I just discovered this unit and I bought it in August of 2024. I've been trying to get to know it a little bit and I discovered your video. Following your instructions, I took it apart to check the battery situation. It looks like they have added some sort of padding on top of the battery to prevent any shorts. Thank you so much for what you're doing with this information for us!
You’re welcome, I hope you dig the preamps. I know what you mean, I have gotten a lot from many online and am happy to be able to give what I can. Thank you, as well 🤙🏻
Thanks man! I find it really weird that (especially in the Brazilian community, which M Vave is super popular rn) people are selling packs of captures/IRs. I know peeps gotta make a living but that's too fishy to my taste. hahah Also, your tutorials on this pedal are hands down the best ones in YT!
Wasn't sure what I was going to play around with this afternoon, now new sounds for the Tankg! Thanks , Dub 😀 Your YT production/content has really become topnotch! BTW, I dig the funky modulations on this thing.
Thanks, Jimi! I really appreciate that, I have been trying to step it up some. And yeah, the new update smoothed out the phaser and the verbs are killer!
I’ve got a v.2 and it also had the beginnings of a dent from the solder point so it’s not just the v. 1 that has this issue. It’s probably wise to check, irrespective of which version you may have. Thanks for another really helpful video and for sharing your presets . We’re all loving them !

My fingers are acrossed till it arrives. I just downloaded the files you uploaded in anticipation to tinker with the device thanks man. Lagos Nigeria
@@stephenadimonye1772 that’s awesome! I’m glad you found the video and hope you enjoy the guitar playing journey! Let me know what you think of the Tank!
@@DoubleDguitar I just recently purchase my Tank G2 and was aware of the issue based on a comment left on a SincoAnn tutorial video from M Vave's channel. I added the tape after watching your previous video. I am not sure if the dent was from the manufacturing process or from using the unit.
I bought the cheapest I could find off the auction site in July 2024. Just opened it. With mine, 1/16" hex wrench fit much tighter than the 1.5mm one. (And the two screws on the back were torqued down--it took some effort to get them out.) Mine had the foam installed on the top of the battery. Also, down by the battery connector on the board yours shows V08 and mine had V10. I assume those are board version numbers. I haven't looked at upgrading the firmware or anything else yet, but this thing is pretty cool.
@@jimmcclanahan oh interesting about the version numbers, thanks for point that out! I just got the Playwell Tank G for review and will look for that. Make sure to grab the preamp files in my folders! Thanks for watching and letting me know about the V#
Thanks alot your videos are worth watching and very informative... Can you do share a profile for acoustic captures. That might be very helpful for those (like me😅😅) that uses acoustic guitar simulations on gears like this...Thanks alot man... more power to your channel...from Philippines
@@LesterBacoto you’re welcome and thank you!! I am not sure about how well ANN would capture an acoustic guitar. I have tried to grab an acoustic sim, but it really didn’t sound so good through it. I believe Ehrosmith TV here on YT has a couple of acoustic caps?
Reecived my tank g Oct 9 it after watching your video I checked the battery ,it has a sticky foam on it .looks like it's been noticed and got back to manufacturing.
I have a few newb questions, sorry don't shoot me :). 1. Does Ann software run on Windows? 2. I wish Cuvave would sort out their website, some of the info pages are not properly secured, my browsers just won't go there and i don't want to wreck my only PC downloading .exe files possibly with malware? It seems like the A and B stomp switches are hard set as too quiet and C and D are way too loud and the the volume and gain controls on the pedal itself and in the E-MC software don't make much difference. You need to control and pre-balance your volume levels before live playing like you'd do with a pedal board so you're not suddenly blasting the band or giving a mix engineer a heart attack. If this is due to the cabinet IR or the AN2data capture signal levels, if so how can you adjust these? I like the extra note clarity you get with a good quality IR and Amp capture even overdrive and distortion but the leaps in volume levels are way off kilter?
@@robnic52 hey man, will try to help where I can. Ann only runs on windows, so far. Not Mac. I have had no problems with the downloads, and the virus checks after always are fine. So you should be good to select to proceed to the site. Def have to balance your levels. I start with one patch and get it going properly into an interface, then that is my “template” for all other levels for any other patches with changes.
