These Iridium into Ox Stomp videos have been very helpful in making my decision. Now I also have an Ox stomp being fed from the Punch setting of the Iridium and definitely prefer it over the York Audio IRs on Iridium! Thanks.
@@natlove219 I’ve had the heritage audio 500 series and the 80s series. I loved all of them but the price of the AML for the same sound and functionality is a no brainer!
Interesting comparison video, thanks! I wonder if this is just EQ, or if there really are major differences in compression and dynamics, and if so, if those differences would be more like the hypothetical real cab selected in the OX Stomp. It's hard to find out what the baseline sound characteristic is of a rig that's not yours, and even with a real rig, you just have to put it into a different space or turn your head to make it sound different. I'm just trying to figure out if one should get an IR loader or something with dynamic modelling like the OX thing nowadays.
the problem is hitting the dangerous convertor twice.. once while recording and another mixing. It's too hot it my experience. I have dbox+ and Lt with apogee symphony and I get better results recording straight into apogee then using dangerous convertors for mixing, and if I do it the other way it seems too hot to me, like signal is pushed too much.. maybe I could turn the trim knobs down the first time, but idk. I like having all the different tracks to be able to manipulate separately too, then combine with symphony, but maybe just me
@@RPMusicStudios theres nothing OG about it. Its Original, Reissue and Pico. They are all very different effects. The proper original is analog, for one thing....
@@Michael-xp1fq it’s a sag fuzz with all sorts of weird things in the circuitry. It’s not supposed to sound like Boston. It’s meant for the Shoegaze genre
Hmmm.... i had the ME80 and gigged with it for years every week. I upgraded to the ME90 and love it even more. I gig with it every weekend. I play everything from Tom Petty to 80's hair Metal. This can do it all. I set up patches for my set list...pretty straightforward. Ill use Manual mode occasionally. Assign the CTL peddle to whatever you want in any patch, same with expression peddle. I dont play Stadiums, as im sure most of you dont. This does everything ive asked it to. I do have A Helix as well, but use this every weekend. I run through the PA. From beginner to Pro, this will do it. This is coming from a Gigging Musician with 10 years of experience just with the ME80 and ME90. I do run a Tube Screamer in front of it for a little extra versatility in OD and Boost
@@dgperforms1 I’m glad it works for you! It really depends on the genre. I do a lot of Shoegaze and doom rock mixture and there’s huge difference in the sonics I need compared to the music you’re describing. Don’t get me wrong. I’ll make whatever I have work. I played in the 90s through a solid state crate with no effects whatsoever. My first multi fix unit was the me-50 in the early 2000s. Happy gigging !
Hi. It is musical you just have to write a piece of music where the rainbow machine can be used. Like you can write an instrumental piece and use the rainbow machine as a sound effect for something. Like for instance if you put the pitch all the way down to the left and use fuzz it sounds like thunder clouds. So maybe write a song about thunder clouds and use the rainbow machine to make the sound effects. It has a lot of uses. You just have to experiment with it and find out what you can get it to sound like. It's a very fun pedal. So far I found out if you use a phaser pedal with it, the phaser makes it more enjoyable to listen to. Here's a sound sample of me using a phaser with it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MX_yeqp0NTc.htmlsi=sSujGZ2j_j28zUZQ
Hey, that's a cool comment! Judging from demos so far myself, just like Racoons Point, I always thought that the pedal wouldn't be as useful, as I thought it's just taking over harmony by itself in a lesser controllable way. But I gotta admit that's a bit lazy thinking, because now at second thought, when listening to music I do enjoy hip hop and the outta control moments in music a lot, and that's where it could totally shine. Thanks for your input and the cool sound sample which sounds killer and actually helped me get a better idea of how to use this. It's totally a beats-friendly tool. Dang, I feel like I always wanted to love the rainbow, and suddenly I do 🤩 I feel so lame now for my poor imagination abilities before. That said, I can understand how this pedal makes for a good example to do a video that's kinda critical. I feel like as a gear RU-vidr I'd be wanting to do something like this every once in a while to show I'm not totally selling everything. Bet I would've jumped on that opportunity too with this one (before I saw your comment - thanks again, you're awesome!)
Loved this review. Honest about pros and cons. That's what I needed. Still not sure if I'm gonna buy one though but at least I have broader view to make a decision on.
I like mine. Honestly I would rate it a 10/10 except for one thing: The EQ on it is pretty weak compared to the rest of the unit. You only get three bands and they can’t be adjusted in terms of frequency ranges. Really limits how much you can fine tune some of the tones (it’s fine on some preamps, but it really becomes a big problem on others). Despite its quirks, it’s still very much my daily driver. It’s great if the idea of a knob-based WYSIWYG processor appeals to you, and it does sound really good once you have it dialed in. It’s not going to compete against what a GT-1000 or a GX-100 can do if you want maximal flexibility though (traditional screen/menu based processors have the entire ME-lineup beat as soon as we start talking about signal chain order).
It's know that if you put the microphone really low you can have nasty phase issues coming from the cymbals at the sides. I prefer lo loose some kick but get some control is the cymbals. I guess you can always do some drum replacement to enhance kick and snare. Cymbals can't be fixed
The attack always sounds dull to me through the Lion. I got one recently. I'm close to returning it. When I use my 5150 Iconic, I feel an instant response as my pick moves across the string. With the Lion, that initial pick attack is totally nonexistent. I don't experience this with the real Marshall rigs I've played on. I'm using the Lion in the 4 cable mode with the 5150 Iconic and out to a Mesa 2x12.
I picked up a Boss ME99 a couple of weeks ago & when I use my account, I just bypass the amp channel & use the EQ on the EQ/FX2,. I play jazz/fusion & when I use an acoustic, it's my Cordoba flamenco guitar ( nylon string) so it does work, didn't have to download anything from the computer, Great video, Rock On & God Bless.
Listened on my Neumann NDH30 headphones which give plenty of detail. To be honest I expected the difference to be huge and am surprised how extremely close they sound.
when I get the more high gain metal sounds there´s this super-annoying after-effect when I stop playing, now i dont know basically anything about the BGT-8, but that makes me feel like buying a noise gate xP..is there a work-around ?
