      Truth, but the MX5 really does sound fantastic- the high gain sounds are very 'alive' and responsive. I have mine directly in front of me and what Pete is showing here does actually exist within the processor (with a small bit of tweaking).

    That seems to be a pretty nice Modeler with a good feature set. Had it been available 8 months ago, I might have purchased it instead of the HX Stomp. Tonewise, the MX5 seems to be on par with better units in this price range and size. It's amazing what $400 can get you these days in a modern Modeler. Thanks

    I like how everything is so cliche’ (in a good way), you don’t have to guess what the preset is about (and that’s just by ear). Finally some bass presets worth using. Your plexi preset sounds great solo’d. The clean presets are beautiful. Sounds like you could make any sound you want with this.

    I’ve been using mine for about a year and loving it more. After tweaking the presets and building my virtual board I run my iPhone into the aux playing a bands mp3 to rehearse along with and it’s mind blowing. I assign the pedals I use most to the foot switch and keep the others off. Just touch them if needed. The only thing I’ve gotten better at is not fat foot the switches and inadvertently change a patch.

      Keep working with it. I was in your similar boat. See what you think of the Soldano "SL Crunch" and "SL Drive" and the Mesa "Treadplate" ("Vintage" and "Modern") models which delivery high gain, yet can still focus and breathe. I use them all for various flavors and guitar combos. I always come back to the stock 4x12 V20 cab preset -- and don't forget to play with "Amp Gain", "Breakup", and mic type and position settings in the cabs, as some hidden magic lurks there! I like "Amp Gain" at 18dB, "Off Axis", "Cond 87, "Breakup" at 90. Doesn't hurt to try! Happy tone-hunting!

    @26ruben1 2 роки тому

    Hey Pete, Love your channel and all your videos including this one .. here's my question ... which multi effects unit would you recommend for me. I have a band and we play all original (maybe one or two covers at the max) and it's pretty much in the alternative rock vein. I don't really do any home recording so I need the unit to work either in front or in the loop of my amp. I'm running a Victory V30 into a 2x12 cab loaded with Warehouse speakers. My main guitar is a custom T Style with one Seymour Duncan JB with a switch to split the coil. It's pretty straight ahead. I occasionally grab my 1992 PRS CE as well if I need more pickup options. Would love to hear your thoughts.
