That's how I feel. That pedal is a game changer for me.

DI directly in... I am actually ampless, and use Amplitube (or pedals) for amp simulation when recording... when playing live (tiny venues), I feed them into a clean JBL portable stereo PA system For several of the examples, I used Amplitube in Ableton to simulate Marshall or Vox amps

@@theaudioastronaut How did you connect the FX500 in stereo? I want to have the best sound results.

@@serenorocha I use a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 recording interface, which has 6 mono inputs (but I just now got a new 4i4 today! Fewer inputs, but it's a newer generation) Do you want my 6i6? I'll send it to you for free if you DM your address and live in the States. (if you don't, then the first person who says they want it, gets it!)

@@theaudioastronaut thanks! Unfortunately i'm from Portugal!

@@serenorocha I'll be in Lisbon next week 😏

I agree. And I'm actually blown away by how it sounds (I wasn't a fan of their reverb pedal, the Cetus)... I just swapped it onto my board and am recording a new song for my album with it (I'm actually using its Swell mode AFTER Polarbear Drowner shimmer reverb.. doesn't even sound like delay/echo, but gives a massive, more lush feeling as well as subtle undulating, shoegazey modulation)

I always wanted a resonator when I saw them in guitar shop windows... just thought they looked super cool. But once I realized that they also SOUND super cool, I was sold. And the Rogue ones are VERY affordable (Recording King is more moderately priced, but has superior sound quality)

Absolutely. But a fun experiment

(let's be clear, though... only the lyrics are AI. All composition and music is human-made. I tried some AI music generators, such as Cassette AI... really not good.)

@@theaudioastronaut .Good call . I dont like sythesisers and drum machines etc just as bad. Knowing how to work machines over learning how to play instruments.

@@themelted4614 I don't necessarily agree, because it's not always about how "hard" something is to achieve. A chef can create a masterful dish, even if he didn't personally mill the wheat into flour! So for me... it's more about any sense of emotion or human connection that really gets lost with AI. Quite frankly, I feel the same way about some guitar virtuosos who have insane technical skills, but have no sense of melody and evoke no emotion at all with their playing...

@@theaudioastronaut ya cant legislate for taste. I get that on boring guitar solo s. Im reffering to the head banging single beat computer headbanging rave crap. Ya gottabe eed of ya tits to get on it. No soul or skill involved, pure chemicals. Iv got 7 songs up on here purely for fun. Wrote, some covers mostly improvised on the spot. At least it was made by a human not a machine..

When I shared my video of cover songs, somebody said my music reminded them of Spiritualized, which I had never even realized but unconsciously know they have hugely influenced me, because this is one of my favorite songs: ruclips.net/video/iB7E1D_3Na4/видео.html PS. I am currently working on my first dreampop album (original stuff, not covers... also incorporating some shoegaze, slowcore, hauntology and hypnagogic pop) Stay tuned!

Absolutely... I kinda wish I had bought the Danelectro Baby Sitar instead of a real sitar... they were roughly the same price, but I like collecting instruments and wanted to see what the "authentic" one played and sounded like. It's enjoyable (well... not tuning it!), but I would probably play a guitar-styled one a heck of a lot more.

@@theaudioastronaut You are spot on with your comment. Tuning a sitar - the sympathetic strings in particular - is a bit of an ordeal, a most rewarding one nevertheless. But as for the practical point of view: regarding a stage situation with a band I would choose the coral sitar any day.

I'm not sure I have explored that yet, but it can certainly be done! (one issue is my voice is kind of deep/baritone, and the deeper frequencies get a little lost in the Microcosm, in my opinion. But it's worth a try! You might want to get a line-matching impedance XLR-to-1/4" transformer, if you want to plug directly in)

I do this "radio transmission" sound using High-Pass and Low-Pass filters. I do this directly within Adobe Premiere (LPF: 5000 Hz and HPF: 1000 Hz)... but you can also get this effect using these filters (or notch filter) in various pedals, or plugins for DAW (I like to use RC-20 Retro Color or Thenatan Vybz for lofi effects, including this type of filtering)

Thank you @@theaudioastronaut

I may also agree with you......but one can also leave the clip without writing this comment.

