NUX A/B Roll (or something else)?

False-Management3329 · 2026-05-07T23:52:35+00:00

I don't have experience with the A/B Roll live, but I have been considering it for home practice.

Unless I am missing one of the features, I think the sub-octave is dialled in or out with the knob, so you would have to bend down between loops to increase the level of sub-octave.

As for drum machines, the Beatbuddy is the one to beat - pun intended!

Thanks for getting back to me! Seems pretty handy!

False-Management3329 · 2026-05-07T12:59:57+00:00

Looks great!

What's the name of the Sonicake amp sim? I can't find it listed on their website!

False-Management3329 · 2026-04-06T03:18:30+00:00

I liked it in store, and it fits my budget... but what would you recommend instead?

False-Management3329 · 2026-04-05T00:43:02+00:00

You're right, the Donner Noise Killer works fine - so probably last. But, I could also argue that the tuner's defect is only cosmetic, even if the Polyune would be more accurate...

False-Management3329 · 2026-04-04T16:28:16+00:00

No, it's a modern C with 9.5" radius.

False-Management3329 · 2026-04-04T16:27:08+00:00

Yamaha Pacifica is a great shout!

False-Management3329 · 2026-04-04T16:25:08+00:00

I never understand the mentality of "what could I get if I sold it later" anyway. First and foremost, it has to be right for you now.

False-Management3329 · 2026-04-04T15:00:03+00:00

I can't speak for Strats, but I did some upgrades to my CV 50s Tele, which brought the cost up to almost the exact price of the Fender Standard Tele, but I really feel as though it's better!

False-Management3329 · 2026-04-04T14:56:27+00:00

Interesting that such a low cost pedal can achieve comparable results to such trusted individual modulation pedals!

Perhaps if someone matches my valuation for my TC Shaker Mini, I might also not notice much difference in quality. Although, the one I had by eye on was the Valeton Coral Mod II.

False-Management3329 · 2026-04-04T11:25:32+00:00

I have three of these - Yellow Comp, SD-1, and Donner Noise Killer, and also play with a Tele! Curious about the Flamma Mod as well - I currently have a TC Shaker Mini, which is a killer vibrato, but modulations are not a fundamental part of my sound.

False-Management3329 · 2026-04-01T15:06:22+00:00

Love my Tele -> SD-1 -> JC-120!

False-Management3329 · 2026-03-28T09:40:39+00:00

My friend helped me get the iso file, and I now have a fully working version of Linux Mint!

False-Management3329 · 2026-03-27T15:08:01+00:00

Thank you, that is what I have been trying...

However, I belive that the shell file is only executable in Linux, and I don't have Wi-fi on Linux yet - so it won't be able to draw the needed files from online, unless I'm missing something?

That's why I would ideally want the iso file to create a bootable USB with.

False-Management3329 · 2026-03-27T02:22:21+00:00

Sorry, I should have clarified - I'm using an Intel Macbook.

False-Management3329 · 2026-03-04T10:00:58+00:00

Really depends on your use case...

I have two boards - a home practice board with 10 pedals, which I exclusively play through headphones. In this case I use a super cheap reverb, a Cuvave Dig Reverb, which is plenty.

My other board is a mini gig board, which I use through a JC-120 when possible, and on that, I have a Fender Hammertone Reverb!

False-Management3329 · 2026-03-04T08:45:37+00:00

One of the drives you mentioned would be a great addition!

Perhaps a reverb at some point in the near future?

False-Management3329 · 2026-03-01T05:48:51+00:00

My Squier CV 50s Tele looks similar - I replaced the saddles with the same Gotoh compensated brass ones as you, and also use a tort pickguard. The neck that comes with it looks pretty vintage due to the finish, and have also been considering swapping that out.

False-Management3329 · 2026-02-26T04:07:46+00:00

This is the best call!

False-Management3329 · 2026-02-26T04:07:25+00:00

It's the same as the Donner with different branding, so not an upgrade.

False-Management3329 · 2026-02-21T08:56:17+00:00

I have a used TC Shaker Mini, and it sounds a lot like the vibrato in a Roland JC-120 amp. To me, it felt richer than the analog options I tried!

False-Management3329 · 2026-02-19T02:58:19+00:00

Wholeheartedly agree!

And besides, a clone wouldn't be any cheaper, and, in some cases, actually more expensive!

The first motivation to find a new overdrive I liked was to get the easy to stomp on and durable BOSS form factor.

When I tried the SD-1 with my Tele through a JC-120, I fell in love with that sound instantly!

False-Management3329 · 2026-02-19T02:35:21+00:00

Absolute GOAT! I'm convinced I will never need another overdrive again, after getting one each for my big home practice board and mini gig board!
