacts
I actually have the first version of this without the expression pedal and a tube screamer and I think that both go together pretty well if you play around with them for long enough
For nice classic tone: The Vox. For awesome fun and craziness with your guitar: The Zoom. And that's pretty much how the formula always works between those two brands. Cheers /Gearfacts
Probably the Nux. Sounds as good as the Vox but has more slots to save your own patches. The Mooer sounds the least good of the three in my opinion (just an opinion, not criticizing Mooer!)
No I agree with you. For the price and size it's incredible. What's hard for me to grasp is that Vox seems to have made all their older pedals obsolete with this small, toyish, cheapy pedal. Seems like bad business but hey, for once the consumer is the winner - so thank you Vox! Thanks for watching Gearfacts :)
Hi there! I have a ME-30 by boss. I was thinking on getting the stomplab IIG. Do you think It is worth it? Is there a noticeable difference between these two? The other option is to keep the me30 and buy only a distortion and keep using the delays, wah wah and etc from the me 30. Thanks in advance!
Hello CC, I think you'd notice a big difference in quality by upgrading to the Stomplab. It's well worth it. I've tried the distortion pedal/multi effects combination before, it never seems to work out all that well. The Stomplab in only a bit more expensive than a distortion pedal anyway, and of course you can then sell the ME-30 :) GF
JopMans yes, but they all include some kind of overdrive and/or distortion. You can easily set it up so that your user patches are just delay and reverb. Thanks for watching Gearfacts!
I downloaded it before I got it today. So they use a MXR Red compressor... the vox amps have names. It also has Hendrix fuzz face. I only played preset 90 but sounded cool, probably will play that again.
This is by far one of the best pedal demonstrations I’ve ever seen. Very thorough and no BS. Thank you!
Wow, thanks!

Nobody does presets like VOX. I've been a loyal patron ever since I discovered them (many years ago) !❤️
Yes I'm inclined to agree. They seem to make a blder first impression than the other brands, although over the last few years I've noticed that Nux is a great contender in this respect.

@@m0j0b0ne thanks!
Have any of you tried assigning volume to the expression pedal on the Stomplab iiG? I haven't had any success doing this and the manual is unclear.

Wow an amazing demo..... Can i use the effects like a an individual pedals
Sadly no. If I have to make changes to individual effects in a song though, I just copy the same multi-effect patch to a sequence of locations, adding the individual effect I need (or removing it) over the series of patches. It's not an ideal solution but it works
In this video, do you have it plugged in the clean channel of your amp or in the return off your amp's effects loop?
Straight into a studio monitor :) #gearfacts
@@gearfacts This is why 99% of your guitar related videos sound like complete arse. I hate to sound like a hater but you could do so much better with a little more understanding and a well mic'd amp/cab.
@@yngwiej.malmsteen5170 You're a loyal fan to endure it :) #gearfacts
@@yngwiej.malmsteen5170 We want to hear how it sounds direct. Isn't that the purpose of this unit, to emulate a mic'd amp/cab?
Holy ....I’m gonna order this ASAP!
Nice to get some GOOD feedback on this video for a change - have fun man!
Unless that was sarcasm... I get a lot of that too :)
No I’m serious, but the 70$ one has no pedal just the box
Ah yes, true. It's worth the extra to get the expression pedal - Just my opinion, but it does open a lot of doors. Either way though, the value for money is splendid
Gearfacts yeah I wanted the one with the pedal but!, I went ahead and just got the box, I can’t wait to get it :) 🤘
Great video! I was looking for a cheap decent sounding multi effects unit with wah to use when I host open mic. I have a helix and ME80 but wanted something small, cheap and versatile enough for an open mic. If someone wrecks it somehow, at least I'm not out ALOT of money. This piece will fit perfectly I think
Yep I'd I'd agree with that 100%
Can I use this without an amp? Like just purely with a guitar and decent pair of headphones?