@@pawekowalski510 I mostly do that to demo how close they come to the actual capture. I do not capture with an IR, so you can use your own. In most of the videos, I demo the tones with an IR. When I am not using one, it’s because I am still comparing.
Is the famous Mike Rowe your brother? You guys sound very similar. You are also very nice like Mike, on camera; I would assume off camera as well. --- Besides that, I am so happy I stumbled onto your channel.
@@Earthstein hey man, thanks and I’m also glad you found it! I have been getting the Mike Rowe thing a lot, lately! Gotta say, I don’t mind. Not related, but I like the comparison. Thanks for being here 🤘🏻
@@АлексейС-ы3з hey man, thank you! The easiest and at this point only way is to load it into a NAM player, like I did with the ToneX One. Then use the ANN app to capture the sound from the pedal. Or use two interfaces and computers, one for captures and one running the NAM app with the in and out assigned to the in and out you use in the capture process. A little convoluted. No direct conversion software.
Hey thank you for these files. I watched another video where you just put the 2 files in the BEOD and the LPD2 but they just came up on my Tank G as cabs, is that correct? Also, I see you are using the Ann to adjust sounds etc but I haven't tried yet so will probably figure it out, but, rather than using the ANN because I am not trying to get sounds from pedals etc, could I just adjust to taste in the Tank G app and export as a file? I will be trying that today. Now I'm thinking of buying a couple of Tank G's and putting different sound collections on them. Will see if I fill this one up first because I can't remember ever needing 36 patches lol. Can't say I subbed and liked because I already subbed, but I liked this video. Have a look at my channel I don't have a lot on there but I did a couple of songs with video I produced. I should do more but I lost my Mac and all my recordings etc so starting from scratch.
@@rldays9179 hey man, you’re welcome! Funny that they came up as cabs, are you sure it wasn’t the IR file I also had in the folder? I will check the labels. Check my video about the Playwell Tank, I have one running drives and one running amps! It’s really convenient. You can use the app a little to tweak, but tweaking in Ann makes a big dif!!
@@DoubleDguitar What i am finding is i download the data file and select it then put it on a preset patch and it seems to add to it rather than replace it. Then if you move from the patch to another like 2a to 2b then back again the sounds is different again. Not exactly the original sound but not exactly the downloaded sound either. Its weirding me out. I am grateful to you now I know how to play around with it but i have no idea why it is not changing the sounds like it should. Oh, and I turned off the loopback, no idea what that does but it didn't change much. Then i saw the "save AM2data data to device" and it has a drop down with 1-9 so i tried saving to that. Again no idea what it did. But my thought is did i save that file to channel 1 so all 4 patches are now affected? Because 1a used to be a clean and now it is a cruch sound. And the other 3 sounds sound distorted but i cant remember if they sound more or less distorted. So I clicked "Restore all amp and ir to default" and the couple of patches I changed first went back to default but that 1a is still a crunch sound. I will keep playing and see if I cant figure out what I like. This is interesting once you think you know what you are doing.
@@rldays9179 yeah, you have to save it to a slot and it will overwrite what was there previously. Loopback is to listen back to audio from your pc via the tank.
@@gilbertotoledo1421 hey man, you can plug into their updater software to see. Also, there is a number on the mobo when you open it and it will say V2 if it’s the new one. Hope that helps!
Sure thing, not a worry. I did not add the IR during the ANN process so you can add whichever one you want into the IR slot. And when playing the demos of the preamps, I did have the IR on, using the Forward Audio The Fredman tube capture. It’s a great IR.
@@ProGoTones well so far I have only captured two ToneX sounds, but essentially yes. With the Tank G and the newest software, you can put any of the “tweaked” files I uploaded right in. If you want to tweak any of my uploads with your own eq points, gain changes etc, you would use their ANN software and just drop them into one of the first 9 preamp slots. You can’t directly take a ToneX file and put it straight on. At least not yet, that I have seen. Check through the videos, I have some Boos ones and also some straight up drive pedals you can grab.
@@DoubleDguitar great concept. But, I’m not understanding which file type from my computer would need to be loaded on. So, I’ll just use the Tonex one for now I guess.
@@ProGoTones you would need the Tank and it’s software. An alternative to the ToneX thaaaaang. I am going to grab a few more for tank users. I really love the One pedal.
