has anyone used it as part of a pedal setup, just for chorus, delay, reverb and maybe other effects? does it make any sound loss?

I wouldn't use it for a pedal set up... This is an entry level pedal for beginners. It's made entirely of cheap plastic, now imagine yourself on stage in front of a bunch of people and stomping on this thing and having it shatter under foot. For a pro set up, think metal, don't buy anything that can't take a beating.

I have not used as part of a set up so I cannot answer that. As for sound loss, I have not experienced a loss of sound. If you mean volume loss or tone, no I have not heard it diminish in that way. Even the phase shift does a nice job of keeping the volume level consistent. That is something I experienced with other units back in the 70's and 80's. You would get this great roaring effect on the up and down but the volume and richness of the guitar sound faded, as the phase faded downward. I loaned this to a heavy metal player to try out and he didn't like it because he claimed it was too crispy and didn't distort as much. The distortion is there and if you want something to disguise bad playing so you can pound out bar chords for hours, this unit is not it.

I sold mine too as it hums like crazy. I bought the Zoom G1XN Guitar Multi Effects Pedal from Amazon instead. This one has so many good stuffs. I love to use it each time I play guitar in the church. It acts as a great preamp even with effect turned OFF.

There are some effects uses wah and other just uses volume. Im gonna tell you the true, thats not the best pedal for wah effect but talking about price-benefits its excelent.

I only use it to amp my harmonica. There are some spatial effects that add depth to it. I think it was designed more for a guitar

Yes. The onboard amp modeling is great for that. I usually run it very and let my effects pedals do the work but as astand alone amp itis more than capable of producing any overdrive you want including deep saturation metal.

1. Don't use it like a pedal in front of an amp, it's meant to be used as a DI box into a soundboard. 2. Make sure your on board eq controls on your guitar aren't turned up the whole way, if the volume on your guitars eq is blasted it will distort the effect. 3. If you are using other effects, make sure they aren't overdriving the ADI21. If everything is correct and its still distorting than it may be the effect. I've never had any problems with it distorting at all, it should be a pretty transparent effect just adding some eq to your signal and acting as a DI.

I have indeed tried this on my bass. I ran my Fender USA Jazz bass with flatwounds through my electric guitar pedalboard and out to my 1974 Musicman HD130 head through 2x10 cab at my church. Excellent crunch distortion. I was surprised actually. Worked great through compressor than AC Tone. Had a some great bite to the tone. I didn't want to buy another "just for bass" pedal and I'm glad I tried this one out first. Totally punchy and growly. It turns heads for sure. I also got some really great ambient lows (imagine long sustaining synths) with the combination of the AC Tone (took some fiddling to set to bass, as opposed to my electric), volume pedal for swells, through my delay pedals.. then later, my Strymon Blue Sky Reverb pedal (sometimes with the shimmer effect). Hope that helps. I don't think it was meant for bass necessarily, but it does the job for the one or two songs I needed.

ive experimented with running my mic through my pedal board for recording and it seemed to work fine however I prefer to use the reverb settings from the recording program. I cant see why it wouldnt work live but like the other guy said, you would need to use 1/4'' cable for your microphone.

I have. It sounds fantastic for its small size. It's perfect for practicing alone or doing small street gigs. I sometimes use it with guitar and effects processors, but I primarily use it with a Microkorg synthesizer. I've put it through hell, and I can say that It still sounds pretty great at every frequency.

You can use the delay by itself or mix in the chorus or vibrato with the delay. You can also turn the delay down and use either chorus or vibrato. There is a selector style switch for chorus or vibrato and a control for the amount. You can get some nice sounds from the vibrato and echo running at the same time. For the price it is a nice pedal but beware, it is not true bypass, and will be noticeable in your signal chain. Especially if you are playing cleaner guitar styles. If you are going to use a lot of distortion or overdrive or fuzz you won't notice it and you can get some pretty good sounds out of it.

I have this placed after my tuner and it feeds directly in to the rack effect unit that I control through a midi-pedal board. I ran into some cracking noise that was attributed to my cable which was old. Try arranging your pedals but keep in mind that distortion would have an affect on the output.

My very very small rig is two orange micro terror heads running stereo through this cab with my pedal board, and it's awesome. It's definitely loud enough, and has a great tone. Of course you need it for a different setup, so im not positive on how it'll work for your needs. But i hope this helps you with your decision. Good luck to you, and your music.

It does not have effects in/out or an effects loop, but seems to do OK with external pedals. The built in looper is OK, and it has some drum sounds you can use.

I assume the DI will be part of the pedal board chain, and will receive the signal via the other pedals. If so, the pedal is useful if your guitar is not balanced in sound. Trebly bassy etc. it's also useful if your venues change a lot and your fussy with your sound. It's a notch filter and frequency tweeker. I never used mine and sold it.

I use this with my Guitar set ups. Have had a Peavey 120 watt Tube amp and multiple pedals and effects on it and no issues plus clean sound no AC Hum etc. Great Product

That's what it does best, as far as the gain channel goes. The range that it covers without much tweaking is between the Clapton style overdrive and say, Judas Priest style 80's metal. More subtle than that and you'll need a boost in front of the clean channel (which it actually handles well). If you want something more brutal, stick a pedal in front. Just remember that it's a 1x12 combo and not a thiele cab.

It colors the tone when engaged, and also adds a bit of noise. Most compressors do. But adding a clean power supply or a noise suppressor will fix that. If I recall correctly, a low output from the pedal results in low noise.
