Budget Piece of GOTY?! A sub $80 Capture/IR/Multi Effect, The Playwell Tank-G has my vote.
One Tank in a set up is really an affordable way to get into the deep world of "Captures" and "IR" cabs, but having TWO TANKS RULES! In this video, I get into the differences between my OG Tank and the new one from M-Vave's sister company, "Playwell."
I also have some more drive pedals captured for you to add to your Tank as a drive pedal or even as a preamp, if you activate an IR after it. All the "Tweak" instructions for drive pedals also applies to how to tweak for a preamp.

Awesome video my friend! Thank you for this. I'm thinking of buying the tone x one to use with my hx stomp as well. Have you tried to use the tone x just after the hx? Without using the send return of it? Greetings from Brazil!
@@joserodolfospin4756 hey man, thanks for watching! First off, I was wrong about the One having a stereo input. So that is something to note from the video. The main reason I run it in the loop is to use the effects like drive and comp before the One and then have my modulations and delays and such be after my One, like the 4 cable method. You absolutely can use all the effects from the Stomp straight into the One. Do make sure you watch your input level on the One!
@@DoubleDguitar thank you so much! I've just subscribed to your channel. I've heard a lot about the input trim on the tone x, that's one thing i'll need to learn about. I just use strats
@@joserodolfospin4756 thanks for subscribing! I really love using the ToneX and the Stomp together.
Do you have to use a computer or can you do all this with an android?

how do you get the files on the tank g from the computer. i have some presets i want to put on mine
@@canadianguitar-garrettont7368 you have to use the M-EFCS software. If you really want to pre-tweak, use the ANN software on the am2 files. But full presets can be done thru M-EFCS.
@@DoubleDguitar ok thanks awesome video by the way
@@canadianguitar-garrettont7368 thanks a ton!! Enjoy the files.
@@DoubleDguitar So i was trying and my Tank G does want to Link with the SincoAnn connection failed. any ideas i have the latest version of the software
@@canadianguitar-garrettont7368 hmm that is strange. First, try another cable. You may be using a USB power only cable. They have data versions and power versions, I learned this while wording some arcade cabs. If that doesn’t work, I would reach out to either Playwell or mvave and see if they have any tips beyond that.
Hi, just dowloaded and install latest M-EFCS v1.23 (said 1.22 on mvave website), and i can import AM2 files directly in M-EFCS (that is improved in 1.23). I understand that you can use ANN to tweak? NAM makes realy good captures, did you try to use the NAM wave file to capture? I can't find high quality captures from real pre-amps, do you know where i can find some?
@@alecse5478 hey man, unfortunately you have to use their ANN software to capture and convert. I have not tried to capture much more than some ToneX preamps out of the “One” pedal and some from the Boss IR2, with cabs off on all.
@@DoubleDguitar I downloaded .am2 files and import directly in M-EFCS. i don't understand what .AM2data bring. I hope we could find high quality preamps in the future cause blackbox use same models
@@alecse5478 the ones called “data” have usually been tweaked out in ANN and then exported. The am2 only file is the direct capture with no tweaks to it at all.

@@christopherdineros4496 you’re welcome! 🤙🏻
The sound in this video sounds like the IR is not on. It's just a very harsh sounding guitar tone. The exact same tone I get with any of my amp in a box plugged in directly before adding the IR. I know this unit doesn't sound like that because another video's it actually sounds like an amplifier but in this it sounds like just the preamp with no IR.
@@yervah9647 I am using the very untweaked preamp files right from the capture. A lot of people ask about the IR on the video. I capture them without an ir, so you can use whichever one you would like.
Thanks for making this video and showing details. I'm curious why you are not using a re-amp box on the audio interface's output that goes to the pedal input. The audio interface output would typically be line level, and the pedal input would typically be instrument level. I am used to capturing audio with NAM and Audio Assault's Snapshot Maker, and these require a re-amp box to get the interface's output signal to the correct level going into the pedal.
@@MichaelMyersDoverPA hmm interesting, I am thinking they make some adjustments in the software to allow us to use just an interface?? I am able to adjust output and input levels at the interface, as well as at the pedal. But you raise a good point. I followed their instructions, but this would be worth comparing the differences. Thanks for watching, lots of other files in my other tank vids.
@@DoubleDguitar Can you point me to their capture instructions? Finding instructions is proving to be quite difficult. Thanks!