No. I’m sorry I was unclear, as this is a follow up to the MVave capture software. I can capture preamp, drives, distortions etc with their ANN software and turn them into files that we can import into the Tank G. So I have done that with the Boss IR 2, some drive pedals and now a couple of captures in my ToneX One pedal. So I had to use the actual pedal and software to translate the file in real time, but it works like a charm.
I think they are all bell style, in order to accurately add and reduce the specific frequency and the Q range selected. A shelf wouldn’t really have a Q option, more a pass point. So I am almost positive that is how they are set up. Great question! Thanks for checking the video out.
@@____jessica hmm weird, I am not sure. Are you importing the AM2data file or the raw am2? Also, are you using the Ann app or are you using the MEFCs? If the latter, you will need the data file versions, which means it has been tweaked in their Ann software, and isn’t just a raw capture. My Playwell video has all the links updated with the data and raw files.
@@DoubleDguitar Not the am2Data file, I mean the folder "IR from video" that contain a .wav file. Theres no problem with the am2Data file, it works fine but i feel like theres something missing with the sound that my speaker produce compare to yours, thats why im trying to import the .wav file inside the "IR from Video" and then the notification box popped up saying that theres no RIFF Flag. I mean did I do something wrong when imported it or just ignore the pop up notification? Thanks for your response btw.
Hi, I really hate to be a PITA but I'm having a little trouble. You show on this video going to there website at the 2:29 mark here. I can plainly see the M-Efcs V1.21 Mac OS. When I go to the website I just see M_Efcs for Mac with no version. Can you please link the address that you are using? Alos once I do hopewfully get the newest version how do I actually make it work. TIA, Rocco
Hey man, I will try to get the link added here. Check my previous videos on the tank g, it is def there on one of them. You also will download the M-Upgrade app, that will check your version and current firmware. Download the firmware they have listed, they remove old ones, and point the Upgrade to the file location. I hope this helps!
Hi I did find the link on your other video and when I use that link it does not show the M-EFCS Vi.21 Mac OS I think its just the original version. I have no idea why that would be. Also Im running into another problem now maybe you can help me. I would like to update the firmware and I downloaded it but I see no way to install it into the Tank-G. Can you tell me what you do? I am not new at this stuff I have owned Kemper, Boss, Helix NUX etc. etc etc and never have encountered many problems. If you can help me that would be great if not I understand that you don't work for cuvave. Thanks again@@DoubleDguitar
@@montiac22 you can’t tell anything really until you download the M-Upgrade app. Do that first. Download the firmware on their site. It’s up to date, as I mentioned. Even if not labeled right.
@@DoubleDguitarI downloaded the firmware and I couldn't tell what application to open it in. I didn't find the pedal or anything of that sort that was highlighted I just tried anything that was highlighted and it did not work. Like I said I am not new at any of this and my Mac is only 2 years old and up to date and works fine with any other Multi-Effect pedal software I can throw at this and there has been many. Any other suggestions? Thanks
@@rldays9179 you can always reset to factory settings in the M-EFCS app, if you don’t like a preamp. It really made a big difference, esp changing out the IR cabs.
@@DoubleDguitar I wonder if I down load the Lekato MEFCS instead of the M-VAVE page and reset to factory if it would then put the factory presets from Lekato in? At worst, I would try it then if no good, go back to the M-Vave reset. At best I get a more rounded channel 1 presets.
@@rldays9179 it should restore to the defaults in the system, regardless of the software being a different branding. It will go to the internal settings stored in the ROM on the chip.
@@Thedudemannn well, they are pretty different things. I would love to be able to just grab the Tank and go, but the switching isn’t prefect on mine. Having these files converted and in the tank, it does give me a great copy of my basic needs. But using the ToneX and the software is much deeper than diving into the tank software.
@ most of it does not have IR files for the video. I know it’s not the best sound, and I actually think a couple of my edits chopped out the ir sections. I will be doing a follow up and update really soon.
I have not tried the headphone out, but they do a lot of updates for this. And yeah, you can go straight to a monitor with either the xlr or the 1/4” outputs. I hit my interface, which feeds a couple of sets of mons for me to switch through.
@@DoubleDguitar Thank you very much for the info! I can't actually decide if I'd get one to learn and practice guitar with or go for a nux mg300. The mg300 had many positive reviews specially on the tone and seems so straight forward and easy to use. But man, for more than half the price I could get this. I'd just have to learn a lot more and search for files to load into the presets to tweak it and make it sound good.
