This is the Solid Studio I.R. & Power Amp Simulator pedal from Nu-X Effects (or NUX if you prefer). The Solid Studio is a guitar speaker simulator in a pedal. It has Eight speaker cabinet emulations, Eight microphone emulations and can emulate the response of Three different power amp tubes: EL34, 6v6 and EL84.
The Solid Studio is perfect for direct guitar recording, songwriting, or for use on a pedalboard where putting a microphone on a speaker cabinet isn't possible. In this demo and review, we'll take a look at the tones produced and see how quickly YOU can dial in your own speaker simulation sound.

@@mariobrala6850 hey Mario. I can't confidently say that the NUX would be a good headphone amp, as I've not used it for that purpose. The Output does indicate it can be used with Headphones via a TRS cable. So you COULD use headphones but I can't say whether or not it will work well with headphones as I haven't tried it. Hope that helps.

@DusanStanic Год назад

Thank you Sean for a practical and thorough review of certain (for me, the most important) aspects of the pedal. I hope your viewers have an idea of what it means (time, patience, energy ...) to crawl with (eg just one) microphone in front of the speaker in search of the "desired" sound and how much only mic-simulation speeds up the recording (for us bedroom musicians, anyway). Or simply speed up the time to enjoy the guitar/jamming...

@SeanPierceJohnson Год назад

Thank you Dusan. I love mic’ing amps but sometimes you just don’t want the headache.

@TheOligoclonalBand 4 года назад

Thanks for this thorough review. I have a Two Notes Torpedo CAB for a while now. It's a great tool tool to make minute changes to mics and cabs, but sometimes I just want something where I can quickly change a parameter with a quick knob turn. I think this might be the pedal for that.

@SeanPierceJohnson 4 года назад

Thanks for watching! You're right, the Solid Studio is a great option if you want to make QUICK changes.

@mattgilbert7347 5 лет назад

@EasyHeat Год назад

I've recently been running a Vox Valve Energy Silk Drive set to "pre" dialed clean paired with a NU-X Lacerate Fet Boost to liven up amp sims, but I bet this Solid Studio pedal would make that Vox preamp shine on it's own. Nice demo.

@SeanPierceJohnson Год назад

Thanks man. Yeah the Solid Studio is great! I think the BIG thing that helps set it apart is the Power Amp stage. It’s just completely different than most other speaker sims and lend a real lifelines to everything.

@j.b.4867 2 года назад

Hi Sean, GREAT Video! I sure wish someone would make a RU-vid Video showing how the NUX Solid Studio sounds using a clean signal instead of a distorted one like you used. IMHO, a clean, uncolored signal is the best way to judge how ANY Power Amp & IR Simulator truly sounds.

@SeanPierceJohnson 2 года назад

Hey J.B. Thanks for checking out the video. I certainly understand where you're coming from. However, in my experience it's best to make the sound change as drastic as possible so that leads me to use distortion pedals to test cab sims. Without that speaker sim or IR it's pretty obvious how bad the distortion makes a guitar signal sound. Clean tone changes are less obvious, still easy to hear, but don't demonstrate the change as drastically IMO. I can definitely tell you that the Solid Studio works great regardless of clean or dirty sounds. It's still one of my favorites.

@j.b.4867 2 года назад

@@SeanPierceJohnson If you were given, with the understanding that you had to keep it, had to use it, and you couldn't sell it to buy something else you'd rather have, would you choose a NUX Amp Academy, a NUX Solid Studio, or a Strymon Iridium? Once you choose, please tell me why :)

Riley IoAcura thanks buddy. I always appreciate your kind words. To the video suggestion: it really just depends on getting the gear. I haven’t got much to shoot out in that category. I could reach out and try to get some of this stuff but I need to grow the audience and subscriber numbers. So hopefully it can happen sooner or later. Just need to make things more attractive to companies. Everyone wants to see something different.

@ErGoyoTV 5 лет назад

Thanks for this excellent review, best for this unit in YT Now my only question. Do the power amp simulations add some reverb flavor to the tone? I heard some from the beginning and I don't think it came from your preamp. You demonstrated very well the added drive and presence control knobs, but I have read consistent reports in forums and YT of embedded reverb effect on the amp simulation block. Thanks

@SeanPierceJohnson 5 лет назад

Hey man! First off, thanks so much for watching and your kind words. Really means a lot! To your question: yeah there is a bit there. BUT I wouldn't call it reverb, instead I look at it as "Room ambiance". The simulations have a distant mic as well as a direct mic on the cabs. But it's not HEAVY just a touch to give a sense of space and realness to the sound. And in all honesty, it doesn't distract from the core purpose/tone of the pedal. Sometimes, you'll forget it's there...I do. Hope I was able to answer your question well. Cheers!