Different strokes for different folks. Unfortunately, he chose negativity, but I have to say that for the most part, the music community (guitar players, guitar pedal/effects aficionados, etc) has been far less toxic and negative than most communities, so it's kind of surprising when comments like this show up. But I take it for what it is: an opinion. Everybody's entitled to one. FWIW, the creator of the Infinite Birdwhistle plugin contained in this video loved my Kate Bush cover. Another viewer told me they liked my REM cover (in a different video) even more than the original, and another said my music reminded them of Spiritualized (which was a great honor to hear that.) I've also had multiple new subscribers just in the time since he posted this comment, and some of my videos have thousands of views and many likes... so overall the positivity definitely offsets the negativity. But he's right that this video is not the place to find what he is looking for. For one thing, this isn't a "music video" ... it's an educational demo video to show what the sounds of different effects tools sound like, so he's right that if he's looking for "music" this isn't exactly the video for that. It's also focused on ambient effects/instruments -- ie. mood and atmosphere... ambient/cinematic stuff, not the "dad rock / blues lawyer" music he seems to be into (in fact, my channel will definitely not be the place for that, although I do have a variety of tastes including bluegrass and surf rock. My next video will feature Delta blues with dobro/resonator guitars and harmonicas. But overall that is not the kind of music I do.) In my personal opinion, music doesn't get much worse than this: ruclips.net/video/j4H4Z8EBMlo/видео.html (doesn't mean the musicians are bad, and I'm open-minded to a variety of musical genres, but easy-listening jazz / elevator music is possibly the worst ever, in my book. So I am absolutely not surprised -- nor even offended -- that somebody who thinks that is the definition of "music" doesn't like my channel. I'm just confused as to how this video is being recommended to those of you who are "traditionalists" and into that kind of music. BTW, this guitar pedal is also not a good choice for jazz, blues, R&B, etc... ) Anyway, thanks for trying to encourage positivity... I think most musicians appreciate what other musicians do, even if we don't always dig the sounds being made. (As for the space theme... some people enjoy it, some people don't... but at least it's different than the loads of videos that already exist, and it's fun for me to do.)

i want your wife !

Yeah, there's no way I would ever be paying those prices for any guitar (and if I do decide to pony up more $$, it would probably be for a higher-end acoustic, where it seems you do get what you pay for) I just saw a telecaster shootout by Rhett Shull, and the $5000 custom shop one didn't sound any better than the Squier Classic Vibe that was under $500

This one took a lot of work! But I would probably make these even if I had no subscribers, because it forces me to learn, explore, expand my abilities, and play with all my toys. Besides... it's lonely out in space.

I actually like the chorus sounds on the Coolmusic MORE than the Walrus (I like everything else about the M1, but disappointed by its chorus)... I kept the Coolmusic on my board especially for its Detuned chorus and ringmod modes (and then I put M1 later in the chain for tremolo, harmonic tremolo, or lofi modes)

I know the filtering can get jarring after a while... initially I was trying to use as minimal talking as possible, but the videos morphed to be a bit teaching/explanatory (I do switch to normal voice for vocals, though)

High praise indeed! I love Spiritualized (my wife and I bonded over Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space), and would definitely consider that genre or type of sound an influence!

The telecaster is tuned to FACGCE, and then they are simple 2-finger chords as shown at the 11:07 mark. I learned them from Trevor Wong... check out his video! ruclips.net/video/CV-lrw6uNXA/видео.html

I haven't tried the Parallax, but I have been very underwhelmed by the sounds of other Keeley soft focus pedals (Loomer and Realizer)

Get a Roland Super Chorus (or the Warm Audio CE-1 clone for the more vintage analog version), and run a good reverb + delay into it. Roll your own version! Honestly I love the FX500 chorus, which is the soul of this sound, so I recommend the real thing if you don’t mind having to send signal to it from a switcher (it doesn’t have FX on/off unless you can find their matching control pedal).
