    Dear Bald Shredder thanks for this demo. I actually bought one of these pedals. I think it's great for the money and I would definitely use it on gigs, open jams, recording etc. Does not replace my fractal, but when you want to travel light and not have to worry about power cables, etc this is a great piece! Thank you for all your excellent videos!

    That was a nice breakdown on this modeler / multi-effects unit! I'm sure we would all love to see a follow up to this at some point, where you go over your favorite & custom presets, of course with an ALL NEW JAM just for this video! Or you could try it out on some future guitar reviews and see how it sounds in a mix compared to your trusty POD Farm presets...
    Also, I think you could get even better heavy distortion / rhythm sounds out of this thing if you put an overdrive pedal in front of it, since you always have one on according to your POD Farm breakdown video! Or alternatively, you could swap out some of the factory IR's to mess around with some new ones, namely those great free ones from Ola Englund, Resington, & The Other John Browne! I've heard their Impulse Responses sound great not just for Metal, but for Rock and clean tones as well!
    Anyways, keep on rocking Bald Shredder! \m/

    Unfortunately it's only in mono and has some background hiss (even with the noise gate on), which left me a bit underwhelmed with mine. I bought the Line 6 pod express though and have been very happy with it, even though it's a bit more expensive. I enjoy your videos!

    What I like most about this is the user accessibility and ease of controlling your own sound. The fact that you can change the pre-sets to whatever you want is brilliant and they're movable. Professional sounding pre-sets. This pedal seems to have the best pre-sets from a much more expensive unit - Fractal, which I can't afford, but because of this, I mi9mic the settings on the pre-sets to and board effects setup and blitz on to oblivion.

    If they put a power amp and pre-amp (even solid state) it would be rad

Were you happy with the effects sound wise or do you think it is just a very good entry level effects unit?

    Nice playing. This pedal reminds me of the Flyrig ones. But I prefer one with an expression pedal. I used an old Digitech multi effects and amp modeling pedal for years. Then I switched to Zoom. My latest is a Mooer GE150, great pedal with 55 amp sim's 26 cab sim's and 6 mic's to choose from. The mic's placement is also adjustable. But the most important thing for me is the expression pedal that can control volume, gain, modulation speeds, and Wah. You should check one out. 😁

  • @knmoves
    @knmoves 13 днів тому

    I have tried out many multi fx pedals over the years. But always go back to my 30 year old zoom 4040. It has two assignable pedals. One pedal is used for volume, I like making a solo sound like a violin. The second pedal controls how much I want to increase the assigned effect. I’ve programmed the sounds and only use four settings. 1 is clean, 2 is clean with echo, 3 is distortion and 4 Is distortion with echo. The pedal is so old, still go for £140 on eBay. So I bought a second one as back up.

    I ordered one after seeing a UA-cam video of the Studio Rats testing it out. I was really excited to try it once it arrived, but the sound quality wasn't there. I also had a problem running it through the power amp input jack on my amp - it had a strange level issue where if it was too much signal the volume decreased. It could've been a really cool handy thing to have, but for me at least, the sound quality was way lacking compared to the regular gain from my amp. Returned it the next day for an amazon credit.

From everything I see/read on this unit, better quality IRs really wake these up. I just got mine, and haven’t had a chance yet to load any 3rd party IRs yet. I agree that the stock IRs could definitely be improved upon.

    What happened to the Helix you won? Ever use it or did you sell it?

    it's to bad they have you do the double switch to Bank up and down, maybe just a long press on "D" for Down "A" for Up ? or even a switch output on both sides to add a switch.

    The cable management alone might be worth it for some.

    You may need to open the casing and check the battery pack to ensure it's not getting punctured by the pins from the switches. It's a recently discovered manufacturing defect. All the best.

    Wow.. for 80 bucks that thing is great. Tones are better than the helix before they revamped their cabinet system. I own the helix and the FM 9 for refrence. Plenty usable tones in this pedal!