Yep :) Gearfacts
quality of sound is nice no nasty overtones
Thanks for watching my vid :)
@gearfacts: I am having some trouble setting custom sounds using the User option. Suppose I want some fixed gain level and effects level for a particular custom setting and some other levels for another setting, how do I do that without having to readjust the knobs everytime I change from one setting to the another? please help :-)
When you've got a god sound, save it. Then move to another patch, edit it until it's good, then save it as well. And repeat that process, patch after patch. You should end up with a wide selection of good patches.
All the sounds are alike sounding to me just slightly different variations of the same sound is what i hear.
I think they came out around 2010 when Behringer was still looking for a field of expertise.
Great demo!
Thank you :)
sir i just want to know if the expression pedal is still can use if i add it into another pedal as wah pedal like wah in distortion?? or its already program in some specific effects?? thank you sir. because i love to add it on my pedal chain, the clean and delay effects are just amazing.
Hi, yes this pedal can work as a wah pedal within a chain. Thanks for watching Gearfacts!
thank you
Great demo!
I Want to ask a question, whether this is better than Digitech RP 360?
I had a GNX3000 cost me like $400 or so. What a piece of garbage. Do what you like, but I will get the vox.
The RP360 is more versatile, but tone quality is about the same. So the Vox gives better value imho
the main thing is to have the pedal engaged …. variability ability is what we want
Yep, it has great dynamics. I would have liked a connection for an external, larger controller but that's ok :)
once i edit & have my settings - does it then come up automatically ...or do i have to seek out my saved settings?
I believe they save automatically
so essentially you could use this on a clean wah setting in a chain and it would sound better with other effects/gain live? also, does the volume knob act as a dry/wet amount knob or cut global volume?
Well it's not an exact science, but yes generally a chain of individual effects would sound better (using the Vox as a wah pedal only). It's a global volume knob, not dry/wet. Cheers /Gearfacts
Gearfacts do you think i should buy a tube screamer or this which one is the most worth it??
Nanda HD Buy the Vox
Nanda HD a tube screamer is meant for overdriving your amps' tubes if im not mistaken, sounds great with a peavey i actually just got one. these two have totally different functions.
Enchiridion Jr. i wanted to buy these but i was thinking are individual effect pedal is much more worth it than an multi effect like this
Instead of me 20 i got my hands on a boss DS 2 excellent nick 45 bucks now ive gotta go buy a stomplab second hand or new ??
Can you use Bluetooth headphones with this processor or just standard headphone output? If not is there a multi effects unit out there that does transmit via Bluetooth? Great YT channel! Very informative!
I just remembered, the later models in the Korg Pandora series have a wireless headphone option. I doubt it's bluetooth, but if you need some kind of wireless then I suggest looking into it. Cheers :)
great vid but I think I'll be passing on this piece of gear.... im looking for something similar (small and something i can just sit on the couch and play through instead of firing up my rig) but I dont think this is it.
Hmm yeah I thin it's a bit too fiddly for that kind of use. Something like a Zoom G1on maybe? Just click that pedal and go through the patches. It's a nice way to guitar-chill :) Anyway glad the vid was helpful.
Ok Karen 🤣
I plugged my head phones in this and I'm only getting sound from one side of my head phones. why is it like that.? please help
Eagle Scout shouldn't happen. Sounds like a bad electrical contact. Either the socket is faulty or the headphones, I think :(
ok I figured out my headphone problem. I had a mono jack instead of a stereo. but now I have a question about the volume knob. if I have the volume on half way on a preset and I click to the next preset the volume jumps back on full. does that happen with yours.
Does this pedal have reverb and delay?
Yep 👍
Should i buy this or the zoom g1x next ?Which one is good? the zoom is available much cheaper than this one...
Depends on the price difference I think. If the zoom is half price or less, I’d choose it over the box I think (it’s one of zooms better ones)
Can you suggest which more good multi effect like this one? I see this is very good product but may have some other choice?
