2 Notes Opus

One of my favorites uses the Aviator preamp at low gain, no power amp, and the Don Bronco Evo 115 Neo cab.
It's just a good solid tone for almost any genre of music.
I bet either would.
Ideally, I wish I could load ir's into Opus and tweak them with the time preamps. I'm not sure if that is possible though
Just received an OPUS yesterday. I'll be checking it out after work today
OPUS is definitely compatible with Static IR files - in Remote, switch it to IR loader mode! If you need any support with this, let me know!
Excuse my ignorance, I wasn't aware this was possible. So I can load an amp IR, use the TSM preamp to stack on it, and use the built in dynIR cabs at the same time?
No, it's a straight choice between DynIR or static IR; you cannot mix and match.
You certainly can - there are actually 3-modes in the EQ: Guitar, Bass, Custom - I tend to go for the Custom option as this lets you get a bit more surgical with your tone shaping! If you have any other questions, let me know!
I use the custom EQ almost all the time - love the HPF & LPF & the parametrics!
Do experience any "funny" latency/phase issues, mixing both, the OPUS being digital and taking a few milliseconds to process the signal (ADDA conversion) vs the Revolt's analog signal?
This was an issue back when I was using the CabM+.
Thanks for getting back to me. No I havent experienced these issues if I set OPUS at the low latency mode - if I have experienced any phasing, I simply run a Preamp post OPUS using the dual output routing mode in the cog menu via the 1/4-inch output - but I havent had to do this with ReVolt.
@Ross Davies I have a question regarding using the Opus. I'm setting up my pedals and trying to figure the order. Is there a way to bypass the Opus easily? Right now I have Dirt> comp > Capo > (LINE IN) Opus > Eventide H90 > Amp. I created a custom preset (Bypass) with everything turned off and level set at 0db (which should be unity?) Basically I either want it bypassed or active. I'm not sure if I am integrating the Opus in the best way possible. Apologies, this is my first pedalboard I'm trying to set up and first experience with a IR/modeler pedals.
If anyone has any advice, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance.
Signal chain is Tuner > Page Boost > Capo > ( Capo pre loop send - Doom 2 > Proton > MBD3 > Capo preloop return) > (Capo post loop send > Comp > Capo post Loop return ) > Capo out to Opus (Line in) > H90 > Amp.

Not familiar with the H90, but if it has an effects send, could the Opus go in there?
I put my Opus in effects send so I can use it when I want to and if I have something different I want to do without it I can disable it.
Yes the H90 has a effect send. Would mean menu diving as well. Doing that might be cleaner though. When I have the OPUS on my Bypass (everything off) setting and max volume, the output says its clipping so I turn it down, but i lose a lot of volume. If take the opus out, i get a lot more volume. If I change to a preset, i have to remember to turn the volume down because it becomes much louder.
I am wondering how does it fly with the band sound and the sound guy when you are changing IR/DynIR during a set even within a song.
Thanks for getting in touch. The system you currently have (i.e. not in the H90 FX loop) can certainly work and a bypassed preset is a good pracical option here. In terms of clipping, can you specify what output of what device please? Thanks!
That’s going to be a hell of a board. Got some great pedals in there.
I’ve only used the Opus as an end of chain because I’m running ampless and I’ve been thinking of all the sweet presets I could be using to change my tone up using a more robust midi setup.
Right now the revolt controls 4 presets on the opus via midi. Clean, dirt, drive and bypass ( not bypass in the opus, only on the revolt, however bypas on the revolt is a 4th preset on the opus)
If you set all the presets to the same audible level, only the tone should change.
It might be different if you are using REALLY high gain settings (mostly guitarists, I would think), due to the higher background noise levels.
I don't use anything that noisy and therefore don't use the Noise Gate.
