    honestly all the tones you guys found were bright and brittle with no low mid definition which made the 7 string really lose notes in the chords, i'm wondering if monitoring in the room wasnt giving good feedback to what the oxbox sound actually recorded as

      @s1wheel4 8 месяцев назад +1

      @@neonether💯. Same here. Sounds horrible, but I’m sure it’s the miking and using a room mike or something. I use good earbuds, but it I know it won’t produce clear results due to RUclips compression.
      It has no low end and treble piercing highs. Not good at all. Makes my ears bleed. No mids either. It just sounds bad to me. Sound is subjective, so it might work for other people. It just will not work for my needs. To be honest, I’ve never really liked Blackstar for the money you have to pay for it. Any way just my $0.02.

It does need the boost though.

    Is there a way to completely bypass the ISF stuff? Like does it have to be turned on/off, or is it always active? That's the one thing I would have to find my way around. I never was crazy about that feature and I would've probably liked Blackstar stuff more without it.

      @@Krankenstein So, it seems like that doesn't make it do any *less* than it would at either end, it's a sort of active sweep type of deal that has some solid state stuff that is pretty much always doing *something.*
      I read somewhere that some Blackstar amps have one channel that it isn't active on?
      I might just use my cheap but wonderful Frenzel preamp into the interface with a cab sim. That'll give me the feel of some actual cascaded triode stages but also quiet recording. I'll probably keep one cab and try to find one mid-priced amp with low-ish output (compared to 50 and 100 watt heads anyway). Maybe turn my old Hammond into a low output power amp to use with the Frenzel. I don't know.... I wish I had made smarter gear decisions back when I was working 64 hour weeks.
