Great stuff! I adopted a middleground way of running your patches for the timeline and big sky. I do make song-specific patches with my ML6 mkii, but just rotate between your 1-2-3 patches, so programming is much easier. I also use an ML5, so I don't even have to trigger my drives. Your board has been by far the most inspiring for my tone hunt, great job!

Sounds awesome bro! I’m building out my first real board and I’m really digging the idea of getting the MC6 Pro. Not as familiar with it, but looks like a great tool to have. Are you able to program more than 3-4 BPM’s for a set list (for like a conference weekend with multiple setlists)?
@SamWittek
@SamWittek 2 ай бұрын
Thanks man! 👊🏻 Yeah absolutely! You could get pretty creative with programming more BPMs for a longer set list. You have access to multiple pages per bank, so if I were needing to program more I’d probably just set up another page or two of BPMs. You can also just toggle over to the next bank if that’s easier too. Everything in the video is all on Bank 1. You could potentially copy/paste this setup on several banks and just change the songs and BPMs to reflect your set list. Just a couple ideas!

Hi Sam, I also did a setup with the Volume X Mini Pedal DVP4 after the overdrive (Ibanez TS10), but a pedalboard technician told me that this volume pedal, being high impedance, goes after the guitar. He suggested me to replace it with a low impedance pedal like Boss FV-500-L. Do you agree with this update, have you ever tried the difference or do you think that even a high impedance pedal is fine there in the middle? Thanks
@SamWittek
@SamWittek 2 ай бұрын
Hey I haven't had any problems personally, but I know that a passive VP like this one can cause some tone suck. That's particularly why I go directly into a buffer first in my chain (and use several other buffered pedals throughout the chain). I've A/B tested going through my board vs directly into the ToneXs and I can't hear any audible tone loss so I'm personally ok with where my VP is at in the chain, but results will definitely vary depending on your setup. That's why you will see some people run the dunlop VP via expression out of a MIDI device, or a boost like the vertex boost so that it doesn't cause any tone suck. Hope this answers your question!

Hey Sam! Amazing tone. For syncing tempo to your timeline with the mc6, are you sending persisting midi clock or sending timed tap messages (at the bpm, which would set GLOBAL tempo)? I’m trying to figure out a way to set the Global tempo in the timeline with my MC6 mkii. I’m thinking that the CC Waveform generator in the mc6 might work but are you using another workaround? In a previous vid you were using midi clock but in this vid I noticed that the Tap color was orange instead of green which I think means it’s not syncing to a midi clock
@SamWittek
@SamWittek 2 ай бұрын
Hey man thanks! I'm pretty sure I'm just sending persisting midi clock from the mc6 pro. I'm using the BPM set function and just made sure that I checked the midi clock persist box in the morningstar editor settings, so that each time I fire a new BPM it'll persist. Then on my timeline I just made sure to set it to global. As far as the difference in tap color on the timeline I didn't even notice haha, I haven't changed anything midi clock related in a long time Hope this helps!

But on the Long Line I have to keep my Tonex’s master volume below the second little volume tick mark. Have you experienced that with the DISO? I’m trying to decide if I need to get the DISO.

Dude, your tones are incredible.. any advise of what to use with just a single ToneX for the time being? I hate having wet effects after it.. but $$. I tried out the TS ac30 tones. Really pretty clean tones, but I can’t seem to get my drives to stack well.. gets super muddy and l lose that time all together. Would love a “clean” tone similar to what you have. Playing a strat.

I’m pretty new to the TONEX stuff too and I also have the benson and vox from time factor but didn’t like them for the first few days of playing with them. I think the key is dialing in the input trim first, then the gain, then master volume to control the amount of headroom you want.

I had the same issue with ac30 stuff, it didn't take my Benson or Duellist very pleasantly with my Strat. From ToneNet, try the Mayer clean (it's like the #1 downloaded patch ever if you sort the results ), it's a great warm neutral tone that I use for everything. I also bought WorshipTutorials' Matchless pack and it's excellent too.

Thanks! 🙌🏻 Yeah good questions, since you're not loving having the wet effects after, are you running in mono currently with the wet effects before? Also are you using a big box toneX or a toneX one? Take my thoughts with a grain of salt, but honestly if I were in your shoes I'd do whatever I could to invest in the amps first, even if that meant off-loading some drive options or down sizing a bit. If I just had the one big box tonex, I'd try to sell it and target getting two tonex ones. Another option could be selling the single tonex and going for either an iridium or acs1 since those both have stereo inputs. As far as drives/captures go, it's hard for me to say without being able to hear it, but I really dig the TS AC30! I found that I had better success using the clean captures, and gaining it up to taste, as opposed to starting with the edge of breakup captures and gaining them down to taste. Past that I'd just prioritize dialing my overdrives mostly pushing volume as opposed to gain. If you're still having trouble with the capture, you could always try Tone Factor's free AC30 too. It's great, and definitely a different flavor. It's darker so it might pair with your single coils well. Hope this helps!

No, bro, I think the last pedalboard sounded better. Telecaster sounds better, and iridium is better than tonex

I do still dig the tele big time, but I've been really inspired with the humbuckers lately. ToneX vs Iridium is def a solid competition! Both are killer

I don’t think there’s even a fair comparison between what the Iridium can do and the Tonex. Iridium is flat and 2 dimensional in comparison and overdrives/compresses in an unnatural way, stuff that doesn’t translate via KZbin compression.

Hey Chris, thanks for sharing your thoughts! Just a little confused though, is there something wrong or unoriginal about the fact that I primarily play worship music?

@benjaminkoskinen5835 You're mistaking "hating" for "my opinion." Am I not allowed to have an opinion? People put themselves out there by putting KZbin videos up, and they have to deal with negative opinions. That's life. I think most guitar players in the worshop community have no originality when it comes to gear. The same old pedals time and time again. If you don't like my opinion, that's fine, but I'm allowed to have one.

@SamWittek It has nothing to do with playing worship music. It has everything to do with the unoriginal gear choices you all make. You can basically copy and paste a worship board for everyone to use minus one other two pedals. Oh, and I don't know why I have to clarify this, but it's my opinion. that's all. You might not like my gear choices, and that's completely fine.

​@@chrishepburn1503 hey that's fine, you're totally entitled to your own opinion. I think it does bring up an interesting question though, why is it bad if people who play the same genre of music use the same gear? That would be like criticizing rock/metal players for using rat-style distortion pedals and Marshall amps instead of "being original." I think it really comes down to the player and how they use the gear rather than the gear itself. That's just my opinion though 🤷🏻‍♂
