Bought one of these a year ago – and played a few gigs with it; just got the new version – Tank-G – and that's amazing!
Can those 3 buttons be 3 different modulation effects?
I need something like this but with a compressor. I think it sounds great however.
I will say I don’t like that it doesn’t have a bass/treble/mid for the amp but you could always pair this with an EQ pedal
The slightly bigger one is $79 and has xlr out. Can’t go wrong with either one
Absolutely brilliant! Getting one ASAP!
Can you crank it up?
The most common question we ask ????
People often go for brand. This pedal is one of my favourite. Cheap and it gives good tone. The distortion effect out of the box is very usable for rock rhythm part. Pair with a nice booster or overdrive pedal and you can get a nice lead tone. This is definitely worth buying.
As well as also being an audio interface, the preamps make great boosts when used as such. Just turn the tone and gain down. It would be super easy to make a corrective EQ IR to put in it, too.
I have one of those duct taped to the back of my 56 Les Paul.
But here’s the thing… Isn’t the kind of sound coming out of this device. what perhaps MOST young rockers are looking for??? Well, it is for THIS 74 year old rocker!! Haw haw haw!!
After watching a bunch of YT vids yesterday, I RUSHED to purchase one of these ”Cube Babies"!! How could I miss with it?? You simply can’t, for the little money spent! And, I’m also here to say, I love The Studio Rats vids!! Great stuff!
Good review. Think I'll buy one. Not risking much…..
I've had one for quite a while now, it is pretty great. We rehearse with headphones on, with electronic drums, for that it is perfect, for making recordings as well. I once tried it through a PA in our previous rehearsal space, it got a bit lost in deed, as you guys supspected, so I stopped trying, that's not why I bought it anyway.
Some of them tones are great i would like one
How do u record it????
Why don’t you use a clean sound so you can hear the effects? It’s all about distorted guitars with you guys!! ????
I have one. The high end buzz makes it unusable for anything but practice. I'm surprised you didnt mention it
I watched several videos about this pedal and I just ordered one off of Temu for $35.00 US. I'm not a big effects guy. I use a touch of reverb and Chorus for my clean tone, That same clean tone with delay for one song, and a good Marshall sounding distortion.
Donde esta enchufada. Por favor ayúdame
I'm stunned with the sound quality of inexpensive gear as of late. I ordered a $20 "Movall JFET High Gain" from Temu, just randomly. Once received, it proved to be one of the best dirt boxes I've ever heard. It's two distortion modes in one stomp, even. And my cheap digital "Flamma FX 100" sounds…Better..? Than my Line 6? In some ways. The amp models which have high gain available do this uncanny thing which made my really cheap Glarry strat copy with weedy single coils, sound like I was playing a git which had hot humbuckers. It seems to be part of the algorithm. Unless I'm just wrong in the head, lol? But I could swear it does. I've now collected a few more various efx and dirt stompboxes from them, and none so far have been disappointing. I'm this close to declaring that Temu and their like are "revolutionary" or something. Man, the devs in China have done thorough homework. I'll try to shut up now, lol. Nice demo, helpful and informative; thx for posting this. Greets from Texas.
This product is nuts eh. I'd buy it alone for the IR-loader for that great price if the rest sucked holy cwap
If you know what you’re doing with EQ on a PC, you can bake that into an IR, and put that into the pedal. It’s an annoying way to EQ, but you can for sure make it work live that way.
Compressor is honestly the most sad omision, especially for clean tones, it could do wonders. The quality of the reverb is also a shame, and the fact that it has only 3 presets is a bummer. But honestly, I think they nailed the core of it. Decent enough drives, IR loading is just insane, good delay, has reverb, phaser and chorus for if you truly need it, and it’s so small, it fits nicely in the guitar bag itself. For sure my main rehearsal pedal moving forward
The IR/Amps sound great. Make me sad that zoom didn't do something like this in their lines of affordable product.
They have awesome system for effect config, the screen, the button, way better navigation and configuration but anemic IR
I agreez it's fun, but there's a problem with mine. Sometimes, when i turn it off, it just wont turn on for some time:/// it happened to me twice during band rehesal, first time probably due to low power level, but second time i just don't know why did it happened:/
So fun thing for home, maybe not the greatest for rehesals
Just ordered one. You guys are a great team. Cheers from WAY across the pond in Cali!
apparently if u wish to change the rev, chorus, etc you need to do it in the software
