Mystic edge is the main pedal til 2:00 min mark, using my tele.
Great sound!
(And pretty nice playing, too!)
Perhaps. But I highly doubt UAD is contributing all that much to his net worth.Do you think the edge is getting paid to do this? maybe?
If you're curious, here's a track I did with the Mystic Edge and Copperhead > into Helix Native, WhoWatt100 amp and cab. There's a slight flanger going on in helix too.

Here I have them set similarly tone wise, but the eq is very responsive. The Copperhead has that nice upper midrange snarl.
Sorry to get so off-topic, but I messed with the Essex A30 model a lot more, and.... I can't believe I'm saying this.... but I think I'm actually pretty happy with it haha. It does need bass boost to have the right low end, but I feel this way about a lot of the Helix models. But for me, who isn't a Vox connoisseur or anything, it does the thing.
Interesting - i thought the Vox models on Helix were sort of widely acknowledged as sounding pretty damn good?
John Cordy posted an AC30 shootout between HX Stomp and ToneMaster Pro some time ago, and Helix compared very favorably.
Is it possible to separate out the amp from the cab emulation and capture the IRs?Yeah I haven't seen one either. I'm almost tempted to buy the UA Lion just to debunk some of the "so much better than Fractal" notions that are flying around on The Other Place. Fractal themselves have already said in charts&graphs the UA pedals have much higher aliasing. UA also have a bit higher latency than a fullblown Axe-Fx 3 and then there's of course all the feature stupidity on UA.
While UA's amp modeling is good, to me the thing they truly did well is their cab sims. They sound very nice.
Now, I am still confident they are just IRs + speaker drive etc processing under the hood and not some new paradigm or UA would have patented the shit out of it. Their marketing is mysterious for this, with some videos with UA reps claiming they are not IRs but those might be marketing people misunderstanding the product. So far no evidence has been presented that they are anything but close mic + room mic IRs + speaker drive processing.
I expect the main things people like are that the close mic + room mic combos sound good. While e.g the Strymon Iridium also offers a room reverb mixing convolution and algorithmic reverb, it's not necessarily the same thing as room mic IRs from a prestigious studio.
Not on the UA amp sim pedals since you can't disable the amp sim. You could do so on the OX Stomp tho.Is it possible to separate out the amp from the cab emulation and capture the IRs?

Since he and the majority of the audience they'll attract all have less than stellar hearing
it's a no brainer for convenience and consistency sake.
