[@jessesmit2907]

I want another lifetime to devote to learning all of the licks Shawn plays in these videos....

[@davidrhoderick6032]

This is the best C.A.B. M demo IMO. I've seen a bunch already and some have some better information but the side-by-side of different settings is much better executed here. Good job!

[@RabeaMassaad]

Such damn tasty playing dude!

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks so much, Rabea! You always sound awesome!

[@AntonovichHicksenbrau]

Both o you... !

[@Firebrandrock]

Better and better each time I listen by ten fold....I support your endeavor....smokin.....

[@JazzStrat781]

Absolutely killer playing, always excited to see your new demo videos! Inspiring to the max, best to you man

[@DarioGrillo]

Wonderful live performance ..the dissonances very cool ! In clean and crunch sound very very nice ...it's almost like a real valve so good torpedo !

[@mikebledsoe2315]

*The capability to play direct with just a pedalboard to PA, or pedalboard into a powered cab using a preamp style pedal is a live performance game changer. Awesome demo Shawn*

[@NikolausBrocke]

You are such a great guitar player. Your phrasing, outside/inside liquid playing - it's so much joy to listen to your playing.

[@chriskilian2325]

The best demo of this pedal. You do incredible work Shawn

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks very much Chris!

[@StratTickler]

Spectacular demo, playing, tone, clarity. Loved that you threw in your b5 Maj triad idea to take it out in the beginning. Absolutely killin'!!! Now, I have to buy the unit. I've been using 2 H&K red boxes in stereo for decades. It's time to upgrade... well... it was time years ago lol

[@rudiekazu]

This guy is so clean and tight it is unreal...I've been hooked into Josh Smith and Andy Wood lately...but Shawn is still a cut above...best song writer, player - producer out here today...the Tone and Timing are so spot on and the performance is frickin great..I could listen to this every day...and i do

[@kennsmith]

I am a retired professional touring and session musician, a lot of the guys from my day have passed on or retired themselves. It is good to see a person, musician like you presenting these videos. Great gear, demonstration, great advice, and excellent playing. I may have bumped into you at a NAMM show once in Nashville, I’m not sure. Maybe we will bump into one another somewhere on the road again. Great content, excellent job, take care.

[@johnpierson8398]

Just have to say, the sound, tones and music on this video are great! That Two Notes pedal sounds killer. But it's the guitar playing, choice of notes and personality that make this video so awesome..

[@oldguysguitarvlog183]

Dude! That lick at 0:56ish was insane!! That opening track sound like a kicked up "Born Under a Bad Sign". Awesome stuff. Gorgeous PRS, too. Very cool product and sounds beautiful. Wow. I'm in awe of how great the tech is becoming. Excellent demo, Shawn! Thanks!

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks! I did a lesson on it! ;)

[@ShawnTubbs]

Also!!! Good ears! "Born Under a Bad Sign" is such a great jam by Albert King although I was made more aware of it by Robben Ford on the "Talk To Your Daughter" album. I could be wrong but it's a Booker T original? Anyways, thanks for the comment!!

[@oldguysguitarvlog183]

@@ShawnTubbs OMG man, I was totally thinking about Robben's solo on "Talk to Your Daughter"! The original was recorded by Albert King in 1967 for Stax Records, but was indeed written by Booker T. You are DA MAN!

[@wizardsouthJP]

Could listen to this style of playing all day, nicely done man 👍🏻

[@Taylor-kd6lr]

Incredible playing as usual Shawn.I’ve been listening to Nothing but Demolition the last few days. Looking forward to if and when you release vol 2.

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks so much for supporting me! It means a lot.

[@Taylor-kd6lr]

Thanks Shawn. That means a lot coming from you.

[@jakollee]

Great opening jam! (I know, I'm repeating myself.) Key of C# is great for heavy sounding riffs, with that open E string as the minor 3rd. Absolutely love your soloing.

[@greggoryblock1071]

Just ordered mine! Thanks for this great video explaining everything. Cant wait to use this live and not lug a cab and my 57 mic to all my gigs!

Shawn, I'd be totally fine with you just uploading a 2-3 hour video of your self noodling and playing away. I wanna steal every lick of yours!! Great review! :)

[@averagejer]

This is the best demo of the cabm out right now. Great work.

[@horizonxx_1]

That rev g 4 sounded amazing might get one for my torpedo live

Great video Shawn! I was looking for something like this to add speaker IRs to my amp and silent attenuator load in my studio. You just sold me on it :)

[@kennsmith]

Amazing playing as always....... great demonstration.

