All user reviews for the Roger Linn Design AdrenaLinn III

all necessary effects to scratch, we can edit them via software (SoundTower) for a fee, but it's worth,

drum sounds sound very warm, so many possibilities of styles in the editor,

controllable and synchronized south, from his favorite sequencer,

UTILIZATION

sountower with this is childish, but it's OK, it's long +, directly AdrenaLinn,

SOUND QUALITY

great effects very realistic, in sync with the beat,
the amp sounds + successful market (line 6 to throw out)

OVERALL OPINION

boîboîte super, above market modellers to scratch at the realistic amp tones and effects,

That's it I transform my AdrenaLinn II III.
New CHARACTERISTICS are:
- 40 amps simultaneously with an increased level of quality lamps.
- A compressor
- Stereo Reverb
- 200 preset sounds and 200 drum presets
- A tuner
- The possibility to initiate a more effective way of bypass
- Possibility to assign the controls on the pedals twelve o'clock
- New sound of drums
- Possibility to trigger drum sounds via MIDI
- A post distortion control on a sharp addition to the t amp simulations
- A boost can be dclanchbr /> - The new noise gate is more transparent
- The Stereo Pan is now adjustable
- The attack and the Dlay dcroissance are paramttrable
- Four new effects (Auto Pan, Wah Pedal, Fixed Filter and Sci-Fi
- Each preset can have its own tempo
- The Dlay was a control variant of acute paramtrable each rptition
- The drums may be subject to a distortion effect or rduction high frequencies
- A combination of keys supplmentaire achieves all new paramtres
- The output level of a T increases

UTILIZATION

The configuration of functions and the use of AdrenaLinn seems complicated at first, but reading the APRS leaflet carefully we repre cell becomes relatively easy and fun trs.
This is clearly a device for its hackers.
There is a software edition which should facilitate the work but research manual is more rewarding me.
In fact my principle never to save the presets I cre. Cel forces me to invent new sounds for each song instead of the same rpter recipes.

SOUND QUALITY

I liked the quality sound dj lot of version II. The amp simulations n'tait forcment flateuse not only the headphone but it is very easy plaait in a mix and contributed to a large EHJV the song.
All new version paramtres normment III brings in sound quality. The original sound of the guitar is well respected. AdrenaLinn but it is especially the possibility of CRER sounds weird, spacey, techno, futuristic invraissemblables and this view is the only device that can turn your guitar synthtiseur, arpgiateur, etc..
Coming just had the update I have not any test but after an hour I believe.
Personally I do not use drums part (I prfre real drums and a real drummer even bad like me) but the new sounds and rhythms seem much better than before.

OVERALL OPINION

Roger Linn hits hard with her new trs small box. Good rises for all adrnalinn aficionado.
The upgrade kit can be assembled in days 5 minutes. J'apprcie sincrement this Socit respects his former clients by allowing them to update their hardware cheaply 96.59 in this case (the port).
It is on a device that is DIFFERENT from the competition. It can hang or dcourager. For my part I'm really a fan trs. I recommend it to REALLY adventurous sound and express it. Congratulations Mr. Linn.

See below, he explains very well

UTILIZATION

dja posssseur as of version 2, I sail in familiar territory so yes the sound is quite edition simple.par against those who do not speak English, you dbrouillez RCup rer the manual II silent translated into French in order to understand the principle of the machine (the 4 knob which notte rglent eight different parameters each)
Finally, the possibility to edit the sounds live on computer seems to bring even greater ease (but not essy date)

