That overdrive preset sounds pretty cool. Love the pocket size of the modeler too. May not be the best, but there's something to be said for small pocketsize gear. 👍
No offense to you. I personally wouldn’t buy from temu. They’re plenty of articles questioning their business practices not to mention spyware, possible child slave labor ties etc.
@@joelchappelljr - overblown? It doesn't affect you right? Wait until our greedy politicians finish selling the US down the river and see how it affects you. China has patiently been preparing for the overthrow of the western culture for many decades and thanks to Biden they are closer than ever to accomplishing their goal. Go ahead - keep ignoring the tidal wave that is building just out of sight.
BTW, contrary to some other people's opinions, I really like the informal format and your first reactions to these things (and I love the way you throw the packaging around. I hope you don't expect Jess to clean up after you! 🤨). Very different and refreshing approach. Hater's gonna hate!
Great video, Steve! I've bought a few things from Temu before. It recently made a splash in my country (Mexico) and they've got fairly speedy shipping. I recently got a guitar stand, but a different model to yours. It's pretty good, and very portable. They're adding more guitar related stuff, some of which I've bought on other sites and are of pretty decent quality (the P&P guitar straps, for example). It's also a haven for useful everyday tools, just useful stuff of acceptable quality. I've a tool kit like the one you received, most things are pretty useful but I'd only caution using those "diamond coated" files on a fret board. I'd rather keep them for other kind of projects around the house! Also the fret crowning file works alright, but you gotta use a light touch or else you'll mark the fret wire (I use it when my Baroque 4-in-1 doesn't have the right size for the job).
That tool is called an ESP wrench. Yes, I am a sucker for tools... I have at least three of them. I put a bit of painters' tape on the underside of the cheap ones in case of sharp edges on the tool. I do own one of those Cubaby (whatever, same as yours) modelers and I've messed with it a bit, I also used my FF338, but I put P90s in mine. I keep both of them at my girlfriend's house, I used them to jam with her mom on piano a while back through a little Peavey practice amp (love the Peavey stuff). I'd love to see you do a walk through of that! I think I had to download the software, it didn't come with it. It sounds surprisingly good for what it is, definitely not going to replace my LT, though!
Don’t know how I can still be surprised, but that small multi-efx / amp modeler sounds better than reality should lawfully allow. I would have sold my dick to have been able to buy perfectly good gear for $20, $40 back in the mid 70s when I was a teen, but back then, gear was ridiculously expensive. There were no Squiers or Chibsons back then, plus gear wasn’t nearly as common as it is now. In my school, there were only 2 other ppl I knew of who played guitar. People used to get impressed if I played a G chord. They’d be all “How do you DO that??” , “ Wow, do that AGAIN”, etc Then, the concept of owning a Gibson guitar and a Marshall amp was strictly a fantasy.
Not to be negative or start trolling.. But I personally would have to research the company further Who’s making the stuff etc. It’s just so inexpensive. I’ll be paying attention though
@@SteveSterlacciyou should be vetting EVERY company that reaches out to you for a sponsorship. Especially if you have no personal experience with them. Not doing that is a way to quickly find your channel gone or serious backlash for promoting a scam. In this case, a two second search would show you the concerns surrounding this sponsor.

Chinese brands. Every country has their own brands. These are Chinese brands that are only based in China in pretty sure. They use temu to get world wide sales
@SteveSterlacci I bought a mooer preamp pedal a while ago. The 5153 one. It's pretty sweet. I boost it with a precision drive. Just got an frfr not too long ago, i go back and forth between, using a joyo zombies fx return and a cab i have, or the frfr I bought. All their preamp pedals come with a cab sim. Idk if they are matched with the amps they are copying, but good regardless. I don't really like cradle of filth. But they liked them so much that was their rig for their huge venus. And they used the mooer radars for a different cab sim. Kinda crazy a big band would do that.
I've been looking for a crazy cheap modeler as a failsafe for a gig. I had an Nux MG 300 but not happy with it for the price. for 35 bucks, i'm in for a try.
"Import stuff at affordable prices" is an incredible way to say "bootleg gear made with illegal child labor with stolen copyrighted and patented design schematics that rely on the Behringer business model to not instantly be sued into oblivion"
@@SteveSterlacci - Steve, how many sources would you like to see? Just type "TEMU data harvesting" into your browser. I stopped counting the number of articles questioning their business model. What they are doing with you is typical of their process. They are using the "oh look how inexpensive everything is" to build this communist Chinese business empire. They are taking advantage of this human weakness and I think you can see how many people in the music community don't think twice about it. I quit trying to alert people about this Chinese subversion but no one wants to hear it but you seem to be genuinely thoughtful of the possibility that our community is not paying close enough attention to this "cheap" oriented mentality. Since you asked, I thought I would give you a chance to gain some perspective on this company that is using you. Remember - you have a strong influence on people who aren't necessarily thinking about who they are supporting with their purchases. Sorry about the rant but I get the idea that you care and I enjoy and support your channel.
Probably so- Lots of places do, so I have a dedicated bank account for online purchases, and I transfer the money to it right before I buy, and keep very little money in the account.
Last Halloween, Temu was using young children in their advertising to promote pornographic Halloween costumes. These were reeeally obscene and these children were probably less than 10 years old. Not only will I never buy from Temu, I am unsubscribing from anyone, on any website including You Tube who promotes them.
@@SteveSterlacci If you saw the advertising that I saw from TEMU that came across my tablet , maybe you'd feel differently about it. You have the choice of whether or not you want to promote them and I have a choice too who I want to support. When I see kids being used in the way they did, I want everyone to know about it. I hope other decent people avoid Temu like the plague.

