In this episode we take a(nother) look at the Source Audio Nemesis Delay and the Boss DD-500. They’re both incredibly capable, modern, multi-feature delay units that offer you an almost infinite amount of sonic and creative potential.
The issue with so much capability, however, is that that it can take a while to get to grips with finding it all, as we found out when we first looked at them. We went away, studied manuals and came back slightly better equipped to scratch the surface of what’s possible. Join us if you dare (and can stay awake) as we engage with a little option paralysis and the interesting discussion that ensues. Do you need one? Maybe…

The Boss DD-500 might secretly be the best delay pedal on the market, especially at the price. Since getting it, I’ve retired all of my Strymon delays. I find it sounds better, and it’s easier to use.
And in the used market, I've seen them for about 200 USD. So a lot more sensibly priced than the Strymon camps.
A welcome return to the Nemesis. Thanks! I love this pedal. It is simple enough to get great useable sounds right out of the gate and deep enough to keep things interesting. Add in the Neuro Hub and scenes and it is just what I want in a pedal. The Source Audio folks are doing some great things.
The best thing about the sub-division settings is when you have MIDI plugged in from a synth sequence and you get BPM delays.
Thanks for taking the time to learn and dig deeper with these units. As you can see, sometimes taking the time to really dig in and get your hands dirty can reveal wonderful results. Keep rockin it you guys, I love it.
Most of the time this channel gives me GAS. Today it gave me option paralysis. Thanks for doing the homework for me, guys!
This makes me glad I've kept my TC Electronic Repeater. Lot's of functionality but no hidden features.
+The Hard Problem Indeed! I keep thinking about the DD-500 (Mick here) and all the things I could do with it... maybe our time isn't up just yet!
Hey guys well done. Many kudos for an excellent demo and the classy way you handled this whole "redo". This one definitely lives up to the higher standard your fans have come to expect from you guys. Cheers and Happy New Year!
I own a LOT of delay pedals and the dd500 is my favorite. Easy to make good and usable sounds. Don't have to dive deep if you don't want to.
At the price, it’s probably the best delay on the market.
Same here...as far as gigging sound goes, it’s top of the heap, imo. It’s that perfect combination of sonic quality and “mix cutting”
The comments on these always make me laugh. You've got all the people complaining that things are too complicated and that the sounds aren't usable. And then you've got the people who heard one note of one of the super tweaked out modulated delays and went "I know exactly how I can use that."
+Matt Snyder It's all good Matt! Our challenge is trying to stay relevant to as many people as we can, without getting so bored that we want to give up altogether. I see a future (Mick here) where we do more stuff that genuinely interests and inspires us, and less stuff that's there because it's 'popular'. Meantime, we live and learn!
That Pedal Show I think y'all do a really good job of trying to balance it. I'm just sometimes amazed by the variety of opinions in the guitar world.
That Pedal Show Mick and Dan, i would like to thank you guys for every single second of these educative videos. Your show has taught so much to so many of us.
For the new year, i wish to you, good health, and to see your show getting bigger and better than you would ever hope. Cause i believe you deserve it, with all the info you give us. May you always have fun doing what you do.
Now, if i may, a few requests😀.
Can you cover, if you haven't yet, the following matters:
1)Attenuators in use with amps that are too loud for bedroom practice, and how, if at all they change our amps and pedals sound.
2) Equipment suitable for protection of our amps and pedals, from power surge spikes and other currrent problems. E.g.: maybe U.P.S. equipment and such...
3) Signature pedals, and what extra they offer, e.g.: The Jerry Cantrell Wah pedal, or the Joe Bonamassa Fuzz Face pedal.
4) Weird, unusual and/or funny pedals.
5) Maybe some more guests/ friends?
The best to you for 2017, guys. Cheers.
+1 on the attenuators
You guys thank you so much for the deep dive! I have a DD500 and you taught me how to do things I didn't even know it could do. I was worried when I chose it instead of the strymon but it looks like the boss is a better value given that it's way cheaper.
Thanks for revisiting theses pedals guys. Love the nemesis
Fantastic video. Great idea to get an in depth view after each person has spent some time with the pedal. Really makes for informative and considered viewing. Cheers
I don't understand how every guitar player in the world is not subscribed to you guys.
Sorta like social media. Sometimes, it can lead to bad things and you should stay away. I know that this show has been responsible for influencing my spending habits in a negative way. But I love it.
