I have sever PTSD. This video helped me find this pedal, which combined with my 9-string (clean otherwise, usually) does more to calm me down than any drug ever has. Thank you.
It's possible. I find my tuner is even better than my pickups at picking up local radio stations, and sometimes I'll run it through some reverb and overdrive for shitsngigs
YOU are the Only guy demoing fx on the WHOLE internet, that has a clue.....! seems like NO ONE else understands what pedals are supposed to do, except You..... everyone else wants to showcase their guitar playing.... You, on the other hand, Actually showcase the pedal..... Brilliant.....!

10/10 Would buy the audio from this video in vinyl format to listen to forever until I slowly decay and have the matter from my collection of atoms be redistributed into the eternal void in the form of nothing but sonic waves and ultimately, farts.
2 years after watching this vid for the first time, I finally caved and bought it. Knobs is an expensive therapy channel than has a side effect of giving you more pedals
I’ve had this pedal for a year and just realized the craziness you get with this pedal when using expression input. It’s like adding a game genie to your pedal to unlock all of its features.
I bought this pedal more than 3 years a go because of this video and I just want to say it's such a solid, solid piece of hardware, it sounds incredibly clean and can get so tastefully ambient, I recommend it a lot.
I've gone through some insomnia fits lately. This video of my favorite pedal has put me to sleep several nights in a row. Thank you, even if you didn't intend it.
Look at Knobs vid - Mind enters hypnotic state - Wake up with a new pedal on my pedalboard. And I know I'll be unable to prevent myself from watching the next. Your channel runs in loop in my ears when I'm working.
just wanna say that this is one of the greatest pedal demonstrations i've ever watched. the melodies and usage of the different functions here is incredible, if i had the money right now i'd have just bought it based off this video alone
I sat through your whole video. Amazing, Thank you for letting the pedal do the talking. And thanks for adding the little bubbles that help me understand how to use this.
Wow, instant sub. I spent all last night watching demo's for all sorts of combined reverb/delay pedals looking for this kind of ambience and this morning you hit the nail on the head. Not only was it relaxing and beautiful... showed the capability of the pedal instead of trying to show of your guitar skills with the reverb and delay turned up as fast as possible like most people do for some reason only. Thank you!
Just bought one of these thanks to your channel. One of the most inspiring pieces of gear I've ever purchased. Your demos are incredible, thanks so much for the detail and work you put into them.
Just got this for my bass mini-board (along with old blood haunt and walrus voyager), my god this is so many sounds in one pedal. I had a lot of delay/reverb and this one is pretty unique. The demo is stellar too
Great job reviewing a great device (and yeah...I just plunked down $300 for one!)...you have a wonderful style and wit, and I appreciate that you put all the [informative!] jabber in on-screen text instead of speaking it! :)
Brilliant Demo.....Very Musical......Im a huge EQ fan.....I was already planning to buy this pedal and have been listening to every demo I could find. You nailed the true essence of what this amazing box can do!!!
I just found out about your channel. Literally the best pedal channel I've ever heard. Not some dude playing pentatonic riffs I've heard a thousand times, showing no creativity with a pedal. No talking, no bs, some witty humor, and a true example of what these more creative pedals can really do. And even though my bank account is soon going to hate you, I love you. Thanks, Knobs. Edit: How do you get these ambient sounds that just keep repeating? Are you using a looper or is it all just this one pedal?
I think in this particular vid it's just the one pedal.. I've got one, and it's great for layering with lots of repeats, and the verb smears it all out nicely... It's not easy to make it sound as nice as Knobs does, but that's why Knobs does what Knobs does.
Wait, hang on: of course the input is just a looped signal, in order to have hands free to turn knobs and all.. Is that what you meant? The floaty pads and fluffy layers are all Avalanche Run though..
@@WillemZenhorst what signal is actually going through the input? Is it a guitar? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just really love this sound and want to replicate it. So is it a guitar or a keyboard or...??
@@tom.s9455 I'm pretty sure most of this is just a clean guitar, looped, then going into Avalanche Run. With high repeats, the time long, lots of reverb and then just sparingly adding notes is really nice, and actually pretty easy to get that floaty atmosphere. If you like these sounds, just get one, you won't regret it!
Beautiful as usual, you always manage to impress. Man I really love this pedal, I'm quite fond of reverb/delay. I have a Eventide H9 and I still want to get my hands on this thing.
Such an excellent demo. All ambient atmospheres lovers should hear that. Guitarists and synth players. It is worth any blabla with so called demo expert.
Although this is an ambient monster, it's also very practical for an acoustic pedalboard. Compact, great tone, delay, verb. Pair with a tuner and D.I. End of story
You'd be surprised how many combined reverb/delay pedals I've heard demo'd really badly... they play whole chords and jack up the delay/spring reverb as fast as possible... this is the first one to play with ambience which is what most ppl want them for
It's great for pads to play over. The biggest concerns I've had with it: it's "mix" control can never dial in a point that actually make the reverb and guitar sound as one. you always hear your guitar parallel with your reverb. And it doesn't require a discerning ear. It has tons of beautiful sounds, but it's appropriately named. They're all dark and chaotic. I personally expected to be able to dial in some settings that weren't so foreboding. Neither of these are hits on the pedal or its creation, I just wanted to point this out to other people who might being expecting it to work as I did. I honestly wouldn't call it a reverb even. I would venture to call it... a parallel harmonic pad generator. :D
In my wettest summer dreams, Earthquaker pedals are affordable and I own all of them. Some of them seem to have no use but dreamful wibbly wobbly timey wimey fuckery, still, gorgeous.
I'm liking the many different controls one has over delay and reverb. I rarely if ever, use one without the other so it's nice to have a pedal that combines the two. I don't think I've heard any other pedal that tops this one so far.

