This dude deserves more audience, tbh. Got the positive vibes and the honest opinions. I bought my headrush mx5 because of him 😅 Hope you grow bigger, man

[@TaylorDanley]

Thanks! 🙏

[@jonathanthompson9068]

Just found your channel while researching multi effects. Good stuff man. I’m a metal head in supply chain logistics as well!

[@jerwinwashere3251]

thank you for the review!

[@stepeters]

👏 Got my MB2 over the weekend. It's great. I've had Helix LT, Stomp and the Ampero Stomp 2. Sure it has less features and probably less control but to be honest, I like it. I plug my guitar in and within a couple of minutes have a gnarly guitar tone. I've not even bothered adding any IR's yet either... just using the stock "cabs" (SLO 4x12) that comes with it. I will say though, that the USB C cable is cheap and nasty (exactly like the Ampero one) and like the Ampero one, would disconnect randomly from my PC. Swapped it out for a decent braided cable and it's rock solid.

[@labyzoune5751]

I love your videos man ! love your humour !!! Great stuff

[@TaylorDanley]

Glad you like them!

[@Sancho_Retablez]

Tanks for the review!

[@user-ko8rh9cx6m]

Awesome clean patch

[@foofiter02]

Sounds great, I love how awesome these cheap little modelers can sound. Nice job Taylor!

[@graemedixon6314]

Its good to see budget options are getting better and better. By the way what was your choice of power amp in this video?

[@Turbo-D]

this is almost double the price of the original matribox but print a BOSS logo on it and sell it for 500, these units are just that good IMO! cheers 🎸🎸

[@NateJonesATX]

I'm always watching your videos even though I only play bass. Wish you played bass cause all your videos are super informative brother keep up the sick work.

[@TaylorDanley]

💪 I'm a terrible bass player!

[@Seven7Pain1]

just got one myself and its actually one of best modeling pedal I've ever played

[@TaylorDanley]

🤘

[@lucastperez]

I liked the fact the the matrixbox 1 video title has a period at the end and the matribox 2 video title has two periods. Can't wait for the next GT1000 video!

[@CarcPazu]

Nice review. Not bad at all for a sub $300 device. You obviously gave it a chance to shine with a mic'd up Bogner cab.

[@TaylorDanley]

I'm glad people appreciate that. TBH, after doing this for a while, I've just come to learn that using the internal cab through my monitors is not enjoyable for me or anyone else.

[@JHPRS]

Hi Taylor. I'm thinking of buying the Amperium Live, do you think they will support the unit and make it even better with firmware updates? I like the tweakability of it, as it's better than most, but not as mind boggling as my FM9. 🙂

[@27retrodaze]

You seem to really like that Virtuoso, its been in alot of videos of yours since you got it... Now you have me taking a 2nd look at it... 🤔

[@TaylorDanley]

It's really nice lol

[@jelmeromero]

I have watched many of your vids but today, I realized you look like a metalhead version of Eric Stoltz! lol. Keep rocking man!

[@jewski]

Taylor what can you say in comparison with the Ampero mini, which one is preferable for you personally?

[@JiTiAr35]

There is also Hotone Ampero part 2......Stage The Chinese really really get into the game this decade.

[@KillaFXZ]

Taylor can you do the Chop tones Metal Modern vol1 Amp Pack for Matribox II addon and demo it? Let me know what you thoughts.

[@KillaFXZ]

Thanks for he new vid bro🎉

[@saidsuaste5186]

This or the Hotone Ampero Mini? Considering i will just record covers and practice in my room

[@PocketDelicious]

Can the volume pedal be moved to the front of the chain? This looks like a great little unit.

[@NinecoreNeil]

It’s a great pedal for the money

[@randymccoy2527]

Hey Taylor, any way you can share exactly what guitar rack you're using behind you? I'd love to get the same thing. Looks great!! Cheers~

[@TaylorDanley]

The bookshelf? It’s just an ikea bookshelf. I’m not sure the model, but it’s actually “office” furniture.

[@randymccoy2527]

I mean the rack you use to hang your guitars behind you, looks like a red plate. That's holding your guitars on the wall

[@TaylorDanley]

@@randymccoy2527 oh duh, my bad. IIRC I bought it on Amazon. Don’t remember the name.

[@BigLenny.]

do you think its worth it spending almost twice the amount of money for this version if you have the first one like me? these pedals are really amazing for the money maybe not the best solution for high end recording but works perfectly fine for home and stage use.

[@TaylorDanley]

If you want a bigger screen and metal chassis then yes. I can't really answer that question for you!

[@stefanokrivtzoff1593]

Hey Taylor!! Is this like a budget ampero or something?

