Boss RC1 Looper verse Boss Street Cube 2 Looper
มุมมอง 1.1Kปีที่แล้ว
Reasons why i use the Boss RC1 over the in built looper on the Boss Street Cube 2. I prefer the RC1 as it is easier to use and as you need a foot pedal with the onboard looper of the Boss Street cube 2, i would rather use the RC1. #boss #accousticguitar #BossRC1

I wrote this song after reading a sorry tale of a young women who was driven to the age. I guess when you get to my ripe old age you don't understand this world anymore, how in a civilised society can we be driving people to this sort of desperation.

Logjam Stomp Box Test - Using Yamaha NCX 1 and Boss Street Cube 2
มุมมอง 587ปีที่แล้ว
Bought the Logjam micro stomp box, and this is the first test drive of it. The unit requires no batteries and plugs into an amp via a standard jack connector. Connected it to the Boss Street Cube 2 into the instrument port, turned the Bass all the way up, added a little bit of treble and no highs. If you have a bass amp it would sound even better. However it works really well through the Street...

    @VajrahahaShunyata 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think it sounds robotic. The machine not u. The ve-8 or tc helicon play acoustic has the most human sounding harmonies of the multitude I have tried. The ve-8 uses batteries so its better for busking, it also has a looper. I would call this a doubler as it only offers a single voice on top of yours. Use fake harmonies sparingly and less is more with the levels or you end up sounding like A cylon from the 80's tv program battle star Galactica. Nice demo though, thanks. I have been performing and busking for 43 years now. I have an older street cube ex and it has never given me any problems. If the harmonies were better I would consider buying this to carry less and have less cables as I have the ve-8 for way better harmonies and an ok looper. By the time you add both control foot pedals though to use the function I would be adding a cable and a box. The ve-8 does it in one box. Has great guitar effects and more harmonies along with voice mods to add distortion to the voive . I can mimic that 70's lofi sound.

    Buy a guitar for your purpose and skill level. Some guitars are better suited for being plugged in, some unplugged. When you are a novice theres great disadvantages from buying a crap instrument, it will cause you more pain and make learning even more frustrating than it has to be. When you are skilled you buy what sounds the best as you can afford for the application you primarily need a guitar for.

    Hi Jack, thanks for the demo. I already have a Digitech Live 3 Harmoniser which tracks ('listens') to your guitar and generates a harmony depending on the guitar notes. It actually works quite well and it does not require 'programming'. I am looking at getting a Street 2 so Googled "Goes the street 2 harmoniser 'listen' to the guitar and generates harmony's?'. Apparently it does! I need to dig deeper! Thanks again!

    Hi you sound like you’re from Lancashire like me, although I live in Spain. Am almost pulling the trigger on this just for a bit of busking with my mate, is it loud enough do you think, for a busy city street? And how annoying is it that they put the whole control panel “upside down “, do you have to keep getting up and going in front of it to change a setting? A minor issue but don’t know how much it would bug me, I can’t imagine why they do it

    I enjoyed your review. I played an NCX-1C in a guitar store yesterday. I loved the tone, the setup on the guitar (action was decently low), but there's something about it, which I can't quite put my finger on that doesn't seem as comfortable as some other classicals I've played. I'm not sure if it's because it's a cutaway that it doesn't sit quite as well in my lap, or the angle of the neck, or the body maybe being a bit thin. I had the feeling while I was in the store that I wasn't seeing the fingerboard as well as some guitars. I picked up my Yamaha C40 this morning and I can't say I notice much of a difference, although I think it does sit a bit more comfortably in the lap. Not sure if you'd have any insights into the body being thinner, or the angle of the neck, or the cutaway vs. non-cutaway, or the visibility of the fingerboard.

    • @jackfagan
      @jackfagan 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It’s definitely the feel of the cutaway compared to a traditional construction. I have an NTX 1 which is much slimmer but prefer the N C X 1. I find it a joy to play however you do need to get used to the cutaway. 👍
