    One of you best ads yet! I was waiting for a video like this; I love the versatility of this pedal!

    This is great! Your product demos are entertaining, clear, and well made! Your videos are as tight as that killer guitar tone! All impact, no flub!

      Thanks! We spend 20 - 30 hours just writing the script, then another 10 - 15 hours of filming, then another 20 or so hours of editing per video. Even our tutorial series took a long time because we wanted to make sure it was fun to watch. We grew up on boring dry tutorials and didn't want our community to experience the same so we tried to make them as fun as possible. :)

      It's obvious you take pride to do nothing but greatness. It gives me the sense your products are just as great because the time went in to make them what you say their are! Also Misha Aprils > Billy Mays. Very clever parody! I wonder how many people will pick up on that. I hope everyone!

    This morning I took out my apex preamp of the closet, haven't used it in years. I ran it with GGD studio cab zilla and ohhhhh boy! I'll use it more often!
    thanks again horizon devices!

    hey Misha, why not showing how the Apex sounds through the effect loops of the amp?I would think that this would be the main way to use it no ?

    How does it sound straight into the interface, cab sim off, then using IR’s?

    • @Unchainedmaple888
      @Unchainedmaple888 6 років тому +3

      A Hundred times YES. Tbh all the demos so far showing how the preamp sounds direct into an audio interface have all sounded pretty bad...

    anyone else think the cab-sim sounds pretty terrible? both here and in the Ola demo.

    • @awertyuiop8711
      @awertyuiop8711 6 років тому

      Sid R. I suggest you try a Mooer Radar for the IR's, It's the best option if you can't use your pc or an effects processor.

    • @lukebogartmix
      @lukebogartmix 6 років тому

      Pedal is fantastic, but I agree, that cab-sim is horrid.

  • @andrewwhitmore8756
    @andrewwhitmore8756 5 років тому

    Could you use this with a Poweramp and cab as kind of a full rig? Full being a term used loosely here

  • @jenraider72
    @jenraider72 6 років тому +3

    This looks interesting... Horizon sent me an email with these videos because I bought the Precision Drive off their website. I'm glad they made a little instruction demo too, so I know it can work with my amp, through the front input. I just upgraded from practice and combo amps to a head/cab- Hughes & Kettner Grand Meister Deluxe 40.
    I've been able to use the Horizon Precision drive to color distortion with no issues, so maybe I should/will go with a Horizon preamp too. (the Precision was around $299, I believe?) I'll wait since they won't ship (or charge my debit card until it ships, I assume) until Dec/Jan.
    I have an ISP Theta distortion preamp already but I'm only now starting to use it with the new amp since I finally just figured out the right way to connect it in the chain. I'll use the time to see how much I like the Theta before deciding.

  • @eltole4766

    To use it with my pedalboard in front of the house where i put the Apex? at the beginning of the pedalboard or at the end after the delays?

  • @mutantbaby1672

    Is this supposed to be plugged into the front of the amp as this video says or the effects return?

  • @PasKuz3
    @PasKuz3 6 років тому

    If I wanted to use it as a cab sim to record directly into my focusrite and if I also wanted to use pedal effects (like reverb and delay) should I put them after the cab sim?

  • @zombie9516
    @zombie9516 5 років тому

    Is the Apex only for clean channel or can it be used on dirty channel? I tried using it on blue channel on my 5150 III, sounded horrible. Tried it on clean channel it was awesome. Apex on clean channel on a high gain amp, kind of makes me mad thinking about it.
    Does anyone know how get the best of both worlds?

  • @ayeapprove
    @ayeapprove 6 років тому

    or you can simply run it in the FX loop of your amp and just use the poweramp section. Which is how you'd use preamps normally. Of course you can stack these devices but I don't see the point of using 2 or more EQs in a row.

    @julianaraneta5416 3 роки тому

    Misha said it himself. Plug the apex straight into the INPUT and not the effects loop. This pedal is the opposite twin of the metalzone cuz the metalzone works best as a preamp and the apex works best as a dist. Pedal