Just brilliant :) and that diminished progression around 9:22 killed it totally!
great video... as always... loved the way each of you went away each learned to use a pedal then compared and contrasted then. more like this please. also great to see the V40 being used.
Nemesis owner well over a year. I don't really mess with the app for deep editing. My tip:. Use app to audition the engines you like, then "Burn" to engine slot (this was not demonstrated in video). Then you'll be fine with the controls on the pedal w/o app. Ex: swap out Degrade for Oil Can. If I like engine layout then I can get around by saving Preset 8 as Binson tape to avoid burning over more. I keep it simple & the community support is immense at TGP forum.
+truce11 Great tip, thank you!
Cheers man!
So I can replace ,say, tape engine ,with another engine I like from the app, or save the other one as a preset?
Not boring at all for the DD-500....very helpful running through what the pedal can do
Pedals as complex as these absolutely need to have easy access to user preset sounds in a live situation. The DD500 looks amazing.....offering multi tap delays via the 2 preset at once feature........Shadows heaven.
Thanks for the review, and doing more homework this time....best wishes for the New Year.
That wrist slap at the beginning. 😂😂😂 Love this channel.
just so you know I watch for the talking so no need to apologise mick. it really helps me to understand how to use pedals I already have and clarifies what I could add. if I wanted to hear sound samples I would look elsewhere. seeing you trawl through manuals shows how much effort and payback there is (I love a good manual) thanks for all the hard work and happy new year to you both.
+Timothy Ritchie Thank you Timothy, that is very much appreciated!
BTW - one of the best youtube channels - period!
Great vid. Stellar response to some fairly harsh criticisms! Great job fellows, loved the humble pie gags and etc
7thString agreed. Well handled. You guys stay classy 👏🏼
Yep
Mick: "You totally practiced that." That cracked me up.
more catalinbread! love their delays and reverbs. great mix of tweakability without menus and hidden modes. Adineko and talisman are my favorites.
Awesome that you followed up with this after the first episode. Whoop.
I would propably never buy one of them but you guys do an excellent job. Thank you so much gor making the videos. I look forward to them every week. Keep up the good work and have a great new year. Love the TPS T-shirt I bought last month
wow what an episode. these pedals are unbelievably inspiring. Great job guys its tough to showcase those in that limited of time but nice work once again!!!
+killz1985 cheers K :)
Watching you guys say nice things begrudgingly, knowing you guys would never use these types of pedals, is kind of fun.
I get it. There is something to be said for immediacy. For my home studio though, there is something to be said for having every reverb under the Sun at my disposal.
I would like an Earthquaker Devices episode. They make some of the coolest, whacky pedals around, and they sound GREAT!
You've saved me some cash: I was about to upgrade my Boss DD20 to one of these mega delays but I don't need 99.9% of this daftness (as Mick said halfway through). Great video though lads, love the messiness of it all!
Extremely well done, as usual. Thanks guys.
When people ask "is it better to be young today, then when you were young"......I'd say today. I wish I had the time to get truly stuck into these amazing pedals.
I have missed that first episode. Haha I am curious now. Thanks Mick and Dan, you guy are fun. Cheers
Thanks guys. I've needed this. Bought a DD500 8 months ago and found it intimidating and a bit discouraging. I now have renewed enthusiasm to spend a little more time digging in.
+Jason Flaherty Yes! That's the spirit. Glad it's not just me (Mick here).
Don't worry 'bout the laboriness(?)! It's always good to see you guys meddle about with pedals. You somehow do it exactly the same way I would do it, albeit with a bit of much needed research included. Cheers!
Mick is trying so hard here it's adorable. Awesome video once again.
+Tuomas Raatikainen Adorable. I must tell my wife. I'm halfway between Homer and Yoda when it comes to trying.
Hi guys! Thanks for doing these reviews. I appreciate you looking at some of the different pedals in the market and pointing out what their differences are. As you know there are a large number of great companies and pedals and you're helping people decide what will work best for them as well as educating people (like me) on how to get the sounds they want. Thanks again!
+Bskijr you're very welcome :)
Just in time for my lunch hour, nice work guys :)
That's how it's done!!! Great stuff.
You guys should do a video on your classic tone combos that you have have worked through the years - like Dan can show some of his chordal/delay/reverb patches and stacking choices and Mick can illustrate settings for stacking drives/univibe/etc... cheers guys excellent work!
As a T Rex Replicator owner, I am sure you will understand when I say this wasn't the most riveting TPS video you have done ;-)
That dd500 sounds fantastic.
