Mick here. I'm currently travelling from the US - this description will be more full as soon as a I get home and have chance to do it. In the meantime....
This video covers our introduction to the Universal Audio OX Amp Top Box. The short story is that we went to Real World Studios in Wiltshire to record a couple of tracks, to try to get a sense of how OX - www.uaudio.com/hardware/ox.html - performs in a, ahem, real-world recording scenario.
Part 2 of this video has much more on the recording part and our reactions, including the finished tracks (that aren't finished yet!).
This video looks more generally at OX as a product and what it does.
You purchase the OX from our preferred retailers.

I had the pleasure of asking Josh Smith, given how loud and dynamic he likes to play, how he manages playing at home. He answered that he has his own studio and goes as loud as he wants.
When I asked him what he would advise for people lacking their own studio he said the Ox was the best option hands-down of any load box/attenuator he's used.
Maybe Josh has some stocks in the Ox.
Game changer box right there.. We love it..
I love Dan's face and hand gestures when he gets excited over something!
I thought Cone Cry happens when a kid drops their ice cream.
I actually got misty eyed when Mick started playing Lenny. Man that sounded so sweet.
I'm sold! This is what I've been waiting for! It combines all the benefits of load boxes. It's reactive so the amp responds like it's plugged into a cabinet, it allows mic models and cab models for live and recording, it attenuates...finally!!
New favourite That Pedal Show video. So excited to try this live.
Juuuuust killer! What a sound! It is a really incredible feature. Congrats guys, what an awesome show, as usual.
Not only does it sound great but it looks awesome, like a piece of furniture. It's an easy way for you to get gear in the living room without the Mrs noticing
too bad it is manufactured in communist china by sweatshop cheap labor and not made in the USA like other power attenuators. I would never pay over 1k for commie chicom made crap like this product
She notices.
@@GuitarsAndSynths Don't be a dick to the Chinese.
@@GuitarsAndSynths lol sinophobia 😂
The possibilities of incorporating this into the FOH mix are incredible. Need! Great episode guys.
+Buck and Evans cheers mate, hope you’re great ;)
and bringing it to a studio, the isolation and control would be great. Plus you could work in the control room.
I've seen the OX all over the place and this video explained it best so far, so thank you!. Looking forward to trying it out on my own amps.
The music that is made in that room is second to none. Yet another great episode. Thanks guys!
+Simon Allaway you’re welcome Simon :)
I want to let you know how much I appreciate your guys show. I stumbled upon your videos a year ago and now I never miss a show. You guys do great work and obviously enjoy what you do. That is so refreshing to see on YT. Keep up the great work. Great playing from both of you on all the vids too! I love my D&M drive BTW. Thanks.
Dan
Thank you Dan - very kind of you to say! Great to have you on board. :0)
This is a must buy, thank you for the great video and info, cheers!!!
I don't think I've ever gone so quickly from "why is this so expensive?" to "how is this not more expensive?"
Exactly!
Pricey but worth every penny
overpriced made in china garbage is what it really is- I'd rather buy American or Japanese products- the new Waza Boss attenuator looks better
Exactly what I was thinking dude
Love the lighting, sound and vid quality in this video! Cheers!
This is awesome! Love the OX of course but this is a great vid! Well done guys!!
This is killer stuff! Love it. Very informative. Love the room mic... The looks on your faces when you heard the room mic... priceless!
Sounds great and is an amazing idea.
Been looking for this type of product for some time!! Great work guys!
You guys are the absolute best. I love this show.
+npinero1 ah, cheers mate :)
That sounds fantastic, and the uses can be great. I hope to see a bit more from you guys about it.
Yassss! Nice to see you guys dipping your toes in the digital pool. :)
What an intro! Incredible playing
I absolutely was thinking "there are loads of products that do that already." I've been recording like that for years :)
Dan - thats awesome!! man i love your reactions!! this sounds awesome!
one of the only pieces of kit in years for guitars that pro's and regular Joe's will want/need.
Man, that seems to be a solution for so many things I've struggled with, awsome!
+Sören Jordan it’s certainly interesting :)
That is awesome. I like the fact that it gives you knobs to twist linked to bluetooth controlling the computer. Pretty cool.
Awesome product! Great demo! And for the price it’s amazing. This is the year of the ox! I would love to see this as a wet dry or better yet a stero split wet dry wet setup. Cheers guys!
That face that UA guy pulls after micks spiel that ends in "bear hat". Thank you for leaving it in.😂
Just awesome!!
