Didn't we talk about this retarded piece of equipment in another thread last week?

I remember when signature gear was from/for artists who were known for their music not their demos of music store guitars.
guess I missed that discussion. not surprised tho'
 
well it's all analog, hand made by a small pedal company based in Greece.

I think I'd try a boss ME-90 for $349.99 first; if I thought I needed a mfx.


boss me-90 guitar multi-effects pedal 1


I thought that way about the ISP Theta Pro DSP Michael Sweet for its price new ($1600?) vs digital modelers...until I got one used less than half price of new.... it's basically a preamp with effects in a pedal, two EQs, and it's '80s hair metal in a box!

I just don't care for all in one units cause usually they will have a few decent tones and a bunch that aren't. Pretty much felt that way since my neighbor screwed up the tone of his Mockingbird into Mesa Mk 1 from the special order days with an ART SGX2000.
 
I could kind of understand the appeal of this thing if one owned no pedals at all and just wanted an all-in-one solution

It's too expensive though - I get that it's handmade but maybe they should rethink handmaking them to get the price down


Damn thing costs more than my Sound City head did :oops:

Who goes from owning no pedals to investing over 2k into an all in one unit though? Nobody? I'm guessing they will sell far less than 100 units. This will mostly be bought by "guitarists" , note the quotes, with more money than brains or by people who are fanbois of the mighty Koch. :LOL:
 
Def want some JAM pedals (Harmonious Monk and Retrovibe) but would never consider something like this.

I had JAM Pedals make me a similar unit a few years ago. The fixed order is OK since I chose the order to put the effects in.
The problem I had was there was not much in the way of distortion pedals that they offered. Their Tube Screamer, Rat (which I hate) and a fuzz.
I had a Tube screamer and fuzz in mine, plus other effects.
The whole thing was painted like Jimi's Monterey Strat. You can see it in the video.

That said, this is a superior unit. Better choice of pedals in there. Mine was around 2K as well. If I had an amp I ran clean, I'd consider this, but this unit in front of distorted amp doesn't make it for me.

 
I was interested until I got involved with the famboys in the comments section. Fucking idiots for real though, making up shit and trying to confuse musicians and sicker them into buying this piece of shit.

People always try to make excuses, when the pedal builders don't chime in their selves, that makes me a bit leery in buying their products.

There's a few issues I have with this pedal, one is that the board inside is one continual hardwired board - meaning that if one piece stops working, it's done. There's no isolating the route and this is an issue because we are 2024 and this wouldn't be any more expensive to do this safer way, it's just laziness


Another issue I explained in the video's comments section is the Wah pedal looking like it could snap up, regardless of being welded to the rest of the board. If it looks breaking, it most likely is. Of course when I mentioned this, I got ripped to shreds by the fanboys (employee's fake accounts) lol

Lastly is, why on earth doesn't it have some kind of Analog Amp Sim to DI XLR output???? I mentioned this and someone said "There's no digital parts!"so I said "Sansamps and Flyrigs have analog Amp Sims, it's not hard for them to include or develop. They tried to tell me it was pointless.

To me, this thing looks cool, UGLY for sure but unique nonetheless. Almost added it to my roster but the community/fanbase seemed to drive my interest off the cliff as well as others'.

Damn shame too. Yeah, they build great stuff, we all know that BUT I brought some valid questions and instead of the builders chiming in, they just let the trolls do their thing. Why am I not surprised. I feel like if it was anyone else (Wampler, JHS, etc.) They would have just stepped in and answered everything directly.

For real? :o
No .............. big multiple style pedals like that are basically designed to be fly rigs .... whether it's digital or not IMO

they make one for the big guy ......... and they'll sell probably enough to cover the cost of his free endorsed one ... and maybe make a little bit of coin .....

I think it looks cool as hell ........... but not my thing ......
 
If I bought something like this, I'd honestly want something more compact. If I remember correctly, the Kotzen flyrig is similar but without the wah. It's way more compact and has an amp/cab sim onboard. It's basically the size of two smart phones or two TV remotes. It's compact and it's probably more sturdy than this Jam pedal.
 
You trying to troll everyone lol
Not really, I just hate overpriced fanboy guitar crap marketed with the name of a guy who has never made any interesting music on it. And I hate multi fx. If it has a menu on it it better say "Waffle House" on the front. I guess this might trigger some but it's not like I said 99 percent of all solos are crap or something. :LOL:
