great option for silent practice and more

marlasky, 30.05.2021

My first setup for silent home practice, was connecting my pedalboard to a small mixer with instrument level inputs. It was clear something was missing in the sound, so I started looking for a pedal doing amp and cab sim. In the end, the choice was between this pedal and a strymon iridium. To my ears the strymon pedals always seem to sound somewhat too clean, and so I chose this pedal. Apart from the slightly better sound, the ease of selecting amp and cab in the pedal without having option-overload (the built-in IRs are great) was the second feature to convince me. The room knob makes the sound great.
My setup normally consists of a fender deluxe reverb, and a single coil rickenbacker 660/6, and while the sound using the pedal may not be 100% exactly the same, it is way good enough for me to get that amp+cab feeling when playing through headphones.

Ansatz gut – Iridium besser?

Rubato70, 18.04.2021

– – Einsatz – –
Gedacht als Kopfhörer Amp und für die schnelle Aufnahme in den Rechner.

– – Positiv – –
Der ACS1 fühlt sich für mich beim spielen, verglichen mit dem Strymon Iridium, etwas mehr nach Amp an. Wobei auch das ACS1 klar in Richtung aufgenommene und abgemischte Gitarre geht. Einen Ersatz für das Feeling von einem aufgerissenen 100 Watter mit Röhre darf man nicht erwarten.
Die Dual Amp Funktion klingt und funktioniert gut.
Die im Bonedo Test beschriebenen Störgeräusche sind bei meinem Gerät nicht aufgetreten.

– – Negativ – –
Die drei Amps klingen mir nicht flexibel genug. Mehr als clean und softer Blues/Rock ist nicht drin.
Der Raumhall klingt mir zu künstlich. Hier hat das Iridium mit seinem unglaublichen kleinen bis großem Room klar die Nase vorn.
Die Kopfhörer Lautstärke ist leider nicht getrennt vom LineOut einzustellen.

– – Extrem Negativ – –
Ich habe diverse gängige Verzerrer und Fuzzes vor das ACS1 gehängt, um den soften Rocksound zu erweitern. Aber weit bin ich nicht gekommen. Das ACS1 (verglichen mit dem Iridium) nimmt Verzerrer eher schlecht an. Gain stacking vor dem ACS1 hat bei mir nicht funktioniert. Fuzz auch nicht wirklich.

– – Fazit – –
Wer etwas mehr Flexibilität sucht und mit externen Verzerrern arbeitet, ist mit dem Iridium besser bedient. Wer nur einen guten clean/crunch Sound braucht und mit einer Dual Amp Funktion liebäugelt – antesten.
Nur 3 Sterne gibt es weil ich der Meinung bin, dass ein Pedalboard Amp Verzerrer und Fuzz Pedale besser annehmen können muss.

Assez déçu

barbecue, 12.04.2021

J'ai commandé cette pédale en pensant compléter et ajouter une nouvelle couleur à mon home studio, possédant déjà la strymon Iridium.

J'ai été assez déçu du son général obtenu avec cette pédale. Comparé à la strymon, le son manque de clarté et de netteté. Le son est très compressé. Brancher une pédale de distortion fera perdre toute fidélité au son de votre guitare. Les nuances du jeu son perdues.

Il n'est possible d'avoir que très peu de distortion naturelle sur les amplis inclus.

La sortie casque manque clairement de patate et clippe même lorsqu'elle est un peu poussée, une sensation très désagréable

Les idées de mettre un ampli à gauche ou droite son très bonne, mais inutilisable à cause des points précédents.

La réverbe room rend le rendu général encore plus imprécis

La strymon brille d'ingéniosités et d'astuces, rendant son utilisation vraiment utile et versatile. La meilleure définition de cette dernière se ressent fortement

Je rejoins l'avis écris par un allemand sur Thomann, qui indique que l'Iridium est un vrai ampli, avec de vraies sensations analogiques, et l'ACS1 reste une pédale qui imite et simule un ampli.

Pour le prix, le choix est vite fait.

J'ai retourné ma pédale à Thomann, mais peut être que le firmware peut être mis à jour.

Fühlt sich leider nicht nach Gitarrenamp an

Herr B , 09.03.2021

Klingt gut, hat tolle Features, aber:

Im Vergleich mit dem Strymon Iridium fühlt sich der ACS-1 nicht wie ein AMP an sondern wie ein Pedal das AMP-Sounds modelliert.
Nicht so dynamisch! Ab 12 Uhr am Volumenregler fühlt es sich immer mehr wie ein Pedal-Kompressor an und die Spielnuencen gehen verloren.

Der Frontend des Iridium ist da tatsächlich besser, den es ist meines Wissens analog (wie beim Sunset bzw. Riverside) und fühlt sich wie ein echter AMP an.
Manche Zerrer nimmt der ACS-1 nicht gut an (Analogman modded Maxon OD-9 mit BadBob zum beispiel oder Fuzzpedale), andere schon. auch da ist Strymon besser. Das Iridium nimmt alle Pedale, die ich bisher getestet habe, gut an.

Das ACS-1 ist in den Low Mids schlanker was es besser für Ambient-Sounds macht und die Dual-Amp-Möglichkeiten sind super, nur wenn es am Eingang mit der Dynamik nicht stimmt? Schade!

Da ich den Iridium seit 1,5 Jahren sehr gerne spiele, geht der leider wieder zurück!
