Great demo! One thing I've noticed not many people talked about so far (that I find really nice and a deal breaker for me personally), is the ability to do 4 cables method. Except from the Victory preamp pedals line, I don't see many preamp pedals that offer that but I think it's a great advantage. You like your Marshall DSL100 (for example), but would like the hability to also switch to a 5150? This pedal can do it and it’s awesome. I really like that this pedal can also be used as extra channels to your base amplifier. I've always tought that more preamps pedals should have this feature.

The other UA preamp pedals would give you an extra 3 cabinets after you've run the app and signed into some account (accessed by continuing to scroll through the cabinets, the cab light would switch to green). Any extra cabs on this model? I had a UA dream and got rid of it due to the need to use a mobile app to switch certain things and having access only to a 'live' pedal mode and one preset, which isn't really enough without needing to dial in variations between songs -- needing the app again. But the sounds are undeniable. Edit: Answered my own question: "3 Bonus Cabs For Moshpit Worthy Tone 2x12 cab with D65, 4x12 cab with C80, 4x12 Brown"

But then its like, why not just use the Engl's preamp? That Anti pedal sounds incredible though...
@TaylorDanley22 күн бұрын
@@27retrodaze yeah so the reason I have tube and solid state power amps for demoing gear is because (like this pedal) some gear emulates the power section as well. This one does it and even has modifiers for it. So it makes a lot more sense using it with a clean SS poweramp. But then there are preamp pedals which only emulate the preamp circuit (most analog pedals for example), in that case they sound so much better and more dynamic with a tube power amp.

My issue with these and with everything marketed as a EVH style clone or emulation is, the market is so extremely oversaturated with the 5150/6505 sound man, especially in the metal scene and band settings. It's like when you're a kid and you eat the same thing for years till you get sick of it. I see the appeal this'll have for others, mainly from a price perspective, yet at the same time, personally, it feels like makers and builders have focused too much on the "tried n tested" formula that is the 5150/6505 sound instead of trying to go out of the box and make something new & exciting. It's a shame honestly, in particular when we're talking about big name companies that can very easily spend the money on R&D to really put out something unique. Probably the reason why boutique amp manufacturers catch my attention a lot more these days.
