chavilbus « Good material for home studio »
Published on 05/07/13 at 05:38Everything is said in the features, all the effects are editable, I can program only through the PC interface. I've never launched in the direct programming of the device that requires some practice given the many key functions.
on the other hand to adjust the amp knob is super accurate and intuitive like a real amp (flight, drive eq ...)
The desktop size is very convenient, I have the FBV that the driver is perfect. Only downside is that I rather regret the HD 500: there is no line input and there is only one microphone input, so that you can not really use it as a sound card. The mic is not terrible for my taste compared to the pod studio UX2 I had before, I can not have such a clear acoustic sound.
For it is quite uneven effects from very good to unusable
UTILIZATION
The configuration windows 7 is done very easily. There is no latency (I have an i7 with 8 GB of RAM), the editor works fine with RiffWorks + reason in rewire.
The manual is almost useless if you use the editor (just turn the knobs with the mouse), especially as I had the pod farm before, it is not out of place. I'm a little disappointed by the publisher that does nothing compared to the UX2 and even back on some points. Another downside, it does not really bypass when all effects are removed.
SOUND QUALITY
The effects are realistic, there is something for everyone. Very good as the tube screamer or distos to more gadget.
Automatic harmonizer is nice (an example with emul Soldano http://www.riffworld.com/Members/chavilbus/newyear2013ballad)
There is less than the amp pos farm but they are all usable.
The fenders flapping well with a TV: http://www.riffworld.com/Members/chavilbus/myamericandream
Saturations are very good I think with a Les Paul for example http://www.riffworld.com/Members/chavilbus/countryhome with JTM75 and a tube screamer, much richer than the pod farm.
The clean sounds (AC15 and fender) with a strat for hapèges and sheraton for lead: http://www.riffworld.com/Members/chavilbus/latinoafricancoffeebean
Finally (and I stop
the dobro sound taken with a beta 57 http://www.riffworld.com/Members/chavilbus/southernjunkyjam
The voice of my last posts (those of 2013) are recorded with a beta 58, reverb and compressor pod hd
OVERALL OPINION
Parr compared to the previous generation was better on a sound amplifiers, the solid construction (metal very solid, the knob are really pros)
As against the price difference is huge, although the complete connectivity could include input lines and the publisher does nothing more (the backup exmple and management of the bank outside appreil is less intuitive, we can not sort by type of amp or date
Otherwise to register the house with almost unlimited is really a good choice in my opinion possibilities (see with pedals that are also very good when one is considering the scene.
