You're very welcome! Thanks for the nice comment

Yes, you're right. All functions, i.e., loadbox, attenuator, and cabinet simulation can be used completely independent

That's a tricky one, but indeed the amps never react the same with a cabinet vs. load box. This is also true for different cabinets and also for different load boxes, because each one has a different impedance curve and they'll work differently with the amp's power section. Another important factor is to find a good cabinet simulation pairing for the amp (as you would need to find a suitable speaker cabinet pairing). I hope that helps

Thanks for the comment. I personally don't. It's a small board and I'm not running extra long cables (I play mostly small stages 😅 and I usually don't use the amp's effects loop). In these cases, I can't usually tell the difference between a buffer or not. In some cases, I even find the buffer worse, i.e., my PRS SE Custom 24 has slightly hot humbuckers and I've found the sound with buffer to be a bit harsh and unpleasantly distorted in the top end if I have a buffered pedal first in chain (I prefer the true bypass). If you have a buffer, then you can try it and see whether it makes a difference. If you're wondering whether to invest in a buffer pedal for this size of board, then I would personally invest in some other type of pedal. I think TC Electronic has a Polytune version with integrated buffer circuit, so that might be a good start as you get a buffer and tuner in one pedal and can deactivate the buffer if you dislike it

@@TheBedroomRocker1 Great idea, thx! I also saw that Boss tuner has a built in buffer

Glad you enjoyed it! Keep on rocking 🤟🏼

Thanks for the comment! I don't have experience with those. You could probably get in the same ball park by using the drives in front of the bass amp as I've done on this video. However the SansAmp and Darkglass are both analog preamp pedals with more gain than the digital preamp simulation in the MG-400. Therefore I think the playing feel could still be quite different even though the sound could get somewhat similar

Thanks for the comment! Yes, it does sound pretty good to me as well 😊 but you're right, it doesn't have stereo in nor out

Thanks for the comment, but I am not sure I understand the question?

@@TheBedroomRocker1 you know the DI option? doesn't it essentially just add a separate signal that goes straight to the amp?

@@raheemthesecond I am not using any DI signal in this video. The DI option bypasses all amp/effects/cabinets/EQ/ etc. and that's not the intention. In the video I show two different recording techniques: 1) The first is the wet-dry rig/technique. This means that you split the signal in two and feed each one into a different amp. The wet amp contains all of the modulation, reverb, and delays while the dry amp does not. 2) The second technique is double tracking. For double-tracking you usually record the same guitar part twice optionally using different amps/settings/speakers/microphones. The small differences in your playing and settings helps to make the sound more interesting. Instead of recording the guitar twice, you could also just split the signal and feed them into two different amps/settings/speakers/microphones, but you would lose the difference in the playing which is quite important. Please let me know if that makes it clearer. I hope it helps. Cheers!

@@TheBedroomRocker1 I understand what your saying but the DI option right before the pedal chain does that exact thing. I you press it it adds a blue line that creates that dry signal so what I am saying is you could have one amp line then press the DI button which will add another dry (going straight to the amp with no FX) signal which is exactly what you were doing except its built in. Do you get what I am saying?

@@raheemthesecond I just checked it but the DI option bypasses the entire signal chain, including effects, amps and cabinets, so it does not work for having two amps in parallel, which is what I did. It stands for Direct Injection, meaning it injects your guitar signal directly into the mixing desk, which is the last block in Amplitube. To use two amps in parallel, you should use the signal splitter, which is also a built in block from Amplitube. You can place effects before or after the split.

Awesome deal! Hope you enjoy it

Thanks a lot for the comment! Glad it was helpful

Hey you can use tap tempo with any of the toneprints. You need to activate it using the toneprint app and beam it to the pedal. Then you press and hold the footswitch until it's green to the tap tempo mode

Thanks a lot for the comment. Sure, I've just routed Guitar (Fender Baja Telecaster) -> Overdrive (Fulltone OCD) -> Plethora x5 -> Amp (Victory V40)

Hey thanks for the comment! Yes, the EP usually gets lots of love. I will see if I can get my hands on one for the next shootout

Hey thanks a lot for the comment! I don't usually play worship, but I guess a nice drive sound with loads of delay and reverb should do a nice lead tone in general.