I suggest also look at the Nux MG20 and Zoom G1XON. Don't be afraid of trying out older second hand pedals either, many of them are just as good :) #gearfacts
Tonelab st vs Stomplab which is better/ easier to use ? And hows the best way to plug either of these into my peavey bandit regards Craig (again) great vids bud
Both tricky to use. The Stomplab is probably a bit easier. The sound is similar but I think the Stomplab benefits slightly from more recent technology. My only complaint is that it's almost comically small, but hey it's the sound that matters. I'd plug it straight into the guitar input, personally. But if there's a "loop in" or "effects loop" plug you should try it. That should put your amp;s overdrive ahead of the effects processing which might sound good. Try every possible connection to see what's best :) Glynn
Gearfacts thanks Glynne your advice and knowledge bloody awesome cheers and keep up the good work oh what about the boss me 20 guy might sell his for 50 bucks how does this one compare to the stomplab ??? thanks agan Clarkey.
What about noise gate? I have a cheap Stratocaster...Is this pedal good for it?
The Noise gate is acceptably good
How to save and reset settings?
How to set up the foot volume ???? It is not working.... when tone changing the next tone had big volume than earlier...??? Cry cry
Is there anyway i can connect this to my pc and record ?
You'd need an audio interface to do that.
Hi fellows! Can you tell me if this have stereo fx?
Yes, it has some stereo delay, panning and chorus I believe. Thanks for watching my videos :)
me 20 vs stomplab thoughts as i can maybe pick up one for 50 bucks ? regards clarkey
The ME20 is one of the worst pedals I've used!
Gearfacts thanks thats sorted then ,just bought a boss ds2 for 45 bucks brand new damn there
Hey OMG I LOVE THAT OCTAVER 49!!!!
Me too! Tough as nails right!
Can I arrange the presets in order? I fear that I'm gonna have a hard time playing with this on a live setup.
You can arrange the patches in groups of ten. So you set them up as you like them and save them in consecutive slots so you can change them in the right order. But yes, it's not the greatest pedal for live work. Gearfacts :)
is it any good for ambient sounds and worship music?
Not really. It's all centralized around OD/crunch type sounds. Thanks for watching Gearfacts!
Which pedal would be best / great for worship?
I would recommend the G1on or G1Xon; it's a great all-rounder but also has some incredible ambient reverbs and the ability to stack / chain any of it's bank of around 100 effects, up to 5 at a time.
Can you control pitch shift and wah with the pedal?
Yes you sure can :) #gearfacts
I want this. cheap and seems highly efficient.
we have the same and its pretty good on its price
Great demo! I wonder if this pedal has a looper :3
No looper on this one, SS :) Gearfacts
@@gearfacts thanks :3
*whispers G1XON*
@@TealTactics The Zoom G1XON does have more features, it just doesn’t sound quite as good. Great fun pedal though, not denying that :)
thanks buddy.
Confused which to buy VOX Stomplab 2g or zoom g1x four?
Personally I would buy the Stomplab. Sounds more authentic and costs a lot less :) Gearfacts
@@gearfacts thanks for replying 👍🙏
WILDEST #WAHWAH on the market!
Do it have expression pedal and volume pedal??two in one??
No, it's either volume, wah or expression. Thanks for watching Gearfacts!
Does it have a wah wah
Yep
does it have looper? I want to get one of those. Do you think It's still good enough now in 2018?? well, I am a beginner.
darrky Shanto Yeah it’s fine for 2018, I think it’s still in production. Age doesn’t have much effect on MFX units anyway, so don’t shy away from older models if they sound good to your ears. I can’t remember if it has a looper or not, you’ll have to google that one :) Gearfacts
thanks :)
excelent! and thanks since argentina!
"from", boludo ;-)
Glad you liked it :) Gearfacts
fueradeljuego JAJAJKA sos un grande
Thanks 🤘🔥
what chord do you play at 3:42?
Here's the fret positions: E string open, A string 7th fret, D string 6th fret, G string 7th fret, B string 8th fret. The thin E string will probably get muted by the grip of this tricky chord, but you could just leave it as an open E. It's a really useful one to know! :) #gearfacts
Isn't 2B intended for bass? I would think you would want to use the 2G for guitar.
Yes the 2B is for bass. In this demo I am using a baritone guitar. I've done various videos about the 2B though, check out my other videos :) Gearfacts
should i but this or tube screamer im going to buy this sunday pls respond quickly
Nanda HD frankly I think tube screamers are boring. I would definitely put my money into the Vox.