@@badwrong6362 I will say, it has very much improved. For practice, it’s pretty good. My only gripe is mine still has just a little ducking of volume when I switch patches. Throwing my tonex profiles in with the IR from Forward Audio, that was all I had to do to make it sound just the way I want and can easily turn it on or off for a quick jam.
Hey man, thanks a ton! I appreciate you being here. Check this out, I made it a few weeks ago and should cover most of what you need. Let me know if you have any other questions. ruclips.net/video/9eCfn26vVf0/видео.htmlsi=QKd-rayyGw5hemSA
@@Utasuta3034 should be able to. If you cannot, check out M-Vave and their channel. They can now let you use Google in some way to capture or translate.
It also need to sand the 2 soders in the oposit face behind the last switch who makes the 2 spots on the battery as they show in the video. I'm sorry but you don't have done it good ... Carefull
@@renmad0078 I did see that the tips should be sanded down, but the thickness of the tape I used should be enough. And when I open it up again, I will confirm. Thanks for making sure. It’s a good unit.
@@DoubleDguitar Yeah, but how can anyone play without an IR and think that it actually sounds good or judge the sound? That's the main component of what makes the sound good
@@seventhplace in the Tank, a user can add the Ir, like I do in all the videos once I get to the M-EFCS software. This is where I do final tweaks, and the user can as well. Tweaking along with the cab they want. When I play through the Tank, I use the IR slot, as it has 9 choices and doesn't take away from footswitch ability or change anything else about the Tank. I also capture drive pedals, in the same manner. Some sound good with an IR and acting as a preamp, some don't. A pre-amp is really just a drive pedal, and yeah, they don't sound good direct. And this is a follow up to other videos of mine about the Tank, so I didn't get as in depth into that whole process in this video. Speaker cabs can really change the tone of a rig, and are choices I want folks to make after grabbing the files. I hope this all helps you understand what I am doing here and the ANN capture/tweak process. It is possible to import an IR and tweak with it on. But I choose not to, to show how much better it does sound, once the cab is added. I haven't watched this video in a while, if there are playing examples, the IR is on.

@@АлексейС-ы3з hey man, thank you! The easiest and at this point only way is to load it into a NAM player, like I did with the ToneX One. Then use the ANN app to capture the sound from the pedal. Or use two interfaces and computers, one for captures and one running the NAM app with the in and out assigned to the in and out you use in the capture process. A little convoluted. No direct conversion software.
@@DoubleDguitar that's a bummer... Well, thanks a lot for clearing that out!
@@АлексейС-ы3з yeah. Would be great to have a direct conversion app!
Thank you sir 🍻
You’re welcome, enjoy!
Hey thank you for these files. I watched another video where you just put the 2 files in the BEOD and the LPD2 but they just came up on my Tank G as cabs, is that correct?
Also, I see you are using the Ann to adjust sounds etc but I haven't tried yet so will probably figure it out, but, rather than using the ANN because I am not trying to get sounds from pedals etc, could I just adjust to taste in the Tank G app and export as a file? I will be trying that today. Now I'm thinking of buying a couple of Tank G's and putting different sound collections on them. Will see if I fill this one up first because I can't remember ever needing 36 patches lol.
Can't say I subbed and liked because I already subbed, but I liked this video. Have a look at my channel I don't have a lot on there but I did a couple of songs with video I produced. I should do more but I lost my Mac and all my recordings etc so starting from scratch.
@@rldays9179 hey man, you’re welcome! Funny that they came up as cabs, are you sure it wasn’t the IR file I also had in the folder? I will check the labels. Check my video about the Playwell Tank, I have one running drives and one running amps! It’s really convenient. You can use the app a little to tweak, but tweaking in Ann makes a big dif!!
@@DoubleDguitar What i am finding is i download the data file and select it then put it on a preset patch and it seems to add to it rather than replace it. Then if you move from the patch to another like 2a to 2b then back again the sounds is different again. Not exactly the original sound but not exactly the downloaded sound either. Its weirding me out. I am grateful to you now I know how to play around with it but i have no idea why it is not changing the sounds like it should.