I really hope you're okay
That's what music is for - may it bring you many more days of peace.
Ambient tones save life’s man, so happy to hear you found some relief ❤️
I'm really happy to hear that :)
Power to ya!
this RUclips channel is catastrophic for my bank balance.
Agreed.
Oh dear I so concur.
TheEveningEconomies lol.....everyone has a vice
TheEveningEconomies I was just thinking about that myself!
TheEveningEconomies It's not even funny.
my kid probably wont go to college anyway.
Pure humour, right there. I genuinely laughed out loud. For a considerable amount of time. Thank you for that.
hilarious. i loled.
Just make a list of successful college dropouts & hand it to him. He'll figure it out.
Absolutely the best comment on gear related videos. 👏🏻
Just spit a bunch of coffee all over my screen.
I wouldn't be surprised if you make a video of a tuner pedal and start making ambient sounds with it...
Pedro Venegas-rodríguez kinda want this to happen honestly
It's possible. I find my tuner is even better than my pickups at picking up local radio stations, and sometimes I'll run it through some reverb and overdrive for shitsngigs
It would be a $500 tuner though.
Yes you would not because it impossible
@@ukaszukasz7059 I agree with you. But with Yahweh, anything is possible.
YOU are the Only guy demoing fx on the WHOLE internet, that has a clue.....!
seems like NO ONE else understands what pedals are supposed to do, except You..... everyone else wants to showcase their guitar playing....
You, on the other hand, Actually showcase the pedal..... Brilliant.....!
You should check out the Pedal Zone. Stefan is awesome!
Pascal Christian Brück check put jhs pedals. Josh from jhs pedals demos pedals from other companies and reviews if they’re good. Also explains what the pedal does.
He is really really good, too, yeah!
Pedal Partners is just mindblowingly good, definitely check him out as well!
hovercraftArtifact does some cool pedal videos as well
The pedal art and the sounds make me think so much about Kid A.
Best pedal purchase I've evermade. I find myself listening to this when I'm not around it just to hear it's beauty.
never mind the pedals, this channel has some of the most inspiring PLAYING i've heard in years.
try study kid
@@georgeharrison816 huh?
Seriously. Take all of your pedal videos and make an ambient album. It would sell like hot cakes!
It already did. He just played an track from 2814 through the pedal at 5:40 without credit. Guy's a hack clearly.
Really?, What song?
I absolutely don't understand how this pedal works, but I still watch this video everyday.
Knobs, I'm not made of money. Please stop making everything sound so good.
This demo is the soundtrack to my life
Man I saw one of your vids using this pedal . . Its too expensive ! I couldn't get one . it cost 34k peso in my country 😢 ..
And yours are mine
10/10
Would buy the audio from this video in vinyl format to listen to forever until I slowly decay and have the matter from my collection of atoms be redistributed into the eternal void in the form of nothing but sonic waves and ultimately, farts.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, no.
But did you like the audio?
Stacy Park eh, it was alright
2 years after watching this vid for the first time, I finally caved and bought it.
Knobs is an expensive therapy channel than has a side effect of giving you more pedals
1:17 I nearly fainted
I KNOW UGH that time stamp sounds like part of disasterpeace’s soundtrack for Hyper Light Drifter
@@KetamineReview1159 literally took the words out of my mouth, this is def disasterpeace 2.0
I nearly finished

