I think 0:42 is around as “normal” as this pedal gets 😅 to be honest I’d use it! It sounds like a muff, but it’s middy and not bottom end heavy like one. Should cut nicely through a mix (;

If it sounds nothing like the tones you hear in this video with the Saueeze knob turned all the way up probably your pedal is faulty but I don’t know.. Can you get a replacement?

Nope, in this example I don’t use direct monitoring. It’s monitoring through Logic’s built in Headphone Sends

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. In my experience, trying to talk to the humanoid who spilled drinks on my pedals didn’t work at all,can you believe it? The person still thought she was RIGHT to dance close to the band swinging her cups filled with cheap beer around 😂 it was terrible. I hope you never go through something like that bro (: I’d love bringing my A gear live all the time as well (there’s that you know, in the video I’m just mentioning specific gigs, in places you know things can get messy).

I’m also fond of Boss pedals currently being produced (: about the Flamma FS06 pedal, I’m sorry you had problems.. How was customer support to you? Did they get it fixed or sent you another pedal?

You say shoegaze like it's a bad thing 😁

@@ImYourOverlord Did I? I have 2 multi modulations, 2 delays and 3 reverbs permanently on my main board and a second board with 5 overdrives that I often use all at once, 2 fuzzes, and a Fat Rat. I'll let you guess my feelings about shoegaze.

@@onlyusernameleft2 Ambient is the term I use :) I'm just used to people using "shoegaze" as a derogatory term.

@@onlyusernameleft2 Your boards are similar to mine. I thought I had a personal problem when I put three different reverbs on my modulation & time-based board, right after two different delays 😁 Never mind the four ODs on my utility & dirt board, with one set as a clean boost.

That’s my collection right there (:

Hey! Nice to see people that aren’t necessarily into shoegaze around here. If you’re considering taking an amp live, I’d recommend getting a solid state option, like a JC (: they’re awesome pedal platforms, so you can use ODs to get your drives going, and solid state amps are way lighter than tube amps (also, there’s risk of breaking tubes right..). If you’re going ampless, I’d recommend something like the Boss IR-2 or the Flamma preamp along with an IR box like that sonicake IR. The Two Rock Coral sim in the flamma unit is a REALLY nice preamp for Blues (:

@@manualofalternativemusic Thanks for the reply. As for shoegaze I like Cocteau Twins, often times regarded as a precursor to shoegaze 🤠

Awesome band!! 🤘 their sound is very ethereal and lush

Hope you like it! Awesome fuzz hehe

I’m glad you’re choosing that yourself 😅 I ended up getting to know cheap stuff because of the story I told in this video. Still, you’re right! And honestly, I’ve always been a cheap gear enthusiast type of guy 😂

You got it bro, that sums up how I treat gear nowadays haha! Regretting selling gear is a terrible feeling 😂

It’s a song I’m currently working on with my band (: I’ll comment when it’s released hehe

😌🤘

Glad you enjoyed it bro 😎

Wow man.. I’m sorry for that. I’d feel the same. He must have been devastated.. How’s the man nowadays? Hope he’s feeling better now

@@manualofalternativemusic he eventually got over it. He has managed to live a pretty good life.

That's actually where I was expecting this video to go. Put all your pedals in a hard case and handcuff it to your wrist when you're not playing. :)

Indeed it is my friend (: O.E.M. Manufacturing seems to be very popular in China. They basically print any brand name on this fuzz pedal 😅

Oh and yes, they do have the same circuit.. I might buy another soul fuzz :/ probably I got a lemon. How do you compare it to the sound of your kmise fuzz?

​@manualofalternativemusic I figure that my Kmise sounds a lot more like a Superfuzz Clone Circuit; along with having that copycat Big Muff Midcut option that the Soul Fuzz has. In my review of the AGL-40 you have me turning the fuzz on and off multiple times if you'd like to hear a camera recorded shootout of the thing.. lol.

For me, the Kmise Fuzz was 17 bucks with Amazon Prime so, I got it for super cheap for a super fuzzzz

Glad you like yours bro! I’ll probably get another one 😅 I’m asking for a refund though. Let’s see if trying another one might work

That definitely makes it easier (: boss katana?