Oh, and I turned off the loopback, no idea what that does but it didn't change much. Then i saw the "save AM2data data to device" and it has a drop down with 1-9 so i tried saving to that. Again no idea what it did. But my thought is did i save that file to channel 1 so all 4 patches are now affected? Because 1a used to be a clean and now it is a cruch sound. And the other 3 sounds sound distorted but i cant remember if they sound more or less distorted.
So I clicked "Restore all amp and ir to default" and the couple of patches I changed first went back to default but that 1a is still a crunch sound.
I will keep playing and see if I cant figure out what I like.
This is interesting once you think you know what you are doing.
@@rldays9179 yeah, you have to save it to a slot and it will overwrite what was there previously. Loopback is to listen back to audio from your pc via the tank.
Vecy cool, they just release the BlackBox product have you tried it? They have incoming "Nano" and black colored Tank G though not sure when.
I have not gotten the BlackBox yet, but it does look and sound really cool! Thanks for checking out the vid🤙🏻

Hi is that 5150 from ToneX Metal Gems?
@@mohitrahaman I am pretty sure it is.
Thanx!
@@electrolinks you’re welcome!🤙🏻
What's the difference between Tank G version 1 and version 2? How can you tell which one you have?
@@gilbertotoledo1421 hey man, you can plug into their updater software to see. Also, there is a number on the mobo when you open it and it will say V2 if it’s the new one. Hope that helps!
@@DoubleDguitar awesome! Thank you so much.
@@gilbertotoledo1421 you got it!
Porque no activas el IR ? la distorsión suena rara si no la activas
@@erickgarcia1262 for comparison purpose and so user can load their own IR into the Tank.
Thank you for this. Have you been able to import the am2 files on the mobile apps?
You’re welcome. Haven’t tried with the mobile app yet, hmmm…
AM2DATA file seems useless with mobile app.
I’m very sorry for this question but, why don’t you add a cab IR when you were demoing the ANN profiles?
Sure thing, not a worry. I did not add the IR during the ANN process so you can add whichever one you want into the IR slot. And when playing the demos of the preamps, I did have the IR on, using the Forward Audio The Fredman tube capture. It’s a great IR.
Great video! Thank you! I own a Tank B, but how can I know if its V1 or V2?
Thanks man 🤙🏻 When you have the M-Upgrade app running, plugging in the Tank will tell you the version and which firmware you are currently on.
@@DoubleDguitar thank you!
@@maxichercover you got it 🤘🏻
V2 has MVAVE logo on the front left side
Bro, do you have a am2 file for tank b
@@rheyjoshcamposano7774 I do not, I haven’t grabbed one. Maybe try the Facebook group?? How do you like the Tank B?
so, you can load this with your Tonex captures in lieu of buying the IK multimedia hardware?
@@ProGoTones well so far I have only captured two ToneX sounds, but essentially yes. With the Tank G and the newest software, you can put any of the “tweaked” files I uploaded right in. If you want to tweak any of my uploads with your own eq points, gain changes etc, you would use their ANN software and just drop them into one of the first 9 preamp slots. You can’t directly take a ToneX file and put it straight on. At least not yet, that I have seen. Check through the videos, I have some Boos ones and also some straight up drive pedals you can grab.
@@DoubleDguitar great concept. But, I’m not understanding which file type from my computer would need to be loaded on. So, I’ll just use the Tonex one for now I guess.
@@ProGoTones you would need the Tank and it’s software. An alternative to the ToneX thaaaaang. I am going to grab a few more for tank users. I really love the One pedal.
Not sure to understand… you can read ToneX txp files with that hardware?
No. I’m sorry I was unclear, as this is a follow up to the MVave capture software. I can capture preamp, drives, distortions etc with their ANN software and turn them into files that we can import into the Tank G. So I have done that with the Boss IR 2, some drive pedals and now a couple of captures in my ToneX One pedal. So I had to use the actual pedal and software to translate the file in real time, but it works like a charm.
can it be used while charging?
@@hacker2101cool yeah, I leave it plugged in all the time.
Got mine v2, it already had a battery protection pad
is the battery protection pad already there? or m vave just install a pad on new ver of tank g
@@jdjabs0128 it's already there on the new batches of tabk tank g
Hi, do you know wich eq band type? Ex. Bass is LowShelf, Middle is Bell and Treble is HighShelf? Or all are bell?
