Thank you for watching, I'm glad that you got something from it. Hopefully you watched my other video th-cam.com/video/8LKtyhzJvdQ/w-d-xo.html as there is some presets to download. Cheers
The biggest appeal of the tank g is the ability to model existing equipment thanks to the latest firmware and software updates. I've created pretty decent models of my real amps with various pedals that can be run into a pa system directly. Having reverb or delay on the pedal is great as it's just like using the effects loop in a real amp. I hope you're enjoying it!
Yeah, it’s amazing how much it can do considering the price. My follow-up video to this one showcases some presets that i made using cab IRs and i think they sound great! Unfortunately, I no longer have any physical amps that I can model but nonetheless, it’s still pretty impressive.
Thanks mate, I’ve just uploaded a new video with some presets that I created. You can also download the presets from the link in the description.. th-cam.com/video/8LKtyhzJvdQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for commenting.. it wasn’t really an assessment, just my first impression upon hearing the presets.. in my opinion they were not great sounding but it’s subjective so if they’re your thing, that’s great. I’ve since created some of my own presets which i think sound fantastic and i would totally use them live but i haven’t had chance to do a video about them yet. For the money, this thing is amazing! Cheers T
This is a good backup unit for the price. The sound quality is not stellar out of the box (presets are a bit weird, quite a bit of noise and the gate is way too slow to hide that). But with some good IRs and additionnal tone models (see ChuckD on YT) it sounds ok. Not as good as my Ampero and quite far from ToneX despite the same kind of AI based modeling ( but serviceable).
Thanks for the review! Just got mine today but haven't played around with the settings or the app. Just curious if you use IR's on this pedal when you run it into an amp or just into a board or recording device. Thanks!
Hi, thanks for watching, I’ve since done a follow-up video which includes a few presets that you can download so be sure to check that one out. I ended up running it directly into a power amp and speaker because I was getting some aliasing through my computer for some reason. See that video here th-cam.com/video/8LKtyhzJvdQ/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, i saw that they released that recently. Whilst there appears to be more control over the effects parameters i think a two button pedal would be too limiting for me. I definitely think it would suit someone wanting a versatile pedal on their pedal board though
hmm. sounds a bit crappy to bh. you could get a good ol sansamp based pedal for that money. excessive tweaking helped a bit… dont those company invest in a proper preset development team? the boss effect: i always wondered how a company that builds some of the best pedals can fill their multifx units with hundreds of unusable presets…
yeah, this thing really benefits from third-party cabinet impulse responses… I’ve just created a new video with some presets that you can download that work great for me. th-cam.com/video/8LKtyhzJvdQ/w-d-xo.html
Yes, I edit on Mac.. the software is a little “buggy” but works well enough. I have a couple of Schecters, this one is a modified Sun Valley Super Shredder.. I talk about it here -> th-cam.com/video/LM9F4gz7RuY/w-d-xo.html
I also tried the tank g. Unfortunately, all distortion amps (6-9) have a noise that the noise gate does not reduce but only reduces as soon as you stop playing. Noise is not reduced while playing. I tried different cables, guitars from Fender, Gibson, Gretsch. It's always the same noise. With my Headrush effects board there is no noise. Do you have an idea?
it’s a very basic noise gate in that it will suppress sound (noise) once the threshold is below a certain level, i.e. when you stop playing but as soon as the threshold is breached, the gate opens and you hear everything. The more gain you are using, the noisier it will be, but generally with high gain sounds, while you’re playing, it will mask the noise so my only advice would be to try to limit how much gain you’re using within your sound. Maybe experiment with different amp and cabinet combinations. this is probably not much help to you however it’s hard for me to diagnose/help without actually being there and hearing what you are hearing.
That’s an interesting question.. it’s not something that I’ve personally had experience with but it would be a super compact live rig if you could do it. Obviously you could run a cable with adapter from the FMicro in to the Tank-G but I’m not sure if they would communicate via USB. Maybe someone else here has done it and can comment?
Hi, thanks and yes, this was a consideration when i bought the unit however this video was just about my initial thoughts. I’m hoping to do some more in depth videos soon
For me i have found the menu very confusing maybe i don't understand but i never know well in what mode i am ? The green light is always blinking and it shows only a P or an L if i press the 2 switch B & C and it goes very fast. And nothing to remember me it what mode i am ? How do you know it ?
Yes i have understand it after a day of pause. I was certainly very tired. Thank you. Now i have found others problems i cannot extract the firmware file my windows says me it does not found any program to open it ? And the windows program to manege the pedal board have no install exe it's just an exe who works by itself ?
Easy, you can just press the currently lit preset switch to bypass it, or press switch 2 and 3 at the same time to enter manual mode and then you can freely toggle the individual effects on/off as labelled on the switches.
I have this Tank G and I'm new with all of this stuff, i wanna plug it via XLR out to my XLR in soundcard, is it safe to use phantom power? Coz it doesn't work without it
To continue it makes too much time to find a good sound. The reverbs have all some little shimering sound at the end and deliver too many effetcs. The 2nd amp is too lower than the first, why i don't know ?The irs make more confuse to find the good sound because with 9 amps and 8 irs it makes 72 possibilities fine but for me really too much to find quicly my sound. I was very pleased to receive it but now after passing 5 h i am very very confused just register 2 or 3 sound i do not fine any good sound for me and do not paly anything excepted for searching a sound. It's akways the same with with multiples effects the videos ate very good on paper but in practice it's not that at all and i went at the website and download the android appli. And not see any help at all even in the app andtill now no firmware update. Too bad i have earded nices sound in videos but fir me it miss something to show exacly where we are and many sound need to be redefined and i would prefer to avec an od a dist and a fuz than the irs. It miss a lot for me. And it's not as simple at we can see in video. It take too much time and i prefer to play first.
I agree, it’s not the most intuitive unit but for its price, you get a lot of functionality. Did you check out my later video here -> th-cam.com/video/8LKtyhzJvdQ/w-d-xo.html I have 4 presets that you can download that may give you some decent starting tones.
For that time i'm blocked for updating the firmware. The file i downloaded can't be open in windows10. And the M-wave program does instal in windows at all it's just an exe who recognize the Tank G but that's all i can't update. They have made a not usual program to do this. Nothung work as normal program who get instaled normaly in windows as others. I don'tlike this maner to proceed at all it's really too complicate and nothing work as they show in the tutorial video to make it. The firmware file is not recognize at all by windows and does not show me all thefile they show for me it show me only one compresed file with a strange extension and windows 10 says it does not recognize this file and can't extract it correctly. End of tje storyi'm fade up i have loose 5 h for nothing i don't like this manet unsual to proceed i will send it back to the saler that's all thank you for your efforts but i al fade up from all this.
No i haven’t yet and since creating this video a couple of days ago, i still haven’t had time to explore it any further.. my next step will be to program a bunch of useable presets

