    This is great timing, I happened to record my very own review of the original matribox which will be out on Tuesday 😂😂😂 seems like the II had a bit more functionality which takes it to that next level

    Great review. I just placed an order. I’ll be using it with the Focusrite 4i4. I also have a pedal board so I figure the guitar from the pedalboard to the input on the Matribox II and the Left mono to the 4i4. The 4i4 is connected to my Macbook via it’s USB output. Thanks again for the review.

      Hey Bob. Thx for the comment I also run the 4i4. I’ve made another video where I demonstrate how to integrate the matribox 2 into a pedalboard. Might be useful.

    • @bobschumann9326
      @bobschumann9326 Рік тому

      I just checked out the Gig video and if I caught the setup correctly, you have the Matribox II output connected to your 4i4 via the balanced stereo outputs to inputs 3&4. Did I get that right? Thanks.

    • @TheGuitarEffect
      @TheGuitarEffect  Рік тому +1

      Actually it was to inputs one and two (just cause I have my amp and compressor in 3 and 4) but I did set the inputs to line on both.

    Hello, how are you? 😁I like this pedal board. I want to buy it. Do you recommend it? Which do you think are the best sounds and simulations and which are the worst or features that can be improved? Is nux mg 30 better? thank you🎸, 😎

    • @TheGuitarEffect
      @TheGuitarEffect  7 місяців тому +1

      Hey. Thx for the comment. I don’t really feel it does one amp sim better than any other. That are all really good. The effects are all useable but not at the standard of the HX effects for example. But useable nonetheless. The only feature it’s missing for me is MIDI PC out. Which I was surprised is not there. But it turns out it’s not present in any of the budget multi effect units on the market. I would say it’s pretty much on a par with the MG30. However the MG30 doesn’t have MIDI in or out.

      @@TheGuitarEffect Thank you very much for answering😎, according to the internet this pedalboard has more effects than the nux mg 30 but of lower quality, is that true? Which one is the acoustic simulation part better? thank you very much again😁😎🎸

    • @TheGuitarEffect
      @TheGuitarEffect  7 місяців тому +1

      Hey. I don’t use acoustic sims so I can’t answer that. I have just received the NUX trident which I think has more processing power than the MG30. I don’t necessarily think the effects sound clearly better than the matribox 2 but I’d still say neither can compete with the HX effects for effect quality

      Hey. Thx for the comment and the kind words. Much appreciated. I’m not certain of you can use the footswitch for tap tempo and the board with this on it is at my studio. But I’d say it’s 99% you can.

    I was hoping you’d give a little more insight on how you have your control switches setup.
    For instance, I was curious as to why you have white lights on them when selecting between patches. I poked around my own unit (that I just got) and I see that you can set them to switch between Patch A, Patch B, Patch C….instead of just + or -.

    • @TheGuitarEffect
      @TheGuitarEffect  8 місяців тому

      Hey. Thx for the comment. In the global menu there is a switches window where you can control what both the on board switches do and the external switch. It’s very straightforward to set up.