Thanks for this episode. I was looking at the Nemesis and loved the sounds but the placement of the jacks won’t work for my board. The DD-500 was ok in other gear demos I watched but after seeing how you went through the options of what it can do I went ahead a ordered the DD500. Like you said, “they all sound great, just pick one and get to playing”. Another factor is price. If the Timeline is out of your budget then there is always another pedal with similar sounds at a cheaper price.
Mick, "bit processing", to me it means "not tape" and probably "several knobs" lol. Love these videos. Every week!
Great information guys. Your show is always Amazing. I really enjoy it, and Appreciate all the work that goes into making these videos. " Inspiration Machines " - so true . . . as you Experiment with certain pieces of gear.
Hi, Michael. Yes, you can set the pedal for a global Tap Tempo across all presets - you just need to go into the Neuro Mobile App and hit the "Keep Delay Time Constant with New Preset" switch. You can change preset a few different ways - a MIDI controller can change presets, an external switch (most 1/4" TRS switchers) will do it, or (when the pedal is bypassed) you can scroll through presets with the Tap Tempo switch.
I'm glad you did this. It reflects my experience. I arse around endlessly at home with my Timeline & Big sky & pro logic. But if I'm playing with my mates, velcro is disturbed & it's a DD7 with a short analogue delay which I don't change at all. Perhaps I need 2 boards. One for the real world & one for messing about. A good excuse to buy more pedals ;-)
That's how I do it One "jam board" and one larger board with more expensive jam.
Impressed to say the least. The last delay video wasn't up to the standards we've come to expect from you guys, but your response to the criticism was beyond expectations. Thanks!
+2speedy4u22 Thank you much! As you might be aware, Dan and I started TPS essentially in our spare time. Nobody is funding it (our T Shirt sales, Patreon and small retail sponsorships are just about funding it now), and we still run our own respective businesses as our day jobs. This gives us an advantage and also a disadvantage. On the advantage side, we're not commercially obliged to anyone, which means we can do and say what the hell we like. Hooray!
On the disadvantage side, we're always running just about by the skins of our teeth... so the occasional mistake and misjudgement is inevitable. :0) We're lucky to have such a big group of people who will take us as they find us, good and not so good. We're extremely grateful for the support and feedback and we will ALWAYS try to be better.
Thanks for watching and getting involved!
you guys make my fridays complete
+caesar09 cheers Caesar ;)
I really, really enjoyed this. I didn't think the original Serious Delays Part 2 was all that bad, but this format of the show is so cool. Just a thought: Maybe every six months or so you guys could set aside an episode slot for another like this one really detailing big complex pedals that you know well, cause I really have never seen a review as helpful as this one of anything. It really uprooted my conception that the TimeLine was still the indisputable king of multifunction delays, and I was in fact the person that Mick was talking to at 48:30. Obviously you're both very busy to learn new giant pedals all the time, but I for one would very much benefit from it. You guys have really helped to restore my faith in the future of electric playing, so regardless of what happens with TPS down the road, I'm glued to my seat!
If that falls through my other suggestion is for Six Fantastic Tremolos! (Chase Bliss Gravitas requested of course, though you may also wish to check out the Spaceman Voyager I)
I will hopefully be able to donate to Patreon/buy a T-shirt in 2017 and also look forward to hearing those new songs! Happy new year guys :)
+Dante André-Kahan ah, cheers D, to be honest, both Mick and I felt the original episode was fun, but didn't do these two pedals justice. There's SO much that these two are capable of, so I think we made the right decision in taking it down and redoing it. Cheers D, happy new year :)
I watched the entire episode. I deserve a free tee shirt and a hug.
Delay is a veeeery inspiring effect for me. I'm really trying to psyche myself up to buy a timeline not just for the full utility of it, but to become inspired to play and twiddle and create and get excited about guitar again.
+guitarfreak585 We wholeheartedly agree. Doesn't really matter which one you buy either - just that you put some time into using it. Hooray!
great job guys, like always! just had to nitpick on your last "failure"! that's the way it's done, and the friday is saved again!
+Rafi Kirder It's all good Rafi, we're grateful for any and all feedback. Thanks for watching!
I had the boss and now i have the nemesis. I prefer dd-500 with display and 3 switches, because for setting the nemesis you need to use the editor, but his tone is really awesome. Same thoughts for the RV-500 and Ventris.
