I can't believe how good the Line 6 box sounded, it had that amazing woody characteristing of a matchless. I've been in denial about these for some time, perhaps I'm really in need to trying a few out. Thanks!
Old video but I've been trying to find out why I need an amp sim pedal for about 5 hours. first video that explains why and has an audio demonstration. Thank you!
I know this is an older video but I had a request. I'd be interested in seeing the process of adding a pinstripe channel like orange does with their cabs. Im pretty sure I know how they would do it but I'd like to know as much as possible before I hit my cab with the router lol. I build my own pedals and guitars as well as build tube amps and restore vintage tube radios. So I'd like to start figuring out cabs next. I currently run two 1x12's cause it's a good setup for low and high wattage amps. Which works great with my marshall DSL100HR and my fender single ended Champ style amp that I built which army two main amps. One of the 1x12's is an orange ppc112 and the other is a seismic audio cab that I always meant to retolex and swap hardware on to better match the orange cab but I have so many projects I want to do that it always gets put off lol. Anyways I think I'm just about sick of looking at the mismatched cabs lol. The seismic cab is slightly bigger but with the right modifications I think most non guitar players won't notice they don't match. And even for guitar players it will at least be less obvious than it is now. Anyways I enjoyed the video and it perfectly answered my question about doing the corners. Thanks for posting!
I was able to build a pretty good one for about two hundred and seventy bucks - seven pedals, all of them Kmise, Azor, or Donner, using the Kmise pedalboard as a base, which includes the built in power supply. Im amazed how much fun it is. Kmise compressor - Azor blue delay - Kmise vintage overdrive - Kmise chorus - Donner autowah - Donner yellowfall delay - Azor spring reverb (as featured in this video) Five stars, would recommend
Many thanks for this video. I own a Blackstar Amped1 (a complete amplifier in a pedal), and I'm satisfied with it when I use it at home with headphones. I tried two times to connect it to a mixer using the onboard cab simulation XLR output. When used in this way, the tone of the guitar is not bad, but the overall sound is thin, too soft, and there's no attack. The output is mono, but the mixer sends a sort of dual mono signal to all the speakers, resulting in something similar to a stereo sound, good for clean, but not so good for crunch and rock (the sound is very wide but thin). Using the provided Blackstar software I removed (from the cab rig simulation) the simulation of the room, and this contributed to having a less wide sound, with some minor improvements. On the mixer the EQ is flat, and the owner of the studio did not find anything strange (a part of the confirmation the signal is split in two mono signals sent to the two speakers), but he's not an expert in this kind of setup. Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong (I had the same feeling in the same studio also using a Torpedo CabM)? Thanks
all these TOYS are good for running direct yes, but wont give you any stage volume to hear your rig. If the venue has floor monitors in front of each musician (guitarist) AND they can pipe your guitar rig sound through those then yup direct is cool but still limited. Best is still old school with your guitar, an actual worthy amplifier, and a real speaker cabinet with a mic in front that is plugged into the main sound system pa. All this gear is created for alot of folks that dont wanna spend money on a real guitar rig and/or lug around heavy gear and have to actually take the time to set it all up on a real stage. I found this video because i was doing research on cab sim pedals for my studio rig so i watched this. Great information tho...i did learn some tricks !!! And also, I would just use a good effects amp/cab floor processor unit like a boss, line 6 or digitech or a zoom. Plug and play...
great job but one thing i noticed so i got to write it in case something bad happens!!your blade is so close to your wrist and an accident happens so fast!!be careful!!
Great video! I'm new to direct recording so pardon the remedial questions... With the Neunaber Iconoclast, I see that you paired it with an overdrive (Blues Driver and Tumnus). - Are these overdrives used in addition to the Strymon overdrive at the beginning of the chain? - What is the purpose of the Blues Driver and Tumnus when you already have an overdrive in the chain? Thanks!
Excellent technique. Now if you applied a good coat of good quality contact cement before you "should" not need the added Krazy Glue. Although it might help a beginner.
You aren't wearing headphones in the video. I presume we at home are hearing the units plugged straight into your DAW but there in the studio what hardware are you listening to the amp sounds on?
Great info, even 2 years later. I feel like now days you’ll almost always get a great sound, it will come down to other preferences like size, options and price. What a great time we live in!
Thanks for all the great advise I’m using a mad professor super black as my preamp into my strymon flint into a radial direct drive cabs sim/di then to front of house .
Very useful! Can you clarify the chain? Is this the connection order: FX pedals (overdrive, reverb etc.) -> preamp -> IR loader -> DI box -> Audio Interface?
Couple corrections. Your chain is missing an actual "amp modeler" to replace an actual amplifier. There are pedals that are amp modelers, and pedals that are cab simulators (IR Loaders), and DI boxes, and there are units that have all of these features combined. Correct chain is this. FX pedals > pre-amp > Amp Modeler > IR Loader(Cab Simulator) > DI Box > House PA mixing board. The Strymon Iridium fills the role of amp modeler and cab sim, but not DI box, so most of the time you still have to run the Iridium to the DI box, then the house mixer. Some units like the NUX Amp Academy have amp modeler, cab sim, and XLR output so you can go straight to the house board with no DI. Hope this was helpful.
I haven't used an amp in years the pedal I can absolutely not do without is my boss eq it works on any sound source I plug into it pretty much acts as a preamp and colors mysound anyway I would like it when I was young my first guitar amp was my parents Panasonic stereo system
