What did we learn today??? 2 things.. (1) this pedal is pretty friggin awesome and a great addition to any pedal board.(2) don't throw away the instructions and read through them ( thumb through them and then throw them away) and don't let the bass player try to read them he will just try to eat them. GREAT VIDEO Glenn really digging this pedal!!!

Crazy how much Glenn improved over the last couple of months and bass players can't even mute their strings. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you don't smoke weed all day and play Mario kart. Edit. I like this joke actually triggered some bass players. I guess it hit too close to home. Go practice instead of fighting strangers on the internet.

What I like about your pedal reviews in particular is you play both rhythm and leads. I just watched a review of a distortion pedal on a normally great channel that may sound awesome but the guitarist only played solos the entire time. On a pedal that’s known for being used on rhythm. And honestly, to really hear the sonics you need a nice sustained chord every now and then. Also, you put them through a mix which is obviously the most important thing for a recording guitarist. I know it’s common sense to do this stuff but all too often even the most respected demo guys forget why we’re watching. Thanks Glenn.

Wow this is really impressive! Especially on leads! On it's own i was like this is okay, but in a mix, night and day! it allows it to really cut through, which is something I've always liked about how Loomis' tone was mixed. is it worth 350 bucks though? Not for me. But if i was a performing live a lot and wanted to take a studio sound on the road with me without a kemper/axefx, it would be an easy yes.

@Pauligrinder Жыл бұрын

Seems like a cool pedal otherwise, but kinda makes you wonder why they didn't also put a noise gate into it, since it's supposed to be an all in one kind of solution.

I am now thinking I am missing on benefits from the PC, but am I really? Have you cosidered seeing how good a mix you can get on a mobile phone or garageband or bandlab specifically?

I have no idea who Jeff Loomis is, but the pedal looks nice, sounds nice and has a lot of features. A bit salty on the price, but I think it's only fair. I love the "bite" it adds to the amp sound and the built-in delay/reverb is a handy tool. BUT I don't think you used it to its full potential in the mix. It really sounds a lot like your other mixes. Could just be me, though.

What I really like about your guitar product reviews is the perspective compared to the top end guys like Tubbs, Hermanns, Thorn etc. Hearing what this product sounds like from just a beginner, intermediate player shows us beginners out here what it will most likely sound like for us as the sounds are never as dialed in the same. I know you hate the "tone is in the hands" comments but the fact is that it's true. There are subtleties that can't be measure with science, but like it or not, how you play is a huge part of how you sound. No need for science; just need to listen to your own demo guys. But again, just a guy without the same level of dynamics in his playing with a more linear clobbering style is more in line with most of us listening out here will sound like through the same shit.

4 cable method pedals are a nightmare. I have never used one that didn't need to go through an ISO transformer to get rid of the ground loop. The only pedal where I would tolerate it is a noise gate because there is no other way to get it to function properly, but something with a drive and delay? Completely pointless... get a drive pedal for the front of the amp and separate delay pedal for the loop. Bad product design IMO.