Great when you dialed the amp back to around 5. Great spot for a deluxe reverb. The front of house stuff is what is most intriguing to me.
Sounds killer 👌 Love when it gets fuzzy ✌
FilippaQ Rude
0:36 and 0:48 is fuzzy to me, and I like that :)
Good for you Fillipa :) All you need is fuzzy.
*fizzy
I'm very glad that you guys are beginning to cover this area of guitar. For me this stuff (impulse responses, DAWs, DIs, miking, recording, studio anything etc) is baffling. Predominantly because of the recent advancements in the technology, last time I used a DAW was 15 years ago, and any recording since is either a digital 4 track or a phone camera, so at a loss. But there's also the fact that I check out when these things are brought up or anyone begins explaining, just turns into the voice of adults in Charlie Brown cartoons. So this OX box seems like a very useful and relatively simple thing despite having no idea how it works or really what it is and this is my second time watching this. Uphill battle but keep doing videos like this to see if my addled brain can glean any useful information.
Thanks for that Sam. Ever since the advent of the smartphone and tech becoming genuinely part of life rather than a distraction from it, stuff is just so much easier to use. As for OX, it does two things. One: it’s an attenuator so you can drive you amp hard amp but be able to have it at a low volume. Two: it digitally models speakers, mics and physical spaces so you can record direct to a recording machine without the need for any physical mic, speaker cab or room. Hope that helps.
Suppose I should contextualize that a bit, pro audio recording equipment is to me what amp model names are to Dan seemingly. Like Marshall 1987X=Plexi, UA Neve 1176 compressor plug-in app= compression, if that makes any sense. I get the broad strokes but the minutia details don't sink in.
I love my OX absolute game changer .. I wish it was rack mountable .. but it’s a freekin awesome bit of kit
oh my gosh, sounds so freakin' good
This is art.
You guys got it to sound pretty damn close to the mic sound! amazing!
13:06 Dan & Mick look like children that just walked into a toy store and were told, "Take whatever you want!"
Seriously saving for one of these. Expensive yes, but invaluable, as I see it, for a modern working, Recording musician. This is the middle ground for the big valve, analog guys, who need a solution in Recording and varying volume setups
This is nothing short of amazing (digital) tech! The idea is fairly straightforward, but the implementation is impressive. Plus, it sounds so dynamic. The practical (studio) applications seem to be virtually limitless.
Side note: I bet this takes shorter time dialing in a usable tone relative to a fully modelled digital rig.
It is good and has great features. The iPad app is a big plus and the fact that it is a one stop solution. I listened to it with good headphones and at least to my ears there was a clearly noticeable loss in tone from the amp mics to the direct recording. For similar money one gets a Fryette powerstation and a Torpedo CAB that together provide comparable functionality and - at least based on what I heard here - sound better. But I guess the point is that with that emerging technology one finds super convenient solutions to play our beloved tube amps at their sweet spot at home, live or in the studio with no volume or interference issues and that is great. Thanks for the episode!
I got mine last week and it's been a game changer for me. Being able to use my amp and my pedals and get great tone at bedroom level is incredible. Harmonious family life has been restored! The line out and headphone with the cab simulation is mind blowing but it's so easy to tweak. No way would I ever have access to all those cabs and as Dan and Mick said you just lose in inspiring tone. Recording into my DAW is a doddle. You expect it to be good because it's UAD. This is my first bit of their kit and I'm blown away.
+Matt Birtwistle that’s awesome Matt :)
Maybe great for bedroom use, but pointless for live. And I don't like the sound of square waves; pull out the oscilloscope and check it out.
mel obrien just take the line out through the PA. If you want to hear the amp on stage you can have that as well. I don’t play live so not something I need but having the option for me to work in such a way was a plus.
Today is my favorite day or the week...
Watched this yesterday morning, for which, after a week of deliberating over various IR, cab sim attenuator solutions couldn't have been more timely...pulled the trigger on this.. Took me all of 5 mins to have it up and running. At a plug n play level this is great without the need to dig to deep into the muse sapping world of digital trickery( which I can't be arsed with) I think close up and personal the sounds are far more realistic and warmer sounding than how they come across here on video (even though they're still good enough for me to go and buy one). Anyway, I've had to farm one of my kidneys out to pay for it, and I'll be frequenting various other donor outlets for the next six months!! But already I'm declaring this thee best bit of studio gear I have ever purchased :-) x
That’s a ringing endorsement Frank - we wish you many hours of fun with it. Now you mention it, the whole ease of use thing is significant with stuff like this. I get bogged down (Mick here) with menus and screens and options and I know that whatever creativity was there in the first place kind of evaporates if I can’t get a sound quickly. OX feels like it would be quick in that respect, not least that I’m still dealing with my dearly beloved amps. Anyhoo, rambling now. Enjoy!
