@@richmanfilms yea, just set up the patches you want delay or reverb or chorus on etc. and it'll work in the FX loop. But running it in true parallel would not be possible as there is no way to keep the original signal out of the path. If you figure out a way round it, let us all know

@@Soumilbharatendu this is a great pedal but does not double as a USB interface. You can plug it into a separate interface though. And it sounds killer. Any modern USB interface will be good. But everyone's setup is unique, so it may take a few tries to find the perfect one for you. I've used most budget to mid level interfaces and my current fave which is perfect for me is my Soundcraft Notepad 8 FX. Which I think it the best unsung interface on the market for home recordists

Hi Pete and thank you for the vid. I recently got the same guitar in black but it's a pain keeping its body clean from dust, fingerprints and other residue. I already use a cotton cloth to clean it but it's not enough, so I wanted to ask you what you use to clean it. Also I'm not a big fan of the original strings, they sound a bit dull when strumming without a pick, compared to other guitars. Picking sounds good, but I'm thinking of changing them.

@@andrugeorge I think because mine has woodgrain, it's not so noticeable when there's paw prints. But yes, keeping a cloth is the only way really. Or wet and dry sand it all down to a matte finish. That would look cool. But very energy intensive. Any new set of string will give you more zing. Just get light strings as you really don't want to have to fight thick ones

@PetesGuitarUniverse
@PetesGuitarUniverse Ай бұрын
@@oskarwroniewicz I agree the placement wasn't ideal. On the day, with limited time, the clip wasn't allowing an angled down perspective. Although it was capturing a strong signal. All the others were placed correctly and giving nice strong clear signals. There can never be and exact scientific approach without placing in exactly the same place one at a time. But then every stick velocity is different, so there's that. A comparison can still be made. And also drawn from my objective in the room experience
@oskarwroniewicz
@oskarwroniewicz Ай бұрын
​@@PetesGuitarUniverse Of course it was capturing a strong signal, you were hitting a loud drum near it. That doesn't change the fact that the frequency response changes quite a lot when you get away even an inch from the head because of the proximity effect, which is a huge part of the sound of spot mics in drum recording. It's the whole reason why they sound how they sound - big, fat and punchy. I understand you had only the mic clip-on holders to work with, which made proper placement impossible, but in that case there was no point to even record the comparison in the first place. You could just as well compare taste of two different meals when one is fresh from the oven and the other one is cold from the day before

@oskarwroniewicz Ай бұрын
I don't want to be mean or play smart for the sake of it, I truly hope the information helps you in some way and I would love to see you make a new comparison! When it comes to the stick hits being different you can just play once and then show that exact part recorded by one mic, then the second one and so on. And when it comes to "scientific" placement you really can get it pretty much perfect for all microphones if you use regular stands

@Pete's Guitar Universe Great video, tasty playing -- love your tone and style. Was this direct line-out? It is a great-sounding pedal. I'm purchasing one. I'm going to be using this line-out but also into an acoustic amp (Fender Acoustasonic). As far as the reasoning for the re-branding, I am taking an educated guess, but I'm pretty sure I'm correct. Assuming this is made in China, you'll notice that are many 'rebrandings' that come out of China -- same product, but under a different brand name. I believe that the reason for this is that all factories are technically government-owned and the stuff that ships to the US comes from a factory near the Pacific (eastern) side, whereas products going to Europe I would expect to be produced in western-China factories. My guess is that different factories produce identical items, but are rebranded as possibly a quality control measure. Thanks for your great channel. Liked and subscribed. Cheers.

Also, if you want to improve your videos, stop holding up boxes and doing the unpacking crap. No one is interested in seeing unboxing, these days.

You need to make a submix, with the metronome fed to the channels you want to hear it on, then save that as a mix on A to F. The master stereo channels won't send the metronome to your main outputs that way.
