TC Electronic Alter Ego V2-overlooked ambient machine

I almost sold this. Correction-I did sell it. I was doing a farewell video before I packed it up for shipment and realized I'd made a terrible mistake. This pedal is AWESOME. Needless to say, I refunded the buyers money and slapped it onto my ambient board.
Guitar: Ibanez Jet KIng 2
direct to behringer umc202hd interface in ((stereo))

This pedal was the result of a collaboration between ProGuitarShop and TC Electronic. Andy co-designed the presets based off of the (ProGuitarShop employees) own personal units with the engineers/designers at TC Electronic.

This one is a trully gem, great review :) The slap back with EP and Ckat are great too. I sell my Capistam and keep alterego and dd20 (one of the best two heads tape, better than Capistan 2heads !!!!). And now, because AE i get a TC Triple Delay. I think i get Echo Park, de7, Dano PB&J, M5, Zoom old G3, and Boss gx700 because of your reviews. No no GX700 a get cause THECOLDNORTHWIND... ehe... Thanks for all :)

I have the Alter Ego X4, but next year I'm getting the Volante another killer delay pedal.

good move!!!

[@PadraicPlaugher]

Délivrance absolutely

[@deanevo800]

Very nice. How did you get that stereo image out of this pedal?

[@milk_bath]

I'm looking at echo pedals with controls for Wow & Flutter and Tape Age. Can you speak to where these presets are in "age" and "in the of repair"? Lol

[@PadraicPlaugher]

milk bath I think these are models of the units the employees of ProGuitarShop owned and most were in pretty rundown condition because they preferred the sound. So yes lots of tape Age and in need of servicing.

[@PadraicPlaugher]

[@yepyepyep8859]

@@PadraicPlaugher cool. is this a hm2 clone? I think it sounds even better than original

[@PadraicPlaugher]

[@alexandrekreismann]

[@amazingwomenofsports1464]

i gotta level with everyone here...i bought this pedal bc of how good it sounds in this demo. but buyer beware.. its sounds nothing like it does in this demo. very cheap sounds and vst like unfortunately :(

[@savanaviolenta]

Nothing like that.i have the X4 version it sounds exactly the same. What is your chain? Solid state amp, or you go direct on your sound card?

[@CorbCorbin]

Well, the stereo makes a big difference. Were you running stereo?
