      I agree. The naming is sketchy, but I always use the terminology that’s used by the manufacturer, but make sure to explain the full features and limitations in my videos. But I do doubt I could go to Lowe’s and buy 256wh in batteries, a 300w inverter, a charging circuit, some DC charging ports, a small transformer, etc for a little over $100. It would be close, but it would be ugly, lol!

That's a pitifully underpowered charging capacity. You could connect a 100 Watt solar panel but the best you will get is 40 Watts out of that panel. I figure about 6.5-7 hours at the full rate of 40 Watts for a 100% recharge.

    He already corrected himself saying it does not charge via usb-C. FYI you are incorrectly using the term "pass through charging" this refers to its UPS capability. Outputting from usb-c is not pass through charging, because it does not run directly from the ac power. Pass through means that the power station will power ac devices through its ac ports directly from the ac input without running the inverter. Another major downgrade from the river 2 is they decreased the warranty from 5 years to 2 years on river 3.

    Reverb is not gimmicky and the EQ is not gimmicky, but the goofy cookie cutter sound effects can be gimmicky ! Equalization is a broadcast and recording process used for matching individual Frequency Response which is needed for adding or attenuating resonates of an individual's voice etc, and for EQing different types of microphone FQ response. Reverb is nice when you learn how and when to apply it. The left right slider on this unit is the length of reverb decay time, and left slider is for the level of saturation of the reverb. Don't be afraid of EQ & Reverb , this little device is really nice for 30 bucks and is made well. The only thing it needs is control over the noise gate that is defaulted to the microphone input. Really soft passages of sound get cut off. The noise gate needs an ON/OFF toggle, OR 4 toggle settings, LO, MID, HI, OFF. Like the Maonocaster AME2.

    I need to confirm the gallium nitride feature works before pulling the trigger. If you can confirm for me/us - super duper.

      I was just trying to explain to people my thought process in case someone else wants to try something similar. A lot of my channel helps educate people on these older products. If you don’t care about that part, feel free to use the little time bar thingy and fast forward to where you see the screen turned on. But thanks for enduring my rambling, and thanks for the engagement!