[@ayiepong]

Awesome video. This is just what I needed to see. I just ordered this and I'm gonna be running my revv g2 and g3 into it along with chorus and delay pedals then out into my interface

[@VonBluesman]

Amazing product and demo. Thanks.

[@mheyl180]

Another fantastic demo, love the groove and tune, Shawn!!

[@dryocum]

Really great demo Shawn! I just ordered one. Can’t wait to get it!

[@michaellastiwka]

Thanks for this great video. I am really impressed by the CAB M and am looking forward to getting one soon here in Edmonton. And also thanks for going deep into the controls, it really put me at ease that I will be able to dial in a great tone without out too much insanity (because I think I could sit on it for hours trying a million different combinations). I'll be using it after my Le Clean with OCD or BE OD in front. Looking forward to the result!

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks so much for watching Michael! I think you'll be happy with that setup!

[@hikersailer505]

Great playing, great tutorial. I plan to buy one when it is available.

[@sandyturner1911]

Dude! You are such a tasty player. I love your demos. I'm thinking of getting one of these to go between my amp and my interface.. Seems like a smaller, more affordable way to get good recordings.

[@markinthemix6055]

Awesome demo. Killer product. I really would like to see some bass guitar demo with this Shawn You ROCK 🙌🏻

[@fatherjacques]

Great video as usual. Very informative!

[@willrayment9544]

This is an awesome review/demo. The only person fudging things up is me sitting here listening to it through a phone speaker.... one for a good set of headphones me thinks. Excellent content. Lovely playing.

[@normjones6916]

very detailed information and monster licks , keep up the great work

[@littleNUKE393]

Pre ordered one from sweetwater late last week, and than Shawn uploads a demo. Glad I pulled the trigger. Going to use a Kingsley Pre amp to drive it direct.

[@matthieucroset]

How is it working with your Kingsley preamp? Sound is good?

[@dewberry3043]

Pre order justified. Thanks for this one. Excited to pair it with the KSR Ceres.

[@georgebarry8640]

22:45 is just distortion pedal into C.A.B. M

[@ShawnTubbs]

Yep it's the REVV G4 into the Two notes. Though it's a distortion pedal by definition, it functions well as a preamp.

[@georgebarry8640]

Yes,agreed. @@ShawnTubbs I was only posting to help others navigate the video. btw: You're a phenomenal player. Nice chops!

[@ShawnTubbs]

@@georgebarry8640 Thanks so much for the kind words and for tuning in!!

[@blekenbleu]

Seemingly most noticeable with the traditional tele, and particularly at high gain, some mid resonances came with the real cab not there with the Torpedo. The best solution might be to record via Torpedo, avoiding stray mic pickup, while still driving a real cab for those resonances.

[@stevenowen82]

Superb review Shawn! Can this be used into a clean amp then to my cab.? In other words I want to use it as a tone enhancer per se. I don’t record and as you can tell I’m totally new to IRs. Thanks to anyone who can educate me. 😊

[@planzed463]

Hey dude, nice vid - hope you’re well! Btw I found that if you put the 57 off axis to around 23-28 (depending on the cone) you can have the 57 louder in the blend 👍🏼

[@JJDPROMEDIAPRODUCTION]

Great Tome Shawn!!

[@kimhansen6384]

Really good review. It looks like everybody only uses the 6L6 amp sim, as if the others do not sound good?

Well I'm supposed to be doing a tutorial based on the solos off of my Demolition record through SoundSlice. I'll keep you posted.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Oooh nice. Can't wait. Love your style dude.

[@MagnumOpus007]

Great demo, Shawn! Question- if using a tube amp head and cab: I run the head into the " Amp In" and use the "Speaker Out" to the speaker cab. Can I add reverb to a head that does not have reverb, with this set up? Or is reverb only available with the headphone/line out?

[@adrianknox8301]

Great demo Shawn! Could you run a pedalboard in front (overdrives, delay, etc.) and go direct into a pa and get a good sound? Playing in church.

[@garyclements6946]

I can answer that. Yes. Two-Notes focuses on that. I don't have my Cab M yet, but built my board in preparation for the Cab M. My chain is as follows: Fender Level Set Buffer > Tuner (not in chain - buffer has out put just for tuner) > Compressor > Tube Screamer > 1st Noise Reduction > Soul Food > Fulltone Drive 3 > 2nd Noise Reduction > Two-Notes Le Clean > 1st Delay > 2nd Delay > Reverb > Cab M > PA. Currently, until the Cab M is added, after reverb I go out to an EQ Pedal then into a basic DI Box that has 1 standard Cab Sim then out to PA. As soon as the Cab M hits the board, the EQ pedal & basic DI will go away & I'll EQ everything in the Cab M. So, yes, the Cab M is specifically made to do away with the need for an Amp. The Cab M matched with any of the Le Preamps is a match made in heaven. 😊

[@martintomkins]

Great demo as always Shawn x. Am I missing something or would this bit of gear have been more useful with stereo ins and outs for stereo pedalboards to record direct? :-/

[@ShawnTubbs]

A stereo version would be cool! Thanks for watching!

