Not really, it's a weird 3 cable approach... Which requires a splitter to make work. Same theory as a 4 cable method.

@@metalprognosis mm what a shame is not 4 cable method,but still a killer pedal 🤟

No need to apologize, if this approach and results aren't to your liking, no hard feelings. %95 of my videos are trials and testing things, not all are going to be gold.

Thank you for checking out the video. I don't recall %100 on how I approached the chain for this video. From what I recall the results weren't too bad trying to replica the 33 through the EQ pedal. If the end result of the tone isn't for you, that is totally understandable. We all have our likes & dislikes in tones and productions, and I can't think of one tone that is universally loved by all.

@@justiceforall6412 haha, maybe haha. I am I sucker for high gain sound and attitude when I play for sure.

Yes it should. It will clean up the low end and really push the mids and highs to help give it the grind. The good thing about this pedal, it's pretty cheap to try.

@@bisdaksasugbo if you use one as your distortion and the other as a boost, that could be very interesting.

@metalprognosis my boost will. Be the uzi that would. Be fine along with my joyo equalizer noise gate and compressor

@holls24x from what I recall it wasn't very user friendly... and it did just muddy the sound and killed clarity. Sorry you couldn't find a winning tone from it like I couldn't.

@@archiecervantes160 there is near to no difference that I could tell when pushing them super hard. I personally stuck with the noise killer as I got that first. I'm not sure how they would compare if you were using them for softer tones.

That's awesome. Since these pedals are pretty cheap, it would great if you could get something positive out of them. I'm sure it would be fun trying on both Tiny Terror and paired with the 5150 pedal. Let us know how it goes if you end up getting one.

@@threepe0 thank you. I think it shows the power of recording, having the ability to be able to listen back with fresh ears to really make a true assessment. I couldn't tell you how many times in a rehearsal session or recording studio we have swapped amps and 2 minutes into hearing the new amp no one can recall which one was better (or more fitting) haha.

@@MaxPandu definitely a real bass. I normally run it through dark glass neural vst amp sim.

Haha that was definitely an oversight on my part. It was a super cheap little device that I had zero expectations of sounding usable haha. Still fun to muck around with.

Excellent, I'm happy you got something out of this video.

It was a good call you stuck with the Dark Terror and just added the tube screamer to it. Any boost pedal with an EQ capability will make the Dark Terror sing beautifully. And if you ever wanted to take it live, 99% of gigs I have done sound for always mic up the cab, so volume wouldn't be an issue. The issue with Messa Boogie is, the price, they are a great amp, but I don't know if the price different equates to the quality difference. And at the end of the day, you will still be needed to add some boost pedal in front to shape it to your liking. Plus, none of us are rich and have the spare coin to be able to buy a bunch of expensive equipment to try. I have had my eye on Fortin amps for years, but the price and availability just can not be justified for me...

@@lucasandcasey6403 sorry to hear that. I'm not sure why that is... the only thing I can think of firstly if you are using the correct power voltage. If you put the threshold up high, it will cut all guitar signal and you will get zero noise.

This is still a very solid pedal. I haven't come across one yet that has as good of a EQ reaction! The amount you can push with this, from full clean to brutal is amazing. Just keep in mind if you get this and want to run it as hot as how I like to, you may want to get yourself (if you don't have one already) a noise gate to pair with it.

I use D'Addario NYXL1164 Nickel Wound 7-String Electric Guitar Strings - Medium (11-64). These are my go to strings, I have a couple of others I would like to try one day. But the D'Addario's are just solid and are super lasting if you are only using your guitar in the studio.

@@megarockfreak yes, it should work on ableton. Have your guitar plugged straight into your focusrite and amped vst will make everything sound awesome.

@@metalprognosis Thanks for the fast reply but it doesn't work as I said. I only get a hissing sound and more or less hissing sound when I change the knobs. The settings are the same as the ableton settings. Like asio, focusrite, sample rate and audio fuffer size are the same. Any suggestions? There is no signal from my guitar but there is one with a free vst plugin or ableton plugin from ableton.

Sorry about your struggles, I don't know much about Albleton to be able to help more sorry. I've been using Cubase for over 20 years now... That is my comfort zone.

@@timreveles it's a really fun pedal.

Thank you. That is the bad attempt at doing makeup myself haha.

@@metalprognosis looks good, but unexpected :)

Thank you for checking it out. But this is an original song, and this is the first time we are sharing with the world.

Thank you for checking it out. I'm happy you got something good out of this video. The solid studio is a brilliant little unit if you are happy using 3rd party IR's, you can turn a nothing into some of the most brutal results!

It has a unique taste I personally don't prefer over modern tones. Even classic albums I love that use this sound, I can't summit to their choice in tone.

@@metalprognosis What I mean is that it's missing the mark. I LOVE the buzzsaw sound , but this doesn't do it for me.

@@ronniemaiorana2732 Ahh I see. It might be pedal, it might be the speakers I use...