I have it and I love it
Dave… Justin here! Man oh man! N.E. Philadelphia, New London, Mark - our fearless leader, your beautiful Marshall Amp FIZZZzzz OUT. I was running Sound for you guys. Opening for Brittany Fox. How’s about that band? Huh, huh, huh ? ! !
So incredibly happy to see You with UA. You Look Marvelous!
JJZ…(°¿.°`)
I love it when Mick plays Stevie.
I’m so so tempted by this. I’m not hugely into my recording, but would like to get more so. But it’s so bloody versatile and does so much on top of being an amazing attenuator. It seemed initially expensive for an attenuator but when you delve more into what it can do it’s worth the money. Might have to treat myself 😂
Yep, ordered it.
@@owenjacka2658 I'm in the same position right now
I find it very surprising that some people are assuming that the guys are getting paid and that this is product placement etc. Having watched a truck load of their videos I think it is clear that they are two of the most genuine chaps on CZcams - I trust them, the integrity of their tone and their integrity as human people. Hurrah for That Pedal Show.
Thank you! Just for the record, we’ve never been paid for a video nor any product placement and we never will be. It’s absolutely central to That Pedal Show.
We’re just interested in stuff, this being the start of some learning with any luck. Nevertheless, given that the vast majority of ‘pro’ CZcams videos are paid for/product-placed, we can understand why people might make the assumption.
Everyone always assumes a video is a kind of manifesto or absolute. It’s not - it’s just part of the journey, and that journey is certain to twist and turn over time. Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
My pleasure. You guys are simply fabulous. By the way that 100 watt thing at Guitcon was funny and all but Mick your bit was a million gazillion light years ahead of everyone else and then Dan with his reaction was the best thing ever. You Tube gold. I still need you to make your t-shirts with the ‘That Pedal Show store’ logo on as that would be a superbly cooler version. Also I just got my first (and probably last) tube amp and I am on a new journey of my own which is all very exciting.
Reactive load does make a difference to my ears. I've heard a few different attenuators (apartment dweller here) and by far the Two Notes Torpedo Reload has been the best. The difference with this is the fact that you can load in cabinet simulation straight to the box for recording, monitoring or going straight to a PA at a gig, quite useful.
This is definitely something I'd be interested in trying at some point if I get a chance. I'm very happy with my Two Notes and their cabinet impulse suite. It's definitely inuitive and simple to use with it's visual layout, it does remind me a lot of the Ox's suite.
I use it the Reload as an attenuator going to my cabinet and record by micing the speaker but going straight into my monitors might be a great choice to have without having to turn on my PC and open a DAW every time... Love the show and as always Rock On...
+STRAT-O-HOLIC Richman cheers SOH, it’s interesting isn’t it? It was certainly lots of fun so one to check out for sure
Glad you guys enjoyed it, from what I'm hearing it really is a step in a new direction with their modelling suite, especially from Universal Audio, absolute geniuses there. If I do get a chance to look at it I certainly will. For shits and giggles if you have time check out Two Notes Wall of Sound plugin or ask Rabea what he thinks of it. I know he's used it extensively. Cheers and thanks again.
Heh - wish this had been last week's show! Literally just bought a Torpedo C.A.B. two days ago to pair with my Fryette Power Station for doing exactly this. Finding the discussion on the limitations of IR is really interesting. IR has always sounded good and very "real" to my ears, but I totally get the point about it not being able to respond dynamically to different amounts of power. Fascinating!
Thanks for once more going somewhere unexpected and interesting (and useful!), guys :-)
Btw - idea for a show topic (like you need any more :-) ) Power tube distortion - how to get it, how it differs from pre-amp distortion, what kinds of effects work and don't work when the power tubes are really screaming, etc.
+Tim Bentley cheers Tim. It’s an interesting discussion to have, this is our first strides down this path so let’s see where we end up :)
Timely. Was researching the Ox after it showed up in a number of places online and at a local guitar shop. I thought “why?” I think I get it now. Not at the top of my acquisitions list, but good to know where and why this is useful. Cheers!
Nice!
Very, very interesting box...
I'm a big an of the Torpedo Live... but this thing kills it! Gonna have one I guess!
