Can the Radar power headphones? I have an AC Tone and Sonicake IR pedal but get nothing out of my headphones when plugged into the output of the IR. I guess this is because a simple IR box just colours the signal without powering it.
hx stomp
I had a UAFX Ruby and my board was pretty quiet Front of the House. Do I need to add a DI box to an Amp Modeller Pedal?
I can't believe how good the Line 6 box sounded, it had that amazing woody characteristing of a matchless. I've been in denial about these for some time, perhaps I'm really in need to trying a few out. Thanks!
Good video, very nice playing
Old video but I've been trying to find out why I need an amp sim pedal for about 5 hours. first video that explains why and has an audio demonstration. Thank you!
When your playing direct live do you need to go into a DI box from the amp/cab simulator?
I actually love those DI tones without an amp he was playing at first. So grimey and disgusting sounding. Truly incredible
I put a multy effect board threw a line aray pa. & sounds Terrible. But threw the valve amp .of cause is great. Any ideas
Many thanks for this video. I own a Blackstar Amped1 (a complete amplifier in a pedal), and I'm satisfied with it when I use it at home with headphones. I tried two times to connect it to a mixer using the onboard cab simulation XLR output. When used in this way, the tone of the guitar is not bad, but the overall sound is thin, too soft, and there's no attack. The output is mono, but the mixer sends a sort of dual mono signal to all the speakers, resulting in something similar to a stereo sound, good for clean, but not so good for crunch and rock (the sound is very wide but thin). Using the provided Blackstar software I removed (from the cab rig simulation) the simulation of the room, and this contributed to having a less wide sound, with some minor improvements. On the mixer the EQ is flat, and the owner of the studio did not find anything strange (a part of the confirmation the signal is split in two mono signals sent to the two speakers), but he's not an expert in this kind of setup. Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong (I had the same feeling in the same studio also using a Torpedo CabM)? Thanks
all these TOYS are good for running direct yes, but wont give you any stage volume to hear your rig. If the venue has floor monitors in front of each musician (guitarist) AND they can pipe your guitar rig sound through those then yup direct is cool but still limited. Best is still old school with your guitar, an actual worthy amplifier, and a real speaker cabinet with a mic in front that is plugged into the main sound system pa. All this gear is created for alot of folks that dont wanna spend money on a real guitar rig and/or lug around heavy gear and have to actually take the time to set it all up on a real stage. I found this video because i was doing research on cab sim pedals for my studio rig so i watched this. Great information tho…i did learn some tricks !!! And also, I would just use a good effects amp/cab floor processor unit like a boss, line 6 or digitech or a zoom. Plug and play…
Great video!
I'm new to direct recording so pardon the remedial questions…
With the Neunaber Iconoclast, I see that you paired it with an overdrive (Blues Driver and Tumnus).
– Are these overdrives used in addition to the Strymon overdrive at the beginning of the chain?
– What is the purpose of the Blues Driver and Tumnus when you already have an overdrive in the chain?
Thanks!
I genuinely think the JOYO sounded better than the Strymon!
iridium on a 'punch' (marshal jtm45?) setting with Fender guitars… That's the tone.
My buddy uses a Di for his live Double Bass. Sounds better than using a mic amp setup. He uses a Behringer preamp Di.Very cheap. Under 40 bucks
1. How does monitor size affect your tone?
2. Why wouldn't you want an amp?
3. Isn't that part of the whole appeal?
You aren't wearing headphones in the video. I presume we at home are hearing the units plugged straight into your DAW but there in the studio what hardware are you listening to the amp sounds on?
The funny thing is that most of the audience wouldn't care if you went to the distortion pedal straight into the DI box
Great info, even 2 years later. I feel like now days you’ll almost always get a great sound, it will come down to other preferences like size, options and price. What a great time we live in!
Thanks for all the great advise I’m using a mad professor super black as my preamp into my strymon flint into a radial direct drive cabs sim/di then to front of house .
Great vid but would have love to hear more variety of tone like jazz, funk, even metal.
Very useful! Can you clarify the chain? Is this the connection order: FX pedals (overdrive, reverb etc.) -> preamp -> IR loader -> DI box -> Audio Interface?
I haven't used an amp in years the pedal I can absolutely not do without is my boss eq it works on any sound source I plug into it pretty much acts as a preamp and colors mysound anyway I would like it when I was young my first guitar amp was my parents Panasonic stereo system
My question is to what does the red box house connected? In a home set up. Speakers?
Great clip. Really helped me with the various types of these devices. I have several of the Joyo amp series. Some of the old Digitech pedals have a cab sim d.i out for anyone looking for other pedals that do this.
So will these work correctly with my JBL PA?
This is an excellent video to help lots of gigging guitarist who are great players but needs help on the tech side of things…hello everyone and welcome to the wonderful world of no amp direct connection/front of house ????
Iconoclast and RedBox sound the warmest. Not sure how much of that is because they used different preamps, though…
What are the foot switches on the HX Stomp at 16:13?
So for the Strymon Iridium do you still have to use a DI box? Or can I just plug it direct into the PA?
The video I've been looking for :')
