It could sure be worth a try, you can program any beat into it you want. Have fun “Messin’ with it”. Mike

Thanks Maurice, luckily I enjoy practicing guitar, because I need a lot of it!!

Thanks Basarat, what is odd is none of the other pedal setups cause feedback, just that one called Vocal LOFI, with no change in the angle of the microphone or speaker. I need to study it a bit more. Thanks for your assist. Mike

It looks like you are using the acoustic setups for your electric?

That sounds like the right approach to me, once we got it right it lasted without any problems. Have fun with it!!

Thanks for the tip RL, I will look for a yellow wet erase marker to try! Mike

Hi Barlevy13, 1. Turn on both the amp and the Control X. 2. press the Bluetooth button on the back of the Control X. 3 hold down the pairing button on the back of the amp till the blue light on the front panel comes on, 4 check the lights on the Control X and you will see the Amp LED is lit blue. - then you are connected. Mike

@@MikeMesseswithMusic I didn’t ask how to connect (which i know long ago). I ask how to configure. Just like you can do with other spark amps with control x. There’s a missing button

@@barlevy13 The Spark Control X can be connected to the App as well as the Amp, so configuration is the same as all the other Spark Amps

@@MikeMesseswithMusic mm no. Check me out

Hi Richard, sorry to hear about this shortcoming of the Live amp. I know it only produces stereo when it is in the horizontal mode, but had no idea it does not process the stereo input when splitting the stereo onto the channel 3 and 4! For my purposes I guess it is good enough. I hope you find what you are looking for. Cheers. Mike

Thanks for the tips Matt!

Hi Cedric, thanks for your observation. One of the objectives was to see how it sounded on a Nylon guitar using the microphone. Shite is a polite way to put it!

@@MikeMesseswithMusic No disrespect intended towards you Mike, but it does sound horrible. Shite means horrible that's all, but sorry for any offence.

Thanks Fuzzball, you are so right, it is the only way I have been able to play that chord in this song!!

I hope it is working well for you. I found I needed to adjust the settings on the panel to get the best sound.

Thanks for your question. Yes there is a 1/8" Headphone jack that you can adapt to play this through an amp.

Glad you liked the finger style playing, the guitar is a solid body with sound cavities but without a sound hole all you are hearing when it is unplugged are the strings resonating. When it plugs into an amp with control pedals it can sound like a full bodied 12 string

Thanks

? Thanks ?

Thanks Robert!!

HI Denis, I fly on Star Alliance, a lot, like United and Lufthansa. I am usually allowed two pieces of carry on. Always good to check, because you do not want them to put the guitar in the belly of the plane. Happy Trails!

I have never found a fault in Guitar Tuna

Hi, I will get out the calipers and give you the measurement from the Guitar top to the top of the saddle on each e string, give ma a day

@@MikeMesseswithMusic Thanks.

Hi Tamara, I have an Acoustic Bass with a 1/4 in ,I will plug in both amps and let you know what results I hear

Hi David, the unit can be programmed for any beat you want, but I find programming it very difficult. I would not recommend this drum machine for your friend unless he has a passion for binary programming :)

I can assure you the sustain pedal works as shown in my video, I use it all the time.

Is there a question I can address for you?

The jacks are purely for pedal inputs. There is an audio mini plug for output, I have not had any luck using that, mine is distorted.

Sorry the delayed response- the Spark Go is amazing as a personal device. I have mounted it on my guitar strap and it turns my Portable Traveler Guitar into a self contained highly versatile player. But if you are not trying to be portable. The Spark Mini is a much bigger sound. I love them both, and I have even rigged them up on a splitter to play together, which is awesome!

@@MikeMesseswithMusic thank you very much !

You are right, to be honest I have not played with this enough to get the settings right, when I have some time I will see if I can fine tune it. It does have the controls!

Thanks for the question, I have not noticed the delay so it must be minimal

Thanks, will do!

Thanks, Go for it! I have bought my second Traveler now, I’m about to review the difference between the Ultralight Nylon and the Escape Mk3 Nylon . I the are great travelers!

