- In this video I go through the Playwell Tank G guitar pedal. The Playwell model is essentially the same pedal as the MVave pedal, just with a different skin. In this tutorial I show how it works, how to write patches, edit patches, how to make your own, and lastly a quick demo of some sounds made with it. I also talk about what I like about it and what I don't.

Thanks for the review. I have the M-Vave Tank-G (M-Vave, Cuvave and Playwell are all the same company) and here's a few things I would add: 1. If you're in live mode (quick press the B&C buttons on any preset), you can easily change effects settings. Unless you're using a lot of presets on a gig, you can adjust them during setup at the venue. 2. It works well with the M-Vave Chocolate MIDI pedal, which gives you four more footswitches and more ability to change presets. 3. The big thing is that M-Vave has released software to profile your OD pedals and amps which can be imported to the AMP section. It's no Kemper, but it gives you even more sound options.
Es decir que si compro el TANK-G Playwell purple, me funcionaría el software de M-Wave? gracias!
@@CharlyGeorge - I have the M-Vave Tank-G, but other Playwell products use the same Cuvave/M-Vave app, so I expect the Tank-G would as well.
Grestest review I have seen for this product.. cheers
Thank you for checking it out! Cheers!
I'm having one delivered tomorrow, I feel very confident now, thanks!
Nice! Enjoy it!
Did you get your Play Well pedal yet getting one Friday
GREAT REVIEW! THANKS SO MUCH!!! 😊👍
Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks a lot for this great review 👍
Thanks for this video, realy wel explained
Company Grip, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!
Thanks for checking it out! Cheers!
Great video！
Cheers!
The BT is to play music or backing tracks. That way you can play along. Should have been in the manual though.
The best review of this pedal. I prefer used in live mode like independ pedals
Thank you. And, yes. Me too!
Its also a Profiler now. You should check that out. I have a full demo video on my YT channel..See you guys!
btw if u already got ur tank g please open check if there are protection pad for the battery the battery may damage by the fourth swithch solder joint
If you go into live mode from a preset you can adjust the preset then hold the button to save
Got the tank B love it. Ordered the Tank G from China, takes 7 days but only £47.69! Bargain. Auto wah would be nice to have.
That is a good deal! Agreed on the Auto-Wah. Would have been a cool feature. Thanks for checking out the video!
Hi Ben, superb review thus far. I'm not quite through it, but I love toys like this. I bought one using your affiliate link. Great deal $79.99 less a 15% coupon. Amazing. The last cheapo multi effects pedal I bought, a Joyo of some sort went south. I love messing around with stuff like this, and TBH, this one for the money kinda impressed the heck out of me. I truly enjoy your non nonsense reviews. Great job, cheers from an old Blues guy in Chicago. Thanks for the review and the link.
Thank you for checking out the video and clicking the link too! Also - I appreciate the kind words. Hope you enjoy the pedal, it’s been good for what I’ve been using it for. Cheers!
Thanks for another excellent review. Did the noise gate do anything? It sounded a bit noisey from here across the internet.
The noise gate does some work, but I didn’t use it much. I just don’t like them very much. The guitar itself has a bit of noise being a single coil, but I’ve used the pedal with my humbucker guitars and it wasn’t as buzzy. Thanks for checking out the video!
I’d use this on a stand at hand level for live performances
That’s not a bad idea, to be honest! 😂
Thanks for checking out the video! 🤘🏽
Very nice review! Thanks! There is a link in the manual for downloading the correct PC/Mac app program (M-EFCS), as well as a firmware upgrade for the unit. The Bluetooth is for sending audio via BT from your wireless device to the pedal for the "Band in a box" - "Play with yourself" setup. The USB is for charging, powering, app control and having a direct digital connection (PnP)to your computer (44.1K/24 bit), thus allowing you to bypass your external USB audio interface and not adding more stages of A/D/A conversions to the signal path.
To understand this pedal further, check out reviews and manuals and tutorials for the CubeBaby product. It's the same engine with different bells and whistles.
If you want stereo, buy a second one! I have five Babys for this, running through a programmable mixer with auto pan set to different rates for each pedal. Crazy? Yes! But they are practically free!
Nice! Hopefully they updated the manual then. Mine was devoid of any website info. That’s good news though! Thanks for checking it out!
I just wished they put an effects loop on this unit and this will be a beast
IRs were off during the preamp playthrough making them sound wrong
Can you use the tank-b as a guitar effects pedal, been bought it by mistake and was wondering whether it was worth keeping?
I haven’t used the Tank B. I’m sure you could use it, but I don’t know how the fx are.
Thanks for checking the video out!
@@CompanyGrip thanks for getting back to me. I'll give it a go and keep my fingers crossed. Many thanks and greetings from Liverpool, England. Keep up the good work with your boss videos.
the bluetooth is for guitar backing track so u can play it
Definitely turn on a cab sim before selecting the amp!
I wanted to add that for the $80 shipped this unit cost me i am extremely satisfied with it. I use it as at home headphone rig and love that i can get a Marshall stack
tone at 2:00 in the morning and no one knows i am even playing in the house!
Hi! I just want to ask if this playwell tank g can copy the m-vave tank g IR and Cabs? Or can change the stock IR and Cabs for this playwell tank g?
That’s a great question. You know, I honestly don’t know. Maybe someone who has both units can chime in?
Thanks for checking it out.
Okay because i buy this playwell tank g I hope you can make a preset like clean tone drive,overdrive and distortion or a good preset for this playwell tank g thanks and God bless 😊
Do you know the difference between this purple unit and the green unit? They seem to be exactly the same.
Hi, it’s my understanding that the Green original is the exact same model but from another distributor. I’ve also heard it has better documentation. Cheers!
@@CompanyGrip ok Thx
you should try its profiling features they are pretty bad ass... also more content for you 😉
True! I just need to find software or an app that works for it!
@@CompanyGrip i learned how to use sincoann from the Brazilians making content about it
Great review. Bluetooth let's you jam along with music on your phone.
Using the BT you should be able play audio on your phone and it goes into the amp so you could use it for say a backing track.. that is the way my Cube Baby works. I thought the app was useless when i tried using it. Supposedly using the app you're supposed to be able to record to your phone via BT or something but i never got this to work either. Nice stuff though for the price IMO, with lots of modifications/options that can be utilized using the new ANN software. But thats greek to me Lol
Thanks for the info and for checking out the video. Cheers!
Bluetooth is there for those phones that no longer have audio jacks, ie iPhones.
Is this the same as the sansamp pedal that looks the same
It might be. Haven’t looked into the Sansamp.
I have one. Every time I turn it on it shows number 8. Can’t change the number. Wtf?
I’m not sure. That is strange behavior. Does it freeze up on that or is it just in bank 8?
maybe to connect to a blutooth speaker??
Possibly! Unfortunately, my documentation doesn’t explain it at all. 😂
Thanks for checking it out!
Bro what a difference mvave with yuimer?
Don’t know. Never seen a Yuimer.
True bypas?
Don’t believe so, sorry! Thanks for checking it out!
Without IR's features, this is nothing
play a song on your phone it will play on the Tank