[@sketchandjam]

Better get two of them for stereo lol.

[@dennischiacchiari]

Hey Shawn! Great demos! Great playing! What's for you the best "Hendrix, Doyle Bramhall II" sounding Synergy module?

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks Dennis! I would look at the METROPOULOS METRO PLEX PRE-AMP.

[@dennischiacchiari]

Thank you so much, really kind. Hope to see you in Italy. Cheers

[@willdenham]

Will this blue tooth to a phone/tablet, like the Torpedo X?

[@EricLyke]

Another super informative and thorough demo - thank you! What were you loading your thru signal with? Cab in your loud room or RL box? Thinking that this in tandem with an RL box would be excellent for a home studio guy (like me) that can't always mic cabs. Love all the tweaks for mics, eq, verb, etc.

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks, Eric! Any RL box would be great!

[@EricLyke]

@@ShawnTubbs Now do I run the RL after or go through the RL into the Cab M? I would assume the first as the RL is just replacing the speaker? Thanks again.

[@ShawnTubbs]

@@EricLyke Run into the CAB M first and then to the RL.

[@SteepRZ]

Great video! Can I use the program without the Torpedo C.A.B. connected? I'd like to use the program such a plugin in my PC with my DAW.

[@MeTuLHeD]

Wow! Goodbye modelers. Hello favorite pedal into a C.A.B. M.

[@Dialetheist]

Great demonstration Shawn! If I understand correctly, you can you use the CAB as a practice/rehearsal 'amp' by plugging in your guitar and headphones and nothing else? No preamp or computer?

[@ShawnTubbs]

You can use headphones but you have to keep in mind that the CAB M doesn't have an on board reactive load.

[@Dialetheist]

@@ShawnTubbs Thanks!

[@wabwabb8798]

how much differences in terms of sound between the CAB M and the cab sim from hx stomp and GFI cabzeus?

[@PezSWRP]

If the amp has a DI or line out then it can go straight into the cab m without the need for a load box ?

[@claudevieaul1465]

Great sound and smooth playing!! I noticed on your left hand you don't use your pinky a lot, even when playing intricate licks - something I got rapped on the knuckles about when I learned to play... I still mostly use 3 fingers and the pinky comes in play when it has to - seems to know that without my brain getting involved 😜

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks very much!! Yeah, I guess I tend to omit my pinky finger more than not. I never really thought much about it but I guess if the end result ends up sounding like music, all bets are off. ;)

[@tortillaman2491]

For what those pedals go for, i wish it was a do-it-all pedal with a pre/EQ.

[@manologomez4345]

hello, how it sounds straihgt to headphones?

[@dagoelius]

Its a great pedal, the only downside is considering the cost, you have to pay to downloads the really great amp sims from the Two Notes library which are not in the pedals own library.

[@YMESYDT]

Sorry if this is a silly question, but did you hook the cab m directly between your amp and speaker? I know it doesn’t have a load, so as long as your cab is still in there it’ll be fine and won’t get fried?

[@ShawnTubbs]

Yes, you'll need to run from the speaker out to the input on the C.A.B. M and then out from the C.A.B. M to your speaker cab or compatible load box.

[@protocosm]

Hi Shawn, have you checked out the massive update Two Notes released?

[@ShawnTubbs]

I actually haven't got around to checking it out. I need to do that.

[@daveguiney]

Amazing review, as always, Shawn! Quick question (sorry if it's been answered, I couldn't find it) with a speaker cab connected for load purposes, is it possible to mute the thru signal?

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks so much for watching!! Muting the thru signal is not possible but I would reach out to Two notes about that and see what suggestions they may have.

[@daveguiney]

@@ShawnTubbs Thanks for replying, man! Keep up the FANTASTIC work.

[@ChrisBuonoGuitar]

Excellent job. Curious to see the comparison between this and the straight up C.A.B. Or, is that product discontinued with this model replacing it?

[@ShawnTubbs]

Thanks, Chris! I don't think the C.A.B. is being discontinued. Seems like the main difference between the two is the CAB M isn't a dedicated load box.

[@ChrisBuonoGuitar]

Looks like it is, brotha. I got a reply back from them last night saying the C.A.B. is being phased out.

[@ShawnTubbs]

@@ChrisBuonoGuitar Wow I did not know that. Thanks Chris.

