I don't know why the video quality is low on this, but the audio is good so, we're gonna roll with it. Also, I don't have the original video file anymore. So... It is what it is gang. :)

Sorry about the video low fidelity on this one. Technical failure. At least the audio was still OK.
Michael, you've taken this retro thing too far!
@@Yupppi HAHAHAH
Needed more cowbell..
ah give me your les paul and i'll forgive you for this ( A friedman head will do the job to) otherwise i probably be mad at ya for this unforgivable failure for the rest of my life😛
I have a simplifier...is awesome to put a fuzz, distortion or OD in front of then go right into your interface. I plug my pedalboard right into it for recording and it sounds incredible. Way better sounds imo over when I was mic'ing or amp sim'ing. I track bass and guitar thru it with usually a bogner ecstasy pedal or jhs supreme in front and it's vicious sounding (vicious in a good way) this unit's been kind of under the radar but I am convinced it's the secret weapon for keeper tracks right off of a pedal board. It's permanently wired to my interface at this point. 🤘👍
That would be great for a pedalboard friendly W/D/W setup.
Should I get this or that. Also I play guitar.
I like your demos. You go through a process of discovery as we would in real time, unlike a certain PT who opens with a musical production that blows you away.
“Eye” think “eye” know who you’re referring to.
This is the best channel. I am subscribed to thousands of channels, but I click on every one of your videos, and I’m never disappointed. I was born in 1970, so I was a teenager in the 80s, and I was a total metal head. I bought my first electric guitar rig in 91, and it was all rack stuff, so your channel pretty much hits all the right buttons.
Sweet sounding little box...cool!
That last 33 seconds reminds of how "dry, nasty, ugh!" a guitar sounds until you put it in a space - reverb, delay, something, and then suddenly it feels like the difference between chalk and chicken. You all expected cheese, right? :O)
I bought one of these about 6 months ago and have really enjoyed playing through it, especially for late night practice, just plugging in a set of headphones and turning a few knobs. It's a nice thing. Not sure if it matches all the hype, but then again, the hype on this product seems all over the board.
That thing sounds great!
Thanks Michael I’ll have to look in to this one
there you go again!!..... I'm tellin' ya it's of course the way our "search engine" stuff comes to us but.......I also was looking at this thing and thinking it was a major problem solver. good on ya Mike yet again....
Impressive lil box
The real test for a cab sim is high gain, that's where analogue cab sims tend to be really poor compared to impulse responses. A test with a high gain preamp would be very interesting.
True-but I must say that I am very impressed how cab sim sounded with crunch tones-very natural to my ears.For such small analog device quality of tones is fantastic.
I disagree.
The real test is a break up - that sweet spot at low gain, and not high gain at all. In the sweet spot you hear all the perfections and imperfections of the amp, because it is the most dynamic sound of the amp works or doesn't depending on how well preamp and poweramp working and how well they work together.
It is much easier to getaway on high gain or on clean sound. And I did and not once.
But I should also say that not often we hear good sweet spot tones in the music of today.
@@peterosipov400 I'm speaking purely from a cabinet emulation perspective, analogue cab sims can work really well with clean and light breakup sound and tend fall apart miserably at high gain where they sound simultaneously undefined, mushy and fizzy. IRs in my experience have been much crisper and less ear fatiguing.
Just to be clean I'm not talking about preamp/power amplifier simulation.
@@stefanozurich sorry, but analog cab sims sound awful on almost anything, except maybe for clean cleans or in electronic music context when you need a weird tone out of your guitar to mix well in a synth-heavy environment
@@peterosipov400 This pedal is an analogue cab sim though, what point are you trying to make? That this pedal sounds bad?
Damn dope bro!!!
Dude! That Les Paul Hits!!!!
AC30 sounded good 👌
Michael, check in your closet you might hve a vintage Marshall that you received 30 years ago but you forgot about.
Nah, just a beat up Burst and some amp that has epoxy all over its internals in that closet.
Mike, good stuff. A? : can you line level on the input, thinking about re-amping of a clean recorded guitar? And from the way you're controlling it, this does not seem to be about digital sims, but transistor goodness? Regardless, it does sound pretty damn good!
ps: loved your Friedman X amp review!