I watched 5 Tang-G reviews and you're the first one that shows us how to change preset banks. THANKS!

best 44 bucks I ever spent! Cant wait for your next video on it. Thanks for doing one.

Awesome sound and I like it thank you Tian Jay
Thanks for listening
Great Riview ! just got one yesterday 4-jun24
Thanks, check out my latest video, i have some presets that you can download. - th-cam.com/video/8LKtyhzJvdQ/w-d-xo.html
Tank-G is one of the savior for the broke person who loves music. like me
Yeah, definitely good value for money with everything that it does!
Works good with pedals.I grabbed one of these for really cheap.Messed around with it and added a joyo Vintage overdrive and presto!!!
I didn't agree with your assessment of the overdrive sounds. Personally, I saw a lot of programming room with the OD sounds in both banks 1 and 2.

@@tianjay Thanks TJ. I got ya ! ! 🙂
@@tianjay Would you sell your presets that you use live?
Tank G sounds awesome, but cant handle a full stack. I burned 2 of them up in a month and a half and not sure if I want to get another one.
Love the incomplete sketch above the speaker.
Haha, thanks. Artwork courtesy of my daughter.. she draws portraits of me for gifts 😂
Are you able to test and confirm if those pedal switches control TH-cam play/pause at all?
Do you experience volume drop when you engage the modulations?

*Compare the Tank-G with M-VAVE's new multi-effect BLACK BOX, which is said to have more effects and even IRs and is almost the same price.*
Yeah, i saw that they released that recently. Whilst there appears to be more control over the effects parameters i think a two button pedal would be too limiting for me. I definitely think it would suit someone wanting a versatile pedal on their pedal board though
@@tianjay *The Tank-G is not stereo, yet you think it's good? On the face of it, neither is the Blackbox. Thanks for your response.*

Hi, thank you for a serious test. I assume that you use Mac so it's possible to edit on Mac. What model of Schecter you play?

Wondering if it will take my Fender Micro Mustang via usb and play the Fender with fx from this device on top?
That’s an interesting question.. it’s not something that I’ve personally had experience with but it would be a super compact live rig if you could do it. Obviously you could run a cable with adapter from the FMicro in to the Tank-G but I’m not sure if they would communicate via USB. Maybe someone else here has done it and can comment?
great video... but i though i should let you know that the tank g can also profile amps pedals plugins etc
Hi, thanks and yes, this was a consideration when i bought the unit however this video was just about my initial thoughts. I’m hoping to do some more in depth videos soon
Thinking about getting one. I heard that the software doesn't work on a Mac. Could you confirm that?
The editing software works although it’s a little “buggy”.. there doesn’t seem to be a way to update firmware on the Mac though.
Will this thing work well in an amp's FX loop? I want to use my amps tone but use the units FX like mod dly & rvb.
Definitely! It’ll work just like any stomp box, just turn off the amp modelling.
For me i have found the menu very confusing maybe i don't understand but i never know well in what mode i am ?
The green light is always blinking and it shows only a P or an L if i press the 2 switch B & C and it goes very fast. And nothing to remember me it what mode i am ? How do you know it ?
I agree, their support is not very good and it’s not the easiest unit to update.. it took me a while to get it done
P is for Preset, L is for Live mode
The blinking light is a bluetooth ready to pair, to turn it off hold B and C long enough, longer than tuner mode
Yes i have understand it after a day of pause. I was certainly very tired.
Thank you. Now i have found others problems i cannot extract the firmware file my windows says me it does not found any program to open it ? And the windows program to manege the pedal board have no install exe it's just an exe who works by itself ?
Is it possible to turn off preamp section. I want to use it with tube amp, just fx section (dly, rev, mod)?
Thanks!
Easy, you can just press the currently lit preset switch to bypass it, or press switch 2 and 3 at the same time to enter manual mode and then you can freely toggle the individual effects on/off as labelled on the switches.
@@tianjay thanks!!!
I have this Tank G and I'm new with all of this stuff, i wanna plug it via XLR out to my XLR in soundcard, is it safe to use phantom power? Coz it doesn't work without it
It doesn’t require phantom power.. make sure it’s turn on, with the switch on the back.. definitely doesn’t require phantom
You don't need to connect it to your sound card either, the unit functions as audio interface too.
Where did you purchase the downloads?
They’re just the factory presets. I will be doing another video soon showcasing some of the presets I’ve created since though..
