Thanks for your replies.

Thinking through the playing experience it looks like I will have to tap the SIM1 XT-1 one or more times every time I change change pickups on the guitar I'm playing. For example:

On the guitar, switching from the bridge pickup to the neck pickup - the blade switch moves through one, two, three, four notches but of course, you can do that in one smooth movement. On the floor, I have to tap up or down button, one, two, three, four times. That feels like a lot of thinking and coordination to switch pickups. That might not be a big obstacle in the studio, but I can imagine getting out-of-sync when playing live.

Ingolf, am I missing something?

Of course you can get out of sync.

OTOH, if you know you'll only use the 5 and 2 positions of your Strat you can program these to positions to neighbor patches.

All in all the pros are you can leave several guitars at home.

The cons are you need to do some logistics regarding what source guitar you plan to use and what sounds you want to play and program this thing accordingly.

Unless you use midi (which needs planning as well).

nice thread! Ingolf, do you know if the pedal works with alternate tunings such as drop D or standard tuning in other keys?

cheers!

Yes it does. Profiling is in standard tuning. But after that you can go to alternate tunings as well.

Have been thinking of buying one of these.Has anyone here gigged it?

I'd love to use one guitar for multiple different guitar sounds on any gig without having to carry multiple guitars around !

Also,if this re-creates well then I could potentially select my best playing guitar action wise and feel wise and use that instead of worrying about the actual output sound?

Unfortunately there are no gigs ATM, otherwise I would have gigged with it.

And yes, you take out your favorite player and carry all of your precious guitars in this little box.

The Sim1 sounds like them, but it always feels like your source guitar of course (which is fine).

I have owned the Sim1 XT-1 for a few months now (took advantage of a promo and got it approximately 100.- Euros off)

The build quality is great, and the true signal quality is awesome. There is no discernible latency.

I made the experiment to profile my guitars and play the source guitar with its own profile and switch the true bypass original guitar and the profile on/off. You can’t tell which is which.

I'm sure your use cases for unlimited guitars, use your own guitar tones and separate USB keys for different source guitars will work very well. They work for me.

What I can’t comment on is the fly rig use case (as I simply haven’t used this yet).

Compared to a Line6 Variax the Sim1 is much better.

Jajajaj jaja no pensé que se hablara tanto español por acá. Saludos.

you're right.

Hi there!

Hola!

Also a killswitch can be established easily by morphing the rig volume from default to minimum or by switching on an (unused) loop.

Quote from alexburnsred

but when i change the tempo in the rig menu to performance tempo and change to another perfomance, in which i use the same profile, what is the tempo of the profile then?

You can set a default performance tempo for every performance.

I organize my performances in songs (which vary in tempo of course).

Quote from alexburnsred

Hi,

I'm in performance mode -

when i use a rig, for example rythm(slot1) , and tap a tempo, then change to clean rig with delay (slot2) - the tempo is not kept. the tempo of the clean rig is the tempo of the rig menu.

How can i keep the tapped tempo? I just want to keep it in the current perfomance. when i change to another perfomance, i need the pre-set tempo from the rig menu for this perfomance.

hope you understand what i mean.

thanks

In rig menu you need to choose 'use rig tempo'.

Hola!

Hey Stefan, ist deine Helix- Liaison schon vorüber?

Quote from Kulle_Wumpenteich

Ich schweife zwar jetzt etwas vom Thema ab, aber es passt ziemlich gut hier rein:
Was mir manchmal beim Kemper fehlt ist ein zielgerichteterer Einsatz des Delays oder der Reverbs.

Aktuell ist es so, dass man beide über den gesamten Sound legt. Manchmal empfinde ich es dabei so, dass das was man vorher beim Sound in den Details erarbeitet hat, dadurch verunklart wird, weil an einigen Punkten die Details dann wieder untergehen.

Ich denke manchmal, dass es gut wäre, wenn man die räumlichen Effekte nur auf bestimmte Stomps - oder wie in diesem Fall - auf bestimmte Stimmen legen könnte.

Mal als Beispiel:
Auf einem WahWah macht ein räumlicher Effekt eher weniger Sinn. Auf einem Overdrive schon eher. Auf einem Compressor überhaupt nicht, insbesondere dann, wenn der Sound eher rauh als Basis werden soll.

Heißt also, dass ich gerne bestimmte Stomps lieber aussparen würde von räumlichen Effekten oder eben bestimmte Stereo-Effekte lieber nur auf bestimmte Stimmen legen würde, wie in diesem Fall.

Ich weiß jetzt nicht ob das verständlich ist, was ich meine. Ich kann es aber irgendwie nicht besser ausdrücken.

Dann müsste man ein Multi- Grid/ Multi- Path- Setup haben, um eine lineare Signalkette aufzuspalten.

Axe- Fx und auch das Helix haben so etwas.

Klingen leider von den Ampsounds her nicht so gut wie der Profiler.

I think you need to page one of the moderators to do it for you.

Fare well !

Welcome. You'll find the ground lift soft switches in one of the sub menus of the output menu.

Quote from DonPetersen

Harmonic Pitch in Slot X (also post-amp, aber vor andere Effekte, die die Tonhöhe, die der Effekt ja nun mal erkennen muss, verschleiern)

Interessant.
Ich meine, irgendwann mal gelernt zu haben, dass beim Profiler das Tonhöhentracking immer ganz am Anfang der Signalkette passiert (das ist also fix) und es daher nur soundliche Auswirkungen hat, wo ich den Pitch- Shifter platziere.

Ist das falsch?