Gearfacts but is this thing really worth it rather than an individual effect pedal like tube screamer?
Personally, I think it is. You can always connect a dedicated distortion pedal to the Vox unit at a later time.
I actually have the first version of this without the expression pedal and a tube screamer and I think that both go together pretty well if you play around with them for long enough
should i get this or zoom g1xon
For nice classic tone: The Vox. For awesome fun and craziness with your guitar: The Zoom. And that's pretty much how the formula always works between those two brands. Cheers /Gearfacts
Can you go from a clean sound to a distorted sound ?
TheOrchids yes, definitely
Which one you recommend?? VOX Stomplab 2g or Zoom Gix4???
I preferred the Vox, personally.
just a simple question..can this do beatles tunes??
Yep. Vox amp sims - perfect :)
Only yellow submarine
Does it have a clean sound with delay. And also can it loop?
Yes and no respectively :)
@@gearfacts thanks👍
Made in Japan too, at least mine is. Very solid
Love Japanese gear. Love Japan generally :) GF
Nux Mg 100, Vox Stomplab 2g or Mooer Ge 100?
Probably the Nux. Sounds as good as the Vox but has more slots to save your own patches. The Mooer sounds the least good of the three in my opinion (just an opinion, not criticizing Mooer!)
@@gearfacts then I'm going to buy Nux ...... I'm Beginner... thank you for your help ❤️......is it overall great at this price range?
@@sumitmalakar2017 I think the value for money is amazing :)
Does it have wah?
Yep. New demo coming soon, stay tuned to Gearfacts :)
+Geatfacts would this work for bass guitars ?
Yes
i also have another question
is the pedal next to it a wah pedal? (sorry im new to guitars and bass )
Jamo Boy Gaming yes is can be used for Wah-Wah sounds, as well as other functions
also is this one much better or the zoom b3 Much better?
Jamo Boy Gaming The Vox sounds better but the Zoom has more creative possibilities. You can see my review if the B3 by searching "Gearfacts B3"
Wait what the hell? This is without any effects pedals whatsoever? Is it just digital?
Yep, you're hearing the Stomplab on its own. Gearfacts :)
Hi does it have a looper?
Nope :) gf
in mid 2018 this Stomplab sounds way more natural than other small multi-fx... Is it just me???
No I agree with you. For the price and size it's incredible. What's hard for me to grasp is that Vox seems to have made all their older pedals obsolete with this small, toyish, cheapy pedal. Seems like bad business but hey, for once the consumer is the winner - so thank you Vox! Thanks for watching Gearfacts :)
Hi there! I have a ME-30 by boss. I was thinking on getting the stomplab IIG. Do you think It is worth it? Is there a noticeable difference between these two? The other option is to keep the me30 and buy only a distortion and keep using the delays, wah wah and etc from the me 30.
Thanks in advance!
Hello CC, I think you'd notice a big difference in quality by upgrading to the Stomplab. It's well worth it. I've tried the distortion pedal/multi effects combination before, it never seems to work out all that well. The Stomplab in only a bit more expensive than a distortion pedal anyway, and of course you can then sell the ME-30 :) GF
@@gearfacts Thanks a Million for your input!
This or mooer ge 100?
I'd take the Vox over the GE100 Mooer personally
Does this have delay and reverb presets?
JopMans yes, but they all include some kind of overdrive and/or distortion. You can easily set it up so that your user patches are just delay and reverb. Thanks for watching Gearfacts!
Gearfacts Great, thanks for your reply and video :)
I would highly reccomend buying this but please learn to use it and it’s reference values (someone made a spreadsheet of the meanings of all values)
I downloaded it before I got it today. So they use a MXR Red compressor... the vox amps have names. It also has Hendrix fuzz face. I only played preset 90 but sounded cool, probably will play that again.
does it have a built in drum machine?
Nope
thanks for informing. I was going to buy it but for me looper and drums are important as well. SO i will go for zoom g1xon
Good choice, you'll like it!
Is there a Whammy on it?
Yes :) #gearfacts
@@gearfacts Thank you! I'm definitely buying it!
