TC Electronic Alter Ego X4 Vintage Echo Demo

[@jaysterdude]

If you haven't bought one yet- now is the time to get one! Pro Guitar Shop has them for $149.99 USD!

[@guitarlink79]

Thanks for this demo, I was really interested on a detailed one by one delay type on this unit, and you did it flawlessly, keep rocking.

[@shnobeltone]

No problem, thanks for watching, it is a cool delay pedal

[@jimabrahams3576]

What a great pedal. I have two of the original Alter Egos, and they are my favorite delays. I happen to like the crazy modulations, and probably get more comments from that sound than any other. If I need less or none, I adjust the mix down or choose another setting, but, yes, it would be optimal if there were onboard controls for modulation speed and depth, as well as tone. GREAT demo!

[@maximiliaan575]

*_Thanks for this posting_* *_All the presets X4 are very interesting_* *_Thumbs up for all of you_*

[@shnobeltone]

Thanks

[@maximiliaan575]

_You are very welcome + Shnobel_

[@benlogan100]

Nice to see your playing. I like your music, so it's neat to see how you're getting your sounds. Thanks.

[@soundknight]

What a fantastic pedal, so many good sounds. I guess if you A/B it against a boutique delay it may fall short slightly but as it is by itself with wonderful clear delay repeats and nicely controlled modulations it is just so useful. Nice demo by the way.

[@cosmogang]

Dude! Nice job getting a demo out so quickly.

[@shnobeltone]

As soon as i head its coming out, i wanted to get this pedal first, Thanks for watching

[@bushkey]

Shnobel, I love what you do for us. Excellent demos and comparsions for sure! One Request: Please throw in a little Les Paul action with your Demos. Us Humbuggie guys need a reference for that animal too. Thanks Shnobs!

[@shnobeltone]

Thanks, i will keep that in mind, and i will definitely try to throw in more les paul in to demos

[@paulpugh5315]

Excelent demo my friend.....would love that pedal but already have an M13. ....👍

[@nikdevriese3780]

Great delay unit! Thanks for sharing

[@kiwiramjet5625]

An ambient soundscape fan's wet dream! So good.

[@couto39]

Oh my GOD , this sound so incredibly

[@stephenseybold]

Hey man for performance how do you plan your presets in the AEx4? Would you be able to share the toneprints you use or screenshots from the editor?

[@GuitarTek86]

Will it self oscillate? That's one thing I have noticed a lot of TC delays won't do. I also wish the pitch would bend as you change the delay time. Maybe there's a way to edit that function with the TonePrint editor? Does anyone know?

[@brunoillipronti8641]

Shnobel I like a lot your videos! Greetings from Brazil :) Would be nice to use Les Pauls in some videos comparisons (together with Strat)

[@NickCasale]

I didn't know Jeremy Renner played guitar, cool! But seriously, sweet video thanks

[@shnobeltone]

Hhaha :) thanks man

[@lockymcneill7905]

Wondering if you have ever run these delays into a dirty amp? Trying to find out how well they respond being digital...

[@marcboisvert9290]

love the super authentic delays..... but some of the modulation was a bit much otherwise killer

[@dxfordummies]

I feel like this pedal is marketed to people looking for a crazy vintage echo

[@redzephyrproductions]

Hey man, Can you get those crazy oscillation sounds out of this pedal? Or the tape speed sound? Cheers

[@piotrmanka4722]

Great sounding pedal. But what is the title of the song in the very beginning of the video?

[@bonomo2007]

hello , my name is brunno , I'm from Brazil . I have two questions : This pedal has some delay without modulation ? there is a video explaining the use of the tone print ?

[@marcoscosta5018]

bonomo2007, tenho um alter ego V2, o modelo dm2 não tem modulação. Também tenho um dm2 waza e o modo dm2 do alter ego é de fato muito semelhante ao modo padrão do dm2 waza. A diferença é de tão discreta imperceptível para um ouvinte.

[@Tone2town]

Its looks like he enjoyed the DM-2 Setting... I did too!

[@shnobeltone]

Yea its a great preset! :)

[@soundknight]

Can you demo this against the Wampler Faux Tape Echo?

