Have fun!- Guitar Effect Pedalphile Thread
For anyone wondering what all this sounds like, this is just the gear in the previous post: The guitar is a Casino type fully hollow with P-90s. Its plugged straight into that little pedal board I've posted pics of recently and the only things active are the Tonex One pedal using an amalgam captures Vox AC-30 model, pushed slightly with a blues driver clone (in front), with a little reverb (behind). From there its out to a looper and then to the Laney AH150. The looper is used to record the first pass of chords/harmony/accompaniment and then I'm improvising over that. This is all just recorded with the mic on my iphone, so no processing or tricks on the recording end to improve sound quality or anything. I get lots of compliments about tone from guitarists who can't believe what I tell them when asked about my rig.- Guitar Effect Pedalphile Thread
It would be hard for me to not do it this way now. As often as not, this is what I’m taking to practice and gigs and just plugging straight from pedalboard to PA. If a PA with monitoring is not available at the destination, I add my Laney AH150 that’s basically a mono 5 channel PA with power amp in a 1x12 combo footprint. Can have a mic or two for vocals plugged in, guitar, etc… and it’s never been not loud enough for places that didn’t have a PA on premises. We are talking coffee shops, small clubs/restaurants, patio gigs.- Guitar Effect Pedalphile Thread
Yeah, I think modeling/emulation is great, but if you have a great amp you like and don’t mind lugging it around for gigs, I would just get an attenuator and use that. I think the modeling shines when you: - want to record and dont have the mics or acoustic space for it - want to play a variety of styles, need a variety of amp tones but don’t want to pay $1k+ per amp - are short on space and can’t afford the footprint of more physical amps - you are old or otherwise decrepit and don’t want to haul an amp around to gigs anymore All four of those are a yes for me, personally.- The Guitar Pron Thread

I got some nice Amalgam captures that cost a few bucks to buy. Want em? https://www.amalgamcaptures.com/tonex- Guitar Effect Pedalphile Thread
Got a teeny tiny parametric EQ in for that mini board. Gonna have this on to do minor tweaking between guitars. Scoop the mids, or clean the mud, or dial out the 2k-5k ice pick. No idea how well it works yet, but I love its size.- The Guitar Pron Thread
I think it would, but its just theory and not backed up by real-world experience.- The Guitar Pron Thread
Wouldn't tension be affected with the lower pitch strings being relatively longer from tuning peg to bridge?- Guitar Effect Pedalphile Thread
Why not just get an attenuator, @tbone_? I mean, if you like your amps but not their volume, you could get something like this to allow you to crank the amp but turn down the overall volume going to the speakers https://us-store.two-notes.com/collections/loadboxes-and-attentuators/products/torpedo-captor-8.- Guitar Effect Pedalphile Thread
Yeah, I have a UA Dream 65 and it's great into an FRFR or PA speaker. It has built in impulse responses for cabinet sounds if you are going FRFR/PA and that is what I use, but you can turn those off if you want to render it through a real guitar cabinet. Noting that as you weren't specific about the 1/12 or 2/12 cabinet and whether it's going to be some sort of FRFR thing or a real guitar cabinet. I'll send a recording via PM so you can hear what it sounds like going the FRFR/PA route using the built in impulse responses. I haven't tried an Iridium, but a lot of people like them. I have owned and used a Helix, AxeFX3, Tonex, quad cortex, and... The UA pedals are the best modeling thing I've tried with the Tonex being a close second at a much cheaper price point. One thing that is different between the UA Dream 65 and the others is that it just provides the tones of a 1965 Deluxe Reverb and nothing else. The obvious con is that you are locked in to one amp sound for the $399 MSRP, whereas the other things I mentioned have the ability to emulate multiple amps. The pro to that is the pedal basically has all the dedicated controls of the real amp. There are no abstractions, where knob X means "Presence" on one amp emulation and something else on another. I personally like that, and it makes it much easier to dial it in without the menu diving. Last thing I'll say is that the used story for the UA pedals is good. Meaning, the seller doesn't have to do anything to transfer ownership for you to be able to update firmware, etc... So you can occasionally find them for $250 or so on Reverb if you want to save some cash and be able to move it for basically what you paid for it if you don't mesh with it.- Covid/Influenza/Black Death. 2024 and beyond

Right to left: Hotone vow press (wah/volume) Swiff audio tuner F-pedals phasevibe (phaser, vibrato) Mooer blues mood (blues driver clone) Wampler Ratsbane (rat clone) or Wampler Tumnus (klon klone) Tonex one (AI amp/cab modelling using a Vox AC30 capture w/built in compressor) One control dimension blue monger (chorus) JHS tidewater (tremolo) Schutone Loadstone (tape delay) One control prussian blue reverb (reverb) It can go from very clean with neither dirt pedal activated to edge of breakup with just the blues mood to crunch with just the ratsbane to something kinda approaching fuzz with both the blues mood and ratsbane on. The delay and reverb can do ambient "Explosions in the Sky" type sounds. I can fit in with pretty much any musical context with this except detuned death metal and it will sound good. I will probably add a small EQ to allow the base tone to be tweaked for different guitars/pickups without having to muck with any of the core tone knobs.- Guitar Effect Pedalphile Thread
