@@viclopez2288 Miking a cab is the worst way to do a sound demo of it. All you hear is the speaker, and every close-miked speaker sounds pretty much the same.
Great playing, great sound, i understand after reading comments that it starts to break up when you set the volume higher than the middle. Do you get the a loud clean gig volume without distortion? cause i would use the 44 with a drive pedal, to have two channels clean and dirt, in case my main amp dies on the road. Thanks!
It gets pretty loud before it starts to break up, but I would say that at an average band volume level with a rock drummer you might be getting a slight amount of breakup. Not much though. Of course it depends on how loud your band plays. This thing gets pretty loud and after about half on the dial or so you're not really adding more volume, just breakup for the most part. IDK, it's been a couple years since I played it, so I can't recall it all perfectly, but my advice is to try it out, or grab one of the Mooer baby bombs, which is kind of a rip off of these & see if you like it. If not you can always get rid of it afterward. I did find it worked best with some kind of preamp in front of it though, as opposed to just regular overdrive pedals & whatnot. In this vid I was using a Mesa Boogie preamp, but there are tons of preamps in a pedal type things that might work well.
Not really, depending on how loud you play. It is definitely loud enough to play with a band, but it will start to break up a bit before half on the knob & from there it gets more compressed & more broken up. The breakup sounds great, but it doesn't stay completely clean if that's what you're looking for.
+Richard Poole I would definitely say it is loud enough. I used it for band practice a bunch and volume was never an issue. It does start to break up though as you get around 1/2 on the volume knob, so you'll want to consider how much clean headroom you need. The idea is that it is supposed to break up like an amp would. At that volume though, you're pretty loud. Plenty loud for a gig and louder than most sound guys will want to hear anyway.
it. is. ridiculously loud. I came here from a video comparing it to a 6505 at gigging volume (90DB at the mic). The 44 magnum hit 90DB with the dial on *3*
Entirely depends on the type of context. For hardcore or black metal it's somewhat ok, but an eager drummer easily can overpower that. I'm about to pick up a second one for more volume and also for some stereo experiments.
Finally an actual demo of the possibilities of that little beast in clean also... Thank you! (Nice playing btw.)
+Jonas Colombe Thank you for the kind words...glad you liked it.
Jonas Colombe Amazing sound quality, especially since the cab isn't mic'd up

Finally a good demo of this pedal. Thank you!
This is the best demo for this pedal. I'm gonna buy it hopefully it will sound ok with a TC novasystem. ThanKS
THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED! You've just convinced me to buy one because of your playing
Yeah! That whole BSSM album is sooooooo gooooooooood!!! Thanks for checking it out!
rockinfreakappotomus Np
thanks for the clean sound demo
I like the cleans. Good demo.
great!! clean sound.
That sounds rad bud!!!
Wow that is very nice!

Thanks really useful info!
good clean sound!!! But, you use only A ZINKY CAB and ehx 444 ? I don' t see a Mesa Boogie in the video
Michael M is out of shot but it's there. I'm using it as a preamp here, so the actual sound of that amp isn't heard here.
good headroom for play whit a band?

Would you say this is loud enough for gigging?
fab playing btw ✌
