A separate dry output for this is really helpful, so long as you have something to mix them back together later or two amps or whatever. The Behringer BSY600 (a clone of the BOSS SYB-5) has two outputs (wet and dry) as well as an EXP jack. Some good sounds in it, some very ugly sounds in it, tracks badly and if you feed it a drum machine it goes nuts! My personal favourite experiment involved putting in chords, letting the monophonic BSY600 try and pick a note out, and sending the dry signal to the EHX Attack/decay with a long attack of for a swelling chord into a big delay.
I've recently got a monophonic Subdecay Pixelwave pedal and I was thinking a similar thought, but to have a guitar with 3x seperate 2-pole cigar box pickups each going to a seperate output & then to it's own monophonic synth pedal, before being re- combined by an EHX tri-parallel mixer.
i forgot to thank you for the tips you're giving all the time. i started to approach pedals from your perspective, pushing them to the limit and finding glitches and the first pedal i tried it with was attack/decay. it blew my socks off. i managed to get many different pedals out of it. all types of swell and pluck, tremolo, bit crusher, different fuzzes and god knows what. what's great about the pedal is that it gives you 3 preset bank + the setup you dial on the physical knobs. and no bloody digital display, thank god. you really taught me how to explore. thank you!
"Develop an ear for when a bullshis is going to be useable" - this is such a versatile advice, applicable to all things music. I've been doing similar thing where, while listening to music, I am trying to single out sounds or presets that would sound like bullshit, if taken out of the context of the song.

The Attack Decay is my favourite pedal I've had. Appart from all you said about it it can also be used as a tremolo and is capable of producing usable glitchy sounds wich provide the most fun I've had with a pedal. Can't recommend it enough and for people to spend time with it

Great video! The attack decay is the most underrated pedal out there in my opinion. My secret sauce is using a delay in the fx Loop, set to totally oscillate with feedback - tame it with the blend and decay knob. Also try a pitch shifter or arpegiator into a fully wet reverb back into the return
Just wanted to say how much i appreciate your content, your knowledge of music and electronics is in a class of its own, and your tunes always leave me inspired to create.
I’m a huge fan of making your guitar sound like another instrument! I tend to use a wammy pedal with some octave. Thank you for this awesome video! Gained a sub with this one
For no 3 you can also run the speed faster when holding it for whole bar and switch to slower whenever you wanna have some movement in it. The principle is the same as hammond organ with leslie rotary. Tbh i prefer using rotary effect with pad most of the times tho.
My favorite thing I’ve done with my rig was setting up a wet and dry rig. Then I got curious and added fuzz to my wet amp so now I’ve been playing with parallel fuzz tones. Both are pretty maxed out in gain and noise level so it’s a mega punch of distortion coming through.
You should get yourself a Behringer K-2 (It's a Korg Ms-20 clone). It's the world's bulkiest synth pedal. It turns the signal from your guitar into control voltage. It's actually pretty rad.
The attack decay, my go to source for an early 80’s Robert Fripp sound. Check out the industrialectric pedals like the rmn-1. Now I’ll go get my own shinebox
Superego plus has a good decay knob. The Attack/Decay sounds great in front of any synth pedal. Really opens up possibilities. Source Audio released the Neuro 3 app and it doesn't connect to Android so I lost connection with my C4. I'm not happy.
@@louismarinrenaud416 my fuzzes consist of an original black Russian Big Muff with knobs broken off in the positions that I always set them to anyway because I tripped on it and various cheap fuzzes that I've modified and upgraded myself with better components. I don't know how conventional that is but it sounds good to me. The HX Stomp models are so accurate for most effects that they're effectively stand-ins. I have an another Big Muff that I don't use anymore because the Line 6 model makes it redundant.
C4 tracks "too well" compared to other synth pedals I have, but sloppy playing seems to have less effect than harmonics. I just EQ out the highs and tracking is much better on things like the Data Corrupter, but you can definitely still make them glitch, and you can get a lot more unique sounds out of them, somewhat consistently, just by messing with the tracking rather than the settings. Only just picked up the C4, though, I have a lot more experimenting to do with that...
Does the C4 amp envelope (acting on the dry signal) cover the sounds of the monophonic mode on the Attack Decay? I'm wondering if the Attack Decay would be redundant if I'm not using the polyphonic mode.
It’s possible you could painstakingly get the C4 to do what the Attack Decay does, but I’m not sure you can, and in any case the Attack Decay is a million times easier to deal with

