Love your channel dude. Great playing and insight. Instant subscriber!

[@ahmadakbarsyah8959]

That dual wreck so sick sound dude , great review🤘

[@brickmeister2128]

I can tell you have a great passion for this instrument. Great playing & sound!

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

Thank you very much!

[@william7108]

Looks like you're really digging that dual rectifier

[@DanielFPaulo]

Awesome, thanks for the video! I wish they come with AUX In though. Have you try using the headphones? Does it sounds good?

[@william7108]

Well I was thinking of the 505 n800 but I think it would be pretty cool to have these actually three pedals set up together and of course envelop all your effects with the sound you want yeah you can go crazy train or whatever it seems to encapsulate all the amps I have without having to hook all of them up together and of course blowing the roof s off all the houses in the neighborhood

[@samright4661]

The red channel on the 800 Is pure 80s hair metal goodness

[@ciphergaming8004]

Loved this premier and would love to see me of it sir @Perfecto De Castro thank you!!! you are awesome and a living legend 🔥🔥🔥

[@ciphergaming8004]

just to add I also personally loved 550 🔥🔥🔥

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

You got it! More soon!

[@william7108]

I think Dave Friedman tone talked the other night was saying something about their favorite pedals the three of them that were on that show that night was the evh pedal

[@taxo]

It'd nice to see these compared to the Laney IRF

[@william7108]

So far I think you can have fun just rigging up the three of them

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

Yeah, some sort of Triple Amp (in boxes) setup

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

[@wenchieboy8530]

I like the 550. Chunky and crispy haha.. Want to try it with more mids for lead boosts❤️❤️❤️

[@austinfailz]

I prefer the Tech 21 British to the JIMS 800. Heck, I even like the Guvnor, Shredmaster, or Drivemaster into the Cab M+ (preamp on the Cab M+ turned off).

[@william7108]

The only claim phone you're going to get off that 505 pedal from what I'm hearing that you got to cut your volume down and probably use a volume pedal

[@william7108]

That actually sounds like my 1980s JMC 800 when you have it on just 12 pretty flat sound in but you know articulating enough what the really nice marshalee clean sound you know just to have that Marshall sound before you start adding more Dimension to it tweaking it of course just a really basic nice Marshall generic sound

[@j1gamingzxc446]

Salamat sa video mo sir perf! actually, I'm planning to buy amp pedal yung may headphone jack sana since dito lang naman ako sa room at gabi nag guguitar so now nagreresearch palang ako add ko to sa list ko! and btw pinapanuod ko yung music theory playlist mo nasa part 3 palang ako haha newbie palang ngayon lang nagkaroon ng time para mag aral ng gitara ehh

[@william7108]

Yeah volume pedal for sure with the 505

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

Yep, I always use a volume pedal 1st in chain to ride gain

[@jam_nineworkz]

OT: What is that strap? Ang ganda!!!

[@Daniel-zo9hz]

As a marshall type of guy, Idk why I liked the sound of 550...

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

It’s like a great combination of the Dual Wreck and 800

[@tomwilson9010]

Body of the 800 with the sizzle of the dual rec. Beautiful

[@orangenotviolet]

Its almost hilarious and at least pathetic how Behringer jumps on the UAFX Train. I can wait until UA comes out with some Hi Gain Amps. I think we‘ll see them before Christmas.

[@william7108]

I'm going to make a t-shirt that says practice make your self particular

[@nebula421]

how does this work if I want to use the clean channel on my marshall jcm2000 instead of the clean channel of the dual wreck while being in a pedalboard?

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

You can engage the effect bypass footswitch mode instead of channel switching

[@nebula421]

@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro I noticed that you have to press down on both buttons to do that..seems a bit tricky to do in the heat of a song

[@nopisful]

langya parang yung dual rec pa ang lumabas na manipis kumpara dun sa dalawa, paborito ko pa naman yun hehe nice one boss Perf

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

Scooped talaga character ng Dual Rec, makapal pakiramdam tugtugin pero sa recording mas rinig yung presence

[@william7108]

I mean I guess you'd be in guitar string heaven

[@william7108]

Yeah and I have a ton of power amps and I guess you were using a TC Electronics preamp? But I guess you can use any kind of a preamp and blow this to a configuration of all kinds of different speakers which I have those also and probably don't have to worry too much about all the impedances maybe just running around 16 ohms or 8 ohms and of course in Stereo and probably get the same time you're getting here

[@michaelgkane]

Great video! Question about using these pedals with the plethora. Since these do not have an fx loop, do you place the plethora before the ampworx? In a live setting, I’d love to use my plethora x5 AFTER the ampworx and then to mixer, but would I then have to use the non-DI out? Or could I run the DI out to the plethora and then to the mixer? Thanks!

