Im really enjoying your pedal videos. The weird old pc game vibe inserts are really nice. I like that you are pushing us to use our gear to it's fullest rather than just set it aside and buy something new. It's very wholesome and inspiring.
Thanks man. Part of the reason I made this video specifically was because I wanted to make up for the insanely pro-consumerist message of my videos about orange juice, not sure if you’ve made it there yet but you’ll see when you do.
Some of the perspectives you share are things I would teach if I were a music composition professor. You are really offering a great service. Also I love your record and enjoy the demos in these videos, largely because your sounds often remind me of a continuation of an album composed of toy sounds, Gizmodgery by Self, who didn't do any follow ups. Keep going, you're on to something special.
Imagine being this guys neighbor. Getting home from work or carrying groceries in hand, you can hear music playing muffled from behind a closed door. You stop for a moment to listen and connect with another's creative spirit. Neither knowing that one reached out while another was touched... The gems of humanity some never meet are the people you live around or see everyday.
Love the style of your videos. Laid back and unconventional, but still concise and informative. Keep it up, you are criminally underviewed, your time will come!
Something crazy to do with pedals that have a stereo In as well as Out: make the sinal path go through the pedal twice. You can make some weird shit. In some rare cases like the boss 500 series you can even apply different effects to each stereo side and effectively have two pedals in one. BTW, I'm loving this channel, the visual presentation is amazing. 90s demoscene meets Donkey Kong Country. Keep it up!
@@alefty4463 If you run guitar > inputA > outputA > inputB > outputB > amp you are going through the pedal twice (the signal is coming out of the pedal and in again). BE CAREFUL: Depending on the pedal and settings this may cause uncontrollable feedback so proceed with caution! Make sure you have a way to kill the signal going in and out of the pedal just in case.
Great vid thanks 👍 my 50p worth, delay on shortest setting feedback max. Terrible feedback. Now make that the input for your board. It's like having an ocilator. Use delay time to adjust pitch or pitchshifter. Chorus. More slower delay. Trem. You got a synth 👍😃🤘😎
The guitar solo at 4:14 is the sexiest thing I’ve ever heard in my life. I come back and watch this video all the time just to hear it, it’s the sole reason why I bought a ps6
Love your videos! Very much agree that an expression pedal can open up a lot of possibilities. I recently hit a goldmine by getting a used Boss DD-500 - the patching can get super deep, I've made settings that imitate the EHX Freeze, EQD Rainbow, even Chase Bliss type sounds, and others that are even weirder. One tip I'll add for the comments section is to use a DAW and plugins (free versions of Reaper and Melda plugin suite, for example) to figure out your sound before buying pedals. Better yet, you can discover new sounds in the process of trying to approximate your DAW productions via the gear you already possess.
having lots of fun with stereo pedal™ → delay on the left / delay on the right (wet only?) → another stereo pedal (tremolo, let's say). mono pedals are damn good for stereo setups if you use them right.
thank you for this comment. also if i recognize correctly that your user pic is from Zombies Ate My Neighbors that's incredible and that video game rules my life
Absolutely love your channel! Pro tip#2 is actually good and it was used a lot by Egor Letov from soviet band "Grazhdanskaya oborona"(Гражданская оборона). He created most unique sound textures by direct recording distortion without amps
Pro tip 5 is right clever. I have a Boss CH-1 Super Chorus pedal but haven't given much though to it's stereo function, because of the wet effect, but using it a a clean stereo output everything before is very intriguing. In
I'm glad RUclips recommended your channel, I'm really enjoying your videos. There is very useful information, fun craziness, and I really like those strange bitty, ascii, action figure animations you put in... I've no idea how you make them and I like them a lot. Thanks.
Great ideas. Not really a unique technique here, but experimenting with EQ at different points in your pedal chain can stretch the possibilities of the gear you already have-especially before or after overdrive, distortion and fuzz.
Don't have too much to add other than all of these demos and ideas were really really cool. I dug watching you play and the lo-fi animation stuff too. Thanks!
Great video! On the note of "Defeat the Purpose," I think this brings things like orchestration and arrangement into the picture which I always feel like a lot of musicians don't even consider when exploring their tone/sound. Finding sounds like your example or to go even more broad into something like Smashing Pumpkins 90s guitar sound, it's rarely 1 guitar part/track. IMHO realizing this is like moving from a tiny corner of a room, to realizing there's a whole house to explore.
i agree that solving problems at the level of arrangement, like be rewriting parts or altering the performance style or whatever, is often the most powerful solution
@@CyberattackWorld love the stereo !! could you explain smth ? I have two stereo pedals at the end of my chain (Big Sky and Echosystem connected all left-right/in-out and then going to two different amps). Now I think about getting a chorus and I can't decide between Julia and Julianna (both by Walrus Audio). Julianna has stereo outputs but does it matter if I have stereo pedals after it? Will Julia have the same stereo sound with my other pedals after it ? Or will it differ smh ?
@@grishayampolsky it depends on whether the stereo pedals after the Juliana preserve the true stereo signal they get as input. Sometimes stereo pedals will sum the stereo input they get-which in this case would collapse whatever stereo stuff the Julianna is doing-and then run their own stereo effects on the collapsed mono signal and output that as stereo. It's not necessarily the end of the world when that happens, because you still wind up with a stereo image at the end. But I don't know whether any of the stereo pedals you're talking about will do this, you might have to write to them and ask.
@@CyberattackWorld thanks for the reply, think I got it. well I guess that if pedal has left/right inputs it might probably be preserved from summing up the signal into mono, especially if it's fancy shmancy Strymon and Empress, but I guess writing to them is a good idea!
In my view, #1 and #4 pretty much sum up your whole pedal ethos: Either make the pedal do things it wasn't intended to do, or make the pedal do "too much" of what it was intended to do. Between this video and that Knobs video you recently recommended, no further pedal videos need to be made, (though I'll continue to happily consume content from you both). Thanks for expanding my mind.
@@moritzlienhard273 yeah it was called FANTASTIC FLAWS or something like that, it had FLAWS in the title. If you find his channel and search it for Flaws you’ll find it.
This is great ! I actually love the boss 500 series since they have an lfo you can assign as expression pedal. I do it quite a bit for my dd-500 for pitch delay sounds. Also instructions unclear, bought 5 pedals while watching.
Best channel on the RUclipss! I esp love the idea of sticking a Strymon at the end of a mono pedal chain to make it stereo - brilliance! I am pretty experi(mental) and had thought of lots of these: so that was great face-palm / omg / why-didn't-I-think-of-that moment! Thank you for all of these great videos - super nerds unite!
That frustration with the lost delay 😂 I hate it when you work with some tool, you blink and it's gone! Happens every time. All tricks are great, but 'stereo' one is really a huge deal as you've said! Thanks for the video

Very cool. I'm going to rearrange my board this afternoon and try on our gig this weekend. Especially the stereo effect. Awesome &Thanks man./ My first time checking you out thanks to Rhett Shull.
Bro lol, I always use mix and wet at 100%. LOL especially at super weird reverbs and like crazy delays like space echo/volantes. And any of those multi head tape emulators I always put the warble or age way up too to get the cool ass warped vinyl sound.

What a unique flavor your channel has. Kudos on that, as a fellow content creator I can bigly appreciate what you're laying down here.
My new favorite pedal channel. Can’t stop binging! I’ve learned more from these videos that all of the other pedal channels put together.
That solo was amazing!
#2 is fantastic, treating your pedals like modular parts of a synth and avoiding an amp all together
