That's fair. I didn't mean to break any rules or anything, but like someone else said, the Apex sounds broken next to a Ceres, run in the same way. Many of us had high hopes for it, and many big channels have used them in ways that don't line up with the marketing that pretty much sell it as being one of the only things you need to get a GREAT tone.

Everything is set up correctly, and I dial it in throughout the video. Definitely don't think mine is any more defective that the others they sent out..you can get something close to usable out of it with work and a good power amp or clean channel. But yeah, overhyped isn't a bad description of it.Why does the Apex sound "broken"? e.g. I could demo all my bluesbreaker pedals against each other, but none would sound "broken" in comparison.
I think all the horizon stuff is overhyped stuff that was already available on the market, or is just something that already existed and lets slap a noise gate on it. That's just me. But I've never heard their stuff sound bad or broken. I'm thinking you have a defective pedal based on the tones in your video or you don't have it dialed in correctly, mate.
But I feel that it is good to interact with people and actually get back to them with a video when people have questions. Have you ever done response to viewers style videos?
Hi Guys, I did another video. One that actually got requested in the comments on a previous video which is a first for me
Also I spent a bunch of time going over the drum mixing and looking up old resources that I had previously used, but just to refresh and get another perspective. Think it turned out pretty well on this one:
Totally. Its a win win situation. Being a total gear dork i do love engaging with commentors when its more than just "good vid" type of comment (not that im complaining about those)Yes exactly. This is kind of also the first time that I have actually been in a position where I could answer a comment with a video, but it feels good, and hopefully it helps build followers. It is only recently that I started getting pretty much at least one comment per video. I also got another one on how to practice a certain technique I showed for playing tremolo picking. The question was if I had any actual exercises, which I didn't, other than learning songs, but I think I have come up with something that I can put into a lesson style video.
It is also cool that you then don't have to come up with all the video ideas - viewers to a degree do it for you
Hell, me too. Please Know that I really wanted to like it though. It just sounds bad DIRECT compared to the competition...to my ears.
Theres lots of little people doing cool things that the rest of the world would probably be into but will never come across it. Nice to give everyone a little boost, ya know.
Anyone else getting upset over the new IG algorithms? I used to post a guitar and get 100 likes, now I get 9 lol. Can I get some free love?
If I get over 20 likes it's a miracle lol. Not enough cat stuff for the crazy cat ladies and not enough guitar porn for the guitar nerds