Hi guys! I've just bumped into a Larry Carlton rig rundown, and found out he has been using the following W/D/W setup for years: he has 2 mics on his dry amp, one for the FOH, and the other to send to his wet effects, that then go stereo to the PA (as he says, just like what happens in the studio). Very easily doable with the OX (or any good speaker sim device).
What a great idea to have landed there. Would be crazy good to have a look to some studios, gear etc. Kind of rig rundown in pro studios. And obviously you will have to plug some made of wood instruments : )
Dan's never been so happy! Look at him, that's great
I sat up like a toddler seeing keys jingle when Dan said "can we hear some cone cry"...I thought "did I say that out loud?" at first...LMFAO!
This is a really interesting subject. Digital modeling vs. analog amps.
I started playing guitar when i was ten years ago, and my first "amp" was a Line 6 soundcard with some amp modeling software... And at the time it seemed brilliant. If i wanted to jam along to a metal, rock or blues track, i could easily get a sound that was close enough for the ears of an un-schooled 16 year old... And it was cheap! And it worked brilliantly. Because if you've never played through a real amp, digital modeling sounds great!
But, when i started to play in a band, and had to get an affordable amp - being a student - and a basic pedalboard - all of the sudden everything got complicated. When i was using the drive channel of my amp and activated my TC Electronic boost pedal - it didn't get any louder! "Why?!" My 20 year old self asked, and i was a big conundrum to me for the longest time (this was before "That Pedal Show" schooled me)....
But i got around it, using the clean channel and drive pedals. But it took me a long time to fathom how guitar amps + pedals work.... And music store staff weren't exactly helpful, as they - in my experience - assumed that you knew everything from the beginning.
And that is why - long story short - i ended up with a Kemper for my gigging needs.
Everything just works straight out of the box. It sounds great mixed in with vocals and backing tracks when we are playing live - and recording for that matter.
I can get the sound i want with each tune we play and nobody ever asks you to turn down! Oh, and when you press "boost" - you actually get louder!
I know that analog gear is great - i've had the pleasure of playing through a belting Marshall through a 4x12 and it's glorious... But, just the thought of having to manage that thing playing at a wedding or a function gives me the chills...
Anyway, end of way too long CZcams comment... Thanks - once again - for all of the great content you put out! It's always interesting :)
A gear nerd as product manager! That'd be the first PM I'd respect, as in my type of business those guys usually turn up with either enthusiastic ideas that fail when facing reality. ;)
Also, I love how there's another Ox in the upper right on top of the Marshall.
Great googly moogly! Oh my goodness gracious!
Whenever I've heard fuzz with any kind of digital jiggery pokery going on after it, it's usually sounded like a bit of a buzzy, zingy mess.
Then you hear 32:15 .... that was RIGHTEOUS! What a great sounding bit of kit.
Well... There goes my tax return
you got a return.....Lucky!!!
I would love to see you guys interview Ian Thornley of Big Wreck he's great for those big massive fuzz sounds.
Love it! Nice to see you guys venturing into modeling territory. Dont get me wrong, i love tube amps and analog effects too but I find this new technology fascinating and for me inspiring to play as well. Would love to see an episode on a kemper or a headrush or one of the other similar units... Please.... after all I had to suffer through the “shoegaze” episode.
Cheers!
Cheers Christopher. Dan and I keep trying with modelling amps... and we just can’t understand how anybody thinks they bare comparison with the real thing. The gulf is gigantic for us. Now... that’s not to say they’re not useful/good value/practical etc etc. But given the choice, we’d just never use one. So out of interest, what tube amps do you love and play regularly? Cheers!
That Pedal Show right now its a Blackstar club 40. I find the clean channel a great pedal platform and to me is inspiring to play. It also cuts nicely on the rare occasion I get to play with my former band mates. In the past Ive used multiple fender models and Marshalls prior to going with a rack mount rig in the early 90’s when I played locally several nights a week. I still have that MOS Valve driven rack and it still sounds sweet. I do love the smell of old tube amps. Very intoxicating.
About 2 years ago I picked up an eleven rack and am amazed with its tone and flexibility. Plus it is also inspiring to play. I have a multitude of great sounding amps, cabinets and effects to choose from depending on my mood.
For me, “inspiring “ is what it is all about.
Wish I could afford one of those 40watt Victories..... I suspect those are pretty darned inspiring.
Looking forward to your next episode!
Well he’s a pretty good old guitar player for a “company” dude - loved that opening, great dynamic playing.
David is a stellar player! Remember, most of us were guitar players before we had to earn a living. :9)
24:16 twiddle some knobs brilliant!!
