Yeah..I plugged into it at our gig last weekend & it sounded SWEET!
Ran it into my Two 30 Watt Laboga The Beast heads..miked them up in stereo & the sound was crushing!
Talking about this baby:
Had my eye on one since they were first introduced a short while ago. Finally pulled the trigger..
Running it in stereo gives me, as the only guitar player in my band ..a pretty authentic sounding "twin guitar" attack. A bit of panning it sounded so convincing the sound guy could'nt believe what he was hearing..dude was really impressed and asked me what I was using for it. Off-stage it sounded massive ..I used the 2+1 setting (middle position on the toggle) which is basically my original track and two simulated tracks...then I switched to the 2+2 mode (toggle down) for our Bolt Thrower cover at the end of our set ..sounded so massive, juicy saturated and thick...just like Bolt Thrower, everyone at the gig was telling me later how sick it sounded & guys from other bands there wanted to know what the hell I'd used
Now tbh, it's never going to sound exactly like multiple guitars ... the extra "guitar tracks" will always be a hair behind the original track being played...obviously..since it can't second guess what's coming, but having said that, it's a very, very convincing & cool sounding solution for a single guitar player in a band if he'd like to simulate a pretty authentic twin guitar sound. Gets you 90% of the way....
I'm yet to try it in a recording, but I'm keen to give that a go as well. It's just that I've not yet got the hang of my new DAW/ comp recording setup, so it'll have to wait till I do...
When used in mono..it's not half as convincing. All it really seems to do is thicken things up a bit. There is'nt enough separation between the tracks to really emulate multiple guitars, but it's still usable, sounds really good and definitely does thicken things up nicely.
Anyways ..just a heads up for a really cool pedal
