Would love to see how close the Dual Wreck to the Knuckles going to a power amp. And maybe same IR from the normal output channel with IR loader pedal or plugin.

[@NicholasMaus]

the knuckles is a rev C, this is a rev G, but still would be a cool comparison.

[@jaktje]

​@@NicholasMausIsn't the knuckes based on a rev F? It stands on the pedal.

[@NicholasMaus]

@@jaktje yeah my bad

[@sbadolian]

which is closest to THAT sound?

[@ChristopherOrz]

I have v550 and I think that the problem with the pedal is the fixed Celestion IR which is mediocre and that's why it sounds kinda artificial-ish. When I plugged it into my cab through the power amp it sounded really, really close to the real thing, same when I used my favourite IR which I mostly used with my 5150 plugged to the loadbox. All in all these pedals are amazing but not out of the box instantly. Sure, build in IR can be used in FOH situation, but when I can use better one it starts to sound amazing. A quick tip from me. 😃 Aaah, I forgot - update the firmware to get better tones!

As usual, budget gear being held back by the speaker choice.. _they cant keep getting away with this!_

[@Brennosguitarsandgear]

Yes this ^

[@bassist12345]

DUDE. I was literally scouring youtube YESTERDAY looking for a shootout like this and couldn't believe nobody had done it yet. Thank you for this!

[@Rokken2Dokken]

I would want a shootout between each of these and the UA Lion, ANTI and knuckles. To be fair the Lion is a plexi and not a JCM800, but still

[@aguitarhero007]

Came for the tonez, stayed for the chops!

[@philipandersen4406]

Would also love to hear these through a real cab!

[@guitarlair]

Dual Wreck vs Knuckles would be an interesting video.

[@79who]

i've been waiting for that video since the knuckles came out. hopefully someone will get that video done.

[@guitarlair]

@@79who it would be even better if he used them with a dual recto and compared the two pedals with the amp, pedals in the loop using the amp power section with them.

[@LekkerBlanka]

i boost the dual wreck with a king in yellow, and it sounds like it’s coming outta of a engl xxl cab because the engl cab loader is so amazing!

[@JackStolz]

Been waiting for this

[@clemguitar63]

For what it's worth, my thoughts are, how much I sincerely appreciate your video content!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks, that really means a lot!

[@viceroyraydeen1796]

The 800 sounds really good, captures the spirit of my vintage 800 combo. Also worth noting, I will never buy another UA product because of their needlessly Using their corporate platform to spout off about cultural issues.

[@kellytostada9949]

New drinking game....take a shot every time he says FUN

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Sounds like fun!

[@SapperRJMorgan]

Or “great”

[@scottdalrymple1716]

Do the pedals save your settings for when you switch to the 2nd channel or do you have to change everything each time you switch over. Would you need to have two pedals to keep the settings the same for each channel?

[@Brennosguitarsandgear]

I have the v550 My thoughts: 1. Do the firmware update, it sounds much better 2. I wish I could load my own ir ,the stock one is ok ,but when you run an external ir it sounds much better 3. The boost is great if you have the gain on the drive low , ie around 9 or 10 o’clock . Turns it from a rock crunch to a high gain tone

[@marthajam]

That schecter is awesome! Did it come with one pickup or did you change it?

[@SonicDriveStudio]

It's stock

[@GrMfull]

Finaly !! Thanks

[@woochyna]

Can the IR be changed? Also, why not going through a poweramp to check that as well?

[@ChristopherOrz]

@@woochyna no, IR is fixed, you can check my other comment about my feelings playing it through power amp

[@VelhosNovos]

@@ChristopherOrz You can use a external IR pedal (Torpedo CAB, Mooer, etc)

[@woochyna]

@@VelhosNovos Yeah, I'm aware of that, but I think it would be nice to be able to change the IR on the pedal itself thus eliminating the need to have an extra pedal (IR loader). Also a DI on top of an ABY if you want to use IE as well... or even go through an amp's FX loop/poweramp. The direct output the pedal has is literally just in case someone's desperate, which is a shame as it's basically useless in a live situation and also forcing you to reconsider your ampless rig and pedalboard space.

[@woochyna]

@@ChristopherOrz Alright, read it. Thanks for the clarification!

[@arissp4950]

Hey man can you make a tutorial how you load your OwnHammer IRs? I use the Pulse plugin but there are so many IRs on the package I bought I dont understand anything especially with the Hz. And most of the time they sound Fizzy. I use a jcm 800 studio

[@nj1255]

The Dual Wreck and 550 are definitely better sounding than UA's Knuckles and Anti (IMO, ofc). Not because they sound more realistic or anything, it's just that the Dual Wreck and 550 sound more mix-ready. Some people don't prefer mix-ready sounding amp sims and IRs tho. UA doesn't have a JCM800 pedal so there's nothing to compare the Jims 800 to.

[@Impractical_Engineer]

They sound great. A little more work left on the video to properly compare them to UA. Why on earth did they use a Mini USB on the back? C'mon TC, buy new connectors.

[@john_sandilau]

Could you start doing some more lead demos?

[@SonicDriveStudio]

I've been sprinkling more leads through my demos recently. I also want to do that more!

[@john_sandilau]

@ That's exactly why I intended this comment! The leads always show a different perspective of any music related product and it also sounds good when you do it! Keep it that way bro!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

@john_sandilau thanks!

[@valentino_vamos]

Hebben pedalen als deze nog wel zin als je voor hetzelfde geld ook tonex one hebt?

[@SonicDriveStudio]

It's a different approach so it depends on what you need

[@richardreyes6809]

What model is that Schecter?

[@SonicDriveStudio]

PT Black Ops. I recently reviewed it on the channel

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

TBH, I like the sound of the TC 550 one better. Money aside.

[@jcalzada74]

The riffs you did on the 550 it was meant to be on the dual

[@truescotsman4103]

The 800 is the thickest and punchiest.
