I haven't played in a worship setting in nearly 10 years, and although I only play at home now I love what you guys are doing for the guitar playing worship world. Thank you for all your hard work, please keep them coming, and God bless you both.

I just ordered these two pedals today to do this setup for live. Can’t wait to try it for the first time. Thanks for the video!

You guys have been a huge help for me. I just started my worship guitar journey and played battle belongs for the first song I’ve ever played live for my church. Your tutorial was a great help. Thanks guys God bless

[@liv2praz]

YES! I’ve been waiting for someone to show a good example of this exact dual setup. Thanks for doing this! Super helpful. And dang… what a sound.

[@countstoneula]

I've had the Ruby for a while now and recently got the Dream. I run them into the Walrus Audio Canvas but the Canvas does not have any phase inverting capabilities. Our console at church can flip the phase, but my interface at home can not. So I bought an XLR extension and opened it up and swapped the 1 & 2 wires on one end of the XLR... so the phase/polarity is flipped for the price of a cup of coffee. The downside I was still having is that my Bigsky is after the Ruby and Dream and still being fed an out of phase signal. I loved how it sounded there with just the Ruby, but it's quite noticeable the wetter the reverb gets. I'm going to move the Ruby & Dream to the end of the chain like you've done in this video. I reached out to UA about a firmware option in the app to flip the polarity, but I know they're not really known for acting on customer suggestions. It is what it is.

[@vicenteb531]

that swapping of the 2 wires on the xlr extension sounds great!!! sadly i am not very handy man :(

[@97guitarzan]

The amps already have some drive/distortion going and then you're running more driven tones into reverbs/delays that then all goes into the front of those amp pedals..For me I wouldn't expect that to sound great. I would set the amp pedals the way you like, run drive or distortion into front of them but then run delay, reverbs, modualtions after the UA amp pedals.

[@timremy9552]

Have you ever used an amp?

[@97guitarzan]

Ya all the time... have tube amps... Often when recording I use drive gain pedals into front of amp and then do reverbs, delays in DAW. When gigging I use effects loop in amp for delay/reverb and run gain/drive pedals into front of amp. One of my amps doesn't have effects loop and everything goes in front. With these pedal amps it's so easy to run those spacial effects after I don't know why you would want to run everything in front ....thats just me, but I'm sure many would agree. @@timremy9552

[@countstoneula]

If you do it this way all your stereo effects will be fed an out of phase signal. I know it sounds like it would be awesome, but because the two amps are out of phase it is terrible. The reverb in particular sounds so hollow because the phase is being corrected after it.

[@jerrymckenzie1858]

Really GREAT tones!

[@KelsterVonShredster]

That was awesome....man I love this channel

[@JJFuFingerStyle]

[@c3llfi5h]

About the stereo...so technically without owning the second pedal I could just add an EQ pedal to bump or cut some mids to achieve something similar for the stereo soundscape?

[@countstoneula]

Yes, and an even better trick is to load up one of the presets from the app that use two different cabs/speakers and then dial in your amp settings using a modified version of that preset. It's more than pretty decent. I also liked running a stereo chorus set really slow and mixed low.

That tone is incredible! I'd be curious to know how it sounds through a power amp and cab with the ir turned off, a lot of modelers struggle to sound as good in this context in my experience

[@cour1988]

Most people don't need a powered cab. Just use it front of house with in ears. If you don't have in ears then you probably are better off using an actual amp for on stage.

[@michaelhubbell1260]

@@cour1988 for live use I agree, but when I'm practicing at home I run my axe fx through a power amp and cab but in that context, it never sounds or feels as convincing as a traditional tube amp. I'd be curious how UA sounds in comparison

[@keldonellis]

Call me crazy… but I don’t love these UA pedals. I was so psyched to get the Dream, totally convinced it would change my life… and I just simply didn’t love it. That said, I thought it had incredible clean tones and a very responsive, amp-like feel. But once I started running drives into it, I just felt like it always had this top-end sizzle that I couldn’t control. I think there’s a reason the Iridium sounds maybe a little less “articulate”: I think they probably felt like the eq roll-off helps make it feel less digital. The Dream just had this interesting juxtaposition of very natural/responsive, while also having this digital “bite” that I just felt I couldn’t tame. Maybe I’ll give it another shot down the road, but for now I returned it and am using amps in the HX Stomp.