Great vid guys, I remember you doing this video for years ago… Holy crap I’m getting old! But I find myself looking for a multi function delay… Thought about getting a stamp or a helix but just don’t want to pay for overdrives that I won’t use… And the thought of programming one of these beasts is a little intimidating but at least it’s only working with delays. That degrade sound on the nemesis, Dan as soon as he started playing I was transported back to the 80s and I felt like I was watching Miami Vice!! Keep It up my British Bro’s We wait with bated breath for the next video
Mick asking about the Nemesis: "Are you gonna go with every single mode?" XD
Mario Cáceres we all thought it!
Great video guys! I know that you two are eventually planning a tremolo episode and I'd love to see you compare popular tremolo pedals vs amp tremolo and electro-mechanical tremolo. Reverb and delay placement with tremolo would be killer to explore, as well as playing riffs with and without syncing the tremolo to the tempo (Answers the question "do I need a tap tempo trem or not?")
+Jake Stewart Music Good shout Jake, we'll do it!
All you need to sound great is Dan and his red Tele. Makes every pedal and amp sound MMMMMMEGGA!!!
I find myself watching videos of the Nemesis since I just bought one and waiting for it to get here. Love your guys videos!
@Regular Joseph Its a great delay pedal and you can find just about any settings you need in this delay to play with. I find myself pairing it up with a BOSS DD3 so I can use the Nemesis for more tricky types of delay and able to cut back to a always on delay of the DD3. The inner settings of this pedal gives you near endless possibilities.
@Regular Joseph That's cool. Never too many pedals to have.
Love the video, guys. Thanks for revisiting this.
Dan, be sure to browse through the shared presets in the Neuro app. There are some great ones in there although the ones you made sounded excellent, too.
Mick, the DD-500 can blow your mind even further. It's kind of insane. You can make the modulation speed increase when you play harder 😳 Crazy stuff like that.
The rabbit hole goes so deep on these two.
Also Dan, the Nemesis has 16 subdivisions now.
+dickjonesify wow! Amazing, thanks D :)
Good job fellas! You've redeemed yourself ;)
I feel this, so hard. I'm learning about analog synths now-Moog has a Model 15 app that's a bottomless pit of tinkering and experimentation-and I get that "Oh no I have to read the manual" feeling a lot. Frustrating to not just get great sounds right away, but I've turned a corner and learned quite a bit.
Hey guys. Could you please do a video of the TC Electronic Flashback Triple Delay vs a combination of Strymon's Timeline AND Big Sky pedals to create Ambient sounds/music?? That'd be Awesome!
As an avid video game player as well as a guitar player, that bit at 9:38 made me laugh
well done ;)
also 21:04 made me so so so so happy to hear you guys say that
I'm not sure I like the separate cell phone interface. I just want it right there in front of me. Turn the knob, flick the switch, cool organic, earthy tones and effects. I think most people are biased against Boss because the brand is EVERYWHERE and often the sounds their pedals make are also either way too familiar or cheesy sounding.
"Uhhh, I don't know. Does it mean anything to anybody? I don't know. I don't know. Its.... its to do with... Whatever."
Put that on a T shirt.
I love this show.
+Mike B That Pedal Show: Against Technical Correctness Since 2015
that's 56 bits of comedy processing power right there.
Hi Dan, Mick.
Huge fan of your show. Please do a show on Autowahs.
Boss AW 2/3, QTron, Mad Professor Snow White etc.
Regards from India :)
Also, the subdivisions can be accessed with two button presses, up twice and then by twisting the value knob it scrolls through them immediately on the front page.
I love the shifter delay on the Nemesis
i wasn't exactly clear on the phone 'app' for the Nemesis Delay...Was the app giving you additional parameters and presets that were not included 'onboard' the unit? or was it just acting as a remote? extremely cool either way!
Wise words from Mick at the end there - pick one and get to know it.
For me that was Eventide - the app interface makes it easier (for me anyway) to experiment and see where you are.
Great vid - and thanks for persevering Mick :-)
+Tim O'Donnell Cheers Tim. It just became so obvious the more I dug into it. They can all sound awesome, no question, proving once again - sigh - that if there's a problem, it's rarely the gear at fault these days...
For me what really sets the DD-500 apart (aside from its epically terrible manual) is the 8 assign functions that can be changed using the Tap/Ctrl switch. This lets you change up to 8 different parameters with the touch of a switch. Additionally, you can use the Wave pedal assign to assign an LFO to change those parameters at any rate you chose (similar to the way Chase Bliss pedals do) These are incredibly powerful tools that make the depth of the pedal near endless.
