Very nice Aaron. The SoulMate definately seems to be one of the best acoustic multi effects out there. Quality.

[@jammer777]

Your reviews are first class. Thanks for taking the time to do such a thorough review.

[@aaronshortmusic]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@antonio.lovric]

@@aaronshortmusic Hi! Your videos are amazing. And you answer on every comments. People respect that! Tell me please, do you still have this pedal, and if yes do you use it?

[@aaronshortmusic]

@@antonio.lovric Hi! I sold it recently but only because I use a TC VL3x at my shows and needed to pay off some other gear that I am reviewing. It is an excellent multi effects unit for those that do not want to dive into menus.

[@antonio.lovric]

@@aaronshortmusic yeah, I watched your shows and I didnt notice you use T-Rex. I have doubt about this unit and Boss AD-10. And Im more close to buy Boss. Do you have any advice? Thanks in advance 👍

[@aaronshortmusic]

@@antonio.lovric I think they are both good. Check the features and base it on that. For example the Boss seems to have digital controls and the T Rex is more analog. Also the Boss is smaller but then has less footswitches etc etc.

[@markdennis6464]

Have been seriously thinking of getting one of these to replace my current acoustic set up - many thanks for a great straightforward review with no bull $hit

[@Sank1982]

My only complaint is the EQ is the smallest part with the smallest knobs of the pedal board yet it is the most important part of ANY preamp. I like the way you add just a little keeping the acoustic tone, I would buy this hands down if the EQ was the main part. 🤷‍♂️

[@aaronshortmusic]

I agree. The EQ is more for the room than to shape the guitars tone.

[@kmickp1166]

Excellent review Aaron & having the guitar on a loop in order that you can manipulate the various sections whilst talking through whats going on is fantastic. I agree with your idea that subtle enhancements to the natural sound of a good quality acoustic is best & that would be my first priority but the option is there to get creative to spice it up from time to time also so win win I would say! 👍👍👍 Once again, great work!👏👏👏

[@aaronshortmusic]

Thank you!

[@tomdaigon8707]

Nice job!

[@Dracu13]

First real good video about this thing. Everybody else is just nerding off, trying to act funny and show of their fingerstyle playing...I mean ffs I want to hear someone play strumming and regular stuff. ALSO u are the first to mention the preamp and not talk about their dogs or what they should wear...good job

[@aaronshortmusic]

Thank you!

[@enricgmajoral5300]

Yeaaahhh....awesome. Was super interesed and now I'm totally convinced. There's one thing I wish, though,...that the DELAY button was right next to the BOOSTER. In that way it would be perfect to switch both for a solo with just 1 foot hit! (quick and nice). The REVERB switch in beetween them just kills me....buuut what can we do,...nothing is perfect - I'll have to tap twice :-(

[@Jesterfizz]

Wow

[@aaronshortmusic]

Thank you!!!

[@denniskrottje012]

Hi Aaron. I just ordered the Soulmate acoustic, based on your wonderful review. So it better be good! ;-)

[@aaronshortmusic]

It’s a great pedal. I hope you like it!

[@im58woody]

Are you still using this Soulmate for your acoustic guitar Dennis? I am interested in seeing what you think about it. Thanks 👍

[@denniskrottje012]

@@im58woody Hi, I still have it but don't use it anymore. Nowadays I use the Line 6 Helix for acoustic and electric guitar.

[@im58woody]

@@denniskrottje012 Ok, thanks for your reply. I had the HX Stomp for a couple months and sold it.

[@im58woody]

@@denniskrottje012 Have you ever tried running electric guitar through the soulmate?

Hi Aaron, How did you manage to monitor yourself with headphones? I‘ve tried to go out straight into my headphones but I can‘t hear anything :( Thanks

[@aaronshortmusic]

Hi I went to my interface first.

[@247Dalvarez]

Aaron, nice review. I may get a T Rex for Rumba Flamenco. Also, I really like your shoes! They seem to go well with jeans! Do you recall the shoe name? Thanks, Danny Murrieta Ca near San Diego..!

[@aaronshortmusic]

They are from Tommy Bahama!

[@pedr0p0lis]

Hey Arron thanks for your vids, ive seen all sorts of mouth-watering gear on your channel, but what do you personally use at a solo/duo gig? As much as i want to love Trex i can't help but feel it is way overpriced and over-exaggerated piece of kit, correct me if im wrong.

[@aaronshortmusic]

Hey Peter. This is a great question. Maybe I’ll cover it in today’s live stream.

[@pedr0p0lis]

@@aaronshortmusic Nice, What time is that CET?

[@aaronshortmusic]

Peter Cook 30 minutes from now lol. Happy to answer questions on anything.

[@patricklundquist9869]

I'm glad I found your review of the Soulmate Acoustic. There are other excellent reviews that sadly have piezo quack that I feared was being injected by the T-Rex. Your guitar sounds like a Martin should so it was their guitars and not the pedal. Soulmate is an aptly named pedal. I'm getting one.

[@aaronshortmusic]

Thanks Patrick. It’s a great pedal but it won’t change the sound of your pickup so make sure you choose wisely!

[@patricklundquist9869]

@@aaronshortmusic No problems, I'm running LR Baggs Lyrics in most of my guitars and a K&K Trinity in my newest so they all sound natural to start with. BTW, considering the location of the looper buttons, I think those switch toppers are a necessity to avoid stepping on the boost or tap.

[@aaronshortmusic]

@@patricklundquist9869 Sounds good and yes get the toppers. They are by Mooer amzn.to/3Ee1uyO

Hi Aaron Where can I buy the red and green button for the Soulmate acoustic?

[@Tom-db7bx]

Is this an older model? Mine looks a bit different. Thanks.

[@StefanDemetz]

Hi. Where can i get those buttons you got on the looper section?

[@aaronshortmusic]

amzn.to/3u0uyGU

[@aaronshortmusic]

No. There is/was only one model.

[@Ricardorochamusic]

Hi Aaron. Does it enable you to configure and save different bank settings? Cheers

[@aaronshortmusic]

Hi. It does not but it’s easy to make adjustments on the pedal itself.

[@guitarado]

I have this one and it is really all in one tank. I used to have ditto x4 looper + boss dd500 delay etc.. the sound of the looper is better on ditto but nevermind, you can tune it and set it, just be patient. Aaron, what are the red and green buttons ? Where can I buy it ? Or is it DIY ?

[@aaronshortmusic]

Radovan Uhler They are ‘Mooer Pedal Toppers’. Available from Amazon or Reverb.com.

So can you plug headphones into this and hear what you are playing without going through an amp? Thanks for the reply in advance!

[@loganhatchel4955]

Sorry should have been patient and just kept watching the video haha

[@aaronshortmusic]

Logan Hatchel :-)

[@wfqsfg]

To use a pedal with it like and Electro harmonix Mel9, would you just put it in front of the board?

[@aaronshortmusic]

Yes. Depending on what kind of effect it is...

[@El-Mojo]

The Mel 9 works best with a compressor in front of it! This evens out the sound going to the Mel 9 and enhances the sustain.

[@dezscott46]

hi will this work if i plug it into my monitor speakers .i dont have ann amp just monitor speakers for my digital piano Thanks

Yes that is fine.