I think they are all bell style, in order to accurately add and reduce the specific frequency and the Q range selected. A shelf wouldn’t really have a Q option, more a pass point. So I am almost positive that is how they are set up. Great question! Thanks for checking the video out.
@@DoubleDguitar Tks fow the answer... but it could be described on manual, agree?
@@danilodurigan it could be, but I don’t think it’s covered. Mine didn’t even come with one lol
@@DoubleDguitar 🤣
I tried to import your IR but it said athe file doesnt have RIFF Flag, why is that?, need help
@@____jessica hmm weird, I am not sure. Are you importing the AM2data file or the raw am2? Also, are you using the Ann app or are you using the MEFCs? If the latter, you will need the data file versions, which means it has been tweaked in their Ann software, and isn’t just a raw capture. My Playwell video has all the links updated with the data and raw files.
@@DoubleDguitar Not the am2Data file, I mean the folder "IR from video" that contain a .wav file. Theres no problem with the am2Data file, it works fine but i feel like theres something missing with the sound that my speaker produce compare to yours, thats why im trying to import the .wav file inside the "IR from Video" and then the notification box popped up saying that theres no RIFF Flag.
I mean did I do something wrong when imported it or just ignore the pop up notification?
Thanks for your response btw.
@@____jessica ah gotcha, I just ignore that and it always works fine. I see what you are saying.
Where can you buy these
@@Terrysoddy Amazon and AliExpress have them.
Hi, I really hate to be a PITA but I'm having a little trouble. You show on this video going to there website at the 2:29 mark here. I can plainly see the M-Efcs V1.21 Mac OS. When I go to the website I just see M_Efcs for Mac with no version. Can you please link the address that you are using? Alos once I do hopewfully get the newest version how do I actually make it work. TIA, Rocco
Hey man, I will try to get the link added here. Check my previous videos on the tank g, it is def there on one of them.
You also will download the M-Upgrade app, that will check your version and current firmware. Download the firmware they have listed, they remove old ones, and point the Upgrade to the file location.
I hope this helps!
Hi I did find the link on your other video and when I use that link it does not show the M-EFCS Vi.21 Mac OS I think its just the original version. I have no idea why that would be. Also Im running into another problem now maybe you can help me. I would like to update the firmware and I downloaded it but I see no way to install it into the Tank-G. Can you tell me what you do? I am not new at this stuff I have owned Kemper, Boss, Helix NUX etc. etc etc and never have encountered many problems. If you can help me that would be great if not I understand that you don't work for cuvave. Thanks again@@DoubleDguitar
@@montiac22 you can’t tell anything really until you download the M-Upgrade app. Do that first. Download the firmware on their site. It’s up to date, as I mentioned. Even if not labeled right.
@@DoubleDguitarI downloaded the firmware and I couldn't tell what application to open it in. I didn't find the pedal or anything of that sort that was highlighted I just tried anything that was highlighted and it did not work. Like I said I am not new at any of this and my Mac is only 2 years old and up to date and works fine with any other Multi-Effect pedal software I can throw at this and there has been many. Any other suggestions? Thanks
@@montiac22 use the M-Upgrade app. Open only that app. Make sure you are connected via usb.
I can see myself trying this and screwing up my Tank G sounds completely.
@@rldays9179 you can always reset to factory settings in the M-EFCS app, if you don’t like a preamp. It really made a big difference, esp changing out the IR cabs.
@@DoubleDguitar I wonder if I down load the Lekato MEFCS instead of the M-VAVE page and reset to factory if it would then put the factory presets from Lekato in? At worst, I would try it then if no good, go back to the M-Vave reset. At best I get a more rounded channel 1 presets.
@@rldays9179 it should restore to the defaults in the system, regardless of the software being a different branding. It will go to the internal settings stored in the ROM on the chip.
Lol mee too
Very interesting ! Do you think the Tank G is better than the Tone-x One ?
Trying to decide which one has better tones.
@@Thedudemannn well, they are pretty different things. I would love to be able to just grab the Tank and go, but the switching isn’t prefect on mine. Having these files converted and in the tank, it does give me a great copy of my basic needs. But using the ToneX and the software is much deeper than diving into the tank software.
@@DoubleDguitar Very True ! They’re both very similar.
(If you had to pick) Which one do you think has the better tones overall ?
