A lot of other videos just play and knob tweak with brief explanations that don't serve as well to understand how the unit functions. I have the other 3 UAFX pedals (Dream/Ruby/Woodrow) and was looking for this one to get a sense of what it does so kudos to you.

@JustinWaterfield84 8 месяцев назад

You can totally do that! There’s actually a configuration within the UAFX app which lets you run the pedal’s inputs/outputs as sort of a hybrid setup with your amp. In this mode, you are able to select your amplifier’s natural preamp tone, or switch over to the amp sim with a press of the footswitch. Check it out, if you get the chance!

Hey thank you for the video! Would you happen to know if I could switch between (or summon) presets from just the pedal? E.g You are on preset 1 but you set up the right foot switch to pull up Preset 2 with a different volume/output setting. Thus being able to toggle between 2 volume and output configs at any given time. I’ve been able to do this somewhat with the Live/Preset config but “live” isn’t very… savable. If you get what I mean. Thanks in advance!

@JustinWaterfield84 8 месяцев назад

As far as I know, the UA pedals operate only in 2 modes: Live and Preset. So you’d need to set up your Preset first, then rearrange everything for the Live mode and hope nobody moves the knobs! I believe this is very much in keeping with the design ethos of all UA’s pedals - they want you to forget this thing is digital and just use it as you would any other stompbox. Hope this helps!

@theguitaruss 6 месяцев назад

Question- I’m seeing different opinions. Do you have a perspective on using the various cab options, when running in front of your amp (I’m using 2 orange baby solid state (clean) power heads in stereo). Is the a major issue to run the cab emulators in front of an amp?

@JustinWaterfield84 6 месяцев назад

It’s not an issue at all! Cab simulation is just another “flavor” to put on your guitar tone. If you like how it sounds running into your amp, then do it. There’s no Right or Wrong answer here.

@gianluigidautilia6417 7 месяцев назад

@erickirwan6432 8 месяцев назад

Do you think these Universal Audio amp in a box pedals would pair nicely with Fender’s Mustang GTX amps? For example if I wanted to bypass any of the built in emulations in the amp and use just the preamp/mic/speaker/cab emulations in the UA Lion?

@JustinWaterfield84 8 месяцев назад

If the Mustang lets you bypass its own amp/cab modelling, then yes, that would work well. The one thing to keep in mind is that any effects you add from the Mustang will effectively come after the amplifier sim, which will create a very different sound than putting those same effects in front of an amp. You might like the sound, so give it a try!

@TA-kx5jm 5 месяцев назад

GTX has stereo effects loop and the send and return come at the very end of the chain I believe so you could put these pedals there and have all effects in front.

@longandmcquade 3 месяца назад

Yes that'd probably pair nicely because the Mustang speaker has to be pretty neutral to give the best representation of the built-in model. Bypass that and use this pedal and it'll probably sound great!

@corytanner1308 7 месяцев назад

I’m planning on running this through my Fender Twin Reverb, is this pedal gonna work with that?

@longandmcquade 7 месяцев назад

Yes it will work, but since the Twin Reverb does not have an effects loop, the Lion pedal has to go into the front end of your amp, which will "stack" amp tones. That is, the simulated amp from the Lion will run through all stages of the Twin Reverb amp. The Lion and other amp sim pedals were designed to sound their best "flat" ie without any other colouring from an amp or speaker, that's why they sound best through a FRFR speaker or direct into a console or audio interface for recording. The Fender Twin is a very clean pedal platform amp however, and is difficult to push into overdrive to get it to colour the amp tone. So for use with your Fender Twin Reverb amp, we'd recommend running it into the front end of the amp (the only choice you have) but turning off the cab simulation on the pedal since you're hearing it through the real speakers on the Twin.

@jerryhatrick5860 8 месяцев назад

Lol I get sounds like this with my mxr super badass through a v2 hot rod deluxe. Changed the speaker and did the basic mods to it.