@@TheBedroomRocker1 could you Please do more the videos of NUX MG-400 for the next video ? Thank you !

@@TheBedroomRocker1 do you have any preset for free! so, that I import it in mine?

Hey sure, I have a video of the MG-400 with bass coming up and I can make more. Any particular feature that you're interested or more into the pre-set creation? I'll also try to figure out how to export and share my pre-sets

@@TheBedroomRocker1 thank you 🙏🏻 appreciate your work. God bless you brother!

Thanks a lot for the super nice comment 👍🏼

Glad you like it! Thanks a lot for the nice comment

Nice 👍🏼 I really want to visit Nashville someday. People say there are many awesome musicians and specially a lot of nice guitar players on every corner

Thanks for sharing! Great to hear some other people are also still using these successfully after such a long time 👍🏼

The MG-30 has a more rugged metal body, so if you're gigging frequently and wants durability then the MG-30 is the way to go. Otherwise the MG-400 is newer and more affordable.

Thanks a lot for the nice comment and sub! You are absolutely right about connecting the Vox to the Captor for silent recording using the "External SP" connection. For the attenuation function, you can use an amp-speaker cable like this one: www.tubeampdoctor.com/en/tad-amp-speaker-cable-0.6m-with-right-angle-phon Here are the steps: 1) Disconnect the terminals of the factory speaker cable on the Vox 2) Connect the new speaker cable terminals to speakers and the male jack to the Captor X "Speaker Out" 3) Set the Vox to "External SP" and connect the "External SP" to the Captor X "Speaker In" 4) If you have a Captor X 16 Ohm, set the Vox's output impedance to 16 Ohm 5) If you have a Captor X 8 Ohm, set Vox's output impedance to 16 Ohm when using 0 or -20dB attenuation and to 8 Ohm when using -38dB or full attenuation (silent recording). 6) If you don't want to use Captor X anymore, you can either restore the original connection OR simply plug the new speaker cable male jack to the "External SP" output of the Vox setting to 16 Ohm. Do you have the Origin 50 head or combo? The head has many output options, so I'd get the Captor X 16Ohm so that's fully compatible with the Vox. I hope that helps. It's a bit confusing in the beginning, but it's basically bypassing the internal speaker connection and connecting to the same speaker via the "External SP" so that you can place the attenuator in between. Let me know if you have any more questions and best luck cranking those tube amps at home!

@@TheBedroomRocker1 Hello, thank you so much! I have the Origin 50 combo, but it has either 16 and 2 8ohms outputs. But if you recommend it, i'll get the 16 ohms version. I do not plan to buy or change my amps any time soon, but you never konw... I've allways dreamed about ownin a Plexi ahah... Right now i think i'll stick to the silen recording feature and the connections through the headphones to practice. Thank you so much!

Yes, thanks for the comment. I think they're somewhat out of phase, which creates this effect. I should have been more careful when mixing the signals.

Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts

Thanks a lot 👍🏼

Many thanks for the comment 🙏

Thanks for the comment! Cheers

Hi, please note that the counterparts, even though coming as individual stomp box units, are not really analog circuits but digital models. The models are the same as in the Plethora. I only have the Flashback 2 Mini as a standalone pedal. The Plethora sounds pretty good and close enough to the flashback sound in my head that I've never felt the need for a back-to-back comparison. I feel the differences would be marginal, if any. I hope that helps and just let me know if you have any more questions! Cheers

@@TheBedroomRocker1 exactly the answer I was looking for, thank you!

Indeed it's a fair comparison. Amazing quality guitars. Thanks for the comment!

Ciao, thanks for the comment. It's of course the same guitar and the same player but there's still a substantial difference between the 3 pedals. Maybe try listening with a good set headphones or studio monitors.

Thanks for the tip! That's indeed a good idea. I'll keep it in mind for future reviews

Shijie only uses top quality woods, it really is dark roasted (I have 8 Shijies). They only made of few of these dark roasted necks

Thanks a lot for the comment!