[@richardgannon9158]

That first tone was pure life of agony.beautiful

[@MuntsoMixoLydian]

I added a comment onto someone else's comment in regards to using the power pedal. What power pedal are you using and could you tell us a bit more about how that works. I'd like to try that. I have FRFR's but I'd love to try it that way as well. As I also have a nice assortment of various cabinets. Could you assist?

[@TaylorDanley]

It's called the higher power from This Heavy Earth Effects.

[@MuntsoMixoLydian]

Thx man

[@MuntsoMixoLydian]

So basically plug it in and shut off the cabinet in the modelor? Is it that simple? Speaker cable?

[@ScienceofLogicTV]

I'd be even happier if the original Matribox had an FX Loop.

[@Koldalm]

Any chance you'll be demoing the nux Trident at some point?

[@TaylorDanley]

No idea! They asked me about it at Namm, but that was the last I heard about it.

[@Koldalm]

@@TaylorDanley ok, thanks for the reply, keep up the good work 🙂

[@nicolasaraistrujak208]

so its like GP200Jr but better?

[@whazpoppin]

We live in such a great time for guitar players. Even these cheaper modeler are killing it. It Sounds good but for now i will stick with my ampero 2. But if you are on a budget this seems fine 👌🏼

[@apoplexiamusic]

Great times, except when you need to buy a guitar. 😬

[@whazpoppin]

@@apoplexiamusic good Instruments cost good money. But it depends on what you want 🙂

Earth to Taylor: you don't have to make your eye balls bigger in the thumbnail. The thumbnails have been larger for years now.

[@TaylorDanley]

It's OK, It's only 1 eye.

[@marvinrichmondtv]

🤘

[@Krankaos1986]

9 times out if 10 those built on IRs sound like shit so thank you for pushing the air with a real cab in your demo and not just loading your own IR up. The unit sounds pretty good especially for the price point

[@marvinrichmondtv]

OTG Function direct phone recording for Android/ios Device? Please 🙏 USB Adaptor🤝Thank you

[@g.e.a.2569]

This, hotone ampero mp100, flamma fx200 or nux mg30?

[@ChakraOver9k]

This for sure

[@g.e.a.2569]

@@ChakraOver9k can you tell me why? I can't play with this modelera in my city

[@ChakraOver9k]

@@g.e.a.2569 you can't go wrong with either one tbh. I prefer the matribox because it has an effects loop. I'm a little biased because i own it too lol

[@MrKichtopher]

what's the li'l stand you set the unit on? i feel like i could get some use out of that

[@Qwik14]

What power amp pedal did you use?

[@MuntsoMixoLydian]

Yes, I'm interested in that as well. So you have a power pedal, shut of the cabinet in the modelor and that's it? I'd like to try that. Can you tell us a bit more about how that set up works with the power pedal?

[@TaylorDanley]

Higher Power by This Heavy Earth Effects

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

Sonicakes pedals are virtually Mooer pedals. Some that Mooer still make others are discontinued Mooer pedals. I suspect this is likely a discontinued model getting a second life.

[@Pulsar2000]

Yes, Mooer does a lot of OEM stuff. The Harley Benton Modeller was just a GE150 in a different box.

[@TaylorDanley]

Interesting..

[@worldaswar3784]

I follow mostly dropped tuning artists and now i see standart tuning musician and i'm like : wow does this hurt???is he okay? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:

[@dtremblay17]

yeah we get screwed a bit...

[@mylespetruskavich1553]

@@dtremblay17 I looked on the Sonicake website and it looks like it's just $229 USD, so you might manage to get it for the converted rate, and it says shipping is free. Duty charges could be expensive but I'm not sure.

Lame!

man most mixed demo on the planet lets go here lets go there didnt show what distortion you put on what happen there is it you normal 5 distortion mix and showing one as usuall absolute bomb mix😂

[@SenseiKreese]

Bruh, we don't want to hear the same cab on every amp. Plug it direct and show the cabs it comes with.

[@szveszs]

From that "NAM review" I "can't" trust his reviews anymore, just when he's playing his old amps or old stuff in general that can't be sponsored or at least not the newer stuff. PS: Why? Nothing special why, maybe it's just me that got a "feeling" after that. Sometimes I'm here as youtube recommend still his stuff for me.

[@riokinsey2134]

@@szveszs why? What happened ?

Nothing special, honestly, but I got a bit of "feeling', can be just me.@@riokinsey2134

[@MoonlteIX]

@@szveszs why? What happened?

[@christopherward4671]

Huge disagree here. If you want to know what it sounds like in reference to anything else he’s done, it’s important to eliminate the variable of different cabs or IR’s. Yeah it would be good to have both, though. Direct recorded tones and one of his typical cabs.
