When Baggs session DI came out. Lloyd said the session DI idea came from theIr YouTube videos production. The mixing engineer added distortion and multiband EQ and the tone was open up, more warmth more dimensional, richer... (See video) My reaction watching this was: So all the previous videos were a « lie »??!!?? Honestly the Lyric videos sounded bigger than the real thing. I am not trash talking about L.R. Baggs. Probably all manufacturer do the same and I still think the Anthem is one of the best pickup around, but I don’t trust Baggs YouTube videos since. Nota Bene: Baggs has one of the best Customer support in the world. They sent me tape for a second hand product all the way to France!!!

Haha I am not buying one until I see your video. Have you received any word about getting a unit before they officially hit stores?

I just noticed some thing else peculiar about this IR pedal (perhaps all of them?) in a pedal chain.
I have a Harmony GXT after the Optima Air and have been hearing a lot of subtle or wobbly off-key vocal harmonies (that I’ve otherwise never had issues with for the past 9 years or so with this pedal.) I’m wondering if and/or how much an IR pedal can affect the guitar signal being sent to any of the commonly used vocal harmony pedals? Or even POG/ Sub n’ Up type octave pedals? I think it might be significant. Anyone experience something similar with their IR pedal chains? Perhaps this is worth testing with harmony, etc pedals that use guitar signals to generate a musical key? Or maybe the IR pedal should always be at the END of the signal chain...? That would solve the awkward XLR output placement on the left side of the pedal. Hmm. But this defeats its purpose of being a DI, no? Especially for passive pickups. An enigma wrapped in a riddle.

Indeed it does. I was running GTR - Radial DI - Sub n Up - Harmony GXT - QSC Touchmix 8 and swapped the Optima Air for the Radial DI. I like to add/control the overall reverb for the master mix via the Touchmix exclusively, so I keep the Optima reverb at zero. I may need to put it at the end of the signal chain and try it out. Either that, or I forgot how to sing. It's possible

I was using a JJB 330, so it might be a simple matter of incorrect gain staging across the various inputs/outputs and level adjustments....

Martin Taylor recordings are perhaps the best example of that magnetic/mic blend that I love. |

I know this is the Nux thread but for those interested, Lloyd just did a new interview for the virtual guitar show and around 45 minutes in, he talks about the voiceprint. I like how he discusses the fact that most IR’s capture the room and they worked on eliminating that. Oddly enough though, he wasn’t sure how the app would be delivered and this is a month before it’s supposed to be released.