So I put 8 but only because the manual is only available in English

SOUND QUALITY

Is that the returns to the heart of the matter

before tournament everything I prcise I'm a fan of the twisted ... the good old analog amp lamps (marshall, orange TT, H & k triamp) but good use was in a room (from the TT ) is not always empty! (Volume, heating time, various connections etc. ..)
more like many, I often made the yo-yo between pedals and multi effects simulators and Varis different thing: the AdrenaLinn is the only "multi-effect" that I kept (with the first pod pro g nration) and even I upgradbr />
gnral the batteries are even better than that of the version II (terrible the honky tonk woman!) simulation and marshall are stunning, notte by lightweight crunch or poussbr /> the original dual rgl is the correct nag (too), but lower the saturation just half Boost mdiums and you have a sound that has "balls"

the same for the fender, play on the drive, bass, mid, high and see why so many people looking for vintage amps
about the effects they taient dja good on the previous version and apart from the arpeggiator is still DLIR (who said hard place in rock and roll?) c ' Vibrato is the bluff me.
Finally, you know many of you Dlay which automatically snap to the tempo (like the modulations that matter)?

So I put 9 but only because I find the preset hendrix a bit of a caricature (the nag rgl version works)

OVERALL OPINION

was 2 years that I have the beast, and I just upgrade yesterday (Roger Linn command line, cost about 80 all inclusive)
for +, I would say based simple tool to take in hand, a grain gnral analog low enough that we want well rgler a bit and especially the capacity of publisher and exhaustive audit of (computer program cheap, controllable by pdalier pm)

also fortunate to have a little box in his amp, effects, rhythm and its box to play with headphones with great sound without making shit its neighbors or simply for those who want to type all beef without lugging power plug into the mixer and the poto not ashamed of his sound (unlike)

Finally, in enregistremnt (on cubase for example) to render without onions to cabbage

without wishing to advertising are still some big names in music using this little box

the -

Premium headset and a PA system but on an amp (surtoput lamps is left wanting). but in any case, the base is not made to a (it has to I keep the pod pro
Congratulations Roger!

edit from 30/08/2008

I put a BMOL for what I have at the connection to amp
at least in terms of effects, reverb, vibrato, as an insert in the effects loop of my marshall, is really!
(With amp simulation dsactve course)

and yet another edit
just to say that the service of SAV roger linn vraimment is bluffing:
I shit on the processor (which was burning after a while): rodger direct mail, direct rponse roger and sends two processors replacement without the fuss for 0: I must say that I ' I made this request ... a year after the purchase and the exchange mail with rodger has made the greatest of ease without suspicion or question the con;
trying to do with a LINE6 or another ....
So even if some cranky can make comments on the sound reproduction (very often because they did not really look at the beast), it is their right, <strong>level monitoring and sav, few-or PAS-of manufacturers can boast of such quality and such srieux (I precise: direct purchase from Roger Linn Design )!!!!</strong>

See the manufacturer&#39;s website for the characteristics

there is a PC editor paid (sound Tower) ... and fortunately saw the ergonomics of the machine! And again, it is not very practical.

There&#39;s Midi IN and OUT, fortunately also because it is not the aves 2 programmable switches unfortunate we get to manage all this stuff for chanegr sounds en route. Moreover, many users the couple to a Behringer FCB1010 MIDI foot controllers via twelve o&#39;clock to set galleys. This is the only way to exploit the bacanne live. Not looking, I tried, it did not and I marce heavy for the FCB1010 Roland FC300 that I use today controller something else.

UTILIZATION

The ergonomics of the machine is a bit special but quickly found his bearings about editing sound itself.

However the programming of rhythm is a real shit and is the prehistory with its systems and grid of LEDs on the abscissa and the ordinate, it&#39;s like back in the days of drum machines of the 80s. I do not how little voice easily program this function without the software publisher. Roger Linn was tell me that this function was reduced to the essential ... it&#39;s really exaggerated. Those who look forward to the idea of ​​making fools of patches with arpégiatteur may be wary, editing of this effect using the same matrix as editing rhythms and the galley hello.

SOUND QUALITY

Synchronized effects are interesting, we do mumuse with time but given the complexity of programming (especially arpégiatteurs), allowed to fall soon ... and their usefulness is quite random. There are sounds interesting find anyway. It&#39;s a hacker Bécanne of course but ... it&#39;s really inconvenient to use.

