My Favorite Ways to Use Polychrome by Walrus Audio
Walrus Audio’s Polychrome is an analog flanger that perfectly straddles the line between feature-rich and accessible. With five knobs and two toggles, Polychrome creates a wide array of sounds including everything from jet-plane flanger tones, chorus-like modulation, and even vibrato when the D-F-V knob is dialed up. Polychrome is perfect for those who want to dip their toes into the world of flanger pedals and those who may think they don't like flanger pedals.

My Favorite Ways to Use Midnight by Native Audio
Просмотров 2027 месяцев назад
Midnight is a phaser pedal I’ve had my eye on for some time now. Phasers hold a really niche use in my playing. Midnight hits the sweet spot by providing enough control to get the sounds I want without being overly complicated. This video, specifically, features a few of my personal favorite settings, and dives into the features that set Midnight apart from other phaser pedals. Specifically, th...
My Favorite Ways to Use Sunflower Deluxe by Flower Pedals

Sunflower offers a myriad of updates, most notably among them is stereo-in and out, five presets, MIDI control, Drift, and Random modes. Sunflower Deluxe has a slight learning curve, but if you take time t...

GFI System's Orca delay vs Walrus Audio's D1 V1

They’re both fantastic delays that are easy to use and cover a wide swath of sounds ranging from pristine digital delay to niche, experimental tones.

Instant Shoegaze with Loomer by Keeley Electronics

    I currently on a Blackhole reverb but definitely want to get a night sky in addition. I just love these types of ambient reverbs. The night sky just has a great layout and accessibility to all the parameters…although the Blackhole does a great job of that, too. I think these two are actually the very best of all the ambient reverbs out there… Personally. I know there are a lot of other great ones, too, but these are more in my personal wheelhouse.

      @@theviolinoob Hi! The sound was dense as cotton-wool; ok, had expected that. First i was very impressed; after a while, turning the knobs, i thought there was something missing. In my ears, it lacks that "chaotic depth", as the name implies. There is too much "Studio" in it, too "HiFi" in a way; I don't visualize a Gargantua-Monster- Black Hole, blackest black you've ever seen, a MINUS in existence...; with an insane spinning accretion-disc... but i hear a blown-up , too clean, let's say Parking-House.... Didn't want to believe my own, critical impression. It's an EVENTIDE, COME ON!! Turning knobs...Q, depth, decay ...no, not quite...man, sound IS dense, but where is the living chaos...?! I compared it to my good ol' Hall of Fame 1, my All-Time- Budget-Hero. HOF 1 has an insane dynamic (w. buffered bypass on), yeah, and there it was: Living Chaos! Reverb swirling and dancin', you could even taste a little morning fog...Of course, HoF is limited with decay and size of reverb, but it was so much more satisfying, it had real life inside, a child jumping into the biggest mud, instead of a Professor sayin': "Look at my HUUUGE...library!" (unfortunately, i had to cut down the Tree of Life for all that books...😪). Absolute possible, that the best possible BLACKHOLE-Sound got just stuck in my amp/effects-loop, hiding the things i miss because of connection- impedances, or so. I know how important this sometimes is. But, yes, i was disappointed after checking 2 days. Also cut off a bit, about 1)4 - 1/3, dynamics... Cheers!

    Thanks for the video. I have both, I first bought the Blackhole as a reverb and the Nightsky to experiment. I think Eventide/Lexicon is the best you can ask for in reverb. On the other hand, Nightsky is very versatile, fun and sure that each musician takes advantage of it in their own way. I use it with a Fender Jazz Bass and a Gibson J 200, it is not "normal" use. I've taken the time to create presets for both and especially the bass. I always use them together. I've spent time looking for combinations and there are some that are great. If I had to choose a reverb it would be the Blackhole, which is not limited, it does its job like the originals and is sufficient.

      Then you’ve not even scratched the surface of the Blackhole. The options, choices, and variations of reverb are freaking endless. It’s an amazing pedal. If by “limited” you mean it doesn’t do standard reverbs, I get that to an extent. But it’s a very deep pedal in its own right & can do a lot more than is advertised.