Haha, this gave me the final nudge to order the souped up delay pedal of my choosing. My Nemesis arrived today and I'm chuffed to 56 (= 7x 8) bits!;)
+Tubelistic Excellent - enjoy!
A huge effort especially at this time of year. Bought a El Capistan on the strength of an earlier vid. Really enjoying getting to know it.
A B show with Source Audio Nemesis and Pigtronix Echolution UltraPro? That would be nice!!!
Thank you Dan and Mick for saving my hair and beard from being pulled out deciding on these multi-function delays.
+That Pedal Show.
Hi Dan and Mick.
Can you do a shootout between amps. I've just got a Vox Ac15 and I wanna know how a Fender Bassbreaker 15 or Blues Junior compares.
AFAIK they have the same tubes; 12AX7 and EL84.
Thank you so much for this video. I am wanting a "Mega" Delay and can't swing the Strymon. I was wondering if the Boss or Nemesis would be good alternatives. This video truly proves that I can be happy otherwise. Thanks.
Nice summation. I bought the Nemesis and have been using the Catlinbread Belle Epoch on my board instead because it doesn't hurt my head. Going to play with the Nemesis today, though, to get more comfy with it. As always, thanks for the great content.
Bruce Johnson something I've learned over the years, when you're dealing with really full-featured pedals, don't feel like you need to use all the features and modes. That's where most people go wrong. They're bending over backwards trying to find a way to use the crazy helix delay in their blues gig. Don't even try. Find 3-5 (or whatever) sounds you like and can use, tweak them until you love them, and use them. The other modes aren't going to have their feelings hurt if you don't like them.
Agreed. I got it more for some nutty studio sounds, but I still have to sit with it for a bit. I didn't make my original statement as any slight except perhaps toward my time management. Peace.
+Bruce Johnson Yeah, agreed too. Time management, inspiration to play. Those are the things that matter, however you arrive there! Thanks for watching.
Absolutely correct. find a few you like and need. Save them in a patch, and the rest are always there if you need them.
it's time for you guys to talk through pitch shifters. plus Dan would laugh through the whole show that way
Hey guys! Loved the show. I am glad to see that the DD-500 is quite a handful for you too! I want to know how were you powering it. I am saving and want to set a budget for a generator and the rest of the power supply goodies from the Gigrig that I might need. On your spread sheet, you don't have the DD-500, so I would like to know if I will need another Timelord etc. for it. Saving up, because before another pedal, I need a good power supply to build my board. Thanks and keep it up!!!
And by the way, I hope you can do one with the Adrenalina III.. =) Cheers!
Great! I have the dd500, ita a great pedal, I agree with you guys, on everything you said! Common sense, not everyone have
There's a clear role for these pedals ( read effect units) in the studio. I find just as you said there can arise unexpected and and inexplicable inspiration from playing a second or two of any of these sounds. It's not all about playing out or functioning in a band.
+Jerry “Jerboythegreat” G Yes, good point. Extremely valid. Thanks for watching!
Yeaaay, more Catalinbread!
BTW, when you tried to demonstrate max delay on TAPE on the DD-500 you managed just to hit max at 600 ms. It is constraining max delay time if you use a) A/B simul mode, i e two delay engines at once b) the Input/output mode at A/B. You have to set them at mix mode first, and also, leave A/B simul mode, and choose "Normal". Then, 10 seconds is available on most engines, including tape, except filter, and tera echo mode. Especially with latest firmware.
Having seen the original video, I'm glad you revisited these pedals and put this out. When I watched that first video, something just seemed off.
How do you decide which one to buy?
+Paul Honeycutt Ae we conclude, it doesn't matter which one you buy. Buy the one your heart is telling you to buy and spend time learning it. There's nothing to choose between them in sound, once you get editing. If you can be arsed, that is!
Does anybody know if the DD 500 can have a chorus on the direct sound or is it hard wired for repeats only?
Thanks for the thorough overview and not resting on your laurels.
+Ben Asaro Hahaha! Cheers Ben, although resting on our laurels would be not bothering with making videos for TH-cam at all! Thanks for watching. :0)
Very often, I observe non-analog drythrough delays beat their ADT competitors in terms of sheer tone. Nemesis and the Empress Vintage Modified Superdelay had some of the best delay sounds I heard online. On the other hand, for many including me, ADT is a huge priority.
