What gear you running these days?

Mainly Helix in my Sunday gig. At home SLO30 into a Sound City 4x12, line out of SLO into an H90, Strymon Nightsky, and Collider into Fryette LXII stereo into a couple of Bogner cubes.

Mendel got down on it and gives a pretty good idea of how nasty it can or can’t get. (We all know it will do classic Plexi things) Time stamped for the stank.

What gives with the tons of reverb on there?

Probably because going dry sucks.

Oh, it’s the “jazz hands showing a product” thumbnail. Haven’t seen that one in a while.

Well, two things:
1) Get use to it. In actually low-tuneage-chugga music, there's little (if any) reverb on such guitars.
2) Can't judge whether a sound is really tight on what is supposed to be a demonstration video.

There are a million videos of this thing, I’m sure you can find one that meets your demo criteria.

Stereo reverb all the time, or GTFO

Kyle Bull did a nice demo too, using the Amped 1 as the power amp an miked up cab with a 57, and later in the video going direct:

I haven't really delved into this thing, but for what I've seen, it's a home run for $500!

Ok. I’m full of shit.

This was never going to survive the first six-pack this weekend.

I pondered it but MF gave me a deal on a Uber Syn Module I couldn't say no to I've been wanting to try that one out for awhile.

In actually low-tuneage-chugga music, there‘s also drums and bass, and a full mix. That’s not always what demos are though, hence reverb.

Hahaha. I hope not.

Is that Celine Dion on the left?

Right as the damn turtlehead tried to recoil….
Nope..the Brown’s won the Super Bowl.

How the HELL are you gonna get a good sound outta that closet-packed room?

Just go digital..this clip is mangled digital ANYWAYS.
NO WAY MAN

If my nutz were on the line here?
I’ll just bust out my Flextone II and level the digital wasteland.

The downside of buying stuff half drunk on a Friday evening is it doesn’t ship until the following Monday. Probably won’t get it until end of the week.

The lesson? Start drinking mid week.

Last week when I read the announcement and watched about five minutes of Dave Friedman talking about it, I saw it was available locally and picked one up. Now I see they are back ordered. Seems there's been a lot of demand for these.

Also, has anyone figured out the MIDI CC values? I don't see them anywhere in the manual, the website, or the app. I e-mailed Friedman over the weekend to see if they could provide. I want to set up external switching dammit!