[@joeldelpilar3651]

Hello! I was looking trough the comments and many ppl complain about the lack of rate/depth controls. I believe you can tweek it in the tone print editor. Say you choose the E.rec1 as a starting point for your custom tone print and then you lower the rate/depth or you add functions to the time/feedback/delay level knobs, so maybe the feedback knob also gives more or less depth.( or whatever suites you) I have the HoF and in the tone print slot I made a plate reverb w mod and the tone knob also gives me more or less modulation, works really great for me!

[@savanaviolenta]

No man in the Toneprint editor you don't have acces to these vintage delay sounds,you can not modulate them.But you can create similar delay sounds tweak them to your likings and beam them in the four Toneprint slots and Ofcourse use them one by one.

[@WhiteWolf--]

Toneprints are all from the flashback. No AlterEgo ones available

[@duxkate]

Really nice demo. But one question, does this alter ego ( or the x2 ) can self-oscillate emulating the tape cranking when pushing the feedback to the maximum? Thanks!

[@shnobeltone]

Yes it does emulate oscillation, more controlled than a real thing but not too bad

[@duxkate]

+shnobel thanks for the quick answer!

will the pitch of the repeats change when i change the time setting ? just like on a analog pedal?

[@savanaviolenta]

not exactly

[@cedarbay3994]

Beauty-ful Strat toan.

[@stompfolks]

it's hard to turn the time delay pot, it can cause severe damage

[@theaceofspadesjl]

was the pedal running through the effects loop or through the front?

[@shnobeltone]

Front of the amp

[@newdayz1000]

You may have answered this before but may I ask what pickups are in your strat? They sound pretty nice!

[@shnobeltone]

+newdayz1000 They are the standard pickups that came in the Eric Johnson Stratocaster

[@newdayz1000]

+shnobel Great! Thanks for the reply! :)

[@brunoillipronti8641]

Question, when you turn off the pedal the delay is cutted off?

[@savanaviolenta]

There's a buffer bypass switch inside the pedal,so turn it on and you're good to go with the trails.

[@cameronsteacy7862]

sick! just waiting for mine to arrive. I wish there was some way to control the modulations...

[@jean-renepirlet7726]

True and once again only 3 presets, but at that price this is a gorgeous device, just bought a Vox Delay Lab 3 weeks ago instead of the X4, no regrets this will cover tape sounds aside, but still wondering why only 3 f...presets?

[@nifonifo]

Jean-René PIRLET should be possible with the TC toneprint editor?

[@jean-renepirlet7726]

I don't think so

[@nifonifo]

It works with the alter ego though

[@shnobeltone]

Thanks, yea some presets the modulation is a bit much, wish i could turn it down

[@soundknight]

Sorry, I'm probably getting annoying now, but do you think they will be making an extension foot pedal that links to the usb to give you extra preset selection and banking functions? Its amazingly good without it but imagine that that could solve some peoples desires.

[@shnobeltone]

Hello Brian, i have no idea, TC Electronic and Pro Guitar Shop Doesn't Tell me anything

[@pedalguru89]

Why is there no tone knob though?

[@shnobeltone]

I dont know, i wish they had more controlls

[@HewittH]

Gear priapism!

[@HIDEAFISH1]

aprendi a usar;;;; tenho um.......

[@philspill6854]

Theres a toneprint that has less modulation. Anyone?

[@WhiteWolf--]

Yes, absolutely. There a re e tons of toneprints and they are all from the flashback I believe so most of them have less or no modulation. That's the only thing I dislike about this pedal, no modulation control and it's real heavy on most of the presets

[@The8TrackChap]

Is this only a PGS exclusive?

[@lauriedepaurie]

Yep

[@martindammable]

Apparently not. A danish retailer has it too. And Thomann in Germany stocks it too. www.thomann.de/gb/tc_electronic_alter_ego_x4_vintage_echo.htm

[@enricorossetti5827]

no is not

[@betalingsringen]

No, 4Sound in Denmark and Thomann in Germany has it too!

[@SSL4K]

Alter Ego is More forward Sounding and thicker on my ears

[@paulhardman8772]

first

[@bertagriese8282]

Really? Clean sounds with the bridge pickup of a Strat? Ouch...

[@JohnPerryMusic]

Sounds freaking great man