Just like Amazon and every other corporation

Shut up.
All sites do this ,not just temu. Even the games , have this . Very disturbing .

I never knew I needed a music stand until someone left their gear at my house til they came and got it again. They’re handy af.

I bought it under the Muslady brand a while ago. 3rd party IRs really make a big difference
Nice !
@steve Was the guitar unit going directly in with an internal speaker sim or IR, or was one added later in the signal chain?
All direct in on its own
I bought a few different versions of their Studio Foam to dampen sound, much cheaper than Wish.
Nice!
Not to be negative or start trolling..
But I personally would have to research the company further
Who’s making the stuff etc. It’s just so inexpensive. I’ll be paying attention though
I don't really have the time to do that. They reached out for a sponsorship, i see a lot of people use them and shop there, so I figured why not

The $35 modeler would be amazing for a bar gig with a front of house setup I'd assume. I wonder if it can deathcore and djent?
The high gain stuff honestly isn't bad

Don't worry about the paper steve , Jessica will clean it up for ya lol Happy Thanksgiving season guys
I wish...
That backpack is impressive. ❤🐕❤
Soft and hardcase Guitar cases from temu would be interesting...😂..cool video..new sub.👍🤟
Dang! I bought the same guitar stand from Amazon for twice the price a few years back! It still kinda sucks
I've been looking for a crazy cheap modeler as a failsafe for a gig. I had an Nux MG 300 but not happy with it for the price. for 35 bucks, i'm in for a try.
So, Steve, I got it. Definitely gonna sell the MG 300. This thing will definitely serve as a backup in case the helix goes down mid-gig.
Def may pick up that backpack
Interesting haul - Will have to check out Temu. Do they offer free shipping on any orders? I'll bet Christmas is a lot of fun at your house. 😁
Yes they do have free shipping. That's why the packaging is all plastic. No boxes like Amazon
Surprised to see the Guitto guitar stands. They make quality gear.
Sounds better than Kemper floor pedal
I don't buy temu- _anything_ ... I realize I'm just a drop in the ocean but I block every single ad of theirs...
Is Jessica singing in the background?
Yep lol
I like the guitar stand
Ive been using it and theyre actually great!
"Import stuff at affordable prices" is an incredible way to say "bootleg gear made with illegal child labor with stolen copyrighted and patented design schematics that rely on the Behringer business model to not instantly be sued into oblivion"
How did you know thats what I really said?!?!?!
At least all that garbage comes packed in its own trash bags to save you the trouble later.
👌
14 minutes before we get any information as to the modeler.. Jeez this guy can talk.
Thanks for watching and sticking through it
Is that your missus in the background Steve😂
Of course! Lol and the stomping is my dog with prosthetic legs
@SteveSterlacci no way. She sounds 👌 Show us your dog as well though. My missus is a great supporter of dogs with disabilitiy.
@paulmyfinger check out my latest gear on tour vid! You'll see her 😃
Nearly 2 minutes of telling us how to buy stuff on temu, then 13 minutes of unboxing junk....finally 3 mins of testing. NO THANKS
Thanks for paying attention and for this very insightful and useful comment

Be careful. Temu is addicting.
Sure is! Lol
Not only that. They have a very questionable business model.
Wirless mic audio is garbage. Sounds like a 20 year old Nokia phone.
Its quite brutal. No way to adjust gain either. Its SO hot that its nearly impossible to get a clean signal
