Walrus ACS1 With Pedals - A Complete Rig For Your Pedalboard???

- In today's video, I'm looking at the Walrus Audio ACS1. The Walrus Audio ACS1 is and all in one Amp- Cab sim that can replace your amplifier in the studio and for live use, but in my opinion this unit shines once you have a bunch of pedals incorporated.
Here's what Walrus Audio say about the ACS1.
The ACS1 models three vintage amp styles crucial to music industry history designated by their places of origin. When running the ACS1 in stereo, one amp can be used through both channels or mix and match amps and cabinets on the left and right channels with the L + R switch. Simply choose the channel you want it to modify, select your amp and cab model, and set your levels. Then flip over to the other channel and choose your amp and cab settings. If you would like to use the same settings on both channels, set the switch to the middle or “+” and dial in all your settings. They will be duplicated on the left and right outputs.
Volume and Gain work together, similar to how they would on an amp. For example, increasing gain levels will also raise overall volume output so adjust the volume knob accordingly.
Fullerton is inspired by the classically bright and clear Fender® Deluxe Reverb®. Crisp clean tones with loads of headroom that players have come to love over the years.
London is inspired by a 1962 Marshall® Bluesbreaker® with a harmonically rich, valve-driven breakup. Articulate and sensitive response.
Dartford is inspired by the legendary jangly high-end tones from a 1960s Vox® AC30 with all the bite and chime from the British Invasion.
The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs. - เพลง
Paul, you're the only guitarist on TH-cam that more than half the time, I have to stop the video, pick up my guitar, dial in the effects, and try to replicate some gorgeous set of chords you just played. Which takes me down a rabbit hole for about a half an hour...then I can come back to the video. Thanks for all the inspiration.
Ahh that’s real nice to hear cheers K!
Im doint that too, on ur boss ir 200 video...thnx for giving us a platform to tweaks 🖐🖐🖐
Great video, gave me loads of ideas. I like how you got 5 gain stages out of 2 pedals too without using presets!
Such a good player
the clean tones here sound phenomenal... full, natural, dynamic, glassy... unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce this glorious sound myself at home with my Strat and ACS1...
What a gorgeous Strat
Nice pedal, great solution for a silent stage! Love the soundscape vibe, Paul 🌅
Interesting to see the UA pedals make an appearance!
Really tasty playing Paul! I would be curious to see a review of the simplifier deluxe....:)
wow nice sounddd !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So having the reverb and delay behind the ACS1 is like having it in the “effects loop” so it doesn’t affect the dry signal
Awesome video, Paul! Huge fan of your playing… have ever thought about reviewing the UAD’s dream 65? Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
I’d love to look at the Ua pedals. I’m just not in their review list.
Great video loving the sound of the Ac-1 sounds great and a very versatile to boot.I have been looking for some info on Amp pedals “ just wondering if it’s possible to run two amp pedals for wet dry in to monitors / or two amp pedals and one normal amp for wet dry wet. Would make a great video as far as I can see no one has done this video on ytube with amp/pedals Phil
This is already stereo in/out so you can run 1 channel with all your effects and 1 channel dry. Get any ABY pedal (or a stereo pedal that still splits when Bypassed) put all your front effects in front, and all your ambient effects behind all on the Left and then run direct in and out on the right channel, instant wet/dry
Awesome tones are you using any di or line isolator or is it straight to the audio interface?
Hi! Thanks for the vídeo! I would like to ask you two questions. (1) Would the ACS1 work as a platform for a really high gain, like the Empress Heavy, to play metal? (2) Is there an effects loop in the ACS1 to put the modulation, delay and reverb after it? Thanks! Best.
I also have an ACS1, a really good speaker simulator😂😂
I don't know, usually if I want to get a good distorted tone, I go for a big tube amp distortion, so it's a little bit of a pity for me that this doesn't distort that much. I mean, it's like having an axe fx and instead of using distorted amp models you use a clean amp with overdrive pedals. But anyway very cool option to create stereo setups
You guys find a way sound the nasty compression breathing? I love the tones I get but the compressor/limiter is awful for dynamic passages.
How do you like this vs the ir200?
Hi guy! Congrats for the video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 In your opinion, between the ACS1 and the Iridium, which one do you think is better and which one do you think has more real amp sound?
THANKS!!
If your after clean amps the ACS, if you want a bit more dirt the Iridium
@@TheStudioRats ok man! Thank you for the answer! I found the sound and response of the ACS1 to be more faithful, closer and with more realism and feeling of a real amp miked in a room than the Iridium. And the ACS1 has features that the Iridium does not. I prefer clean amp sound and leave the dirt to my overdrive pedals.
i think that's the best i've heard of this pedal. very nice. but, how much would you spend on all those separate high end pedals? for me, this idea of no amp set up would be my practice tool or quiet stage where i leave amp at home. probably at end of my existing pedal board. however, my over drive is all in my amp, so i'd have to add a drive, and i never use reverb with live, but probably a stereo delay and drive really makes these pedals shine like you've done. sorry, bit long winded.
Cheers Scott
Plus... you can load many diferent IR's
Hi Paul. Which do you prefer….the acs1 or the boss ir200
Great video man. If you could only choose between this and a UA Ruby which one would make it home?
I’ve never tried any of the UA amp pedals, I’d like too tho.
I have the ruby 63 , it's amazing.
does anyone demonstrate the midi capabilities of this pedal, like saving presets with a midi controller such as a voodoo lab px8 plus?
Oh my god I love the sound of your strings !!! Which gauge are you using on this Strat? Love the video bro !!!
Cheers, 10-46
@@TheStudioRats Thank you !!! Beautiful sound brother !!!
Doesn't seem - understandably given the price points - to have the fidelity of the Axe FX. That said, for a silent stage or function gig where the audience aren't there for YOUR tone, it seems a decent option.
is it some preparation for a review of new Universal Audio amps in a box? :)
If they sent me the pedals I’d love to review them.
I thought you were into the ir200 and iridium previously... What's the verdict between the three?
They are all good, if you want an all in one the IR200 is very hard to beat.
Hi Paul! You talk a lot about the feel, especially with regards to playing a real amp. In an older video you said you like the feel of the GT1000, which I absolutely agree with. When I switched to the Quad Cortex, the feel got a little worse. In the range of all the modellers and amp sims, where would you place the ACS in terms of feel? P.S.: I agree with the orhers, I love your licks and your playing!!!
The quad which I
put through the return fx of my amp feels great. It’s better feeling than the Kemper and the helix. I love my amps first but the quad definitely feels most like an amp to me. Just my opinion and as a gear addict since I’m a kid I think I know at least what I like and feel and sounds. It beats the sound of the other modelers that I mentioned as well. Cheers.
What jam pedal is that?? Im a big fan of theor works
Double dreamer
We want more axe Fx videos
I do one next week.
Paul, interesting fact, Walrus penis have an actual bone called a baculum. You‘re welcome!
That’s a lovely fact Shahar, it’s shame I didn’t know this when I was shooting the video.
It's call an oosick.
Children can fact check.
why you using reverb this is not a acs1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
