I was hesitant to spend so much on a reverb stomp box but I couldn't deny the phenomenal sounds that I heard emitted from this pedal anytime I'd heard it. Enough was enough so I bought one myself and have never regretted it since.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pedal and all the options I have with creating/editing new patches via the Mac app, iPad app and iPhone app though I'd think twice about purchasing this pedal if you don't have some sound design experience. Without it you might be stuck playing with just the presets.
This guitar is the SH!T......I could on for days about this guitar but I'll paraphrase with that statement.
I don't even perform live but I'm well aware of it's capabilities for live performance. I just use it in the studio setting where it's easily the most impressive DAW I've ever used for manipulating audio. That's not to say it's MIDI capabilities are limited because they're not at all. I run more MIDI tracks than I do audio in 100% of my song, but the things you can do with audio in Ableton are just mind boggling and next level.
I preferred the look & feel of Logic 9 so X's release was a huge disappointment. I used to use Logic 9 & Ableton equally. Logic X's release day was the day I began using Ableton 75% of the time.
Other than get a good amount of onboard memory if you're recording!
I don't even perform live but I can't imagine why anyone performing synth live wouldn't own one of these. They pack so much punch in such a small, portable and reasonably priced box.
I rarely use it anymore but I can't bring myself to get rid of it. It served me so well for so many years. Sometimes I run sounds through it just to get the "MPC sound" then track them in. Haven't actually sequenced on it in at least 4 years though :(
My room was JUST to small to handle 8's and though I own a pair of KRK VXT 8's and am therefore used to the KRK sound I didn't want to go as small as 6's. After extensive listening to different monitors these won out.....AND the price was right! GREAT bang for your buck! I'm about to get a set of HS5's too!
Of course if you're willing to spend more you can do better with some Focal Twins, Barefoots, etc, etc, but if you're under a budget and need a set of monitors that deliver the entire frequency range then these are for you, like they are for me. That said they don't do well in small rooms (like ANY 8" or bigger woofers....when will people realize that SMH) but if you have a decent size room then they're great.
Well, tone wise at least LOL. I can't play like EVH nor will I ever be able to. I'm not dedicated enough to practice the 10 hours a day it would require to achieve that, and even then it would still take me 30 years HAHAHA! This pedal is the SH!T though!
Coming from a production & engineering background I have a love hate relationship with compression. I despise the overly compressed sound of too much popular music nowadays, but at the same time I want my guitar playing to sound like it does when I record & mix it. That requires compression so my dynamic range isn't off the map. This unit allows me to dial in JUST the right amount and it has such a small footprint on my pedalboard. GREAT pedal!
I prefer the Whammy 5 and look forward to the day when I can swap my 4 out for a 5. Anyone want to trade? :)