@@stephenadimonye1772 hey man, I don’t think this would be what you would want. This works more with traditional effects and amp sounds and doesn’t have the midi type of conversion you would be looking for. It sounds like you want to look into a midi set up, but I’m not certain about a good instrument interface to suggest.
I have the cube baby and the tank G. I really like both of them. Great budget modeler pedals. No need to get a line 6.
I tried Mooer, Valeton, NUX, Line 6. I like these more. Easier to use, less tweaking, good default tones, 4 switches for live mode (always my preference), but can still do 4 presets as well if you want to.

Is there a way to add cmpression as I play country?
@@Bjx-is8sq they do not have a comp slot or effect, but it is possible to set up your comp the way you like it and capture it. Once captured, you wouldn’t be able to adjust the ratio, or actual comp level, but you could adjust gain according to the capture print. And of course adjust the level and three bands of tweakable eq. So, it is possible. I have not captured a comp yet, since there are so many variables for a persons taste. But you could use a comp pedal before it and just dial in a nice tone at the amp and ir spots, then add effects from the tank to taste.
@@DoubleDguitar Thanks I have the Playwell model. I am a new subscriber I will watch your videos and try to learn Thanks
@@Bjx-is8sq hey thank you for subscribing! The capture method has some new options, and only works on a PC with a decent gpu. But they also have some sort of online option now to help with the process. I would say to also check out the M-Vave channel for more on how they do that. I think through Google.

Too bad things such as this are putting Americans out of work. This is a copy of keeley caverns even down to the graphics. It doesn’t sound as good as the keeley though.
@@MrShaneConaway I wouldn’t say it is putting anyone at Keeley out of work. I do think the artwork and layout is beyond what I would normally accept as a “clone” pedal and the DemonFX stuff is borderline, and have had to change designs after some companies went after them. I prefer the Mosky method, when it comes to cloning, “don’t try to replicate the look, make a good pedal”. And I think many big pedal companies have started by cloning circuits and moving that direction. Clearly not the DemonFX goal lol. Hey thanks for watching 🤙🏻
@@DoubleDguitar thanks for the reply! I used to work for keeley electronics. I saw what it does to these companies first hand when cloning really took off. The one good thing about it was it forced Robert to stay on his toes again with new stuff. You wouldn’t believe the mind of that guy. Hundreds and hundreds of hours in R&D ,testing etc. He pays his employees well too. I just seems like a shame for all that work to be stolen . Plus , children might be making the clones. There’s no way to stop it though . The machine is already in play. Peace brosef.