Recently in the Midscooop/push video you tried to make a Fender sound like a Marshall and vice versa. It would be very interresting to see how much they can sound alike with the EQ pedal in the loop of the Fryette Power Station using the same speaker!
After all, all a pedal in front does, is alter the guitar signal going into the amp instead of changing the actual amp EQ.
Thanks for all the great work!
Noooo!!!! I have a GAS for the OX since last week, and thanks to you, it will start eating me alive!
Despite that, love you TPS!
Love you guys! How bout a mini pedal shootout? Show us what u like in that department..
Was kinda dissapointed at first for the digital show.. coz im not a fan, at this stage anyway..
But just taking some coffee and listening to you guys chat every friday is just awesome and a treat. You can make a show about socks.. would still watch it happily.
Again, much love.
There’s a Pedaltrain Nano challenge coming up in a week or two... cheers!
YAY!!!
HA! I know Dave! GREAT player.. formerly of Line 6 back in the day. I spent many hours trying to steal his chops.
Just bought a Two Notes Torpedo Captor (for silent practice at home with the WOS computer plugin). It sounds great. The attenuator function is limited (fixed -20db only). It’s only £200 including the WOS plugin. If I needed cab modelling for live play or a better attenuator this Ox would definitely be worth the extra cash.
The line out sounds so good. In some cases better than the miked speakers. Impressive…
Damn! That solves so many space problems at one whack. I have some great stereo amplification and studio monitors - who needs all the cabinets and a great room with the Ox? Certainly not just an enthusiast such as myself. Also, this will cover the whole wet/dry thing as well. I do wish it were based on Android, however.
Aside from the Ox, audio quality of TPS, as well as the video, is always top notch - production value is one of the reasons it is my favorite TV show. If UA gear is your choice for your own studio, and if you are truly excited about the Ox, that is a ringing endorsement for me. I've watched your show long enough to know when you are underwhelmed, whelmed or truly impressed.
Thanks William. For sure there are other devices that do a great job of cabinet modelling, and it’s early days for us and OX, but it’s been super impressive thus far. Amazed they’re not further along with Android support. Cheers!
The fact that it is also a reactive load, not just a resistive load, is huge. And, they carried that philosophy into the modeling end of things. Really, the people at UA have taken two concepts, combined them and seem to have gone for the "best", rather than "that's good enough." For instance, this is a wifi system, rather than bluetooth. I think that sort of attention to detail is worth some price difference. Just for the record, I really do like the Fryette unit as well.
+William Smothers Dan here, I LOVE the Fryette ;)
Because of the stand alone amplification function, I think the Fryette wins, hands down, in the attenuation category.
Ok...now, that's the missing part I was looking for YEARS.
Dang it! I don’t need more gear but it sounds awesome!
Im getting one just so i can use headphones with my 6505 plus. Brootal tones without deafening everyone. Excited af.
Very cool product at a reasonable price. I do similar with a Power Station 2 and Helix which isn't really an inexpensive option. I think one could also do similar with a Power Station and Helix FX (HXFX) for about the price of the OX. If you're starting from scratch though, the OX would be a great way to go.
My kids can eat Ramen for a few weeks, right? I must have this thing.
Any plans to do a show on ToneBender styles Fuzzes? Great channel by the way dudes!
I was about to pull the trigger on a torpedo live but this video torpedoed that!
+TheD33pthawt well do a head to head soon
AWESOME! Can't wait, I'm getting a UA Arrow Monday and I'm really excited about the OX now too!
I want one of these sooo bad
Definitely looking forward to a comparison between this and the torpedo products. The Ox looks and sounds great but I'm struggling to see why it's twice the price of say a torpedo reload which is a reactive load box with the Wall of Sound Cab/mic sim add in for a DAW to allow great silent recording and a solid state amp to allow the sound of a driven power stage to be played back to the cab at low volumes. I'm not saying anything is better or worse, and if the Ox is worth twice the price, I'll probably buy it (I'm 'that' guy!) - but I would say the Torpedo Reload is one of the best bits of kit I've ever bought.
Intro... Wow!
According to the PDF manual on UA's site, the attenuation is "Six Steps (dB): 0, 6, 12, 24, 36, ∞ (speaker off)" Up to 36db of attenuation is pretty incredible! Probably make a 100w head very quiet.
Slippery slope, this is great but not something I thought I'd ever see here. I'm glad to see it. In a year from now when we tune in to see Mick playing through a Two Rock profile on his Kemper you'll know where it started.
