      It’s great. I’ve been a Kemper user for the last eight years, and they only updated their software recently, so that it can be used as an audio interface. This pedal is a must have, together with a couple of effects pedals it will make the perfect, budget friendly backup. Love than Union Jack finish, on what I assume is a Jackson?

    There’s absolutely no reason for anyone not to be creative these days. Everything, including this pedal, acts as an audio interface, so ideas can e recorded at any level.

    Are you sure about FX loop trick? I mean if you take FX send signal to drive your amp does it cut out the signal at that spot? Meaning no signal to main out until signal is back to FX return, that's should be the purpose of FX loop kinda serial path not parallel?

    does this pedal have some kind of noise gate or suppression on the higher gain amps ? I never hear noise between stops on many demos like this one for this particular pedal on it's own .

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  13 днів тому

      Hi, hybrydsanity5857! Thanks for your message, hope you’re well. Yes, there is a noise suppressor just after the amp simulator in the signal chain. YMMV depending on the guitar you’re using and the gain settings for the Amp sim.
      Please contact us direct with other questions as you have them!

    Boss is sold out of this and the Katana Go. They didn’t expect the success. It’s annoying to have to wait a year before they can meet demand.

    i think anyone doing the silent stage thing would be spending a lot more money than this, not sure who this is aimed at, bit like the new tonex one, who is it aimed at? i'm only looking because i wouldn't mind a pedal amp instead of a tube head for gigs and practice, just easier to transport, but probably would still want a cab on stage, this doesn't allow that, the blackstar amped-1 does have a speaker out so that could be a better option for me.

    Most of these reviews fail to demo how it sounds through a traditional cab or an FRFR cab. Big difference between both.

    The MDP amp models that are included are the only case I know of someone trying to use the additional capabilities of digital to go beyond simply modeling analog amps. It’s crazy to me that this doesn’t get mentioned more.

      @@Gutch220 so it does, the connector is USB-C, although he said in the video to use a USB 2.0 cable, which normally means the old USB, but it can also infrequently mean a USB-C connector with that USB-C being slow like old USB. So fine, it has a good modern connector, but it uses old slow USB inside.

      @@zap7759 USB 3.0 reduces buffer latency. Bandwidth is not the concern. Older USB will have more delay. For recording it is less of a concern. For live playing, any latency reduces the expressionistic connection to the instrument and to the music.