@@Thedudemannn the ToneX one has ultimately more fine tune options, so I would say that would be my pick.
@@DoubleDguitar Good look !
I’ll probably end up getting both but the Tank G first because it’s more affordable.
@@Thedudemannn right on, lmk what you think 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Am I wrong or you never use IRs engaged on tank g videos?
@@HMohr for the captures, I don’t have any cabs engaged. You can use your own favorite for any of them.
@@DoubleDguitar But at the end of the video, like 16:00, you're playing without IRs, right?
@ most of it does not have IR files for the video. I know it’s not the best sound, and I actually think a couple of my edits chopped out the ir sections. I will be doing a follow up and update really soon.
@@DoubleDguitar thanks for your prompt reply!
Can you plug a monitor speaker on this? And I saw a review that said it has noisy headphone out too, was that updated?
I have not tried the headphone out, but they do a lot of updates for this. And yeah, you can go straight to a monitor with either the xlr or the 1/4” outputs. I hit my interface, which feeds a couple of sets of mons for me to switch through.
@@DoubleDguitar Thank you very much for the info!
I can't actually decide if I'd get one to learn and practice guitar with or go for a nux mg300. The mg300 had many positive reviews specially on the tone and seems so straight forward and easy to use. But man, for more than half the price I could get this. I'd just have to learn a lot more and search for files to load into the presets to tweak it and make it sound good.
@@badwrong6362 I will say, it has very much improved. For practice, it’s pretty good. My only gripe is mine still has just a little ducking of volume when I switch patches. Throwing my tonex profiles in with the IR from Forward Audio, that was all I had to do to make it sound just the way I want and can easily turn it on or off for a quick jam.
@@DoubleDguitarwhen I load the posted IR I get an error message that says missing RIFF , whatever that is. thanks again for sharing these sounds.
@@midrange808 that’s interesting. Did it still load into the tank?
new subscriber here. please ca you do a video tutorial on how to make ANN profiles for tank g. thnaks man

@@DoubleDguitar done watching.. thanks.
Please test with IR 🙏 thank you
@@Utasuta3034 they were. You heard them with IRs in the playing. I don’t capture with IR so you can add your own.
@@DoubleDguitar Can i capture with nvidia rtx 2060 6gb?
@@Utasuta3034 should be able to. If you cannot, check out M-Vave and their channel. They can now let you use Google in some way to capture or translate.
You were absolutely not using an IR. I can't believe you can't hear that bro
@@seventhplace I don't capture or tweak with an IR, the playing later will have it.
It also need to sand the 2 soders in the oposit face behind the last switch who makes the 2 spots on the battery as they show in the video. I'm sorry but you don't have done it good ... Carefull
@@renmad0078 I did see that the tips should be sanded down, but the thickness of the tape I used should be enough. And when I open it up again, I will confirm. Thanks for making sure. It’s a good unit.
Well that distorted sounds sound really bad, not even close to original. I will wait untill people figure out how to import NAM files and good IR's
Someone needs nail cutters.
It's a cool video, but am I the only one that doesn't understand this guy isn't using an impulse response and it sounds like trash
I don't capture or tweak with an IR, so people can use their own.
@@DoubleDguitar Yeah, but how can anyone play without an IR and think that it actually sounds good or judge the sound? That's the main component of what makes the sound good
@@seventhplace in the Tank, a user can add the Ir, like I do in all the videos once I get to the M-EFCS software. This is where I do final tweaks, and the user can as well. Tweaking along with the cab they want. When I play through the Tank, I use the IR slot, as it has 9 choices and doesn't take away from footswitch ability or change anything else about the Tank. I also capture drive pedals, in the same manner. Some sound good with an IR and acting as a preamp, some don't. A pre-amp is really just a drive pedal, and yeah, they don't sound good direct. And this is a follow up to other videos of mine about the Tank, so I didn't get as in depth into that whole process in this video. Speaker cabs can really change the tone of a rig, and are choices I want folks to make after grabbing the files. I hope this all helps you understand what I am doing here and the ANN capture/tweak process. It is possible to import an IR and tweak with it on. But I choose not to, to show how much better it does sound, once the cab is added. I haven't watched this video in a while, if there are playing examples, the IR is on.
@@DoubleDguitar Nah... IR is Off
@@seventhplace cool