Hahaha!!! In part two you’ll hear the Two Rock blasting through OX. Sure, I will always prefer to stand in front of a cab, but it’s not always practical or possible... so we thought we’d begin a journey. Now... the amp is still very much in play remember. We’ll get into all of this in part two, which actually involves some music! Cheers!
Question: I am building a board (yes!) for the first time. I am building it mostly from making my own pedals. This is for two reasons: I’m a broke high schooler and I want to learn. I still don’t have a ton of money to waste. Now for the question: I’m in love with fuzz faces. I also really like tones from octave fuzzes. As I will be ponying up a few extra dollars for “real” pedals, will a polyphonic octaver (I am thinking the sun and up for price and flexibility through the app) also have the same effect as an octave fuzz if you just run an octave up?
I also just want to say that this is my favorite show on CZcams. I also love that you guys answer my comments every week. It means a lot and brightens my day. Cheers guys!
Erm, kind of, Benjamin. But a traditional octave fuzz is a very different beast than a regular octave pedal. Get a Fulltone Octafuzz. Excellent value and covers both grounds!
You could buy a green ringer clone, or build a kit, and stack that with a fuzz
I've been hoping you guys would do a video on this since I saw the NAMM footage of it.
DANG. THis is cool. UA is a badass company.
This looks so tempting for recording at home! Have you tried other load boxes and compared them?
Dear Dan & Mick- This humble fan has a humble suggestion for a future show; maybe delve into the most forgotten component of any rig, "Les Speakers". Nobody talks speakers and there is so much to discuss. Wattage, wattage matching with heads cabinet types, cabinet "tuning", impedance mismatching, 10s 12 15s (?), and plenty more topics (i am so ignorant on the subject i cannot even suggest various subtopics). I was thinking of getting some greenbacks and i ran into the 75hz vs 55 hz question, not much info out there on the subject. I know this is the "Pedal Show" but you guys have moved well beyond that moniker. Just an idea
+pied a' terre we get asked about speakers all the time. It’s going to happen :)
I’ve tried modeling stuff in the past, didn’t really like it. Universal Audio is on a roll though, I’m super interested in this. Great video guys, as always.
That’s basically how we feel about it. Hence getting underway. :0)
This reminds me (in terms of show host excitement level) of the vintage guitar episode a few years back... yup, they're drunk on gear again! XD
In all seriousness though, it sounds awesome. My little Two Notes Captor is looking at me weeping, "please don't sell me. I still useful!"
+Jam Junkies ha! Lots of people asking for an A/B so we’ll get it done :)
It'd be interesting to see it against a Two Notes Torpedo. It'd be a bit unfair against a a Captor, but a Captor would keep it in the realms of amp-top box... maybe a Rivera Rockcrusher recording?
Everyone GASing, are we excited for recording potential, or even just low or no volume sounds at home? Sounds great...
That silver Strat!
Good to see the embracing of technology and modelling post amp stage. You guys will be waxing lyrical about the Helix before you know it ;)
+benbutterworth yeah, maybe not Ben. Mick and I did try a bunch of things at NAMM, and it just confirmed for us that although we think the technology is amazing, multi effect processors are just not for us. We thought this was really interesting as it was about micing of the speaker. We have a bunch of great amps so being able to drive them hard and record at home or attenuate and send the sound guy really good signal was really interesting. We’ve been using US stuff for the show and it’s been a revelation as far as recording is concerned so when we heard about this we had to take a look :)
+That Pedal Show been using UA stuff
I love the craft and passion involved in individual effects pedals, and the fact that they're easier to tweak. But I do think that whilst amp modelling isn't really there (lacking the thump) multi-effects seem bloody handy and used sparingly, live, there is little in it. Strymon, effectively have made many digital multi-effects, and just look at how good they are. If The Edge can use an Axe FX live, I guess they have their place. But it very much depends on the genre too doesn't it. Blues not so much, more heavily processed stuff, it sort of works.
I'll be getting one of these incidentally. What a remarkable set up.
@@ThatPedalShow That being said, I'd love to hear your thoughts and see you guys explore the Kemper Profiling Amp. Sure, it's been on the market for a number of years, but its studio to live application is undeniable. I made the switch when it became no longer practical to have a loud amp on stage and I had heard that many names way bigger than mine, were happy taking their studio amps and tones on the road with Kemper.
When I say explore the Kemper, I don't mean buy some profiles and have a go at it. I mean grab someone very familiar with it and a studio engineer and do the profiling yourself.
Mega and the pink shoes 😎😎