In this video, I get into the differences between my OG Tank and the new one from M-Vave's sister company, "Playwell." I also have some more drive pedals captured for you to add to your Tank as a drive pedal or even as a preamp, if you activate an IR after it. All the "Tweak" instructions for drive pedals also applies to how to tweak for a preamp. 🎸All links are non-affiliate🎸 Check out the Playwell Tank-G on Amazon here: www.amazon.com/Playwell-Electric-Effector-Recording-connection/dp/B0CPDYLXL6 All Software and Updates are here: www.cuvave.com/appdownload A good online manual is here: device.report/manual/11956576 Google drive with AM2 folders here: Pedals Tweaked: drive.google.com/drive/folders/17L9x6WR0GpdwT-tqbRbYmXwyy6Ba66at?usp=drive_link Raw AM2 "UNTWEAKED" files: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ScjlSuSeJtuFh6Ov0U81tuhv2l9z5HOE?usp=drive_link Preamp Style Pedals Captured: drive.google.com/drive/folders/127kEUTx4Y1BRkaGcMvMFTDmwMIQM20ED?usp=drive_linkdrive.google.com/drive/folders/127kEUTx4Y1BRkaGcMvMFTDmwMIQM20ED?usp=drive_link
If I were to plug a drive pedal into one of my Tech 21 amp modelers, would the Tank G be able to profile them together as one item, or would I have to profile them separately?
@@user-up2yz7tj2l you can profile stacked items, for sure!
@DoubleDguitar Great, thanks. I bought a Tonex 1 and was so excited at the possibilities, but I'm kinda at a dead end right now. I haven't been able to get past the product manager. It says my username and password are incorrect. I don't understand the logic there, because I created those. I asked for help and they said tech support would contact me in a few days. Ha! It's been about 2 months now and no help. Thus isn't the first trouble I've had with IK. I have their Philharmonik and Sampletank softwares that SOUND GREAT, but eventually require reauthorization. UGH. It's frustrating!
@@user-up2yz7tj2l oh man! That is frustrating. Are you on the fb group for Tonex? I see a lot of people with similar issues and they can get you straightened out.
@DoubleDguitar I glanced at that group but didn't see my issue addressed. I probably need to look at it closer. Thanks.
@@user-up2yz7tj2l you got it and good luck!
Do you know if this same process is available with the M Vave Blackbox?
@@user-up2yz7tj2l I am almost positive it is. They use the same processing and software. I have held off on the black box, in fact the Playwell Tank G video will be active in a few minutes from my reply. I walk through the most recent software in that video. And some more captured for you.
I went on the Blackbox FB group and asked what preamps are available and if the profiling is doable and Ehrosmith only answered the preamp question. 🤔
@@user-up2yz7tj2l curious here….lol. I need to know this info now. Keep me posted, this may be the breaker in my decision to hold off
For some reason its seems that we can't hear the irs in your video. Its just sound like sims without ir
@@gazjo85 hey man, if you mean when you download them and try them yourself, yes I didn’t capture a cabinet while doing the Boss or the Tonex captures so that you can use the Tank G’s IR slot to add your own. I have the one I used in the folder marked IR from the video in the link in the description.
@@DoubleDguitar no no I mean in your demo. When you are playing its sound just like there is no IR at all.
Exemple at 9.30 , for me its a preamp sound without IR
@@gazjo85 it’s on.
@@DoubleDguitar ah 😅 weird
How do you think its gonna sound with a jazz chorus 120 using the 4CM????
@@nicolaslazo8992 it should sound really really good! In fact, check the output settings and compare the line out to the setting that is preset for that amp. 🤙🏻
@@DoubleDguitar thanks for responding 🤟🏽
@@nicolaslazo8992 you got it, enjoy the set up! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Ok, ya should come to texas and help me make some patching with my GX-100. I will toss a couple ribeyes on the grill and can have your beer of choice on hand lol. How can anyone turn that down? 😇. Gonna try and get this set up with my Blackstar Club 40 Tube amp.
@@Robbie28 aw man! That sounds amazing! Wish I was closer and I would take you up on that.
May God bless you who stopped at this comment and your whole family, may you prosper in all areas
I just set out learning Guitar Few months ago. So I've been thinking of getting a multi fx pedal, Curiosity drove me Into this video So I just ordered this tank G. My fingers are acrossed till it arrives. I just downloaded the files you uploaded in anticipation to tinker with the device thanks man. Lagos Nigeria
@@stephenadimonye1772 that’s awesome! I’m glad you found the video and hope you enjoy the guitar playing journey! Let me know what you think of the Tank!
@@DoubleDguitar I haven't received the ordered Tank G yet. it will arrive in approximately 14 days from now. China - Lagos.
My little local shop has this one or the pink panda one . I can't remember. Rabbit holes! Lol I did like that iset plexion you demoed.
@@brotherhawk3228 lol the rabbit holes run deep, with guitar gear! Yeah man, that Plexion is really good, esp at that price.
@DoubleDguitar At least we can gain some knowledge and have fun in th8s rabbit hole . Worse scenario is we have some decorations for the man cave lol
@@brotherhawk3228 clearly I am all about a well decorated man cave 🤣
My local shop would try to sell it for about 80$,,,,never understood why so many people are all about mom and pop stores,,from where I've been seeing they price gouge like maniacs.
@@DoubleDguitar I can see that . I like your cave ! I'm waiting for the rain to stop so I can start working on mine . Bought a little piece of land 3 months ago and acquired a shipping container with it .
If I have a harmonizer pedal can we make it profile to tank g sorry for my English?
@@ianitang8409 unfortunately we can only capture gain based pedals, no harmony or time based stuff. Hopefully one day soon! No worries on your English. I appreciate you watching and asking. 🤘🏻
Hello Double D, I am glad Excellent performance by you. I am a little bit off, but I really liked the sound of the boss gx-100 you created. I would like you to use your great taste to create the sound of yngwie malmsteen with boss gx-100. I am Japanese and cannot write English, so I use a translator. Please allow me to apologize for the poor writing due to this. Keep up the good work on your youtube activities.
@@user-xz8eu4lx6p hey there and thank you so much! Very kind words. I do not have the GX100 anymore, not because it isn’t a great unit, but I have been using a ToneX One and an HX Stomp for my main digital board. I know it can be tough to get that Yngwie tone, try a Marshall type preamp and instead of a Tube Screamer in front, try the Centaur drive. Keep the gain lower at the amp and use the Centaur with the gain around 40-50%. Thank you for watching and I am glad you found the channel. 🤘🏻
@@DoubleDguitar Thanks for the reply! I followed your instructions to set it up and it sounded good! Thank you so much!
@@user-xz8eu4lx6p awesome!! If you are using a cabinet IR, that would be where I really start to tweak that core tone. Add a little delay for some parts, a touch of plate reverb and you should be really close! Have fun!!
Dude - iSet continues to impress. I dig it man. Rock so so Hard bro! \m/ >.< \m/
@@robertjones5669 yeah, they have stepped up their game with these new drives and the Plexion. Really good stuff, I think. Thanks my bro 😎🤘🏻🤙🏻
Yuk

