Amp And Cabinet Pedal

Used once for powering guitar amp, powered monitor, pedal board, and bass amp on stage. Performed well and kept the hums at bay. Long cord legnth and good plug access.

Use item to connect guitar amp pedal controller. Good length to free up on stage movement.

I purchased the Xvive wireless guitar system based on a number of positive YouTube reviews. I figured for the price that it would be worth it if I could get it to work. I first tried it by inserting the transmitter into my PRS and the received into my Mesa Boogie amp directly. Worked perfectly. I didn't mess around with selecting a channel so I suppose it just worked with the default selection. I next plugged the receiver into an overdrive pedal and the pedal was plugged in with a cable to the amp. Again it worked like a charm and there was no noticeable difference compared to using the pedal and amp with a cable. Later on I did play around with selecting a different channel on the transmitter. It takes a little getting used to, but the device beeps the 1-4 times depending on what channel it's on. You have to set the receiver to the same channel to get the system to work. There is no light to tell you that the two are on the same channel so you just have to keep pressing the channel button to get them to sync. Anyway, if you don't have a second guitar using the same wireless system it's best just to leave it in channel 1 and leave it alone. It will work well. While playing I moved around the house and it definitely has great range. It was fun moving into different parts of the house without worrying about getting tangled up in a long guitar cable.

My problem as a guitarist is how to carry less gear (no amp) and produce a sound that will still have that super clean sonic characteristic similar to my mesa, replate, or two-rock, amps. I use a TC Electronic Nova System for all my pedal needs (it is a monster plus Pete Thorn uses it). The Nova can go directly into the ToneMatch as long as I dial in a ToneMatch sound simulation built into the tonematch. (there are some great varieties to color the sonic possibilities (such as: Miked Amp w SM-57)). The tone was gig-worthy but a bit sterile. (no tubes in the chain) The final component, an Effectrode Blackbird pre-amp pedal with a 600 ohm direct out (dead silent). The Blackbird provided the missing piece. With a 3 tube preamp design in a medium-small pedal, it's provides an astounding tube warmth. Guitar-Nova System-Effectrode Blackbird-Bose ToneMatch-L1 Model II with B2. Plus much easier to pack to gigs. My band switched from a pro-grade JBL SRX PA with QSC amps to two (2) L1 Model 2 with B2 bass sub units.

I use this mainly for practice with headphones. It also works and sounds great through a PA. I was pleased to see I can also use it through my guitar amp. The amp and cabinet simulations all sound great. So I’m hoping this will add different character to my amp when needed for certain songs. It’s a great addition to any rig!

This mic sounds great - I've used it on various amp cabinets (specifically Hammond Tone Cabinet and bass) and it sounds fantastic. Can handle whatever SPL you can throw at it, even sounded surprisingly sweet on close-up dialogue. Very rugged and solid, quality feel and $ performance.

Excellent price on an excellent product. The second mini cabinet takes it out from the standard plastic portable amp category into an easy to carry practice amp with some presence. Good range of sounds for an amp of this size. This one is a different breed from the clock radio sound many other practice amps suffer from. This is now my official vacationing practice bass amp of choice.

Purchased (2) of these and will add a third since I'm adding another amp to my system. These keep my amp and AVR cool inside my cabinet with doors that have openings in the rear for the exhaust. I set both of my T8's at 89F and it does an excellent job. The fan noise is slightly noticeable if my cabinet doors are open in variable mode but can hear the fans pretty well if the fans are running full, which rarely happens so far. This is an inexpensive investment for those who have amps & AVR's that typically run warm.

Great pedal.
