Better Direct Sounds: UA OX, Two Notes Torpedo Studio & New Headphones - That Pedal Show

Published on Jul 20, 2018

This is NOT Ox vs Torpedo Studio. We don't know either device well enough to do that. Nope – it's a follow up to a show we made earlier this year when we were ‘forced’ to play silently. We didn’t really like it.
This show is the follow up, having a acquired some other stuff and done some things to improve the experience. Good news: Dan is much happier!

What about all the stuff you can’t see during this video: what is Mick doing?
Yes, we should have had a camera on the iPad and Mac. Here are the things we’re talking about…
• Universal Apollo 8P (the interface we use all the time):
• Universal Audio Ocean Way Studios reverb:
