A suggestion for future videos. When you A/B between two settings, please don't speak in between as it significantly reduces the effectiveness of the comparison. Instead describe the settings before playing. And then play a 1 or 2 bar phrase, and without any speaking or pauses, play the same 1 or 2 bar phrase with the other setting. That way, it will be much more effective.

Mic' the dry amp, send dry tapped from tube preamp and tube powersection sent into stereo fx then into Orand Micro Terrors Hybrid Tube Solid State power amps for stereo. Blending the stereo with the dry Cab mic. Audience hears the stereo Two Notes Torpedo Cab M plus IR DI boxes feeding the dual Orange Micro Terrors..

How different would this be from the pedal plus any generalized amp sim - say the Two Notes?
@sweetwater 2 жыл бұрын
Hey, G.W. Thanks for your question! The obvious difference between those two setups is that with the pedal and amp sim you can put it through pretty much any size PA or cabinet, so scalability is going to be greater for performance. Using the Ecstasy amp instead of just the overdrive pedal means you get the full preamp and power section, but how it differs sonically would really depend on which Two Notes pedal you're comparing it to. The Ecstasy as a whole caters to more aggressive playing styles, even though it has quite a bit of versatility. Pairing the pedal with something like the Le Clean may allow you to get a cleaner tone when you bypass the Ecstasy, for example. I hope this helps, but feel free to reach out to dig in to this more!

@sweetwater 2 жыл бұрын
Hey, Mr. D! Thanks for reaching out. The cab you pair an amp to can have a pretty significant impact on the overall sound. Brand doesn't matter as long as the power ratings are a good match. That being said, amp heads and cabs are usually tuned to pair together, so unless you're trying to get a specific result I would recommend starting off with the matching cabinet. Hopefully this helps! Connor Smith, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1793, connor_smith@sweetwater.com

Hi, Tim. It could potentially work but isn't going to sound as good as those other options. Typically for a good pedal platform you want something with tubes and with some decent clean headroom. The Blues Jr. works great as a home amp and I know a ton of people who use it for that, but it still has enough power to jam with friends or even do small gigs so it's a great quality work horse.

Soldano, Diezel, Friedman, and Bogner (and maybe more?) all make a micro 30w SS amp. When you look at the pictures of them all from behind, they are completely identical, in every way. When you look at the front, they are all extremely similar. Why? A conspiracy theorist would assume they are all simply buying them from the same Chinese manufacturer, and slapping their names on them. Please say this isn't the case. But go online and check out the pictures, especially of the back. How, oh how, are they all exactly the same?? There's no way that happens by coincidence. At the very least they are all buying the back panel and enclosures from the same company.