[@jimmykim6969]

Hey I'm currently experiencing exactly this. I'm trying to run stereo Iridium (with DH TM IRs) with the Dream '65 and I 100% am experiencing that top end sizzle.

[@BrennanRasmusson]

How would you rate the Ruby and Dream compared to your ToneMatch patches for Helix and what the Quad Cortex can do? I have plans to upgrade in the future, but I'm still not sure if I want to go the Cortex route or build out the existing HX Stomp board I have.

[@seongbinchoi917]

Great play!! I have dream and ruby in stereo and It seems that they have phase issues even after I’ve panned them. Did you set your ruby to bril channel Or normal channel??

[@bromporke]

This is what the guitarists in radiohead did I believe, at least early on with actual amps.

[@ncbassplayer]

Why can't UA add an "invert phase" toggle in the app for the Dream? Would easily solve the issue of blending it with the Ruby or Woodrow.

[@worshiptutorials]

Possibly something they could add in firmware? It would be a nice feature.

@@larryb3946 Hmm, so you ran the the ruby and dream in stereo without reversing the polarity of one of them?

The Brilliant channel on the Ruby is out of phase with the Dream. Maybe the sound person heard it and flipped phase on one channel. If not, things sound wayyyyy better when you do 😅

[@larryb3946]

@@robertgoodman1454 yes, however I am not using the brilliant channel on the Ruby. Normal channels on both. I ran a mono signal up to the MD200 which is where my signal is fed to the two UAFX amps. So each pedal is receiving the signal into the inputs and sent back out the UAFX as a mono signal to the Source Audio Collider channel 1 for ruby and channel 2 the dream. I do recall flipping the Ruby to the TB setting and it didn't sound good, I was able to get the core tone out of the normal channels. I run out of the Source Audio Collider into two Headrush frfr speakers and it really sounds quite extraordinary 👌

[@dansands6363]

When you have a stereo rig like this with two different sounding pedals panned hard left and hard right it sounds absolutely great in headphones, etc, but in the context of a live mix in church wouldn’t it not work because half the room on your right side would only hear one amp model while the other half would only be hearing what’s coming out the left? How do you solve this so everybody is getting the same core amp sound while still preserving your stereo signal?

Probably not going to find a pedal that can do what the ruby’s room reverb can do. Thanks guys

[@tjnugent62]

One part of the Ruby pedal that I would love to know is the presets. There is hardly a mention after they can show you how to save one preset on the second channel. Can the pedals do more presets? I love the pedal and have spent quite a bit of time with it. i have yet to plug it into my computer and do anything like that but do you know anything about how or how many presets this unit will hold?

[@worshiptutorials]

Presets are a bit different on this pedal than most. You only have access to one preset on the pedal itself. But in the app you can access as many as you’d like (both artist presets and the ones you save). You just have to ‘load’ whatever preset you want to the pedal and then that’s the one that is available.

I’m curious about your recording chain as I didn’t see much description. Are you using the Amp Sims? I couldn’t tell from the video. Are you going straight into an Apollo or something with a Hi-Z input? Are you using any other effect processing in the DAW? I’m asking because I just can’t get mine to sound nearly as good as all of the demos I’ve seen.

[@worshiptutorials]

The UA pedals are going straight into the line inputs of an Apollo and recorded without any other processing (apart from flipping the phase on one of the channels). So the audio in this video is basically what I’m getting straight out of the pedals.

Hey there. I’m planning to buy a fender strat, but don’t know what to choose between HSS and SSS pickups. In our church we also use some distortion. What would you recommend Brian. Need some help here. I have a pod go and I’m using some of your WT presets (gosh I love them). Thank you

[@middle_pickup]

If you're looking at something like a Fender strat you can get great tones with either. I bought my first strat in 2018, and decided on the HSS American pro with the shawbucker. Great pickup, but I later changed to a set of Lindy Fralin blues specials. You can get great drive sounds from the strat bridge pickup too. You're not sacrificing lead sounds. It's just a different kind of tone. Hope this helps.