[@stephenfell4338]

When using the unit as an Amp DI is it better to go in the effect loop rather than the front so by passing the pre amp stage? Especially when using a le crunch pedal in the signal chain. Thank you for a valuable demo

[@ShawnTubbs]

If you're using a preamp it would be best in my opinion to go into the effects return. Thanks for watching!

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Soooooo when do we get Demolition 2!!!!!

[@ShawnTubbs]

When "1" has been demolished? You're the best Robert!!!

[@lunastrat]

You know, that first sound reminds me of Leslie West.

[@veerchasm1]

There used to be a Shawn Tubbs in a band called the Violet Burning back in the Ancient 90’s, are you him?

[@veerchasm1]

Apparently not, I didn’t get a little ❤️ thingy on your comment 😂

[@j.b.4867]

Would you prefer the OPUS over the C.A.B.M+?

[@ShawnTubbs]

I don't have any experience with the OPUS.

[@JRivera]

What are the advantages or disadvantages of going amp in and cab or using the line out straight to the amp? If i wanted my whole pedalboard to go to from of house?

[@jaimemontesdeoca9386]

just noticed the shirt are you from Staten Island?

[@guitargravitas]

Great tone Shawn. In regards to recording tone (without considering attenuation/load box ...), if you had to chose between the Torpedo vs the UA OX what would be your choice?

[@ShawnTubbs]

I guess it would depend on your needs. The true comparison would be the Torpedo Studio and the UA. I have a Torpedo studio and I use it with preamps because it has line inputs and power amp simulation, but I lean on the UA OX when I want to plug an amp head into it. They're both really good products.

[@guitargravitas]

Thanks a lot for your response Shawn. Basically looking for the unit that delivers the "best/most realistic" miced cab tone for recording at my home studio when plugging an amp to it. I checked your video about the OX and you got a great tone from it. Also having both the Torpedo and the OX, do you still feel the need to record from a miced real cab? Is there anything that you still miss in these units in regards to how realistic they sound?

[@giulianosoranno8911]

Hi, sorry for the late comment.. When you used the Torpedo in conjunction with the Dirty Shirley, did you use a load box before the Cab M or did you connect a real cab through the Torpedo? Thx Giuliano

[@ShawnTubbs]

I ran the speaker out into my Suhr Reactive Load Box for all of the amps.

[@giulianosoranno8911]

Shawn Tubbs which i.r. Loader do you prefer in conjunction with the Suhr reactive?, and witch ones are the best i.r. In your opinion? Tnx 👋

[@ShawnTubbs]

@@giulianosoranno8911 In conjunction with any reactive load box, the M box makes the most sense.

[@corymoore5093]

What kind of humbucker is in your Suhr?

[@BlairNeis]

hey man! great demo! can you use this straight from a pedalboard? like JHS morning glory > Strymon timeline > C.A.B M > PA? Or does an Preamp from a Head or Combo have to be involved?

[@ShawnTubbs]

Depends on the pedal. The REVV G4 serves well as a preamp. With the MG you would probably need some sort of preamp.

[@HowardBobson]

My big question on this is, in order to use the amp function you need an amp "out" and a speaker "in". So this would likely be heads and cabs right? For combo amps there isn't always a clear amp "out" and speaker "in" so you wouldn't be able to use the pure amp function right?

[@ShawnTubbs]

It can absolutely work with a combo. Reach out to Two Notes online and let them know which combo amp you have.

[@AntonovichHicksenbrau]

Are we hearing your Amp AND the XLR feed?

[@ShawnTubbs]

You're only hearing the XLR output.

[@iamryanman]

So essentially I can get a tone (cab) and Mics I like within this. And go straight into the front of house at a venue with this along with my pedals ? Currently I do this using my tech 21 sans amp. But I’m feeling like this has worlds more of an option. Any input on this would be great

[@ShawnTubbs]

If you're not going to use an amp at all I would suggest still using the SansAmp as a preamp into the CAB M. What pedals are on your board?

[@liontone]

Can the line out be dry (no sim) while the XLR has the emulation?

[@ShawnTubbs]

I don't think so. If you're not using an amp and just using a preamp, I would suppose you could run out of the speaker out and use it as your non-IR.

[@musicmann1967]

I'm very late to the party here! Can you tell me what the signal chain was to the DAW and where you placed the load box in your chain?

[@ShawnTubbs]

XLR out > Line input Apogee Quartet. Speaker out > Loadbox.

[@musicmann1967]

@@ShawnTubbs Thanks Shawn! I just bought one and was thinking of different ways can use it, especially with my Power Station attenuator not only as the load box but efx loop too. I think I get it though. Your demo was great. Thanks!
