[@AnaCFF]

Awesome video, i'm really impressed with all details and presets!! Loved the "Lucid dream" example.

[@SRguitar]

Thank you!

[@EdwardJohns-be6ri]

I want to thank you for actually making a coherent helpful. Summary on how to Program and save patches in patches and this F x pedal You're the first one that I have found That is taken the time to explain it in a way that I can understand. Now I feel comfortable about buying it. I subscribed to your channel And wish you happy holidays, God bless.

[@32riffs]

Really cool sounds, man when I started everything was really bad, now it's the golden age of digital

[@MeTuLHeD]

I think one of the nicest features is the editing software. It's basically a clone of the Helix editor. Pretty cool for such a low cost box.

[@beatnicksodyssey]

Wow, this thing sounds great in all the videos I've seen, but I'm most impressed with the amount of foot control you get with only 2 footswitches. You don't usually get footswitch access to the looper, stomp mode, and tap tempo with little compact pedals like this. I also like the dedicated headphone jack, usually on smaller pedals it's just combined with the output. People say this is great for beginners, but I can see it appealing to bedroom players with limited space, too, like myself. Shoot, if it sounds as good as the videos I've seen, I could even see someone gigging with it if they don't feel like carrying a large pedal board with them. I did go ahead and order one and can't wait to try it out myself.

[@alseveron6558]

What do you think of it, now you've had it for a while?

[@beatnicksodyssey]

@alseveron6558 It sounds amazing. I've owned a lot of cheaper multi effect units over the years, and this one sounds the best. There's always a few issues, but it more than makes up for them in sound.

[@alseveron6558]

@@beatnicksodyssey Good to know you still like it. I'm teetering on buyng one to replace my Zoom G1X Four. I hope I don't regret it! :)

[@AllanGildea]

That's great value - and even better playing.

[@SRguitar]

Thank you Allan!

[@sharkman4928]

I bought one and like it.

[@user-tk4wm2dw2o]

Very good!!!!!!!

[@celsopereiramagalhaesjr3216]

Veey great product , hope theumy also build one with three and four footswitches.

[@SRguitar]

Yes that would be cool!

[@potetoooo9243]

Could you please show or give a review on matribox as an audio interface. How does it sound if we use matribox as an audio interface to record our guitars

[@klee2006-hm9lb]

how can use it as audio interface with an amp sim and hear only the sound out of the computer? like not the sound of the multifx pedal too. Using it as an audio interface only, is that possible? how?

[@simonegrillo5534]

Thank you very much for the video! Two questions: 1) is it possible to loop over running drums 2) is it possibile to overdub multiple times?

[@jimmyz2098]

Awesome vid! Awesome playing and demo, so we can really see what this little gadget is all about. I think it sounds really good, for getting a wide range of quick, on the fly settings, all in one box. I like this thing. Does anyone know.... is this really a different casing of the Flamma FX 100? Different case and knobs and such - but same basic unit? The display looks very similar. I like both of them, and I'm also interested in the Mooer in this same price range.

[@SRguitar]

Thank you! I think most of the chinese multi effects pedals in the lower price range are pretty much the same - but I haven't tried the Mooer or the Flamma, but I guess they are great as well :)

[@fidelespinoza9868]

​@@SRguitarIt is very similar to the Valeton GP 100, only that the valetone brings a little more effects and a little more amp and cabinet simulators, it also brings a little more memory for IR. I am considering buying either of the two since they are almost the same price. I saw in another video that the Valetone GP 100 tends to get hot, is that true?

[@blablybla]

For the price... it's pretty darn good. It requires some tweaking, but overall, it is solid device. Anyways, have you tried recording on smartphone with OTG? I've had no luck, which is a bummer because all the other multieffects I've had, have worked without the issue.

[@thepatriotrocker8001]

What I would like to know is, can you create your own tone patches say for instance a George Lynch tone and then a Van Halen tone and assign them to each footswitch so you can toggle back and forth on-the-fly?

[@kevinr.3542]

Yes presets 100-199 are user presets that can be changed and saved as anything you want. You can dial in a Lynch tone and save it as "Lynch" in spot 100 and then save an "Ed" patch on 101 and easily switch between the two

[@batphink2655]

Hi Sascha, how would you rate this against the Valeton GP-100? as I bought the GP-100 after seeing your reviews but your guitars sounds better than mine lol! I love your guitar playing who are you fave influences in Rock?

[@SRguitar]

Hey! I think they are pretty similar, I think the Valeton has a metal housing as far as I remember, which is better of course. But sounds should be pretty similar. I have a lot of influences... Angus Young, John Frusciante, Richie Kotzen, Paul Gilbert, Tom Morello... And a lot more ;)

[@strawman3059]

If i ran this through an effects loop how would it differ on the front of the amp?

[@stratbluesman]

sounds great ! Can't you just plug it straight into a guitar amp?

[@andylavs2605]

I just bought one of these. I find the sound drops out randomly so notes are missed while playing. Have you seen this problem? Do you think it is a settings issue or is the unit faulty?

[@shaquilleoatmeal2199]

Update?

[@mr.d.572]

I have one of these. After tinkering with a few of the presets. I now have a few to use that I really like. This pedal isn't perfect (no on/off switch for instance) but it inspires me to play more, which is worth way more than the pedal costs. That said, I have 2 questions for you: 1) What are you playing it through? I have used it through the effects loop in a Peavey amp, and now through a small Fender amp. It sounds fine but I know that defeats the purpose of setting up cab sims. Again, not perfect but still works. 2) Do you know how to set up a "null" channel to get around the fact that there is no on/off switch? I'm not sure how to do that.

[@SRguitar]

Hey! 1. I have connected it directly do my audio interface - so I haven't used any amp. 2. I am not sure what you mean with that :D

[@blablybla]

Have you thought about powering it with powerbank? I use mine with Baseus 30000mah powerbank connected with usb to dc converter(reverse polarization), so the button on this powerbank works as a on/off switch.

[@kevinmyles6369]

Interesting but can it chug?? Any great high gain tones in there?

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

Great review. But I want to ask, if I already have the POD GO, and the Headrush MX5, do I need this pedal?

[@SRguitar]

Thanks! Probably not :)

[@RamilArt]

Hi! That IR Sampling length: 512 or 1024 pts ?
