I have the Eventide (H9 max) with the tricera chhorus, the Neunaber Immerse and the digitech nautila 8 voice chorus - all pedals. I have the same impression, I was a little bit disappointed by the tricera chorus. I like the Neunaber best, but only in the first selected position (single trichorus without detune). On the other hand I think the digitech nautila is one of the best chorus pedals with an incredible wide sound stage. Very good as a substitute for a trichorus.

Could you elaborate more on the pickup selection, is that magic position from the pickups switching to parallel and which to 2 pickups are they?
@vaisatchatrucci
3 ай бұрын
@matttaylor1449 Yes so in “normal” mode for each pickup which is the buttons in the UP position, they are in series and in the DOWN position they are switched to parallel. So the sound I like the most for cleans is with the pickup 5-way selector in the 2nd position which is Bridge / Middle and the Bridge in series (UP) and the middle in parallel (DOWN). I believe that’s correct. The thing to remember about these pickups as well is that the “single coils” are actually stacked single coils so they are noiseless and not traditional single coils so switching them to parallel gives them the effect in a way of being “split” which thins out the sound but it also retains the low-end more than splitting what is essentially a humbucker. Hope that helps!

Great comparison and very useful. Thanks for your work. I never heard of the threeway. It has the widest and smoothest sound. Its very expensive. I could not find any other demo on youtube. I have a small and a big rack. In the small rack I use the neuaber inspire trichorus. It sounds a little bit better for me than the eventide tricera trichorus. In my big rack I use the digitech nautila chorus. It's not a trichorus but an 8-voice chorus. I never heard a wider chorus than this pedal. I tried to add the eventide pitch (H9 max) in parallel (of course) but it doesn't get better. The nautila is enough. For the sake of transparency it's important to add the detune in parallel to the chorus. Otherwise it's too wooshi.

@NikolausBrocke Thanks so much! Appreciate you taking the time to share all that! Yeah the Threeway is made by a friend of mine here in Nashville I met when looking for tri-stereo chorus pedals way back before the pandemic. I love the way it sounds as well! As far as the Inspire, I agree it’s amazing sounding and wish I had obtained one for the shootout for sure. And yeah in this demo which I used my home studio board for and in my own live rack I use for church, all my effects are run parallel to my dry signal and agree for clarity it’s the only way to go! I love not worrying about the output level of one impacting the input of the next more than anything and quite frankly just not a fan of my delay trails for instance having reverb on them - I just think it sounds cleaner but there’s always the case for reverb having modulation on it but my verbs typically allow you to add modulation if you want but that’s another entire rabbit hole 😂 . One thing I want to do in another video is show the choruses in the Eclipse since you mentioned the multi-voice chorusing because the Eclipse has amazing sounding multi-voice chorusing as well as the micro-pitch being WAY more lush than the one on the H9 or H90. For whatever reason it’s REALLY wide and thick and much more so than the others and I wish I had incorporated that into the last video but I was pressed for time as always. I also just got a used Dimension D pedal - the wazacraft Boss one so I’ll do something with that in a Huff centric way I’m sure. Anyway, thanks for all that info and appreciate your kind words and support my friend!

The mid-boost on the guitar I was using I actually never turned on, what you are hearing is the switching of parallel to series and vice-versa on each pickup that assists in this tone. So if you look up the latest Dann Huff interview by Vertex Effects they have put a link in the description to a wiring diagram that shows how to match the wiring of Dann Huffs strat and that is going to get you closer than adding a mid-boost for sure. Hope that helps!

@NikolausBrocke
11 күн бұрын
The so called "midboost" is not a true midboost. It's a combination of an impedance transformer (buffer) and a boost circuit that boosts low frequencies at 100 Hz with a wide Q-factor. The combination of both is important. The buffer changes the impedance from high to low. This opens the frequency spectrum because the load (cable, pots) have no influence on the tone anymore. Great for clean tones! You can plug in to a line input without sounding dull. But when you play overdriven lead tones this has too much high frequencies. That's when the "mid boost" does his thing. In boosting lows, the nasty highs are tamed for the high gain tone. It's like VaiSatchAtrucci said, the series/parallel switch seems to do the most magic. You can use a passive circuit and have an external buffer pedal. E. g. the lehle sunday driver or the xotic super clean buffer.

I would also say (which I just found out) that the new’ish Meris Mercury X reverb has the same algorithms as the CXM and I may be going that route if that’s the case but I’ll have to hear it to believe it. The demos I’ve heard of the Mercury X are pretty mind blowing too but I absolutely love the tactile factor of the CXM and in the LEAST will keep it for home studio use and maybe swap it for the Mercury X in my rack. Bottom line, I can’t recommend the CMX enough man it’s a STUNNING sounding reverb.

I did used to have the Mini Effects Gizmo but not the “X” version which the only main difference is that the “X” has stereo capable loops and the one I had was just mono but I sold that a while back. The micro Line Mixer is being used on my pedalboard to basically allow me to run all the “wet” fx (anything not overdrive, compression or gain / preamp related) in parallel so I can keep all those signal paths of those devices unaffected by any of the other wet effects in use which provides (in my opinion) more clarity and more stable level control where I don’t have to worry about the level of the delay hitting the reverb too hard and clipping it or whatever. Hope that helps!

