    GOOD demo! Actually runs through the various models and possible EQ changes, compares with dry vs. FX, and didn't play an entire song on each setting, as SO many demo players do! Enough to give a taste, and moved on, to cover lots of ground quickly, as opposed to the ubiquitous, slow-moving "vanity demo" videos! THANK YOU!

      Berington Van Campen And could i use it like the di box? Between the acoustic and line of mixer?
      And it processor could replace the compressor with eq?

    I have owned this pedal for about 4 years and use it for gigs every weekend. It's super easy to use and sounds great. The only warning I have for prosective buyers is that, if the pedal is being powered by 2 AA batteries, it will not last through a standard 3 hour gig. It dies at the 2.5 hour mark. Other than that, it's a great unit.

    Just one other comment. A good portion of the enhancement is reverb which you do not have when playing mic only. It would be better if you had reverb on the un-effected samples so we could eliminate that as a difference maker.

  • @danwhite7678
    @danwhite7678 2 года назад +3

    Just curious. Why would you use the 12 string effect if you're already using a 12 string guitar. I'd like to hear how that effect would make a 6 sound like.

    • @brainstewX
      @brainstewX 2 месяца назад

      The 12-string setting isn't a 12-string simulator. The names of the settings are the guitars they are meant to be used with.

      @vintageandmoderneffects 7 лет назад

      2dan4me it's a tonal shaper for acoustic, that's all. There's no 'simulation' so plugging a standard electric into it sounds awful. I've always found that zoom pedals have never really hit the market with an acoustic simulator and always felt disappointed by their efforts which is always a shame because they create some good high gain tones even on some of their more budget level pedals

    • @ZoomSoundLab
      @ZoomSoundLab 7 лет назад

      If you're looking for amp, cab, and effect simulation that sounds like the real thing, check out one of our latest multi-effects pedals...the G5n (zoom-na.com/G5n), G3Xn (zoom-na.com/G3Xn), or G3n (zoom-na.com/G3n). Very nice video, Sam!

    Why did you use a 12-string guitar on the 12-string guitar setting? Use a 6-string guitar so that we'll know if the pedal actually makes it sound like 12-string GRRRRRRR
    Edit: And I just found out that he also used a nylon-string guitar to test the Nylon-string setting

    • @chasepop
      @chasepop 3 года назад +1

      I think those settings are input settings, not output effects. If you're using a 12 string, put it on 12 string. Nylon strings, put it on that. Dreadnaught body, put it on that. Designed to individually enhance each different type of instrument. But you can obviously set it to whatever you want while playing whatever you want and get some diversity

      I mean sure, if that works for your performance environment. Sometimes you just can’t use a mic, and this sweetens up the sound quite a bit.
