What an awesome little pedal. At that price its a no brainer to pick one up as a backup unit. That tone you got with the 608B was so good too!!! Man I wish there was gear like this available when I was starting out.

Does it have a clean bypass? If no effects are switched on, is the incoming signal affected by any EQ?

@frankyfire-tech Жыл бұрын

Nice review. But I miss one info or feature: I know that the pedal does not have a Midi port. But as it can be used as an audio interface, does it present a virtual Midi port for preset switching? That's kinda crucial when it comes to live gigging and you're changing a lot of parameters. We use our DAW to automate that stuff with the HX Stomp (but our bass player does still need some MultiFX Board - this one looks quite promising).

Just wondering, did you ever get a bad sounding gear ? 😃 Dont get me wrong, I love your work and your review are very well produced. But I dont think I'll get a good sound out of this with my standard E guitar and some thrash riffz. I mean , yes it will sound ok for the price but you have to set a point of comparison between a very good and an ok sounding amp. Just my opinion.

@SonicDriveStudio Жыл бұрын

I've had some bad sounding stuff in the past but if something doesn't sound good I usually don't want to feature it on the channel. I don't see the point of doing that. Having said that, sometimes it happens

@dylanjastle Жыл бұрын

@@SonicDriveStudio I had a similar question and some feedback. I enjoy your videos and watch most of the uploads. But sometimes, it feels a little bit like a gear sales advertisement channel instead of an honest review. A/B comparisons between other similar units would help it feel authentic. Even if every piece of gear you review on the channel gets a thumbs up. Cheers

@SonicDriveStudio Жыл бұрын

I do plenty of other videos like comparisons etc. All my reviews are very honest. I can't help it that a lot of gear sounds good these days. Also, when you do this for a living it's impossible to sustain this job without getting paid for reviews. That's just how it is. Cheers
