Korg PX4D Pandora Personal Multi Effects Processor Review

Korg PX4D Pandora Personal Multi Effects Processor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

The Korg PX4D is a great little multi-effects processor for any guitarist or bass player! I bought mine to use when travelling mated to my Lapstick guitar. I spend hours on this thing and never tire of finding new ways to use it and new sounds for inspiration. It has a tuner, amp modeling, 100 user and 100 preset effects...and tons of great features I haven't even discovered yet.
I'd recommend this device for any guitarist...for practice or performance use. It's like a whole truck load of effects and amps/cabinets in a box the size of a pack of cigarettes.
Amazon's price is the best on the net!

Since its introduction, the Pandora series has been acclaimed by guitarists and bassists for its high-quality sound, versatile functionality, and superb user interface in an amazing pocket-sized package. Combining both guitar and bass effects into a single unit, the PX4D delivers a major leap in functionality as well. Its comprehensive range of sounds includes vintage amps and a wide range of cabinets, as well as effects ranging from classic to distinctively unique.The PX4D is a great choice not only for practicing, but for any situation that demands great guitar or bass sound, including recording and live performance.The PX4D contains 158 effects that deliver vintage amp sounds and much more. From high-end tube amps to rare vintage amps and classic favorites, the 25 amp types faithfully model the amp sounds that guitarists and bassists seek. Each of the 23 cabinet effects that reproduce the acoustic and structural resonances of a speaker cabinet were newly created especially for the PX4D.The creative possibilities are limitless – you can even combine a guitar amp with a bass cabinet.In addition to standards such as compressor and wah, there are numerous realistic modeling effects that deliver a versatile range of tones. Pickup modeling transforms the sound of a single-coil pickup into that of a humbucking pickup (or vice versa), a guitar (bass) synth that lets you play synth sounds, an intelligent pitch shifter that automatically harmonizes with your playing, a talk effect that produces the impression that your guitar is speaking, a slow attack effect that creates violin-type swells, a feedback effect that allows feedback playing techniques that are normally possible only at high volumes, a rotary speaker that changes speed in response to your picking or fingering dynamics, a fretless bass effect that simulates the distinctive sound of a fretless bass, and many more are ready for your use.

Heavy Brass Practice Mute for Cello Review

Heavy Brass Practice Mute for Cello

I had this type of mute (threw it away). It kept falling off the bridge due to the bridge's vibrations. Each time it fell off, it left a nasty dent in the top plate varnish of my instrument. I thought I wasn't putting it on tightly enough. Finally figured out what was going on. I bought a leather mute. A rubber mute would be better too. The metal mute is fine if you play a violin and hold the violin up all the time. Otherwise, like if you play cello, do not get this mute.

Glaesel GL-3812 3 Prong Violin Mute, Ebony Review

The Glaesel Ebony mute is pretty simply to install, but in time it will slip off little by little.. As for it's job, it does actually mute with a more bassy sound. The downside is that it will "hide" your mistakes made without the mute and the Ebony will stain the bridge black after a week or 2 of use. If you want to preserve your bridge then I suggest trying a different product.

Heavy Rubber Practice Mute for Viola Review

A little small for my bridge (I play a 16.5 inch viola), but it fit my brother's 16 without a problem. After a little stretching, it fits a little better. I may cut a bit out of the side so it actually sits on the bridge. But the muting is great, and even with a tight fit, it doesn't seem to harm my bridge at all.

Heavy Brass Practice Mute for Violin and Small Viola Review

I tried few different mutes. This one provides maximum muting effect making playing barely audible. Perfect for playing without disturbing others. This being said there are 2 problems. The mute has its bridge grooves cut too tightly, and does not fit well on 2 of the bridges I tried it on - one being a cheap no-name, the other being Aubert Lux model. The mute goes only a few millimeters down and although works well, the fit is insecure and the weight shift may potentially damage bridge edges. I believe the mute could be improved by cutting the groves wider. The other problem is that the mute kills 99% of tonal color, so it's use is limited to practicing finger positions but not the actual clarity of played music. Since there are few manufacturers of this mute type, perhaps I need to try to obtain another one from a different vendor...
