49 years chasing pedals. I have a word of advice for young collectors. Don't listen to those that think it a dumb preoccupation. It's hopefully a controllable life long endeavor that does not end. It's a minor passion that can end up possesing your credit card as well. Proceed with caution, hunt well and tone is everything.
This. Also, pedals aren't just for guitars - you can extract more value from them by using them on vocals, bass, keyboards, getting something out the laptop and back in again to give it a sound you can't get from plugins...
I don't play instruments, but this alone made me want to pick up a string instrument and use it with that pedal. The sound it creates is out of this world
I tried to watch this channel so could fall asleep to beautiful music. The intricacies and range of the pedals/instrument captivate me. I'd rather stay up and watch now. Great cinematics and editing as well. I never thought a harp would describe these pedals better than guitar. It does!
I just received mine, and its such a great sounding pedal. Very easy to get these immersive soundscapes without getting bogged down in option paralysis
At this point, it's hard to imagine someone playing guitar through those pedals. They are canonically harp pedals to me lol The Dark Star and Light pedal demos are still my favorite demos you've done so far. So this is kind of a full-circlw moment for me lol
Seeing the Shorts version of the Dark Light got me back into guitar, and instantly bought this pedal, along with a tube amplifier. I cannot WAIT to get all of these! OBNE KILLED it with the Dark Light! Thank you for the vid, Em!
Thanks for putting this out ive been checking nearly daily for dark light comtent before mine gets here. A part two with more tones would be sick thank
This is so incredible! These are my two all time favorite ambient pedals besides the kma cirrus. The stereo sound is just too beautiful, I totally love it! And also your playing with the harp is really killing it. I wish there would exist an entire album played in this way! Especially the dark star parts pushed with a fuzz pedal creates such amazing soundsscapes. Keep going on, ur doing such a good job!
This harp dark light combo sound definitely transported me to a whole new place. Also loved the genuine goofy thank you at the end ❤. Glad to see you happy and healthy!
Dark star and Sunlight have been on my list for years, but strangely I've never gotten either one. But I ordered a dark light faster than I've ever ordered a new pedal release! Can't wait to get my first proper OBNE pedal, thanks for helping to build the hype!
Gorgeous sounds! Two of my favorite pedals ever in one box, what can go wrong. Absolutely love the track you and Russ made for the Old Blood vid, so haunting and menacing.
This was so stunning, after the hard start to my week...to think, I just stumbled onto the site! Don't ever stop what you are creating. It's oxygenating heartspace...
Thanks for inspiring a lot of us, Emma. If you can create this crazy awesome music with pedals and your harp, I feel like I can too; with a guitar!! So much inspiration. So happy I found your channel. Keep it up! 🫶
Hey, really nice demo you got there. Really cool to see and hear an artist explain how they think about using the pedal instead of just turning toggles, especially with such an elaborate pedal.
Emm, Thanks hun, always love your breakdown of Pedals. So glad to see you getting back to just Doing, 🙏🌸❤️, & that is so cool you and Russ are now mini movie Stars 🤩🤩🤩, love you guys hope your back to Your okd Self Soon Emm! Your Music-In-Law R Hall 🤘🎸🤠
That freeze function makes the combo pedal format well worth it. Super cool. Aaah! And momentary! I don’t remember if that’s on the original pedals but it’s sweet
Your creativity is amazing. Just ordered the Dark Light from OBNE but after hearing this, I wish I'd ordered two - the second one could be my Sun Star 😇
Didn't even know you had another channel until just now! Wow! Cool 🤗 that pedal sounds amazing! I mainly play metal but not the popular bs. More darker stuff and that pedal could make endless possibilities with eerie but yet beautiful sounding dark music 🤗🤘🤘🤘🤘
Beautiful demo. 🙌 👋👋 This pedal is magical. 🌌🌠 I love Dark Star and Sunlight, and this is just a perfect combination, better than the individual pedals. 💙💗🖤
You and Leon Todd are SO BAD for my bank account. That aside, you always crush it in these videos, well done! Next project - figure out a way for your heart monitor to hook up to a synth CV input.

Honestly I think Emma is much better at harp than Emily
Dude... I actually thought I was looking at a fake account for a minute. Granted, I'm sleep deprived by a whole day. But, still.
Who is Emily?
Who’s Emma

Great advice. We are all just trying to have fun, tinkering away :)
This is a pedal demo, why am I crying? 🖤💜
Such a well thought out demo! You and Russ always bring it!
Thanks so much!

Such a sensational and stunning stereo sandlot of scintillating, savory satisfaction.
The sound design on the Dark Light announcement music was so good! Glad to see you’re better and crushing videos again
I could listen to hours of you playing with this pedal
At this point, it's hard to imagine someone playing guitar through those pedals. They are canonically harp pedals to me lol
The Dark Star and Light pedal demos are still my favorite demos you've done so far. So this is kind of a full-circlw moment for me lol
I can't even imagine the electronics in those boxes, pure magic
I absolutely love the sounds and music you make marrying pedals with you harp. So beautiful. A ray of light.
So needed in these dark times.
Seeing the Shorts version of the Dark Light got me back into guitar, and instantly bought this pedal, along with a tube amplifier. I cannot WAIT to get all of these! OBNE KILLED it with the Dark Light! Thank you for the vid, Em!
That pedal art is beautiful!

Such a great demo! The Dark Light just sounds memerizing on the harp! And so glad you are on the mend...you gave us all a scare!
This was so stunning, after the hard start to my week...to think, I just stumbled onto the site! Don't ever stop what you are creating. It's oxygenating heartspace...
Wonderful demo, so glad this pedal exists and can't wait for mine to come in!
I was really hoping this was the 400 and really hoping I found whatever needs to be found. I love this beautiful work of art!
=O They blended them into one pedal, NO WAY! I have to get it for my harp now xD omg the freeze toggle and spread is so kool.
so cool! thanks for the great demo!
I clearly need to play around with my Dark Star more because you made it sound so good here! Know what I'll be doing tonight!
One of the best pedal demos ever. This is great music to have on.