I can see your frustration. This was one of my earliest video I created for the channel, I'd like to think I've come along way since then. Thank you for checking it out and holding on until you found a section of the video for you to be able to get something out of it.

Be quiet you Cro-Magnon. We want to hear what they have to say and we want to hear the sound of the pedal. We are not there in real life. Why don’t you do something yourself instead of complaining.

@@73prd i found it challenging to get a decent sound out of it compared to other pedals.

@@metalprognosis hell yeah mate sounds horrible so does the plexi crunch can't beat the old ts9 or sd1

That would be a very interesting combination.

@@fernandovasconez8581 yeah, when we push the gain primary from the pedal and don't gain stage, that is common. I'd recommend gain staging or what I prefer, get a noise canceller pedal to add to your chain. My favourite one is my cheapest one, donner noise killer. It's a one knob mini pedal that does wonders.

@@Youngmidnight24 I don't think so sorry. If you are after some killer bass ir's, I'd recommend going to Nick Leonards music KZbin channel as they have some brutal ones they give away for free.

@@jackfryer3617 I solved it by tightening the knob, it was loose. Hopefully it's the same fix for you.

⁠whats your range now 7 o’clock to 5pm lock in a sweeping hand motion?

@@jackfryer3617 it a 5 level switch. Not a sweep once you tighten it.

@@metalprognosis ahhhh forgive me. Yea like the original that’s the same it’s 5 clicks as mine is. The original I think is more so clicks into places round to 5 o’clock. Mine stops where yours does is what I meant. So 5 steps from 7 pm to 1

@@jackfryer3617 yes correct.

They do a lot of pretty rad equipment.

@@metalprognosis Yeah, I have the Tauren, and a Jam Buddy, and now the EQ, I like them both.

They make high quality stuff. Don’t be fooled by the low price

@ramencurry6672 absolutely!

Did you find something that surprised you?

I agree that they are all very slightly different. If I didn't put them back to back, I'm not confident I would be able to tell that much of a difference between them.

If you are keen to get your hands on one, they are on the cheaper side!

I may have to check out the pre-set patches. I think it's a good toy to muck around with, specially for it's price. I'm not convinced it would be a great recording or performing tool. I could be wrong...

I think that is a really good point, you shouldn't get distracted to much by the title of the pre-sets, they are just different settings and not limited to best match what they are titled.

@@IAmWatcher thank you. I'll try keep that in mind!

That's really cool. I use the Alesis electric drums, I love the mesh drum heads they design. Which seem to be pretty common these days.

Sometimes, like this, equipment speaks better blending rather than by passing.

@@metalprognosis agreed! 👍 I'm old school, so pedal board set up is something I'm learning about, I'm on the tonal hunt, what I've been struggling with is that, any preamp distortion doesn't cut the mustard with my 78 JMP, but without modding it further, I have no options for FX loops. I just got an passive attenuator, I'm hoping this might solve my issues🤞🤘

@@nedesnikderpherder7529 have you thought about using a killer boost pedal to help shape your tone? One of my favourites is the fortin 33, ( or dirty tree - papers pedals).

@@metalprognosis I have a comp/boost and an od/boost, but not a dedicated pedal, the Nux masume boost is hard to dial in and seems like it would work better in an FX loop, but with my vs 100 not working ATM, no FX loop capabilities, so I'm starting to look at a modern valve head, and possibly the Nux amp academy,idk yet, I like the options but I love speakers and tubes, lol I'm getting there🤘

@@nedesnikderpherder7529 have you looked into the joyo zombie? They are awesome, small and can get a brutal sound out from them.

I'll have to try it as a boost.

It's especially nice because it's fairly quiet considering how much gain it has, so you can push the preamp tubes pretty hard without needing a noise gate.

I feel the same, the 33 sounds and feels more puncher.

It's not the same as an IR, it's slightly different technology. Regardless, it is a weak part of the unit.

@@ImranShamsul we take what ever wins we can haha.

@metalprognosis alright, I'll ruin it! But cheers for the review ❤️ I've been looking to explore the different drop tunings, this might be the best way forward

This guitar is a great option, as it's super reasonable in price if you can get it in your country.

Thank you. It was a fun video to put together.

This is true. Thank you!

Haha, unfortunately I don't know know the Avatar track. I'm guessing it's pretty cool ;)

@@heversuarez8733 yes, it absolutely can. It's a pretty powerful little pedal.

@@fromfilmtocode I was curious to know, without changing the pedal settings, how much difference in tone is there between the two different methods. Your comment is an awesome indication that there is a large difference, it just comes down to the individuals taste.

@@metalprognosis and our tastes and ears. If we all do ear tests we perceive frequencies differently or even don't hear others at all. Long story short, do you like how something sounds? Get it and just have fun.

@@fromfilmtocode Absolutely! Sound has never been that fragile where you need to microscope frequencies to get things sounding good. We want to sometimes so we can learn and it can be interesting, but it's never been a need.
