Amazing playing Darrell, made the guitar + effects sound that much more awesome! Love the vids keep up the great work.

What fun! And I always enjoy your very musical playing as well, DB.

Looks pretty epic. I always love watching which direction music instruments take. And the sounds coming out of that acoustic are pretty incredible.

I have a Lad Tramontane acoustic which is an older model and the quality is amazing, any Lag I've played has had tremendous build quality, brilliant sound and looks stunning. The Hyvibe looks amazing in my opinion and sounds pretty good too

Love the new studio layout and the new info and production !!!

Good to see innovations like these. And that outro was awesome man!

Subway performers are getting a serious upgrade!

Waited for almost 2 months as it was BO’d, but finally got mine the middle of February. I haven’t even dug into all of its capabilities but absolutely love it so far! Even just as an acoustic guitar all by itself it is absolutely beautiful sounding and plays so nice.

Can you mix two effects e.g. reverb and chorus?

@adamlemons7909

3 жыл бұрын

@@wjb270 Yes! You can actually mix as many different affects as you want creating your own specific custom “peddles” and then name and save them. You can create as many custom “peddles” as you would like but you can only store six or eight on the guitar itself at one time, but if you have more and need to use them it is as simple as clicking a button on your iPad or iPhone :-) Currently I have 4 different custom “petals” set up using multiple effects. One of my favorite has a little bit of reverb, chorus, trim and echo and sounds so sweet for some of my finger-picking songs :-)

Darrell’s channel is the Smart Guitar Channel. He ups the KZread guitar channels community with every video. They just keep getting better. 👍🏻👍🏻

Great video! Glad to see you so excited!

Update: I've had this guitar over a year now. I also have a Taylor 814CE and if I was forced to keep just one I would definitely choose the Hyvibe, it plays as well as the Taylor but offers so much more. I made a comment about performing with it and have since done so with a Bose S1 battery PA and this guitar. You can program this guitar for any song you play/sing and the effects are incredible with zero pedals. Even with pedals and my 814CE the Hyvibe just sounds better. The internal electronics transfer feeling through the top of the guitar and brings palm muting and slight thumps from your palm to a whole new level. I have a Taylor 12 string, Little Martin and a PRS with piezo, they all just hang on the wall now collecting dust. Hands down this is the best live performance acoustic for what I do. BTW, one drawback is the tuner doesn't work when the 1/4" out is plugged in, I have to use a clip on. I'm sure this could be fixed with an update but it isn't a game breaker. The tuner comes up but does not detect chords accurately while using the out.

I like the looper feature best as well. Always thought we should find more convenient ways to integrate them into our setups.

I just recently got the #30 model. So far, i like it even better than my Takamine that i couldn't put down! The guitar itself has a great sound, and feels great playing. My battery was dead when the guitar arrived, so it took a week to troubleshoot and get a new battery sent. (Originally they wanted to swap out the guitar, but I'm glad they sent a battery instead.) They were VERY responsive! Only now am i getting started using the electronics. When i first tried them out, I thought the effects were cool, but wasn't sure how much i would use them... Then i saw 2 videos: the first one was on the EQ and how that can be used with any/all effects, how versatile it is. The 2nd video was on the looper and how versatile that is. Now, i can't imagine NOT using them! Gotta say, i like everything about it. Money well spent. Now i just need an Aeros Gold Loop Studio and maybe a MIDI drum pad thingy, and I'm good.

Came here for beards and the funny way Canadians say “out”. Imagine my surprise to find robot 🤖 guitars.

With every new technology, one should ask “this is a replacement for what?” In this case, the answers seem to be 1) pedals 2) and/or a modeling amp with effects. Any more? I guess the mobility/portability here is the big benefit.

This guitar has something of a marketing problem. It's interesting and novel, but the effects quality isn't there and neither is the volume. You can't perform with it and you can't record with it. You could get a battery-powered Roland acoustic amp and even a bargain laminate-top acoustic-electric guitar and you'll sound better because the amp is just so much better at what it does than the guitar's own soundboard. But this guitar that has no professional application costs a thousand bucks. It's the perfect campfire guitar, where nobody cares about the finer points of quality and all that matters is that it's just plain fun. What do you think is a good price for a guitar that is best suited for that situation? A grand? Or maybe four hundred, if you're feeling spendy?

there are already chinese cheap guiter with this pickup system, the problem is the volume as you said it cannot even be used as a street artist sound box, you can also just order the pickup on alibaba and DYIl

@@JonNewquist I agree. $500 at most. I love the concept and from what I can tell, I like the guitar, just not the price. It just wouldn't be on my radar at all unless it was half the price. I would like to see it's innards...lol.

True, this is a campfire guitar at best and I would have ethical problems to pay more than $500 for one. Put a pickup + effects system like this (but of a better quality, this one produces way too glassy sounds) + a good sized battery (to last at least two drunken nights) onto an Orangewood Oliver Jr., sell it for $350-$400 and you'll have a killer campfire guitar. I'd buy two in a heartbeat :D

I don’t need another guitar but after watching your video I just had to have one. Ordered today for delivery middle of next week, can’t wait. Thanks Darrell.

Very cool stuff!!
