The Hologram Chroma Console Is a Beast | Tone Report 

This is fucking hilarious Pretty sure I could send him the pedal from a sewing machine

Yes, he's the go-to for good information.

I truly appreciate that, thanks for watching all this time! 👊💥👊

@@AndyDemos My pleasure for sure. Your playing and sense of tone is fantastic and really allows the listener to hear what each piece of gear can do. This is invaluable when shopping for gear online. You should seriously get an award from the guitar community. Thanks again and if you have time please 🙏 check out my #majikband albums Mycelium and Primordium. I come up with some pretty good guitar sounds if I say so myself. Cheers and keep on rocking.

I've been playing for 51 years. Andy's literally in the top five players for musical ideas and innovation. Nothing is EVER overplayed. Anyone can thrash. This guys, plays.

@@BCTGuitarPlayer Really? Musical ideas and innovation? Don't get me wrong, he seems like a really nice guy and is a solid player. But generally I find his ideas to be pretty generic-sounding, for the most part. That's again what I get from this demo. What am I missing?

I had one arrive 5 mins ago, looking at it right now

@@gerardlee4319 Are you happy with it?

@@bucklebean Tried it only on Wurlitzer last night and it sounds real good. Didn't mess with it too much (secondary functions etc), but even when you push the levels it stays very musical and useable. Guitar and/ or bass tonight!

@@gerardlee4319 Nice, I'll be trying guitar and probably drums once it gets here later today. Cheers

@@bucklebean sounds good, let me know what you think.

This would be so great for music production

I have a tough enough time of that when the numbers are lit up

The four big leds between the switches light up in multiple colours. Those 4 leds give a lot of useful feedback depending on what you’re doing. One of them is knowing which preset you’re on. When you hold the Bypass/Preset switch you go into preset select mode. In that mode, each colour has 4 presets with the active one lit up more than the others. So, there’s Red 1, Red 2, Red 3, Red 4, then Yellow 1, et cetera. It’s pretty hard to capture well on camera, but it’s actually quite easily visible in real life. You can set it so that moving through them switches right away, or so you can select it without changing the sound, and then it switches the moment you press the switch again. It works quite well, but of course, if you have a midi-controller preset management will be easier.

@@Qwitsoenderthank you for answering my question so well! I had wondered about those LEDs… 🤔

When pressing and holding the right foot-switch you enter preset mode, and there’s multiple ways to move through them. And within each preset you can enable which blocks are on at the start, and then use a short press on the right foot-switch to add in the others. Read the manual if you want to know more.

Sokath, his eyes uncovered!

Yamaha SAS-II

Vibrato plus dry signal equals chorus

We still making that lazy criticism in the year of 2024? Okay then. It is $400 and has four simultaneous effects plus looper. Each of the effect blocks has multiple variations. $100 for a single effect pedal is not outrageous.

Well, even the Lex Vortex is "vintage" now

@@loulasher yeah, right 🙃