I've gone through some insomnia fits lately. This video of my favorite pedal has put me to sleep several nights in a row. Thank you, even if you didn't intend it.
Every demo of this pedal sounds different depending on who's playing it. That's why I bought it.
Versatility says it all right? However I hear Vangelis everytime people play it.
is it worth its money? i mean those earthquaker pedals are pretty expensive
This pedal is so underrated. Glad you gave this pedal the recognition it truly deserves.
This video wins the award for having the most beautiful audio on RUclips
I have never watched a gear test like this. This is super refreshing.
This is the video that convinced me to get this pedal. It is now by far my favorite pedal on my board.
Look at Knobs vid - Mind enters hypnotic state - Wake up with a new pedal on my pedalboard.
And I know I'll be unable to prevent myself from watching the next. Your channel runs in loop in my ears when I'm working.
My god folks, you absolutely have to listen to any moment of the Birdman OST - Antonio Sanchez while watching this. Pure awesomeness.
Just watched Andy from PGS do a demo and it was awesome and this is the icing on the cake. Like, the most delicious icing.
just wanna say that this is one of the greatest pedal demonstrations i've ever watched. the melodies and usage of the different functions here is incredible, if i had the money right now i'd have just bought it based off this video alone
I've just discovered how great these videos are as background music to study. They're just so calm, so soothing. Love it dudes.
I sat through your whole video. Amazing, Thank you for letting the pedal do the talking. And thanks for adding the little bubbles that help me understand how to use this.
That's the beauty of this. They clearly explain how to use it.

