Did your anti dote on you when you were a young whipper snapper? Another great review. I have the UA ox box and several of their software plugins, and am very satisfied with all of them. I am not looking for an amp in a pedal, since I like my Blackstar, but I don’t have to carry it around. It just sits in my studio. Great playing by both of you. Thanks!!!
Excellent review as always, thank you. I have the Lion. Only used it once live because though the sound of the tone to me was 10/10, the feel was 0/10. It just didn't cut the mustard live. As I heard in your video even though you played it going through a valve (tube) amp something exciting was missing. The Lion for me, doesn't feel big enough, has no sustain at all, quite dead, after two minutes it feels boring and doesn't inspire me. I had to use a boost pedal into it which helped a bit but it still sounded boring. It was the worst I've ever played live and affected my performance. Don't think we will be asked back. Trying to tweak the pedal live was a mine field as can't get a mobile out to mess about with whilst trying to play the guitar. It was impossible on the fly to get both preset changed to how I required because the controls are shared and can't see where the dials were set when changing back from one preset without taking a photo or writing down or marking the pedal which you can't do in the middle of a song or in-between songs. I had no lead sound as the pedal by itself just couldn't do it, as I used a boost permanently on for the clean and crunch (both presets). It had the exact eq and drive that I had in my head but was lifeless. I haven't had that issue with other digital devices. Though so far all the ones I have tried (Helix,Tonex and UA Lion) feel like the action on my les Paul was too low and choking out on every fret. I experimented adjusting the action later at home and there is nothing wrong with it. Through my Tsl head, the action feels high but through the these devices feels too low'. I would like to know if anyone else feels this? The pros for this UA pedal are Compact 10/10 tone sound Not complicated Bluetooth Smartphone app Innovative and popular brand 3 year warranty Cons Lifeless No sustain Shared controls Not battery powered No PSU supplied No XLR out MyPC software (Windows 10) was too out of date to register the UA pedal but line 6 software installed OK and worked for the helix! ? Unknown chip (perhaps there is schematic that UA could provide to a repairer with the chip details if they were asked and was needed in 3 years time?) Hey @tonymckenzieofficial any chance you can review one of those new Marshall pedals anytime soon please? 🙏🙏And**t*ns demoed them and they seem great but they were playing them through a Marshall valve head so ... er .. They would sound like a great Marshall!
All that money and no pdf manual, at least it has a 3 year warranty which is just as well when they grind the numbers of the i/c's i hate that. Another one to wait until it goes on sale, i refuse to buy anything from Andertons Thanks for another in-depth review Tony. Hope you rae keeping well.😊👍💓
It was a bit surprising that Andertons price was up there. But that's what I bought so my own fault I guess. The IC deleted info I too did not really like to see. There is a manual but only (it seems) HTML online. Not a bad pedal though just a little pricey... Yes still here and Ha I trust the upcoming amp actually works! That's an interesting video for many reasons and watch for it. Thanks for watching too.
Thank you Tony 👍
Any time and thank YOU for watching... these take up a lot of time really.
Yup ! Same here Tony !
