      Thanks! There’s quite a lot rack effects going on. PCM70 is doing circular delays, SPX90 and Eventide Eclipse is doing micro pitch, TC D-Two is on 2290 preset and doing really wide delays. Reverbs are from PCM 91 and preset is called Deep Blue.

    Sounds fantastic! What monitoring/cab and recording did you use for this demo?

    • @rooperiihijarvi
      @rooperiihijarvi  2 місяці тому +2

      Two Notes Torpedo Live doing attenuation only, then signal goes to hx stomp which is doing IR. I used OwnHammer Bogner 412 impulse response (mic’d with 57 and Royer121). I use Hx Stomp for IR’s because there I can blend some DI signal with IR in 80s clean tones.

      @rooperiihijarvi cool, thanks! Do you use any cabs in your home studio? What would be best in a home studio environment? I'm building mine soon, that's why. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it :)

    • @rooperiihijarvi
      @rooperiihijarvi  2 місяці тому +1

      ​​⁠No, in my room there isn’t any possibilty use cabs, because heads are too loud, if I want to have right sound out of those. I recommend to get good set of monitors. If you want bang for buck, check Kali Audio In series and Focal Shape series out.

    Is there any difference between the SLO-30/100 premaps and the XR88IR preamps?

    • @rooperiihijarvi
      @rooperiihijarvi  2 місяці тому +2

      Of course they shares same nature, but they doesn’t sound exactly same. With X88 you have more options to choose and also channel’s modes are midi controllable.

    so why do use the Bad Moneky Overdrive. It doesn't have enough gain?

    • @rooperiihijarvi
      @rooperiihijarvi  Місяць тому

      X88-IR has tons of gain and more compared to the original. I just like boosted sound, where is two gain stages cascading. That's why Bad Monkey is in front of X88-IR.

      I have tested both and recorded few songs with the old Joonas Parkkonen's X88. Old one doesn't have that much gain as this re-issue has. I think this re-issue sound great and is very close to the original. 🔥

      I have Lee Ritenour’s original X88r, recording with it, and comparing with the X88ir, I disagree with your statement! But to each his own 😁
