Thanks! yeah I feel the same way, he was amazing and so underrated. Appreciate it Steve! Blessings...

@@leecookmusic1 you said "was amazing", he's still hot his chops and yours frequently playing clubs and small intimate venues around the US and Canada. There are several videos posted fairly recently of him performing this song with some added me oodling and improv that show he's kept his fingers limber and quick as he's ever been. He doesn't hit the high notes when singing like he did but who can after almost 40 years? 😁

@@stevemclean5787 sorry I meant "is" no was... You are correct.. I just watched a video of him the other day and yes he is still as limber as ever (Awesome). Wow has it been that long? Crazy how time goes by.... Also, nice videos on your channel, sound great!

@@leecookmusic1 yeah, time just seems to blow by like the wind. Next year will be 40 yrs since I saw Triumph at the US Festival. Regarding the band on my site, if you're a Chicago fan and aren't familiar with them, you need to be. In a nutshell, Russian band covers Chicago better than Chicago at this point. They just finished their 3rd US tour here in AZ last month. Incredibly talented group of musicians. Check out their videos here on KZfaq. Leonid and friends. Peace

Sorry for the delay. So depending on the style of music that you play may determine where you might want to put it. A quick question, do you use your amps distortion channel for your dirty sounds, or do you use a pedal?

Wow thanks for replying! I play mostly metal. All my tones comes from the pedalboard. I have a Boss NS-2 and i placed it in one of the banks. However the NS-2 just doesn't seem to detect the unwanted noise at times. Am i doing it wrong? Appreciate your advice!

@@infernoah4059 So I'm not sure how you have been plugging it in on the looper so I'm throwing out an one idea here. On the looper, here is a way to hook it up. 1. come out of the send on the first loop and plug it into the input of the NG. 2. Come out of the NG output into the first loop return. 3. Now take your send on the NG and plug it into the input of your dirt pedal. 4. Next take the output of your dirt pedal and plug it into the return of the NG. 5. Make sure the NG is on reduction. This is how you may already have it, but if not its how I would try it first. Let me know if that works or if you are already using it that way so we can hopefully find a solution. Blessings

That's a brilliant suggestion. Honestly I don't know what I'm doing to my pedalboard but I'm gonna start with your suggestion first. You've been very helpful! Thank u so much!

Hey man I've tried what you suggested. Somehow when I start to play after a complete stop, the inital note will somehow be lower in volume and will gradually increase to the correct volume that I've set. I've turned the threshold and decay both ways and even set it very low to almost no gate but still this happens. My setup is Boss NS-2 - Revv G3 - Delay/Reverb. Has anyone experience this before? What am I doing wrong? To add on, the moment i struck a note, the reduction LED immediately switches off, meaning there is no gate.

No.

I agree, it would have been better to have 3 channels and maybe the bank up with 4 banks or so. I'm sure 6 channels is awesome! Nice!

leecookmusic its not Joyo though. Its called mooer pl6. But sometimes i wanted to buy the same joyo i sold, because im planning to build a minimal -easy to carry pedal setup. I recommend this product anyway.

No, the M5 don't have a looper feature, the M9 and M13 they have it.

The plx4 doesn't have a way to send midi commands. Their are other loop switches (by the same manufacturer) that do offer midi commands. You would need a midi switch to change programs on your M5. I hope that was the question you are asking. Check out this unit. (Joyo PXL LIVE Dual 4-Channel Programable Pedal Controller) It offers a Midi out but its much bigger and more money. I went with the plx4 for its size. Hope this helps. Blessings

Thanks for the questions. Question So the drive is before the M5 and delay for clarity reasons mainly. There is no right or wrong way to setup pedals depending on the sound you are going for. The way I think of it is this, do I want to have a delay sound with drive on it or do I want a drive sound with delay on it. Typically you will get a tighter sound with the drive before the delay/reverb. Most guitarist I watched over the years have this setup. The drives for me are always first and the effects after. The reason I have my M5 before the delay is because if I need a modulation effect then its still in front of my delay instead of after. Now if I had a separate reverb I would have the setup like this: (Tuner-Drives-Volume/Wah-Modulation-Delay-Reverb) which is a standard setup. In the end, you can setup your pedals any way you want. I would try different combinations and see what you like. I hope that helped, If you have any other questions please feel free to let me know. Blessings

hi, I've bought one and I'm surprised of the quality. T hey are the last nes, since it's gone out of production. a cheaper option to the korg sdd3000

Reynald Guibone I just checked and the effect does trail after you turn it off. Thanx for the question.

leecookmusic1 ow thank you so much..that's great!

Hi, So I looked up the Zoom G3 (nice looking unit) and it looks like there is only a input (guitar) and a left/right output. You can run the G3 into one of the loops on the pxl4 and put it in the signal path with other pedals in the other loops, but you would need to have a loop in and out for each effect on the G3 to be able to have control over each effect on individual loops of the pxl4 . Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching the video.

Hey sorry for the delay in getting you a reply. So my thought on the effects send-pedals-effects return from the looper would not work for the plx4. The pxl4 loops are not in the signal path when not selected which means it would cut off the sound between the preamp section and the power amp section (I'm not sure if the signal would still come through engaging the effects loop of the amp). Also the problem is you have two sends-one from the looper channel and one from the effects loop on the amp. I put it to paper and tried to make it work but didn't find a solution. Continue to research what you can. I may not have thought of some way to make it work. Sorry I wasn't more help. Thanks for watching the video.

I have one and managed to do it. First, put your pre-preamp pedals in the first loop. Then, for instance in loop 2, connect the send to the input of the amp, and the return to the "send" of the amps fx loop. Use the other loops for delays, etc., and finally connect the output of the pxl to the return of the fx loop of the amp. This way, loop 2 will be the distortion. I use it that way. Hope it helps

Pedaltrain PT1 22"W x 12.5"D

OK. I have the Jr and was wondering if it would fit

Unfortunately it is only a loop pedal. It does not have a channel switching feature. You would have to go the the PXL Pro which has triggers in it to change channels on you amp. I totally understand wanting to use your amps distortion especially if you really like it. Hope that answered your question. www.amazon.com/PXL-PRO-Programable-Control-Station-Switcher/dp/B00FC4BOKE Blessings.

Thanks for the question. I use the one spot to power everything. What I did was go online and find the specs for all my pedals and what their power requirements are. I added up all the milliamps (mA) and I was still a few hundred mA's under the one spot power output. It works great for what I have on the pedal board. I will at some point work toward getting a better (proper) power supply but do to a tight budget I had to go with the one spot. Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have anymore questions.

Thanks! so yeah the M5 is great. I haven't noticed any tone loss at all. It's a great workhorse for a pedalboard. It can cover a lot of ground. I have actually been working with the distortions and overdrives lately. I love analog but I just had to give it a shot. I can tell you the Classic Distortion model is very useful. It's a copy of the Pro Co Rat pedal and the filter nob is your best friend. I was able to copy my SD1 and Rook very closely. I had a friend of mine come over and had him turn away as I switched between the original and the M5 and he couldn't tell the difference. I would recommend it any time. Great Pedal! thanks again for the comment. Blessings

Thanks! I am really enjoying it.
