Question Please?: About the EQ Pro, Can you also use this 5 Band EQ on a regular pedalboard to shape your distortion sound as well and or clean sounds?…. or its just only for Acoustic Guitars?
Once again a hyper useful video Aaron! I was telling myself there was nothing new, then the Pocket blender pops out.. that will be 100% in my rig.
The very idea that EVERY pedal in this series have a ring/tip selector makes Fishman n. 1.
Less talk
You always give the most pertinent info of the product you're reviewing or providing instructions for. As one who is uber critical of my sound, it's nice to hear from someone else that desires the same thing. As many say, you can polish a turd, but it's still….
I think most of us out here have the same problem. Things have gotten really expensive. From guitars to pedals. A solo acoustic act might have upwards of 5-10 grand in equipment on stage. Sure you can get by with say 1000 bucks for everything needed. But it's going to be extremely limited in the end sound product. Of course if you're really good, you can finance what you want/need, and pay for it while making money with it. It just irks me that the pedal board you are describing here would be hundreds of dollars. As they average around 100 bucks a piece. ????. Keep giving us the information like you do. Ultimately it's up to us to get what we need. But at least we're informed about the choices. ????
Wow, nice job explaining these pedals. I especially liked the looper pedal explanation. You are the only one I know who actually recorded a "sampler" bit and explained the difference of looping vs a one time play back.
hi Aaron just want to thank you for all the very useful info ……I have bought many things for my acoustic tone based on your great reviews. keep em coming lad????
Hi I have a fishman earth blend pickup in a small bodied guitar. Always seem to be quiet in the mix with other musicians. Would the afx eq be able to give an overall and sufficient volume boost?. Thanks in advance
Awesome review, Aaron! I’m thinking about paring my Fishman Aura Spectrum DI to this AFX Acoustiverb. I play classical guitar (a nylon Takamine TC135SC) and I really feel the need for reverb. I’d like to add also a “boost” pedal… I think those are really missing in the Aura pedal.
Thanks again!
Do you use the fishman rare earth blend with the bass role switch up (towards the Low e String) or down?
Thanks, Aaron, excellent rundown. New subscriber.
That's one way. But the best way is metal zone to big muff to additional metal zone to ring modulator. And for you singer songwriters, anteres auto tune will sound great with this set up.
Absolutely first class guide to pedals for acoustic, think I might be tempted to purchase.
Very through, well done.
Hey Aaron, do you think the blender pedal would be useful with a Cole Clark system, or would it be redundant?
Great video Aaron. In the type of gigs I play, I play just as much acoustic as I do electric. For many years I've put money into all sorts of acoustic pedals. But when I got the HX Stomp all that changed allowing me to really dial in a great acoustic signal chain. I always felt I was chasing the tone I couldn't have. There is so much emphasis on the electric side of things that acoustic pedals and modeling have taken a back seat.
Outstanding rundown of these pedals – by far the best and most comprehensive on YouTube. Attention acoustic gear companies: Hire this guy to demo your products!
Great demos and information, Aaron. I use Reverb and EQ on every gig
Thanks for providing this information. Great video! I will check these out.