It's Friday AND Cyberattack posted a new video?? I'm buying a lotto ticket STAT. Rock on, brother!
I love this new focus on using types of pedals vs specific pedals. It’s even more inspiring!
Would loooove a How to be Advanced on the Attack Decay itself!
Yeah, definitely need a whole episode. Sounds great in front of a synth pedal. Really opens up possibilities.
The Attacks Decay is a total sleeper, one of my favorite ones, bonus on the send / receive.
Dude that last jam HAS to become a full song that's such a cool sound.
i love the sound too but the song itself has already been written: ruclips.net/video/bUqloXToFXU/видео.htmlsi=ZwA92NGHQQhlJDpN
You can slap wah after reverb whenever you wanted the audience to turn their head.
You can also slap distortion after synth
I have absolutely no interest in synth pedals, I just love listening to this guy talk.
@StraightRocketFuel same, takes me back to growing up in queens, gotta have Warren Cucurrullo on

We may not have come for the voice, but it’s why we stay. 🎉
Closing tracks are always lovely.
thanks, I try to make something cool for the people who watch the whole video
Dude everything about these videos - magic 🔥
The sounds, the song choices, the solos!
Thanks man
Pad into tremolo is genius. Can't believe I didn't think of it. Thank you.
Sometimes I feed a pad into a phaser then send it to a ping pong delay, trippy af, but the heavy tremolo gives it rhythm, I am doing that today.
Using multiple synth pedals in a couple parallel chains would probably be really cool. Basically makes your guitar into a two oscillator synth.
yes that would be bananas. but it's worth noting that the C4 synth can already do this by itself, with the multiple-voices feature.
A separate dry output for this is really helpful, so long as you have something to mix them back together later or two amps or whatever. The Behringer BSY600 (a clone of the BOSS SYB-5) has two outputs (wet and dry) as well as an EXP jack.

I like your approach. There’s no bad sounds, you just have to put it in context. Which you do remarkably well. Thanks mate

07:52 i really dig that kraftwerk to Daft Punk transition...
I’d love a whole video on the Attack Decay
that pedal rules but i'm moving away from vids that only talk about one pedal, they tend to underperform
Thanks for the Attack/Decay tips I love that pedal so much
It’s a standout

One of the greatest guitar solos...in the history of guitar solos.
i'll take it
Timely! I've just recently been thinking about getting an sy1 or sy200 the past few days
You are right up there with Tom Morello on how to make a guitar not sound like a guitar but sound cool even though it doesn’t sound like a guitar!!

The way you transform '60s pop tunes into these glitchy, sorta candy-coated pseudo-chiptunes is really cool.
Thank you for recognizing
Your approach to pedals is refreshing and most importantly creative! My favourite music channel
I like how you moved your set into the middle of an aircraft hangar so it looks the same as always but there’s more ‘verb.
Hellllll yes. Such useful ideas as usual. Nobody thinks like cyberattack
Great video, sounds, jams, and graphics! You should do a part 2 of this.
Part 2 vids always get bad numbers but if I can think of a different angle I’d love to do more with this gear
I love playing guitar, but man is it fun using synth pedals. It’s a whole world within world of enjoyment. Also Meris Enzo is pretty clever with ADSR
Currently my fav channel on RUclips.. keep it up. Super useful and relatable content and I appreciate it. Thanks!
I’ve played around with the poly blue for hours but never plugged it straight into the board, that sounds sick as all hell

So many great sounds on there.
I have the SY-1, after debating getting the 200, for awhile.

200 is the best!

You sound incredible and you would really enjoy the Subdecay synth pedals like the octa synth or the m3 among others. They can be simple or cray cray
Nice Video 😊
Running the SY-1 into the Attack Decay gets some cool results. Both are staples on my board

Synths into synth pedals is also fun and full of errors, td-3 into mothership is a goldmine
also the tracking errors in the poly mode of the attack decay are so weird and unique.

How can I get the funky guitar sound (rhythm guitar) from the song of the attack decay? Thanks.
That was just my guitar going into the Strymon Iridium (an amp in pedal form) with no other effects. A lot of times a compressor also makes clean funky guitar tones sound better though.
