Thanks for taking the time to produce and post this. Just got an Aeros, a Beat Buddy, and the Singular Sound Midi foot controller. Definitely a learning curve to climb integrating all of them into my guitar playing and singining as a live performance tool, but that's the nature of musical instruments - they take time, discipline, and dedication to master. Especially the guitar lol. BTW - Outstanding playing brother - very fluid and melodic. Guessing this isn't just a hobby for you... ;-)

Hi Colin. First time viewer to your channel. Really, really nice demo of the Aeros. Clear and well thought out explanation of it's functions and capabilities.

Hey great review. If you get more in depth into the Aeros I would like to know best way to connect mics to loop vocal sections (as aeros has no mic preamp or phantom power).
@ColinGaileyGuitar3 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Two ways you could go here: 1. Use a mixer for your vocal mic(s) and use the mixer’s aux out to feed the input or aux in on the Aeros. 2. Get a small single channel mic pre like the Rolls MP13 to feed directly into the input or aux in of the Aeros. Hope that helps!

Great demo, just got me one recently. Wondering if you could point me in the right direction. My set-up is very basic connecting guitar into Areos then into my Katana 50. What do I need in my set-up to use the different affects from the Katana on different tracks or overdubs? At present if I change from say clean tone to lead, every track changes.

Thanks Greg! Ideally, you’d put the Aeros in an FX loop to take advantage of the different tones you switch between like clean and lead.

There are certainly other options! You could also use a mixer or many powered PA speakers have a couple channel inputs. This way you could change tones without it effecting the output. Check out the example setups in the Aeros manual.

The pedal board is an RJM Mastermind GT10 which is just a midi controller. All the amp tones and effects are coming from the Fractal Audio Axe-Fx III. In my opinion, RJM makes the best midi foot controllers by a long shot. Great interface, easy to program, and more capabilities than any other controller I know of.

@ColinGaileyGuitar2 жыл бұрын
I understand! It can definitely be confusing getting everything hooked up. How you connect everything depends on how you’re using that gear. Are you using any overdrive from the RP1000 or just the Marshall overdrive? The simplest method would be to just connect the looper last in your chain. In other words, last thing into the amp. It can be a little more complex depending on your needs but start there and see how that works.

@ColinGaileyGuitar2 жыл бұрын
Overdrive AKA Distortion AKA Gain. The reason I asked is many times people will want to play chords with a clean tone and then switch to a higher gain sound to play over the loop. This can cause your loop to change tone as well if it’s not hooked up in the right way. If your loop is too quiet, raise the level using the loop volume slider on the right.

I’m pretty sure it was version 3.2. at the time of this video, it was the first firmware release to have the lock track function. That’s frustrating it’s leaving a gap!

You sure you’ve got it set up correctly? Tempo should be irrelevant in free form mode. At about 7:18 in my demo I’m using free form without tempo or quantize.

Things they wont tell you: You have to edit every single loop by hand to put them in your Daw or they won't line up. There is no Auto Quantize even tho it is advertised as so, if you are used to using the boomerang pigtronix EH Mxr Ditto or boss loopers for live use with no external midi clock or tap tempo for everything, too bad for you. The expression jack doesn't work. The Bluetooth doesn't work. The usb doesn't work. The volume wheel is problematic. There is a 2.5 minute limit on all tracks. You can't import from Daw therefore no backing tracks. Midi is crazy town right now. There is more, just start reading on the gear page or SS forums. This product may be awesome 2 years from now (the hardware is promising)... maybe even one year from now, until then stay Away! Nothing against the people who have reviewed this product... but find people who have not been sent free units and kick back from SS. There you will find more honest reviews. Until they hire a competent software dev team you are paying a lot to be a beta tester.
@ColinGaileyGuitar3 жыл бұрын
Yes, the pedal does have some flaws. That said, I spent a lot of time with it and the missing features you mentioned didn’t prevent me from getting a musical result. As with most pieces of gear, It just comes down to individual needs and preferences. My biggest complaint is that it was a bit tricky to use 6x6 mode without individual buttons for song parts. I found that was an easy fix combining the Aeros with another Midi Foot Controller. Also, I gave this presentation purely on interest, no compensation or free unit from the company. My opinions are completely unbiased and always will be. Personally, I feel SS is doing strong work with the Aeros. It’s not perfect, but I found it to be an inspiring pedal. And I think it will get better and better as time goes on. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and I hope the company continues to listen to people like you.

Also I wanted to play different time signatures on same song without jumping to another program. I’ve used boss loopers over 16 years, and wanted to downsize my large boss for travel. I picked up the new boss rc500. It’s manageable but has some problems as well, but is half the cost and has large storage. My back feels better with the boss and the new fender GTX 100.