I bought the cheapest I could find off the auction site in July 2024. Just opened it. With mine, 1/16" hex wrench fit much tighter than the 1.5mm one. (And the two screws on the back were torqued down--it took some effort to get them out.) Mine had the foam installed on the top of the battery. Also, down by the battery connector on the board yours shows V08 and mine had V10. I assume those are board version numbers. I haven't looked at upgrading the firmware or anything else yet, but this thing is pretty cool.
@@jimmcclanahan oh interesting about the version numbers, thanks for point that out! I just got the Playwell Tank G for review and will look for that. Make sure to grab the preamp files in my folders! Thanks for watching and letting me know about the V#
Thanks for the video ! Did you adjust or compensate for the SEND/TETURN levels? ToneX is very sensitive to input level. I have the GT-1000 and noticed slight difference in tone VS connecting the guitar directly to the ToneX. Your thought?
@@BesharALAzzawi I agree about the ToneX input. I make sure to have my main drive on when I check the input level of the ToneX One. In case any extra output happens to clip it.
@@DoubleDguitar thanks 🙏
Can you get the dual delay set up to play a 4th note and a dotted 8th at the same time?
@@theskyisgrae it’s not quite described that way in the manual, but there is a setting that has that feel. I think around 11 o’clock range was that, plus the tap tempo with a little tweak to the time got me close to the U2 feel. Just not quite as precise as you may want, if you do a lot of that.
@@DoubleDguitar heads up for you and anyone else that happens to be looking for the same thing - Mine arrived today and you can get a consistent dotted 8th note and quarter note combo by pointing the parameter dial between the A and the M of the parameter text. Really pleased it can do this!
@@theskyisgrae nice!! Thanks for leaving that here for reference. 🤘🏻enjoy the Elemental!!
Scoop the mids. I'll try that today .I'm just now getting a chance to play with my dual gun since I bought it. Nice demo !
@@brotherhawk3228 thanks, bro! I dig it a lot!
Those were some trippy sounds man. that one that added distortion to the reverb echo caught me as well.
@@robertjones5669 haha right? The lofi setting was a liiiiitle weird. Thanks bro. 🤙🏻🤘🏻
I love the color! and the price is super reasonable. Thanks for reviewing.
@@julietspaintings thanks Juliet, almost like the pedal sounds the color 😊
Cool, funky lil box, thx!
@@JiMiBluEyeZ yeah man! Some cool sounds. Thanks buddy.
