This is one of those "sound in your head" pedals that I was chasing after. It has that Vox AC 15 / 30 chime, cut and a harmonic richness that has to be heard. It's so good I'm buying a second one and am itching to try out the rest of the line. Now I understand why they showcased that "Link" switching function in the product demos... I wasn't planning on getting the others, aside from maybe the Copperhead, but I ordered the others today. It's that good.I'm a bedroom player / hobbyist and have been increasingly curious (and occasionally frustrated) by trying to figure out how "that sound" is achieved on an album or live. Of course a lot of it is down to pro mixing, production, quality signal chain / equipment and most importantly, the skill of great players. Still, it irked me that I couldn't get even close to some of those iconic guitar tones, especially certain crunch / distortion ones. I'm amazed at how much of a difference this little red box makes.I've started to tinker around with an interface and a DAW and am just getting into the world of cab sims and impulse responses (IRs). I had no idea that 30-50% of the "sound in my head" came from that end of the equation until recently. As fun as that is, I still want something "plug and play" that sounds great, hence wanting to build a pedalboard and being a bit overwhelmed by the thousands of pedals out there...I've never had a tube amp, so I can't say for certain if that mini-tube makes a huge difference. This does seem to match the technical description of why tube amps sound good, though -- emphasizing certain harmonic overtones over others. It sounds so good that I burned through the included 9V battery in the hour or two of runtime I got out of it right after I popped it in to test. I'm of the opinion that "if it sounds good, it is good" -- if it inspires getting lost in the sound and playing more, then it's worth its weight in gold. (Bonus if it means I buy less pedals in the future and sell off the others I got while searching for sounds like this.)I've been playing it through a digitally modeled practice amp - a Boss JS-10 with a darker neutral-ish clean amp -- think JC-120 or Fender with warm low end -- and it sounds great. The "standard" switch mode is pretty basic and not as clear, chimey, and defined -- probably due to the amp sim I'm using or the signal chain. Perhaps that's for people who want a tube powered stomp distortion / boost with a similar flavour. The "cab" switch mode sounds fine, but seems more like an emergency / fallback option if playing live and something blows up. Cool feature, but to my ears, it's all about the pre-amp mode.Flipping over to the pre-amp mode is like lifting a blanket off the speakers. I can hear all the nuances in my picking attack / muting and less than ideal technique. :) IMHO the pre-amp mode is the main selling point of this series, with the other features being useful bonuses or options. I don't know that I'd even want an AC 15 / 30 now, as this gets me 85 - 95% of the way there (to my ears) with more flexibility in a compact form factor for a fraction of the cost. I don't know how durable it'll be in the long run, but the casing seems solid and the knobs / switches are good. It's likely nowhere near as bombproof as a Boss pedal, but it looks like it'll stand up to a decent amount of abuse.The manual confused me, stating that it a 9V @ 600 mA power supply was recommended. I don't think I saw anything lower listed on the pedal itself either. I thought I needed to buy a special, harder to find power supply from McMaster-Carr or a similar quality supplier? Googled around a bunch and people mentioned a database hosted on the "Stinkfoot.se" website, which has the pedal listed at 95 mA current draw. Seems to run fine off a Boss PSA adapter, so I assume any reasonably decent power supply input will work just fine.

I have the VOX MV50 Clean amp which is really, really clean with a massively high headroom (a 'warmish straight wire with gain' thing) and makes it a perfect pedal amp. I wanted to try an AC30 sound and I was looking at buying the MV50 AC but then I read about this pedal (and its sister pedals the Copperhead Drive, Silk Drive and Cutting Edge). It seems to have been marketed simply as an overdrive/distortion pedal, and it can be used simply as such (as can any pedal with a gain knob!), but it is so, so, so much more. Really it's an amp-(and cab)-in-a-box, specifcally the Mystic Edge is a VOX AC30 in a box, with much, much more tweakability options that if I'd bought the MV50 AC (and possibly much more tweakability than an original AC30!). It partners VERY well with the MV50 Clean, turning it into an AC30 soundy likey with only a reverb pedal also required as the MV50 doesn't have reverb. Like all pedals you need to 'dial in' the settings that work for you, once you're there you have that clear, chimey AC30 sound with a bit breakup (or a lot of breakup if that's what you like) and it sounds really, really good. The build quality is excellent and it feels like it will last for years and years. It should be added that it's not 'just' a pedal to be put in front of an amp. There are 3 mode settings on the back so you can use it as a simple pedal; you can use it as a pre-amp (i.e. bypass the pre-amp on your guitar amp and plug it straight into the power amp stage - if your amp isn't 'clean' then this mode works much better); and you can use it straight into a DAW or into a PA system without going through any amp or speaker cabinet, but because it's got a built-in cab simulator it sounds like you're running a microphoned amp in the DAW/PA (hope that makes sense!). And all that for less money than buying an MV50 AC and a LOT less money than buying a genuine AC30! This is a truly great pedal!

voxアンプと併用で使ってます音も最高

Let me start out by saying I could not be more happy with this pedal if it was given to me for free by Jesus Christ on a Sunday. Period.! The true secret source of this pedal is the bright switch leaving it off. Gives you a good clean time with nothing really sticking out or poking you in the face. But the moment you turn it on you get that stereotypical shimmer jangle chime of a vox the three bandy eq really let you dial in those travels to taste and balanced out the mid and the bottomWith my rudimentary skills, I was easily able to get the correct tone for day tripper, and then minutes later play fat bottomed girls. The only thing wrong with the sound was the player playing in the notes while the frequencies entice me to try harder and harder to get that perfect clarityYou do have to know what you’re buying. This is not a high gain pedal you will not chug. It is not for metal. At least not by itself. When I went for more game distortion by turning the game knob all the way up, I was surprised to find out that it mostly affected the trouble chime and jangle that the vox was known for. It even got to a point that I thought it was going to wake up my roommate, even though the amp was dialed down nice and low because the trouble stuck out that hard.And for anyone that’s just reading this for the responsiveness and dynamics you should know that it is everything you think it will be and probably more. Even with the gang dialed all the way up I was able to get clean tones with gentle touches and rolling back my volume knob And then really. Hammer a high note and make it pierce.I was doing all of this with my fender Mustang GTX, 100 in my opinion and underrated amp, that is not known for its tube like responses

2回買って2回とも使えない。電池入れてもDCケーブルさしてもディスプレイも表示されず、グライコの作用もしない。ギターの信号がただスルーされる感じ。2回とも同じ症状で使えない。逆にどう使ったらいいのだろうか？出荷前に動作確認、検品していないのがわかった。
