Wow. That sounds ace.
I'm shocked how sensitive all the controls are for a 25 euro pedal, the eq seems excellent. Tempting......

Don't know how but when I hear Mikes Demos he always makes every pedal sound very versatile.
A good trait to have !! How do you do it Mike ?

mike how are you syncing up the audio?
are you using windows movie maker and sonar?
is sonar just being used as a monitor for clipping?
any tips so i can crack on with the demoz

Cheers guys.
John - I record video from the webcam to catch my chatter and Sonar to catch close miced or in this case DI'd audio.
Then later in Windows Movie Maker I undergo the soul destroying process of slicing, dicing and muting all the sections of the webcam audio when I'm playing so you only get the good audio.

Good stuff, maaaaan! Definitely a handy little pedal to have; are you using this with the Jamhub at practises now?

Yupyup!
iPhone with iRig was giving me occasional nasty digital clipping artifacts that were annoying and ugly, even though nothing was remotely clipping in the phone or the JamHub itself.
This thing does exactly what I want - I originally bought a Tech21 Blonde after asking around on Harmony Central for great clean sounding amp sims that take pedals well. Then I bought this one to see if it can cop the same things, and it passed muster - so the Blonde is now on ebay. I also picked up the Marshall one, so I'll demo that at some point also.
I just set it up with the first clean setting I use pretty much and smack it with my DLS/OCD Dual Drive and it sounds amazing. Basically the exact same feeling you get when tracking a mic'd up amp.
Amazing thing to have in your bag for if your amp goes down aswell. They can be DI'd into a PA and get you through.

<3 mike demos. Nice sounding pedal, and such a great range of sounds.
I know what you mean about the irig though, I'm verry disappointed with mine recently and even more so since it stopped working with the latest update. I need to find another quite practice solution now.
good work, sounds great.
