Whats your favourite affordable multi FX? This thing is insane value for money... just over £250 for all those features... I wish things like this existed when I started playing guitar!
What, not a fan of those little blue and silver digitech multi fx pedals we all used to see in literally every second hand music store and pawn shop? So legendarily shit they were hahahaha. The spider 1 was better
The one thing that they missed a trick with is to add a bass amp and cab or two. Most multi fx users are home users or those making home demos, and so useful to be able to run guitars and bass through these. The Hotone Ampero is similarly priced and does this well by having the usual type of guitar gear, but also throws in an acoustic simulator or two and a bass amp or two. This should be standard on all multi fax unit.
Answering the general question you’ve offered, lol, the 1st processor I owned in 1989, the Digitech GSP-5, blew my mind as I was checking it out in a store. It didn’t have distinct amp models per se, you just adjusted general parameters, I guess sort of like a Tech 21 PSA, only it was digital. And I must say, it was the “warmest”-sounding guitar processor I’ve encountered since. It gave out eventually, but it lasted nearly 20 years.
Hi Leigh, great review and fun video to watch...you really dug in to the effects and gave honest opnions, great! (oh, and I am gonna buy one as indeed a backup hahahahaha)
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it! That’s exactly how I use mine, as a backup. It’s just a useful thing to have just in the event of a catastrophic rig failure 😂
I was so close to pulling the trigger on this but with shipping to the US I was too close to the Headrush MX5 that I went that route..... But I think you are correct it is a great value. I enjoyed the review.
The Flamma also has a touch screen and the HB doesn’t I don’t believe, so definitely not the same unit rebadged. Might have same or similar guts though.
You don't mention the fact that there is a huge cut in the sound when you change presets, making it totally unusable in a live situation. Bought this thing and regret it now. I'm just waiting for a firmware update that may never come
Yeah - there's NO way to go in and edit the various patched yourself (READ SARC). Take a couple of minutes and adjust the gain, master etc. and make it work the way you want. Or... simply complain about simple issues that you can fix yourself!
Hey Leigh, This is me first time writing to your channel. I would like to ask couple question that I really consider before buy that specific processor. I know that you already show poly pitch. However, I don't think it's mentioned enough. I heard that processors have issue with poly pitching, almost glitchy sound when you try to tune down like an octave. Does this processor have that kind of issue? I mean Is it work well like digitech? or just junk for that specific manner ? I had never own a processor but I heard like, if you have option 3th party IR, than you have much better sounds. Since I like heavier stuff like Linkin Park early albums, Limp Bizkit, Korn, etc. Will it survive to my need? Also, in one review I saw that there is a lagging/switching strange issue while you using footswitch. Is that fixed? To be more specific, when you on/off pedal with footswitch at live, it's wierdly kill the volume and load up kinda thing. Is it fixed or still an issue of this processor. I am sorry If I bother much, Kind Regards.
This review was so well made and informative, that I bought this Harley Benton DNAfx GiT Pro. I am Truly VERY HAPPY to use it ! Its a great BANG for the price ! It has so many cool features a guitar player can spend hours having a great time tweaking and inventing new tones. Great way to practice my guitar playing. Thank you Mister Leigh !
Good review! I'm very interested in this as a more portable alternative to my Helix for small shows. I'd also need to use the poly pitch as a digital capo - in your opinion, is it good enough for that?
Bought it through the affiliate link. Please creators let people know when we can easily help such as clearly stating you have an affiliate link which helps you out. Cheers for review.
Thank you! I really appreciate that, it really helps. I wish we could…. If there were more people like you out there, I would. Unfortunately when we say things like that in videos we get backlash from people and get accusing of trying to sell a product to people. I have affiliate links under every video for people that want to use them 😃 Glad you enjoyed it and I hope the pedal arrives safe and sound 😃
Idk if plugins “count” in the proper context here, but maybe my favorite “processor” could be “Blue Cat Axiom”, which is laid out very differently to most plugins and processors.
A very detailed review - thanks. Thinking about the ' only one effect at a time,' limitation, could I select, say, a reverb from those in the DNA and then have other reverb pedals plugged into the send / return channel and switch the DNA one on at the same time as the send/ rtn. pedals, so achieving multiple reverbs? Ta.
I don’t hear much about the clean and edge of dirt sounds of Mesa Mark series amps. The ones I’ve played around with, I notice with the drive knob lowered, those sound like very good Fenders. To me at least.
The kemper has a 10$ cpu in it. Let that sink in, the 2000$ rig is just software and a metal box. You can get similar tone on you iphone for 10$. What you pay for is the branding and the box.
Dont forget the digital artifacting, harmonic distortion, and aliasing akin to the old mid 2000s digitech stomboxes you also get with a Kemper. Its the best feature! Just profile an amp, and use the same recorded DI in DAW to preform a Null test between the profiled rig and the kemper, and youll hear exactly what im talking about.
Lol, there's a 'wee bit' more than a cpu + software contributing to what we hear from the Kemper. the Kemper has, rightly, made it's name as one of the best in the business, and has been, and is used, by countless touring and recording professionals. You might want to ask yourself why these pros aren't using their iphones + cheap hw interface instead! --> STOP excreting so much bullsh#t.
@@ChrisM541 I agree. This did just get pretty funny. I didn't post and delete shit. First message posted from my phone. Never showed up. Checked on my laptop, wasn't there either. So I posted again from my laptop and walla. Both are there now. And guess what. I deleted neither one... I can see them both on my phone and laptop both. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ Ya have a response to any point I made? Any point In either post? Nah? Didn't think so. Sorry you made a poor purchase decision. Again.
leider funktioniert der MIDI out Harley Benton DNAfx Git Pro nicht mit dem Marshall JVM 410. Thomann hat keine Anwort. HB hat konkret auch keine Lösung.
That’s a good question… I’m not 100% sure but I would assume so. You’d need to turn everything off, including the amp sim blocks and just use it to pass signal to the computer. In theory it’s possible!
They aren't compatible, but you could probably get close to re-creating them between the units manually. The only limitation this has is only being able to have one of each block, but the Line 6 Helix can have multiple of each block type.
Hello! Could you advise me please with amp controller. If on preset "A" i will be using first channel of amp with 4 effects and want to jump into second channel without 2 effects. I should press twice on preset "B"? Once to switch off 2 effects and another one to change the channel of the amp in stomp mode?
is it possible to have more than one effect from the same category inside a patch? I mean for example two diffent delays or noisegates and compressors per patch?
Hey, it's not possible. I mention this in the video as one of the main limitations of this unit. Unfortunately you can only have one of each type of effect on at any time.
Good question.... I'm not sure... I lost the power supply when I moved house... I have it here somewhere. For this video I just powered it off another power supply I had laying around. It runs off a standard 9v DC but needs 1A of power. If the included power supply isn't compatible then it should be fairly cheap to get one that is!
Digging what I’m hearing. I do wonder why they chose certain amp models. Like why emulate Marshall’s 9000 rack preamp instead of a Jubilee? There are definitely more expensive units with a less impressive array of amps, enclosures that are way too big, and excess noise.
Just as a bit of constructive criticism chap. Your voice recording sounds terirble, so much harsh sibilance, thin and lack of bottom end. Not sure what your setup is, but you may have want to try something new.
Whats your favourite affordable multi FX?
This thing is insane value for money... just over £250 for all those features... I wish things like this existed when I started playing guitar!
It’s barely a mfx but my revecho from donner is very fun and soo affordable it’s ridiculous.
What, not a fan of those little blue and silver digitech multi fx pedals we all used to see in literally every second hand music store and pawn shop?
So legendarily shit they were hahahaha. The spider 1 was better
Will you be doing a review of the new advanced model?
What a professional review. Well done is an understatement. You didn't lose focus. I'll buy through your link.
Thanks so much, if you picked one up I hope you like it!

