    Don't know if it's the pedal or what but I'm just hearing an underlying hissing that sounds like crickets in a summer field!

      It's on when the effect is bypassed and quiet when he is talking, so it might be an issue with something else in his signal chain.

      Sorry for my English, I’m italian.
      I follow you since 6/7 months, I really like the pedals you use, and I love ambient effect to use for rock (I play rock but I like create atmosphere with this kind of effects).
      I have to ask you this:
      What is, for you, the most beautiful and brillant/dreamy reverb and delay?
      This is my “wishlist”, but I don’t know what pedal buy (1 or 2 for reverb, 1 or 2 for delay):
      REVERB:
      -Ac Noises Ama
      -Strymon Big Sky
      -Neunaber Immerse MKII
      -Seymour Duncan Dark Sun
      -Walrus Audio Slo
      -Old Blood Noises Rever
      -Shift Line Prism 9
      DELAY
      -Strymon El Capistan
      -Strymon Timeline
      -Tc.E Flashback Triple Delay
      What do you think about? Thanks ❤️

  • @digitalramyun
    @digitalramyun 3 года назад +3

    I love the sounds you’re getting out of the Slö... but unless I’m missing it, there’s a really puzzling omission which would be a deal-breaker for me: it’s not stereo. The audio chain on the second “half” of my board is stereo all the way (delay - reverb - looper - dual-channel DI), and I really wouldn’t want to lose that, even though the Slö has some delicious tones to offer. I hope they make a stereo version one day... a “Slö Prö”? (Sorry 😅)

    • @chordsoforion
      @chordsoforion  3 года назад +2

    @lightnintrucker 5 лет назад +1

    Great Pedal Bill! Truly some otherworldly sounds from it. But since I prefer to have delay before reverb and I play in stereo, it'd be a lot better if that was stereo input and output. So until Walrus audio works on that, the Slo ain't fer me.

    In your opinion, what would you consider to be the best Ambient reverb pedal for around $200? They all sound really good and your playing is awesome by the way.

    • @chordsoforion
      @chordsoforion  5 лет назад +1

      My personal favorite in that price range is the Neunaber Immerse. That being said, there is no "best ambient reverb pedal", and the Immerse might be a terrible choice for your music. it's a good idea to determine what features and types of sounds you are interested in. This will help lead you to the right pedal for you.

    • @NoEffortMusic