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

You’re on the correct path 🙂 for this video I have the Ampworx DI out going into Plethora then into my interface. If I’m going to use it with a real guitar amp, I’ll move the cable from Ampworx DI to regular out the then entire rig’s oitput goes into the amp’s effects return

[@michaelgkane]

Interesting, thanks! I wasn’t sure if I’d need a separate DI box AFTER the plethora when going to the mixer, or if I could just go DI Out > Plethora > mixer.

[@The_Ricardo_Sa]

@@michaelgkane I guess you can also put it into the loop of the plethora then you can use compression or whatever effect before and after. From another video the IR would not affect the reverb/delay, but you could also use the one in the plethora x5 too - there are several there - and if I am not mistaken you can even load more into there

[@william7108]

God now I want to go to my aunt ambience man that was always fun going over there she made finger sandwiches she made lemonade she made chocolate fudge and brownies and everything you can imagine cookies and cakes and chocolate muffins to and little albacore tuna fish sandwiches Pumpernickel Rye

[@jose_simon]

Hey Perfecto, José from TC here. Phenomenal review as usual! Since you mention you’re a Marshall guy, what would be your ideal amp model + setup?

[@quiksilver78]

The Combo Deluxe (65' => 65 feet)

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

Hey Jose! Thanks for the comment and I’m glad you liked the video! If you’re ever planning an SLO-100 amp model, put me first in line for it 😉

[@johnsavchak8202]

​@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastrohell yeah...$149 for a "damn close" SLO...

[@william7108]

I was trying to say you might have to use an EQ with it also

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

Hahaha thanks to clarifying 😂 damn auto-correct

Why is the bottom left hand corner of the screen obscured?

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

Edge of my Macbook screen got in the frame

[@william7108]

Wonder what single coil pickups would sound like through that 505

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

I guess I forgot to play with split coils, sorry about that.It’s still pretty beefy

[@joelspaulding5964]

Like a Strat through a 5150, one would think🤷

would be better / if its a digital unit to put your desired channels via computer whatever amp

That’s already out and it’s called ToneX 😉

[@yowild9629]

@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro guess you dont understand what this unit is …

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

Understand it perfectly, you want something that you can load these amp models into like a Toneprint. That’s not available yet, but you can do the same thing with ToneX and that is already out.

[@joelaustin5440]

I love evh 5150..does that pedal really close to evh 5150 amp?

More closer to the Peavey 5150 than the EVH

[@sergiiantonov565]

All this pedals doesn’t make sense. Any way you have to plug in to some amp. It’s better to buy amp itself

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

The world does not make sense 😂

[@someonehadtosayit2566]

Well I mean, $150 to turn your current amp into a 3k amp so I mean, there’s that.

[@PostColorGear]

You don't. You can plug into a monitor and pretend this is your amp. The benefit is that you get an amp sound with a speaker simulation and don't have to carry an amp around

[@sergiiantonov565]

@@PostColorGear you just can buy amp and don’t need to be pretending. Ha Ha Ha. Monitors, pc , sounds fun. For example . On the second market you can found tube combo. Marshall or Peavey or 5150 .. for $500. And don’t need spend money to buying pedals. TC electronic wants you spend your money on new product.

[@charliegearhart2561]

No one is going to buy any of those pedals for cleans. Don't waste our time with cleans just start by dimming the knobs

[@Leychen]

Oh i wouldn't say that, not everyone plays Black Metal only. These should work nice as clean pedal platform, for post-rock or whatever. I also use the clean channel of my Engl amps more than the hi-gain aswell, but it's always nice to have thick gain sound for heavy riffs