@@MikeMesseswithMusic ohhh that’s so cool! I ended up buying one after your video. I’ve very happy about the purchase so far 😊

I will have a look at the tools to translate for future reviews - Gracias

Hi, Yes it does fit, in my suitcase, but it’s a big suitcase- I will take a measure and let you know- I just bought an Escapee Mk3 Nylon Traveler and it fits in the suitcase only when outside the case.

Yes it does!

Thanks for the visit

Glad you enjoyed it!

It was an absolute blast , the people I met were amazing!

Glad I could help! I love mine despite the quality issues, which were all eventually resolved.

Glad you enjoyed!

Happy Strumming, I hope you love it as much as I love mine.

@@sigursonharaldson62 Hello there! My Outdoor tenor uke made with carbon fiber polycarbonate neither feel nor sound plasticky at all. I take it camping and to the beach when I go. Sometimes, I leave it in the car and it can really get hot and dry here in east San Diego. It’s been subjected to extremes in which I don’t want my other ukuleles to be subjected to. So far, I haven’t noticed any defect or irregularity on the uke or decline in its performance musically. I also noted that it remains in tuned longer than some of my solid wood ukes. Sound projection is pretty good. I think the sound is full and bright. Actually, brighter than a typical tenor, maybe sounding something between a concert and tenor, which is fine by me.

@@sigursonharaldson62 Best wishes on your purchase! I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do. Just FYI, it did not come with a case but since wood is not involved in the making of this uke, you don’t have to worry about the lack of humidity or typical force/pressure that will damage wooden ukes.

Hi Domik, This unit has a microphone as well as pickups for steel strings. That is why I tested it on my Nylon Guitar. It provided some sound, but not adequate to use in performances. This is what I reportrd in my video. Regards, Mike

Thanks for the added wisdom JonBeckleyMorris! I really need to learn to play these harps.

@@MikeMesseswithMusic They are fun. I teach if you're interested. My email is in the channel description. Good luck!

Thanks again Mr.Chopemup, your videos are the only way I was able to make any real use out of the KR Mini, although the lack of setting the tempo accurately has caused me to move to a software app based approach,. Exploring several now, Do you have any recommendations? Best wishes, Mike

@@MikeMesseswithMusic the new korg kr11 . Looks promising. Coming out in spring.. rock drum machine. iOS

Glad I could help! I am findind now as I try to use this drum machine, the lack of a settable tempo is a real drag. I will hand it off to my grandkids to play with, and go to a software based drum solution for producing music. Best wishes. Mike

I have the SR 16, I had this about seven years ago. Actually, you can see the tutorial I did that has thousands of views. If you want a cool Battery beat machine. Find an old bass version of the Vox AC2. better sound. Better beats. But if you’re going for something more serious, get the alesis

I fully agree with Mr.Chopemup I am giving this KR Mini to my Grandson to play with, without the tempo control, and with the difficultie customizing new patterns, it does not suit my needs for a guitar training drum machine. Thanks for watching! Mike

@@MikeMesseswithMusic The new successor to the Mini, the Korg KR 11, has a display for tempo.

Glad I could help David, Enjoy!

Hi BM84! Welcome to the Guitar journey. I hope you will give yourself time to enjoy each step. the painful ones lead to joyous ones if you stick with it! The drum machine is a nice addition, it can inspire you to try different styles of playing. Happy picking! Mike

Hi Harmur80, The guitar doesn't sound awful, just not worth $1,000 in any way! To be clear I have learned more about Zager since making this video. I would not have recommended this to my friend had I known what I know now. Mike

@@MikeMesseswithMusicwhat did you learn??

@@jarredvandemark1646 They are a shady company that insinuates their guitars are made in the USA when, in fact, they are made overseas? And, they are terribly overpriced?

Thanks KingK1, It is nice to be appreciated. This video took some time, but I really enjoyed making it. Mike

Hi King1, I would love to know if you run into any quality issues with yours. Once I got it all working It has been great! Mike

Hi Dean, Thanks for the candid review. I recommended this guitar to my friend based on hype and false claims by the manufacturer about made in the USA. I want to be clear I do not recommend Zager.

You are welcome!