I have the tiny but pretty mighty Valeton GP100 which has 150 factory presets, and 25 exceptional bass sounds included.

This is the Flamma FX200 as sold via Thomann
They're probably fairly similar units, but the HB does have different controls on it compared to the Flamma.
interestingly, thomann stocks both
The Flamma also has a touch screen and the HB doesn’t I don’t believe, so definitely not the same unit rebadged. Might have same or similar guts though.

Really?? How huge? Not the usual quick cut without trails that spill over obviously?
@@ChristopherCBerg He's talking about a cut, not a drop of volume. You can't fix that yourself
13:50 - that raw, Stratty drive sound is very groovy!

Im into that! If that had boss written on it ot would be 599
I love that great sounding Multi FX pedals are getting so affordable now!
Sounds really good 👍🏼

Can you do dual amps like the Helix or just 1 amp?
Thanks for the video. Can I use it in computer as an audio interface with other plugins like bias fx, neural dsp etc.
That’s a good question… I’m not 100% sure but I would assume so. You’d need to turn everything off, including the amp sim blocks and just use it to pass signal to the computer. In theory it’s possible!
Wish I got that instead of the boss looper at the same price
It's crazy how they managed to fit so much great stuff into this for the low price!
The line 6 isn't much more expensive. I know nothing about these units, are the patches compatible with a line 6?
They aren't compatible, but you could probably get close to re-creating them between the units manually. The only limitation this has is only being able to have one of each block, but the Line 6 Helix can have multiple of each block type.

Can guitars compete with keyboards though?
Always!
Does it have an acoustic guitar emulator? If so, is it any good?

Hey, it's not possible. I mention this in the video as one of the main limitations of this unit. Unfortunately you can only have one of each type of effect on at any time.
Is the power supply block good with 110 and 220? Asking for a friend across the pond?

Hi, I'm complete beginner. So One jack, the Amp Control, goes into the amp? In which one does the guitar cable go into?
Thanks
into the effect processor input jack
does it have an acoustic guitar sim?
Sounds like its struggling to process the guitar and drum loop at the same time in some parts
This one or boss gt1?
this has ir loading and fx loop. you need mooer cab x2 or similar pedals to use it with gt1.
shill
Not getting paid makes me a shill... interesting take