Michael Neilson, I would like to hear your thoughts on the DSM vs the Two Notes Cab M as a pedal platform. I would love to hear some Friedman pedals into the 2 units and get feedback on which unit feels better and more realistic. I ask because one unit is digital and the other is analog. I wonder if there is a real difference between A or D or if it’s just in my head. Thanks Micheal, your playing and videos are my favorite of all the others out there. Keep on rocking!!!
Supercool
Please do a breakdown of your Ninja Tracks’ track “Passages” 🙏🏼 seems appropriate since it’s mostly guitar driven.
Can you run mono pedals into the front (OD, Distortion, octaver) and then have it come out stereo into stereo fx pedals like a strymon reverb? Also, how does it sound with OD pedals etc?
NICE! Simplify your life!
is it sound great for you compare to JMP-1? and is it Pedal friendly for your option?
Mam, if you still have this, I'd love to hear it as a platform for the smallbox pedal.
what was the UAD room verb plugin?
Can CABSIM be turned off to use w/ IRs? I don't see that option on the website
I have an HX Stomp and a PowerCab+ that I could never get to sound "perfect" to my ear. I even bought and sold an Iridium after running it through the PC+ because it sounded awful.
I got one of these and ran it through the FRFR. I thought it was OK, but then I tried using the Stomp's amp models and bypassing the Simplifier's preamp.
It's perfection.
Can we use external IR (bypass the internal cabsim) on this simplifier? Or we only get those internal stereo cabsim?
I don't think so. I think it's locked in.
You can. If you connect the Simplifier fx loop send to the exernal IR loader, it will only use the preamp section of the simplifier.
nice but i would like more lookin at magazines content
Hey Michael! What about the high gain with this tiny box?
07:28 is about as much gain as you can get out of it. It definitely needs a pedal to take it to the next level of gain.
@@BigHairyGuitars that will be pretty interesting I do believe
Have you tried the DLX version? would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Havent, but I do love this version
@@BigHairyGuitars It definitely sounds good, I will have to try one out.
👍🇺🇲❤
How do you compare it to the CabM from two notes... saw it on your desk.
I'm not wild about the amp sim inside the CabM. I LOVE the cab sim though. The Simplifier is a really nice amp sim... like an updated Sansamp. The Simplifier is more direct and in your face... for better or worse.
@@BigHairyGuitars Thanks. So I run an hx stomp and I was using it for amp/cab, but Im sort of switching up and making it be mostly an effect thing. I use a dumble style pedal for my main tone/pre amp type thing. Was wanting to see about putting that pedal between the stomp (all other effects) and the cab to again set that tone as the last thing out basically. So I can't figure out if I need mainly a cab sim or something more like the simplifier. I like being able to put an IR into the cab M. I suppose with either I could run that pedal into it's effects loop for setting that tone. May need to buy both and give it a listen.
The lines on the knobs are kinda triggering me. Not sure if I could get used to that - 🤣
I sold mine quite quickly, wasn’t very good , I wanted it to work so bad.
Same
i'm torn between this and the iridium. i know this is analogue and the iridium is digital and there are lots of differences feature wise, but they both seem really good to me. i'll use it for amateur home studio recording. which one would you guys go for? please help me choose!
I’ve got an Iridium and I’d say it’s night and day better than how this pedal sounds. Nothing wrong with the demo, I just think this pedal isn’t very pleasing to the ear.
I had one of these and sold it for the iridium. I like the iridium a lot more. Also, the iridium has a bypass so if I want to run into an amp I don't have to tear everything up just to do that.
Iridium has buttloads more gain, plus stereo IRs, whereas this only has analog cab sim.
can it do IR tho
no its not digital
Did you ever figure out what that crackle was? It seemed like it was only happening when you were moving around. Cable? If it was something internal, that is a 100% deal breaker. You record the take of your life, play back and ARGGHH!
Yeah. I was overloading the internals. I guess you just have to keep an eye out so it doesn't get too hot.
are you happy that the dodgers won ?
I think it's too expensive for a device doing what a sansamp does since the early 90s...IMO a torpedo cabM sounds a lot better and has more applications also...