@ErGoyoTV 5 лет назад

@@SeanPierceJohnson I see, so it obviously has ambience is in the cabs+mic IR, but none additional coming from the Powet Amp Sym modeling algorithm. Thanks again, for me I can take all that for Fender twin reverb type amps. Great videos, nice work, will subscribe and comment.

Great review Sean! Can you tell me please what preamp you use in front of the nux?

@SeanPierceJohnson 3 года назад

robert enache hi Robert 👋 The preamp was the a Massive Unity Dirty Boy preamp. Great pedal!

@rafaelikenaga 2 года назад

Is your preamp for doubling with the built-in preamp, or it doesnt have a preamp for signal leveling built-in at all? Thank you for the content!

@SeanPierceJohnson 2 года назад

hey Rafael. the Solid Studio doesn't have a preamp persay...it's more a power amp simulator. it does act as a gain stage but it's not a replacement for an amp sim. so the preamp I'm using it really as my main amp tones. not to say you couldn't use the Power Amp sim in that way...but its not a regular thing i do.

@McCambira Год назад

Hi guy! Should this Solid Studio, along with the PreAmp pedal, be placed at the end of the signal chain after the modulations, before the modulations or should the modulations be between them? Thanks!

@SeanPierceJohnson Год назад

Hey Alexandre! Thanks for watching. To answer your questions: I place the SS at the END of the signal chain. I do this for two reasons; 1) the SS has an XLR/DI Output on the side of the enclosure. It’s an easy way to go direct without needing a separate DI box. And 2) based on the logic that you’re hearing ALL your guitar effects through a speaker of some kind (including time based and modulation) it makes sense to place it at the end. It would still work if you didn’t, but you’d need more inputs/another DI box to go to front of house or your DAW. Hope this helps!

@DorinRocks 5 лет назад

What do you prefer? This or the Hotone Binary Cab? Great video, btw!

@SeanPierceJohnson 5 лет назад

Thanks Dorin! personally I'm using the Solid Studio over the Binary simply because this has the Input/Output routing options I'm most interested in

@stakolachook2581 3 года назад

Hi, do you hear any hiss or hum when connected via xlr output as some people are complaining?

@SeanPierceJohnson 3 года назад

i was plugged into my interface via the XLR output during the whole video and didn't have any issue. "hum" can be caused by lots of things.

@jyangyang 5 лет назад

what a great tone man , can i use it as a real cabinet that with my tube head? thanks!

@SeanPierceJohnson 5 лет назад

you will need a speaker load if you do use this. DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT simply connect your amp to this ONLY. Check their website for detailed routing directions.

@mattgilbert7347 5 лет назад

VERY IMPORTANT! Sean is totally right (as usual) - check the manual and/or the website for how to run it between head & cab. VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!

@Marlon5k 2 года назад

Between this unit and the JOYO Preamp house, which one is better for direct live playing?

@SeanPierceJohnson 2 года назад

i have not tried the Joyo so I can't give you a comparison. I do like the Solid Studio in a live context though. But again, can't say if the Joyo is better or worse

@yoanroseberrytremblay2447 4 года назад

Take the preamp fx send of a tube amp plus cabmic and power amp from the solid studio!

@SeanPierceJohnson 4 года назад

Yoan Roseberry Tremblay yep! Done that too. Great little setup

@periurban 3 года назад

Worth noting that the Solid State needs 9v at 500mA, which means some power supply bricks won't have enough juice. I should fess up. MY power supply had only 300mA. The results were... interesting. The pedal is a beast, but how accurate the sims are is beyond me. But it sounds good, and that's all that matters, eh? But if you really want to hear what it sounds like when digital elves dissolve all your amps, mics and cabs with their toxic bits then try 300mA.

@clintonmaher6930 5 лет назад

Does the XLR carry the affected signal from the pedal as a whole or is it an unaffected guitar signal DI?

@SeanPierceJohnson 5 лет назад

The DI Output sends the Speaker Sim & Power Amp Sim...not a true direct guitar sound. It simply eliminates the need to use a separate DI box to send to FOH.

I kept the Solid Studio and sold the Hotone. I just prefer the immediate result of it. The hotone has just a few too many menus to navigate. Sounded good but took a bit to long to make adjustments.
