      I was just about to make a sarcastic joke about the headless headstock lol the song is so beautiful it outweighs the appearance as it shouldnt matter what an instrument looks like or even is.. i make music on a app on my phone and it sometimes sounds as good as real synthisizers and i know it would be held with more weight if i used legit instruments besides free apps and "toy" instruments

    It took me some time getting into this channel. When I did, I became addicted as this really looks at music from another viewpoint. Let's face it, the year is 2023 and in general, all there is 'out there' mimics the past or is just poor quality in composition and melody. 'Chords of Orion' attempts to delve into another dimension and I love the channel as equally for the originality and invention. Many thanks for all the video demos. It is rather like being given a new box of water-colour paints.

    very nice, love the headless, although ive wondered if you could put something there instead of a headstock,like a glowing ball of RGB? or maybe even mount a pedal there and have that as your head stock, then you can twiddle knobs without bending over

    • @weareallbeingwatched4602
      @weareallbeingwatched4602 2 года назад

      The idea with headless guitars is to remove the weight from the end of the neck. A pedal would be a *lot* of weight, and a bunch of wiring issues. Playing the guitar occupies both hands.

  • @markjones4508
    @markjones4508 2 года назад +1

    Mine just came in too. I plugged it in, and wow I think they nailed it. It does exactly what I hoped it would do, and all with just one button. Beautiful pads below the leads, change chords when you want, and it fades gracefully when you let off. Much more natural sounding than the Freeze which I think is a bit artificial synthy sounding.

    I just got this myself. Some cool features. I’ve used the freeze pedal for many years now, and always wished that I could get a longer fade after disengaging it which this pedal can achieve. There is a slight “tremolo“ kind of sound to it, which I have found more palatable when the level is adjusted. Did you find that troublesome on your end?

    Sorry I'm going to go off topic to ask a question since this is your latest video. It's about the PLETHORA. I understand someone can use an expression pedal and control multiple parameters in all five pedals if he/she wants to. How unique is this to the PLETHORA? You have played with other MODERN multieffects, like the new LINE 6 and others.... can you control multiple virtual effects/pedals with one common expression pedal?

    • @chordsoforion
      @chordsoforion  2 года назад

      Maybe? TBH, I don't use an expression pedal all that often, so I don't always dig into the full expression pedal capabilities of a unit. But I can say that the POD Go allows one to assign multiple effects parameters to one expression pedal. So, it would follow then that the entire Helix line would be able to do so too.

    • @MYGAS21
      @MYGAS21 2 года назад

      @@chordsoforion LOL! I totally understand! THANKS for the responce! ...I'm not into multieffects.. I'm a songwriter with a physical pedalboard ... but I am starting to slowly realise how revolutionary it is to control multiple pedals with one expression. In the begginig it was just about creating cool momentary space sound effects ... but now I am broadening my scope: I realised that the PLETHORA atleast, with the amount of control it allows for 5! pedals and much more parameters, essentialy creates a board so integrated that it becomes a composit pedal/effect IMHO. In my physical pedal board, the tools around at the moment allow for control of up to 3 pedals with one expression pedal. If the HX Stomp has the control capabilities of the POD GO, with its' small size, It's easier to regard as one effect/pedal and insert it in a pedal board ...and even though they're not as integratable there are more pedals to integrate, than in the PLETHORA. So I'll take a peek at the HX Stomp manual to see what it can do. Thanks for stearing me in the right direction!