Wow listening to that had a calming effect happen to anyone else?!
I got a wise mood while high watching politics hahahaha
amen, amigo
Same. I need to listen to this before bed. It's so very ZEN.
The swell mode demo almost made me cry
A must have pedal
I love you knobs ♡
I didn’t think I needed another pedal. This video changed my mind. I ordered one and it is coming in 2 days and I can’t wait
This is the greatest channel ever. Jesus, I can't stop binging.
Someone else thinks that this guy should make songs with the melodies from the videos, they are very good, they make me travel very high.
I just got mine in the mail today. I only had about 30 minutes to play with it but I already know that it was a great purchase.
I really appreciate that there's no "talking section" in the beginning that I have to skip to get to pedal noises
I cried when that first reverse hit.
The reverse hit, I decided I need this pedal. My husband is gonna be so mad I got another pedal.
@@joellebrodeur1015 you must serenade your husband with reverse hits, now.
@@McbrydeWithaY trust when I say I will 👍😁.
Just bought one of these thanks to your channel. One of the most inspiring pieces of gear I've ever purchased. Your demos are incredible, thanks so much for the detail and work you put into them.
Knobs is more about music than pedals. So, people, don't forget it buying these pedals.
Ever more treacherous cascades of solomon joy. Let this avalanche run perk up your day!
The entire introduction to this vide sold me on the pedal before I even got to the features.
I knew you'd be the one who'd make me fall in love with this thing
Can't stop watching this.
I put this on in the background while I study, but I usually end up just closing my eyes and letting this beauty wash over me
This is the first good Avalanche Run demo. Thanks for doing it the day they had their 15% off sale!!!!!!
One of the greatest pedals ever made. Thanks for the amazing demo
gorgeous, the blue box, the video and the sound.
Great little gadgets like this
are uplifting while you find it pricey at the Same time.
damn this is a lot like the walrus audio lore, which i love, but this is really sweet too
Just got this for my bass mini-board (along with old blood haunt and walrus voyager), my god this is so many sounds in one pedal. I had a lot of delay/reverb and this one is pretty unique. The demo is stellar too
This is still one of the GOAT pedal demos on the tube
Why haven't I've seen this channel sooner?!? I'm in love, but you're going to make me go broke.
Great job reviewing a great device (and yeah...I just plunked down $300 for one!)...you have a wonderful style and wit, and I appreciate that you put all the [informative!] jabber in on-screen text instead of speaking it! :)
You know this pedal is beautiful when the demo makes you tear up.
Thank you! First demo to show the reverb in isolation. Beautiful playing too.
This is my favorite knobs video yet. And yes, I will most likely buy this pedal too.
Can you buy me one as well? TFW when no job and broke :(
I agree
I bought this pedal and I can't make it sound nearly as good as this...I have managed to get it to sound like a dishwasher though...
Lmao
Lol, I accidentally found that setting, too.
Follow knobs example... The settings are blatantly in front of you
Eddy Quintero 🤣🤣🤣, from this heavenly sound on this video to dishwasher.
Brandon Heat bold of you to assume I know how to read
Brilliant Demo.....Very Musical......Im a huge EQ fan.....I was already planning to buy this pedal and have been listening to every demo I could find. You nailed the true essence of what this amazing box can do!!!
i swear i can probably listen to a whole ablum of this pedal and your riffs (heaven)
One of my favorite pedals i own. This thing is a beast.
This video is a work of art
I inevitably bought this pedal after watching this video and I can confirm it is indeed, amazing.
The loop 1:35 is just, Gorgeous!
I have this pedal and absolutely adore it- but your videos make things even better. Subscribed.
Can I just say this demo and the pedal zone demo are the best demos of this pedal
Was wanting one of these and this solidified my purchase.
Stoked on it.
Damn you Knobs for making such beautiful demos and making me want every pedal in existence!
I want this I want this I want this NOW.
Fantastic pedal and demo! Cheers.

ok wasn't that impressed by other demos. now I want!
Beautiful as usual, you always manage to impress. Man I really love this pedal, I'm quite fond of reverb/delay. I have a Eventide H9 and I still want to get my hands on this thing.
This reminds me of susumo yakota. Very cool sounds
Besides the pedal being awesome, everything you're playing is extremely beautiful.
Some nights I just hit play on this.
close my phone and listen till I fall asleep.
You should seriously make an album, I would buy it!
Love your channel. You should make an album just with you screwing around with this pedal. I'd buy it.
I'd be deaf and still binge watch your videos.
Keep on coming back to this one.
Such an excellent demo. All ambient atmospheres lovers should hear that. Guitarists and synth players. It is worth any blabla with so called demo expert.
This is the Grand Theft Auto of pedals. Infinite replay value. Always more craziness to create.
Although this is an ambient monster, it's also very practical for an acoustic pedalboard. Compact, great tone, delay, verb. Pair with a tuner and D.I.
End of story
Yep, I run it on my mandolin board
This thing is like if the Memory Man took DMT.
The makers of this pedal will be stunned seeing this.
Holy shit i thing i just found my next binge-watch channel! This is so amazing!
Welcome. Make yourself comfortable.
Dream Guitar Pedal.
still the best pedal demo on youtube, ever!

Brilliant as always.
Can you guys imagine life without Reverb or delay
liz diamond How dare you.
Not even worth it
@@aeoteroa818 Yeah, I'd basically rather die

Can you do "old blood noise endeavors - dark star"? Would be great.

This pedal is magic!
this makes me want to burn all my money into boutique pedals
jk i have no money
Solace. I return often to greet the day here.
I'm contemplating my first delay in years. This could be the one.
