Thanks for this video. I have a large pedalboard and tube amp setup that I love and want to keep long term but I fly rig and while I've been looking at Kemper, Fractal, Neural etc. they're really hard to justify when I don't use a lot of effects. I was thinking of doing something like you've done with the Tonex + delay + modulation (maybe Boss 200s as they're multi-fx) + DI along with a midi controller. I have a Boss ES8 on my main board so I'm familiar with running MIDI in dedicated loops. The Midi Controller you're using as well as others like the morningstar have only a single input and output. Is the solution to just daisy chain the midi for a small number of devices like that? If that can work I feel like this would make an awesome fly rig for covers and jamming etc.

want it❤

Sounds like a couple of acoustics playing at the same time...

Nice video. I had a Fender 65 deluxe reverb but sold it because it was too loud even though I use an Ironman attenuator. Now I have a new amp with built-in two-notes captor x, which has a full loadbox and cab simulator function. My speaker is a pair of 8-inch studio monitors. This combination lets me use the amp freely and gives me the full tone of the amp. I would recommend this method over the attenuator plus cabinet because the studio monitors can be used for a home studio. A real cabinet is only for a guitar rig and you can use it only at entry-level volume which is not for its designated working situation.

strange following the same settings and my live logic sets 1-4 pc as toggle where yours is momentary... only 5,6 are momentary (bank change use likely the reason for it) did i miss something? went into cc na dset them to toggle, then back to momentary and then back to pc and they are now momentary all the way across. perfect.

Are you still using the optima I’m torn between optima and tone Dexter. Thanks for your response.

Thanks for sharing ❤

Had it sold it - underwhelmed. Sounds good on KZbin but not so much in person.

It's flat out stupid that Nux didn't include anti feedback on their pedal. It's prone to tons of feed back when you turn up the signal. I'm taking mine back tomorrow.

I built a similar rig with the Tonex and the Morningstar MC6 Pro.

Only own guitar acoustic need effects - it's Ovation. I think so . Another guitars don't need nothing. Maybe microphone and little "reverb" (hall ,plate).

I don’t know much about this but this may be attainable with a Tube Screamer pedal. You just need to have the Trim dialed in and use different captures for different guitars.

Should I be able to use an atenuator between the cabinet and the headbone? the idea is cracking the tubes of the amps within a reasonable recording volume Can this box allow both amps to run simultaneously? Lile mixing both clean channels from the amps into one cabinet

great direct sound!

This unit's routing options and mute switch are confusing to me even after reading the manual. Does the mute switch mute both the Link(guitar) and Send (pre-amp signal) ?

Great review sir. May I know what pedals are in the FX loop of the Nux Optima Air?Thanks and cheers

3 years later - I can't believe that's a direct sound from the pickup... Can I replicate that in the Helix? LOL Thanks for sharing!

I use the premium gold on my pedal board, highly recommend them, if you have many pedals like I do then a huge saving on real estate on the board. I doubt anyone with the hearing of a fruit bat could fault the sound quality of these cables.

Very interesting video. I have an original Carl Martin Delayla without tap tempo, and a Carl Martin Delayla XL with tap tempo. The XL is on my pedal board and used all the time. I never thought of using both like you suggest, so I'll be adding the the older Delayla to my pedal board. Something may have to be kicked off to make room for it though.

Brilliant advice!

Those are not DIP switches

I think I’d get a compression pedal and an EQ pedal, and be fine. Can I use my Boss GE-7 and Boss Compression-Sustain?

If I put my tc electronic flashback X4 after the tonex pedal ( like you have the halo), I lose some high end and a little volume at the output, do you find this to be true with your setup?

Just bought one from GC. Too complicated and no point paying over $200.00 for one tone preset.

I'm sorry. Did I hear you say that cable management isn't sexy? GTFO.

Thank you so much for the very informative video on session! Just bought the session and wondering what is the best way of chaining this in my rig. So do you reckon: Acoustic guitar -> Polytune 3 -> Venue (efx loop) -> session -> Chorus -> Blue sky -> Venue (efx loop) -> DI out Or Acoustic guitar -> Polytune 3 -> Session -> Venue (efx loop) -> Chorus -> Blue sky -> Venue (efx loop) -> DI out Thanks in advance!

mr... can u teach me for signal chain?

How many inputs can the Blackstar live logic take? If you have a multi-effects for time-based effects like your reverb, chorus and delays like that of Zoom MS-70CDR, is it possible to take 2 inputs (Tonex+Zoom) and mix it up for your presets?

I'm game for the full rig rundown. I'm particularly keen to know why you've got your Boss MO-2 in what appears to be the second to last position. I assume it's to take advantage of the stereo outs but it's an odd spot for a pitch shifter. Even one that tracks as well as the MO-2 does.

MIDI controllers are great... but we all need a controller that takes loop switches also (to control the analog section)

The Live Logic is a solid controller for a reasonable amount of money. The only thing I wish I could change, or figure out is how to have the LED's go on and off the way I want them to.

Hey, thats great, i actually have the tonex and the same controler, but the livelogic app is not working in my mac, no idea... what OS version are you using?

Can I have a list of your pedals and the order in which your using them??

what is the red cap for?

Nice video! 👍

Would you put this before the wah and tuner?

Should say Don't Touch anything, dont look at the pedal in Nigel Tufnels voice. 😅

Awesome Great phaser

It would be helpful if you could describe how another delay might come close to emulating the airiness of that pedal.

I came here from Sweetwater's review link for the overdrive pedal. Sounds quite versatile and I'm surprised how good the octaver and envelope filter sound when used in the effects loops instead of in-line. Nice job, thanks!

Nice video sir. Have you tried using the FX LOOP on NUX Air for the other pedals?

Great video. Thank you. I'm six decades into this including a good number of years in Sydney during what I consider to be the golden years of live music there, the mid 70s to the mid 80. I am embracing the new technology as best I can and stopped using amps a while ago. My present setup is the ToneX pedal into an HX Stomp XL with the ToneX providing the amps, cabs/IRs and the Stomp all effects and doing the switching. My question is, would the Z-Tone work in front of this with the guitar into the Z-Tone which would then go into the Stomp? If so I'm getting one right away. Thanks for your input on this.

Hi, thanks for the video! I'm wondering if I can free up my two front instrument inputs (one for my guitar) and using TRS cables from left and right from Reverb pedal to balanced line inputs on my interface? will that still work? Thanks again man :)

Hey, curious if you’ve put the Z-Tone after the Tonex to see if the results are the same? I would love to use the Balanced out to send the Tonex One to FOH while getting the benefits of the variable impedance as well as splitting signal to via link to go back into my Boss GT1000core.

😂😂😂 The guitar opens up when all pedal are disabled. Am I the only one who hears it? Pedals are killing the dynamics of the instrument. They also bring up boomyness! I hope I am wrong.

I wish the Duo series could use the Mods :(

So what pedal is it? The Chapman guitar sounds great btw

Sorry, Empress buffer

Thanks for this. Have you ever used the Mission buffer to run the same setup wet/dry? Cheers, sh

Hi thanks for the great video!! I’m actually looking for one of these units in Australia. The 2 shops where they are advertised are out of stock. And Carl Martin said there isn’t any distributors in Aus currently. Buying from them or somewhere overseas shipping is quite expensive also. You don’t happen to know of any floating around do you haha?
