    I have the same head and leave it set to the edge of breakup and have several Amp-in-box pedals pretty much covering all the classics. I even have a Laney and an Orange. My PedalPalFX PAL800 Gold v.2 blows away what I heard to day for the perfect crunch and several others like the Soldano SLO pedal give as good or better high gain sounds. If I record or send out to a house system I use a little miracle device. It is called the SHURE SM57.
    Best of all my rig does not go out of date every few months. My rig is paid for while others are on a permanent pay-out plan they never escape.

    I thought the IRX looked amazing on paper and was definitely tempted. I prob commented this before but when i was shopping for a IR sim processor ultimately i settled on the BOSS GT1000core. It's been doing great so far. Easy to use. Updates are not needed. Chain set up can all be done on the device screen. Stage tested a few times and sounds fantastic direct to house. I especially like that I can set up my tone with hefty amounts of bass and mids (50B50M71T) and everything sounds crisp and distinct - not muddy

    Bro I bought an Origin and put a MXR over drive in front of it and paired it with some greenbacks and damn. Sounds killer, I would also like to say the tone I’m getting isn’t really what I go for however I’m liking it a lot and I fuck with it 🤙🏽

    Yo TD! In this video you mention the "hard skip" that was the Two Notes Revolt. I confess I haven't been gassing on that one, in spite of the fact my main rig is a Two Notes Le Lead and Le Clean in front of my Mooer 20w Tube Engine. (Got a Tonex for Xmas BTW) I really like the gain structure and clarity compared to almost every amp model on my Tonex, but then my amp building bestie comes in and says it sounds pedal-ish to his ear. He thought my Chopper Z sounded more amp like too. But even though the pedal is discontinued, I wouldn't mind seeing your opinion on the Le Lead if the opportunity ever came along. In my rig, it's thunder and chocolate.

    I love that loomis kelly man!! Id love to have 1!! I have the regular pedal version of it. It had no gain hardly and i was so mad. But if you take the back off the pedal theres a tiny gain knob in there. That sculpts the overall gain of the pedal. 😂 much better. 😂😂
    Also the nux amp academy is badass!

    I had one of these for about a week and just didn’t gel with it. I think it lost something without the IR and no external IR/cab sim could fix it for me.
    Also I really didn’t like the low gain channel. I wanted it cleaner than what it is. I wanted the clean sound from the Runt50 had.
    The UA lion though…man alive that pedal is KILLER.
    I love all the other features of the IRX though…I just couldn’t get the sounds I wanted.

      I think they have some pretty cool things planned for 2024, but I'm not 100% on what they are. I really like the stuff they put out, I think it's cool to have access to some of this stuff without having to drop $3k on an amp lol.

    This one isn’t the one for me. It’s got some super cool features, true tube preamp, midi switchable, multi channel, cab sims. On paper this is the shit! But I’m not a fan of the gain structure here. Overall tone is a bit muddy compared to what I like. I’m digging the idea here for sure.

    Hey Taylor. Last night I discovered a thing that I think NEEDS to be shared. It’s the absolute very best free amp sim suite I’ve ever tried. It’s called Tonocracy. It’s got several really solid amps and cabs. It’s got effects and WAIT FOR IT, it’s got a capture feature to profile amps! All for friggin free! I haven’t tried a capture yet but I’ve already replaced all my tones on 2 songs for both myself (metal) and a client (rock). It’s absolutely perfect! Taylor you’re going to want to cover this one bud. For serious!!!

    I think it sounds good in fairness but I think at the price point it’s a bit of a stretch considering other options for the money. I mean look at how far two notes audio have brought Opus / Genome for instance, or ToneX … I just think the price point is high relative to those … I get this has ” toooobs dude” but still … the capture / modelling has just come on so much now

    • @TaylorDanley
      @TaylorDanley  3 місяці тому +2

      If you're already mentioning modelers, then this probably isn't for you. Being a high voltage tube pedal, I think it's pretty good for the price. I did the two notes pedal a while back, and I prefer this much more. But se la vie!