Awesome, thanks a bunch! How do you go out from the micro mixer? Do you use the dry out at all, and go wet/dry/wet, or do you go stereo from the wet out? Just stereo? Wet/dry..? Thanks again😅

@@stiansveen No problem! I usually just go out stereo from the wet output but the wet output also has the dry output mixed in. You can turn off the dry mix (set dry level control to zero/off) and then dry out of the physical dry output for wet / dry / wet but I only have 2 amps so I would need a 3rd amp to run wet/dry/wet technically. I can run wet out into my two FR/FRs and run the dry out to one amp which would work but it would sound better if I had a 3rd amp. I can also sum the wet output (with the dry mix level off) to mono and run mono wet fx into one amp and run out the dry output to the 2nd amp and run wet/dry as well. I have a DI box that has a sum button that I have had to use for live for PA’s which aren’t running in stereo so that my delays translate correctly. For me I just enjoy running stereo whether it be direct or into my 2 amps which is impractical enough without adding a 3rd amp 😂 but it sounds so good in the room it’s a lot of fun.

@@vaisatchatrucci thats great, thank you!! If you’re using the micro mixer standalone for the stereo setup, do you have to go through the dry first, and then back into wet inputs and then wet out..? So you’d have to use a split after the dry out for a potential wet/dry/wet? Tryna wrap my basic analog mono head around all this😅

@@stiansveen Believe me it took me days to wrap my head around it too so don’t feel bad! So basically I am running a y-splitter after the last “dry” effect with each split going into a JHS splitter which gives me 4 “dry” outputs to feed the wet effect inputs. If you just have one wet effect like an H9 or H90 or something you can go out of the dry output on the RJM Micro line mixer and feed that into the input of the H9/H90 as an example but since I needed at least 3 dry signals I chose to go the JHS buffered splitter route and it works great. They are underneath the board and out of the way. The bottom of the board is a hot mess and hidden thankfully cause frankly the cable management is quite embarrassing LOL 😂

Keeley's Dyno My Roto? Neunaber built the ultimate tri-chorus, imo; check it out.

@m0j0b0ne Thanks for the suggestions! The keeley was considered but it’s mono and it sounds great but I’m only interested in stereo choruses so I passed on that. I also found it a bit thin for my taste. As far as the Neunaber, it’s most definitely a contender and right in the mix with the rest for sure, I just didn’t have an opportunity to snag one for this video unfortunately. Thanks again for the tip though so others can check it out!

Im upgrading a strat and im thinking Lace Sensors for a super wet reverb chorus delay sound like this? The Landau pickups are a bit pricey
@vaisatchatrucci
4 ай бұрын
@BorisBidjanSaberi11 I honestly have not played lace sensors recently enough but I would think if memory serves they would definitely sound good. The key to my guitars sound in this video is the parallel / series options and has less to do with the actual pickups themselves though I absolutely love these pickups in any configuration.

what your thoughts about difference between avatar 1H and 2H?
@vaisatchatrucci
Ай бұрын
@olsza6969 Avatar 2H has ability to store 124 more presets than the 1H and also uses supposedly better AD/DA converters. The 2H has a more versatile tone control vs the hi-cut that the 1H has. Lastly, the mix control on the 1H is just up to 50% whereas the mix control on the 2H is capable of 100% wet mix. So to me personally, the 2H is the one I would choose. Hope that helps!

I want to learn how to play the chords and general style showcased in this video. What would I search for this style? Is it 80s JazzFusion style or something?

@matttaylor1449 I would say start by searching for the discographies of Steve Lukather, Michael Landau and Dann Huff and you’ll be able to find tracks you like and learn a wealth of those 80’s clean chords and riffs just from those.

@soakinindeep The main one is Michael Landaus “I’m buzzed” from his “Tales from the Bulge” album. It’s amazing and uses that tri-stereo micro pitched clean tone though I believe his tone there may actually be more direct to console vs through an amp but man it sounds so amazing. Some of the other riffs are from a song by Richard Marx “Endless Summer Nights” and one intro clean riff to a song by Steve Perry from his first solo record called “You Should Be Happy” and lastly one clean version of a dirtier riff by Dann Huff from Peter Cetera’s “Glory Of Love” which I probably butcher but similar vibe though he uses a Dimension D chorus on that in addition to the Tri-stereo chorus for his clean tones mostly.

are you running the micro pitch before or after the chorus?
@vaisatchatrucci
4 ай бұрын
@mjsthx1138 In this video it’s running in parallel with chorus but ideally should be running in series after the chorus to have even more impact I think. I’ll also say this, the micro-pitch on the Eclipse is WAYYYYY more intense and I wish I had done that in hind-sight even when running in parallel. The Eclipses micro-pitch sounds SO freaking good. I used it this weekend in my rack rig and it’s so much more pronounced than the H9’s algorithm.

@@vaisatchatrucci My experience is, that it sounds best if the detune is added in parallel. It's much more defined and has a wider sound stage. That's probably the reason why the tricera chorus (which is a tri chorus plus the detune option) doesn't sound so good, because the detune is added in series.

@n0nyabznss I’m impressed you made it that far! 😂 Thank you! Yes of course, I am saying that instead of using the mics/cabs on the Eleven Rack which I think a decade later is the weakest link, I am going to (in theory-remains to be seen) show how great the Eleven Rack still sounds both using IR’s instead of the built in cabs as well as how good it sounds using the Universal Audio OX Stomp for the cabs. The reason I say that is the models to me always sounded really great and I think they still hold up to this day but we’ll see!!!
