My man.

Lol. Hope things are well with you, Spidey

It indeed does sound great when plugged direct in the mixer

I'd like to know if the YYZ output is balanced or not (because I want to know if is it possibile to connect it directly to a mixer via Jack-XLR cable)

I'm very confused because in the manual I read this:

TO RECORD DIRECT
You can plug directly into the input of a mixer/recorder and use the on-board
sounds of SansAmp YYZ. Bear in mind full-range systems yield a wide frequency response. Therefore, we suggest you start with the EQ levels of SansAmp
YYZ at 12 o’clock and increase/decrease to taste


1/4” UNIVERSAL OUTPUT: Unbalanced low Z output. SansAmp’s
technologically advanced, single Universal Output is physically compatible for
any application: full range (tape, studio monitors, P.A., stereo) and limited
range (rack systems, pre-amps, head and cabinet, combos, practice amps).

It seems it is possible to connect the pedal directly to a mixer but the output is unbalanced!?

 

[BassikLee]

Yes, unbalanced. That, and you can run unbalanced into many mixers.

Can anyone tell me if the YYZ has a cab sim or something resembling one? Thanks

Belated reply, but the manual says it does.

Very specific question from me. I just got the YYZ and I have a Darkglass Microtubes 500 head. The drive to me sounds just like the Microtubes drive and I’m wondering whether the YYZ is just pushing my amp quite hard. The reason for asking is I’m not particularly enamoured with the amp or the Darkglass tone, so I’m trying to work out without owning another amp which one is causing it to sound like this.

Run your pedal into the effects return and you should be bypassing the amps preamp section and just hearing the pedal, that should answer some questions for you.

True, thanks! I think I'm set on selling the amp now anyway. I've been tone-chasing through pedals, but I may as well just buy the thing I wanted in the first place - Mesa amp.
