That is how this guitar deserves to be played! Thank you for demonstrating the pad so well. I keep watching their website like a hawk for if they will drop a batch in that purple color they teased on IG recently. I'm definitely ordering one.
Oh wow thanks!! It was fun to do this video and I'm haply that you like it Bryn! The purple one looked amazing, I hope you get your hands on one, or one like it!
Great demo and a great guitar. I picked up the Red Santa sustaniac version of the MA Evo just before Christmas. Best guitar i've ever owned. Already planning my second Manson purchase, need one with a midi screen!
I was wondering if you could upload a video or somethjng about how you plug the guitar and kaos pad in? Like does it need another cable and plug into the guitar for the pad? Does the pad then need to plugged into a midi or somethjng? It’d be great to see how the set up is
Thank for a thorough review. Regarding the XY pad - iiuc there is no way to switch the midi channel it controls? I read somewhere that these are always channel 12 and 13 and you need to adjust your pedals to expect Control Change messages on that channel? How does it work in a live setting between different songs? Clearly there is no time to reprogram the pedals, so are you limited to controlling 2 parameters across all your effects throughout a gig?
Great review. What's the neck like? Anything you can compare it to? Can't find any shop that stocks them to try it out. I love the wizard 2 neck from ibanez not a fan of big chunky necks thanks
Hey Chris, thank you very much!! If I had to compare the neck another guitar, I'd say that it feels like a Fender Tele, or even an Ibanez as far as grip is concerned. No matter what, very comfy. 🤘🏻
Hi! Interested in the MIDI screen operation: are you stuck on a fixed CC for each axis, on can you reprogram them? Is there a way to change CC programming on the fly? Also: which is the direction along x and y axis? i.e bass strings to high strings = x increase, bridge to neck = y increase?
Guitars like this usually outlive the electronics designed into them. There will eventually be used ones with broken touchscreens that are no longer available.