The reverb is zero, really!
The compressor is absolutely useless and produces a pumping effect on a disgusting low.
The stereo effect of each effect is adjustable .. Finally, if you will, as soon as one is in stereo, it was a ping pong left right on the chorus and the time is left, incomprehensible.

The drum sounds are nice, warm enough and have the advantage of not being thus avoiding too many to be shit to exlorer endless banks of sounds on a computer. I concocted a few anyway electoral drumbeat that had the mouth ... phew!

As for tube amp emulations, to stop the crap we heard much better on a line 6 Pod 1st generation ... almost 10 years ago. It&#39;s cold, aggressive, not at all realistic (take a simulated AC30, so here&#39;s a AC30 sound, I am a priest). As for the dynanmique own tube amp at any self-respecting by adjusting his game, it is absolutely not respected. It sounds really ELECTRONICS low end. Remain the fender amp emulations that are doing quite well as well as bass amp. Anyway, even with a consience Bécanne this price can not work miracles ... the sound quality is really limited and I doubt that the Bécanne rix of similar fare better.

Worst of all, it is likely the internal build quality is poor, an electronic noise is always present, and switches produce plays RECALLING the effect of microphonics on a skyscraper which is poorly shielded electronics. Impossible to clean with a recording here. Shame!

Roger Linn Design is a small box, here smacks of artisan (who at least has the merit that his boss to answer you personally with any questions) but I do not know where they are manufactured here ...

OVERALL OPINION

Tired of the home PC: I was looking for a versatile Bécanne to do everything so as to accompany me to play rhythm in bars. I found the mixed side drum machine emulator + Amp interesting: direct console and hop. But then, the concept of the machine but it is all to do the kind of machine that is supposed to do everything at once but that hurts. Either it is sold and known for its effects as for its amp simulations and BAR but why in this case to as many functions in a box if it is to have a sound quality so sloppy?

Bought 300 euros in October 2008 from Thomann, I found the money RAPORT honorable before connecting. But it served a month and half ago, in the closet and then sold mid January, shoo! This product is not worth over 150 euros, it&#39;s really the stuff of beginner who has never played on a real tube amp ... Guitar Rig or used PC!

I should have to try it before buying it, we did not find that version 2 in France when I bought it. It will take me no more.

After this unfortunate experience, I began to Macbook, Ableton Live, Guitar Rig, of course, is not the same budget but here at least it provides!

Nothing to add! refer to the first opinion on the comprehensive features of the new AdrenaLinn III.
An up-to-day major

UTILIZATION

Of course, the ergonomics of the beast is not simple. But a ten year old child cope, if he took the trouble to read the manual, which does not seem to be the case for the author of the previous opinion.
A big good point for the manual, which, even in English, is very well done.

SOUND QUALITY

So, I fully subscribe odds with the previous opinion, too negative to be honest.

the tube amps, I know. I work today Hiwatt and Mesa Boogie, so I will not let anyone pretend that nothing will know to appreciate the AdrenaLinn.

This machine works great, it is necessary to actually give a little bother to adjust the drive and EQ, and factory presets (admittedly often over-dosed distortion) proved easily correctable, are then obtained emulations quite convincing.

the contribution of the reverb is fundamental to the quality of emulations, the compressor turns a little gadget indeed.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this box since version two, that is to say almost three years (?).
I use it almost exclusively for the simulation models, which I find very compelling in all, more than the Pod, in my case.
I appreciate the variety of stamps we have on hand, the speed of editing.

4 endless knobs, 3 knobs, 2 switches, 15 cm of happiness.

It is a multi-effect pedal format of guitar, bass, synth, mandolin, what you actually want. The versatility of this box is impressive. This is the first multi-sounding that I try with all my guitars, my baritone, my bass, my and my nordrack2 sh32, a pretty incredible.

It&#39;s all numrique, you can upgrade when a new version comes out. "It is interesting because the upgrade is not very expensive (less than 100 with shipping), but a bit boring because of the sudden the dashboard is really loaded with the addition of new features over the ADII.