No, it’s true bypass so no tails

@@manualofalternativemusic 🥲

Glad you like it (: I’ll release another budget fuzz demo very soon! The irin golden fuzz hehe (or yuer, or kmise.. whatever 😅)

Thanks! I took my fender tele to gigs 🥲 I’m happy nothing bad happened. I take my squier jag nowadays hehe

Exactly! The only ones that care about what gear you use are snob guitar players in the crowd 😅 I mean, it’s not enough to convince me I should bring my studio grade gear live. Most guitar players I met here do just as me, bring budget stuff live

@@manualofalternativemusic It does feel kind of snobby to call the stomp "budget" to me, but my actual pedalboard is worth about 5x as much so 😕definitely easier to McGyver some protective shield for 😛

😂😂 very inspiring riff right? That album as a whole is just underrated

Great hearing from you friend (: unfortunately it took me having my pedals drowned in cheap beer to learn that lol, I’m just glad they all survived back then

Thanks dude 🤘

I love tone wicker muffs! They sound great in a band mix 😅 I understand you’d like to have it in a gig. You can buy another one just to take live if that pedal’s important to you (: so you have a spare big muff. I feel you, when my pedals were drowned in cheap booze I realized I had to replace them, and little by little I started doing that. There are options out there (; if you need help, I’m here. Also, there’s a budget pedalboard video I released recently, probably it’ll help you out bro

Valeu querido! 🫶🫶

😂😂 I try to tell myself the same thing all the time

Indeed! I have never had any pedals stolen, but my band mate had his blues driver and whammy stolen in a gig we played some years ago.. It scared us a lot. Fortunately, the band had money to pay off new pedals for him, and we bought him a whammy and another bd2

Hadn’t heard of that! 😅 that would definitely make me more confident bringing my pedals to gigs

@@manualofalternativemusic have no idea how expensive it is or anything but Andy summers had one and it looked like a friggin tank

😅 I thought the same, unfortunately it might get expensive.. I wonder if someone sells or builds something like that for a decent price

That sounds like what David Gilmour did for the Wall tour; his tech removed the effects from the housings and put them all into one single massive pedal board. At least that’s what I read in a magazine 29 years ago. Turns out that a lot of information from guitar magazines from the past had erroneous information, kinda like the internet

@@honkytonkinson9787 Nobody was getting anywhere near David Gilmour on the Wall tour. There's a literal WALL! :p Seriously, I'm sure he did it for setup convenience, not "Beer-spilling Douche" reasons. :)

That’s quite a collection you’ve got there! (: indeed bro, bringing smaller mini sized pedals require less power than more expensive pedals, and well.. Live, they all sound very similar anyways. While playing, of course we might miss our pedals, but the most important thing is make the crowd happy, and they don’t care about gear as long as it sounds good 😅

Can I use your gig pedalboard? 😅 it’s got everything I need love lol, excellent work choosing your budget pedals!

​@@manualofalternativemusic that was the first pedal board I started with. Two of the pedals I use most often now though are Earthquaker Plumes, and Boss BD-2. They work great together on most guitars and amps. And second-hand, can get them for less than 100. And they're built nice and solid, so I would gig with those. EHX Russian Big Muff reissue my main fuzz, and again, not the crazy expensive type of pedals people are looking to steal either.

I agree with you on that! Most important thing live is band performance, so gear doesn’t matter that much necessarily. Sorry they were rude to you my friend, you’re always welcome here (:

Such an underrated band!🤘🤘

Thanks!! 😊

😅 you got me again, I love their music!

Thanks bro 🤘

Hey there! The good thing about being a Shoegaze fan is that you don’t need to follow any rules (: personally, I don’t really use fx loop myself simply because that’d mean bringing on more cables than I like carrying around 😂 but still, I run my modulations after dirt pedals because they sound more intense and clear that way, and that’s how I like it. In my Ampless pedalboard video I had my multi mod pedal between my preamp and my IR loader - that’d be the same as running it in the fx loop, and it sounds amazing hehe. Test it out yourself and see what you prefer (; there’s no right or wrong and you can absolutely use it for sure! About parallel connections, I like running a stereo reverb to two different distortion pedals and run them left and right in my mixes hehe, sounds great! Hope I helped! Feel free to share your thoughts again (:

Thanks! I got new budget pedalboard videos released recently (: feel free to check them out if you’d like

Exactly! I don’t really understand why these sorts of pedals aren’t being released anymore..

Thanks bro (: I agree with you on that. Nowadays, one can be just fine with budget pedals indeed

Thanks!! I love greet death! Hehe indeed, reminds me of that too, I love finding out artists use something considered “starter’s gear” to create their sound. It’d be funny if that’s the case with them 😅

Glad you enjoyed! That was my reality for years so I get what you’re going through bro. Just keep making music, that’s what matters! Soon I’m releasing a video for an ampless Shoegaze rig on a budget (: a rig that I use myself btw

Assisti o vídeo Douglas! Muito bom! Me deu vontade de pegar um flanger desses hehe. Sinceramente, eu entendo as diferenças que vc comentou, mas acredito que seja pela diferença dos pots e os valores deles sabe (nenhum pedal analógico é igual ao outro e tal, sê tlgd). Comparando o som em um contexto de mix, ou banda, eu não noto diferença hehe

Valeu meu querido! Tmj! 🤘