If you’re using a wet/dry rig as we do, it’s a must
A question about the shifty engine on the Nemesis: could you do something like that with the fx loop in memory man tt or is it a different thing?
this inspired me to redo all my patches in time for NYE, lets see if i remember them because I'm not driving to tomorrow's gig!
+Chris Cox Have a great gig Chris! If you can still see the pedalboard, you need another drink. :0)
What I've learned is that since I have a Timeline, I should just dig in and do the work, similar to the way you guys did here. (And stop worrying whether I really need a Nemesis Delay!!)
+Larry Lachmann Yep! That's what we'd do Larry. Dan absolutely loves the TimeLine, whereas I know that I will literally never give that much time to something this complex so it's a total waste of money for me. That said, I would absolutely buy an Echoplex... more money, one sound. Horses for courses! :0)
My left and right brain are at war when it comes to these things. I agree with you that it takes quite a lot of time to learn. My usual, "just start turning knobs" approach didn't work at all with the Timeline. I have many things to cover when I'm trying to write and record a song, so like you, I kind of abhor the learning curve time vacuum. My right brain is in total agreement with you. Get the Echoplex and shut up!! haha But a new one super tweakable one? No way!!! No way!!! lol
Would you ever consider a show on 'amp in a box' pedals like the tech 21 sans amp or Wampler plexi drive?
I just discovered the Keeley Tone Workstation yesterday, at the Chicago Music Exchange (great shop!). I didn't have time to dig in and try it all out in-store, though... But I'd be very curious to see a video comparing "several pedals in one box" to "the originals, side-by-side."
+Rob Flax We are going to do this. The Workstations are stellar - excellent pedals!
Great work guys, its nice to see someone reviewing pedals that doesnt throw it out the window because they dont understand the functions. Would be really good if you could run through what the details in the menu of the DD500 are. Its an amazing delay but tbh theres a bit of guess work when it comes to things like pre depth and post depth ducking, all those crazy things we dont hear about as guitarists unless we get into audio engineering lol
Entertaining and educational, as always! Mick, there is a DD500 owners group, on FB, that is extremely helpful with custom shared patches and preset lists. The DD500 editing functions are impressive ( I have one). But the convenience of an app interface makes the Nemesis more efficient to manipulate, much like the Eventide H9.
+David Taylor Excellent! Hooray for Facebook and committed pedal fans for a all the sharing. Thanks for watching!
Well done.
Would you consider doing an episode about tone sucking due to having to many pedals or long cables
+Ignacio Ruiz We could demonstrate that, but the whole reason Dan invented G2 is because it's such a massive problem (with certain pedals) so we sort of take it as read. Thanks for watching!
Ignacio Ruiz there was an episode about buffers and long cables that's pretty similar to what you asked...
i have a visual sound dual tap delay.. yea know...
but whats the best replacement?
Hey @thatpedalshow, just an FYI: If more apps show up in the future, you can use quicktime on a mac to capture the screen of the phone. Then you can overlay that video so we can better see what you're doing! (same goes for any apps on the computer itself, like Amplitude)
+Sam Muggleworth great idea, cheers Sam
Hey Mick, Dan... You guys Rock! Being the owner of a Big Sky, I just ordered a SA Collider... Sometimes I like keeping it simple, other times, when playing ambient type guitar, I want the odd.. this pedal does both within reason, and the sound quality (especially in stereo) is too boocoo! lol
I'm considering the Collider as it has analog dry-thru and like to play wet/dry (if possible, right now I'm happy if a venue allows amps at all, let alone more than one).
Apparently, you cant use non-analog dry-thu in wet/dry because...idk. It messes with the amp phase or something. It's a bummer because I have 3 One Series pedals and want to run them to one amp only, my wet amp. Might have to just go stereo, which is fun at home but not aways practical live.
I'm trying to persuade myself to keep the Nemesis because I can't afford any new gear, so I'm up late rewatching this.
Nice! I'm glad it's back up. I think it'd be interesting to see a head to head of the Nemesis and Alter Ego x4. They both have sound editing apps (use the iPad app for the TC!) but as you said - they're a brain space apart. For me, the Alter Ego x4 was the way to go because it's so manually accessible and has three presets on the fly.
+Adam K Yep, us too. Hooray!
31:35 had me in tears I was laughing so hard. Take a look at what it says on the Boss screen folks, lol!
+TheShredMethod It did make us titter a little bit too.
That Pedal Show Dan sounded like he was desperately trying not to laugh his head off
