Certainly personalities are loved by some, outright fucking hate-wanked by others.Maybe, the way he conducted himself on that forum left a very bad taste in my mouth for a while and kept me away from his products beyond just the fact that they were modelers
But that was a long time ago and I know longer gaf, water under bridge and axe III is all over my bands releases
My take is that the NC ought to be used to make captures *more* than the QC or even the big Kemper’s were, on average. (Talking end users here, capturing their own gear for their own use.) Partly because the QC offers enough other functionality to warrant its price, whereas the NC is arguably overpriced if you ignore the capturing feature; and partly because it’s so extremely portable, it’s that much easier to drag along to wherever the amps happen to live. I don’t make a lot of captures, personally, but if I did, I’d rather use an NC than a QC.
That’s cool. I am trying to decide if I need to try the Nano when I already have a Tonex. I am definitely curious but I am already somewhat invested in the Tonex platform and the sound is fine. I think the thing that would push me over the edge would be the ability to use the onboard effects with a small switcher on a simple nano sized pedalboard. Something like comp-dirt-Nano with a small switcher. Basically replacing the need for separate mod and delay pedals.
I'd been eyeballing the Tonex for a couple of years as well as the other Nam offerings and waiting for Tonocracy to go hardware but the onboard capture and simple effects pushed me over the edge for the Nano. Unless you really have the cash to blow and maybe want to use your Tonex for pedal captures, I'd think you've got all you need and with an external delay/reverb/mod pedal you have more readily available controls. I just want to capture some funky vintage concoctions I have that include an old DG Stomp, Twin Tube, Kitty Hawk Quattro, Ampeg Gemini VI and a Seymour Duncan 84-40 and see if they can be squeezed into a capture profile. Just have some fun and capture quick and dirty in an external pedal with basic effects and thus, the Nano fits the bill for me. We'll see if I regret it, but I think I would have regretted the Tonex more because I make my living on the computer and I'd rather my guitar toys be off the computer - except when recording of course.
I should have my Nano on Thursday. I was wondering about those tiny LEDs - probably been better to have those larger and farther apart. It's like this modern design aesthetic where everything needs to be super tiny and light gray text against a slightly darker gray background.
It’s that the one we pay more to build ourselves?
That CA Studio 290 capture is a keeper. Probably my favorite of the stock high gain captures.
I successfully tested mine with a 10k mAh Anker PD power bank, but I only ran it that way for 20 minutes or so with headphones.Can we talk about USB-C power? Like how does a device that requires 9v 600ma DC run on 5v USB supply? Does it consume less power in this mode? Can I run it off of my rechargeable power brick? Lots of jesting, yes. Thank you.