@longandmcquade 8 месяцев назад

That's great Jerry, but the purpose of an amp sim pedal like this is to not use a real guitar amp. An amp sim is way smaller, way lighter, less to maintain, less expensive, and great for silent/quiet practice or recording. A Fender Hot Rod Deluxe is a 40w all tube amp which would be incredibly loud in a bedroom or apartment. So while you can get sounds like this with your setup, this pedal would replace your amp altogether. Not to mention, the current retail prices on a Super Badass is $200, and the Hot Rod Deluxe is about $1400. So at about $1600 current retail for your rig, the UAFX Lion is about 1/3 the price as well to get "sounds like this". Both the Super Badass and the HRD are awesome pieces of gear, but the primary purpose of an amp sim pedal like this is to replace the big, heavy, loud tube amp in your setup.

@cyylee5606 8 месяцев назад

Feasible to use this into an audio interface and use headphones out from the interface?

@JustinWaterfield84 8 месяцев назад

There are absolutely TONS of amp simulators out there, some of which have some form of MIDI capability. Be sure to read the manuals for them though - not every amp sim has full MIDI implementation. Some of them only accept program change messages and not CC’s, or vice versa. Hope this helps!

@mjjames2442 7 месяцев назад

Can I put this on my pedal board and run it into the front end of my amplifier thanks great channel

@longandmcquade 7 месяцев назад

You can, although it's not ideal nor what the pedal was really designed to do. It would sound best direct into an audio interface for recording or playing through monitors/headphones, or into the effects return of a guitar amp. By putting it in the front end of your amp, you're essentially running two amps in series. Stacking the Lion/Marshall amp tone on top of your actual amp tone. If you have to run it into the front end of your amp, we'd recommend turning off the cab sim part of the pedal, and try to run your amp as clean as possible so that your amp's gain isn't colouring the Lion's gain too much.

@@MrTimconaway It might not happen with your real amp because your real amp doesn't accentuate that resonant frequency, but apparently this pedal does. You'd have better luck addressing the guitar (restring, setup, etc) than the circuitry of the pedal. Are you noticing it during recording with the Lion? Or while playing it live in a room? If during recording, do you see the ringing or overtone in the waveform in your DAW? If while playing in the room, what are you listening to it through? A FRFR cab? A PA speaker? Studio monitors?

@mivani84 8 месяцев назад

I have some ua pedals. But what is different with this pedal and a fender tone master pro. They both simulate ?

@JustinWaterfield84 8 месяцев назад

The Tonemaster Pro has more processing horsepower to emulate several different amps and effects. The Lion (and UA’s other pedals) just emulate one thing each. This allows UA’s software programmers to use the processor to its fullest potential, rather than asking the processor to do lots of different things at the same time (like a multi-fx). Hope this helps.

@longandmcquade 8 месяцев назад

The UAFX Lion and Fender Tone Master Pro are different products for different customers with different budgets. The Fender Tone Master Pro is an all-in-one multi-fx unit that does have a Plexi model in it, along with different speaker cabs like the Lion does. But it also has tons of other amp models, speaker cabs, effects, etc. So the Fender Tone Master Pro comes with a lot more, however it also costs a lot more -- $1800 CAD more. The UAFX Lion is for someone who doesn't want or need every amp model under the sun, endless effects and 6000 IRs. Its for someone who wants nothing but the most accurate simulation of a 1968 Marshall Super Lead amp, plus a handful of speaker cabs, to pair with their current effect pedal collection.

@yixit431 7 месяцев назад

Can I use OX Stomp effects only (speakers off)?

@longandmcquade 7 месяцев назад

It doesn't appear so. You can turn on/off the mics and effects, but the cabinet itself seems to stay active. Even if it was possible, without the cabinet/mic simulation running, the Ox Stomp is rendered down to a compression/reverb/eq/delay pedal with no controls available on the unit itself. So if this is your anticipated use case, we'd likely recommend a different route with more control to the features you want on the face of the pedal.

@yixit431 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the detailed explanation, it was helpful.@@longandmcquade
