I recently purchased the M-Vave Tank-G off Amazon and was curious as to whether it would serve as a solid backup solution in a live scenario.. here are my thoughts upon first try.
I watched 5 Tang-G reviews and you're the first one that shows us how to change preset banks. THANKS!

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 kzitem.info/news/bejne/mYKB2q2es3ynl4Y

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.

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!

*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.*
@tianjay
Ай бұрын
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

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).

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?

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.

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…

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.

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.