AdrenaLinn is equipped with a MIDI input / output with an editor software made Soundtower which is quite expensive (like $ 40) but worth it: with everything can edit rhythms including the box, order and quickly find its presets, etc.. much more easily than on the facade of BCAN.

The jack is between 6.35 basic (too bad there is no in between for other stereo instruments as a guitar), and a stereo output in 6.35 too. A fairly standard power supply, damage that has not work on batteries, the gear.

There is a headphone output, which is handy.

Small pads under the pedal height is DIFFERENT, which tilts the facade to the user, has not seem much but it is also practiced in home studio use.

UTILIZATION

Gnrale configuration is complex but easy:

- Given the amount of industrial Paramtres ditables and the small number of knobs available, it is complicated to departure. We can even change the order of effects as a Boss GT and the default is that you can change the order modulation / amp / compression, damage can not put forward rverbe compressor .... Some things are particulirement pnibles: gender to enable the tuner (a questionable usefulness but good), it is necessary to support short and long press the switch on the right; kind for the CASC Paramtres side effects must be pressed at the same time on two buttons separated by a 2 mm cm ... One has the impression of having bought a MFB 502 and at the beginning, has nerve.

- But thanks to the excellent manual and ct intuitive interface has APRS goes well the first days of dsorientation. Et .. There is a software publisher as I said, and everything becomes instantaneous and empty.

SOUND QUALITY

I do not know of any pedal that has the same possibilities of tampering ADII a sound. The possibilities for filtering, delay, flanger calluses on the MIDI tempo are incredible. It can synchronize squenceur via MIDI for all who hold the tempo of the song, including the tremolo!

Bizarrodes effects are the prerogative of the DA and everyone knows a. But what about the effects "normal"? To compare, I tried with the same guitar on the same turn my amp and my ADII ToneLab desktop. The ADII is quieter, less buzz, the noise gate is more efficient and distos equally formidable. In addition to shelving the rglage (the possibility of lower acute post amp simulation as if it had an EQ Behind) mutes the effect bee What a lot of amp simulators . Cons by far fewer opportunities for them same edition of the amps on the ToneLab. Do not care I use almost exclusively the Bassman.

The AD since its release has the reputation of being Exclusively for hackers who want to space their guitar to sound like anything other than a scratch. With ADII, yet can be simulated "conventional" convincing. When comparing the simulation Fender Champion 600 line in a console with a real champion 600 (this is the only amp with which I can compare), it&#39;s not perfect but it is wrong in any case largely convincing enough for home recording studio.

OVERALL OPINION

I&#39;ve had a month&#39;s upgrade in NOD ADII (15 minutes for the update, the customer service from Roger Linn Design is the coolest of the plant).

The effects ... I had a boss GT, zooming past (like the 3030), a ToneLab full of pedals, etc.. So I think I can compare. I found everything I liked in all these boxes, including hacking, plus an outstanding sound quality. I feel, I know that was going to make people laugh, having bought a Zoom 3030, Boss GT6 lined with sound quality with a Tonelab rcent.

The ratio quality / price is a little of that has hurt: the ADII is really very expensive almost 400. But it has unique features and very advantageously replaces several multi-effects. So do like me, buy it secondhand, and became really good value.

I will tell you if I will ever this election in a few months.

+ The amount of effects available
amount of unique effects, it is really the only offer
= small size fits in your pocket
a true all in one
power supply
Sound quality
silence and efficiency of noise gate

The - the price
small size = better with small fingers
does not work on batteries, too bad
did you really need everything that this pedal offers?

Edit of 30/07/2010: I miss important function for me on the ADII that I enjoy and as always I always find the simulations as convincing:
- No reverse delay
- Rglages little reverb on that is finally too "simplistic" to me even if it sounds good
- Completely chaining effects not changed (see above)

Deeply an AD with a looper intgr IV!
