I just got one..... silly question I bet..... but the pedal doesn't switch the pedals on and off.... it just cuts the signal? I shouldnt expect the pedal lights to go on and off?
Nice video, well explained! I would recommend using the Freeze before your modulation, delay and reverb so the frozen tone gets modulated ... sounds much more alive.
Hello! Thank you for sharing such great piece! I am about to own this Patch Kommnader as I found out it best meets my personal criterias. However, there is one last thing I really need to know before I make the final statement. Could you please help me with my case? What I need to achieve by installing this thing is that I need to have, let's say for the sake of simplicity, 2 separate presets. The first one is the "clean amp channel" + flanger. The second is "overdrive amp channel" + reverb. My amplifier has 2 channels, A and B (clean and overdrive). My question is, am I able to create those presets using Patch Kommander? My main goal is to make it simple, so I could switch between them using only "1 click". I am confused because of built-in footswitch between A/B channels. I hope to hear back from you soon!!
thank you for the video! 3 questions - 1) what patch cables are you using? 2) the 4 little LED buttons are awfully close to the 3rd and 4th footswitches. Do you accidentally press the LED buttons when stomping on the 3rd or 4th ? 3) how is it holding up so far? Thanks again.
i like the simplicity of single pedals and I don't use a lot of pedals but my main issue is say turning on wah and boost at the same time for a solo, or phaser and boost. Is there something simpler i could use than this?
Get some longer patch cables and put the pedals next to each other in your board so you can do it with one foot, one motion, otherwise you could try fashion a stick across the two buttons where if you stand in the middle of it, it turns both on
I played with the FX loop when using the driven channel on the Marshall head unit but decided to run everything into the front in the end so I could replicate my tone on any amp 🤷♂️
You could go: Guitar > Switcher Input > Loop1 = Phaser, Loop2 = Overdrive + Distortion, Loop 3 Send > Amp input, Amp send > Loop 3 Return, Loop 4 = Freeze + Modulation + Delay + Reverb, Switcher Out > Ditto Looper > Amp Return. If you do it like that you can use your modulation/time based FX in the FX loop of the amp and the Distortion before the amps preamp. But you loose 1 loop of the switcher, because the preamp of the amp is now in loop 3. And you need to let loop 3 stay on all the time or you bypass the preamp of your amp. If you have an aditional preamp pedal (for example the Revival Drive) you could use it in another loop, deactivate the loop of the amps preamp and use the preamp pedal directly to the poweramp of your amp. You could try using your distortion pedals directly to the poweramp to get other sound results.
@@FatalBrainErrorSo with just four in the bank when in programmable mode, you have to waste say Loop one in each bank to switch on the clean sound you started with anyway ??! What a stupid waste of programmable loop. Otherwise, if you put it in bank one loop one, and various other sounds in other banks, you turn into a tap-dancing leprechaun again and may as well have saved a hundred quid !! My straight to amp sound is just fine for basic rhythm work, I use it a lot, but have five main pedals as well which get used in various combinations.
No, thats just dumb, I want a true-bypass straight-through sound for that, and the preset loops for pedal combinations. It doesn’t take much to see the logic in that. The manual setting does it just fine, so why not the preset? @@FatalBrainError
