    I love you channel and your vibe. Just found this gem a few days ago. Such a great personality man kind of reminds me of a Bob Ross of ambient guitar drone.

    5, 4, 1, flat 7. I sometimes wonder what it is about these intervals that makes such beautiful music, regardless of the genre.

    I love it! Thanks! When I recently wanted to add some ambient guitar to my meditation sessions I added some layers and layers, playing more and more notes. Then I discovered your channel and your music. I realised that the less I do the best it sound relaxing. I have to improve my sound but I'm on the way! Thanks so much 😊🙏❤️

      @Nicolas Dubar…. If there was ever a fitting place to use the expression “less is more”, it’s ambient guitar.

    I would like if you talk about the boss dd20 , I know it's pretty old , but I think would be great to do ambient guitar, especially frippertronics... you know I live in a country with absurd inflation, and dd20 is a (almost only ) option of pedal with 20+ seconds of delay ...
    I'm subscribed and love the channel by a long time ...

    I would really love to hear an honest conversation regarding the Ebow, the Joyo, and the AEON. People seem to love the Ebow but then turn around and say they are now on their 4th or 5th one because they keep falling apart. Others say after they get used to the Joyo or AEON that they work just as good. I'm not really sure I believe that. Where is the balance? By the cheap one and hope I get used to it, or buy the $100 one over and over again? Are there any users here that have the cheaper ones that can really say they work well if you take the time to learn it?

      Hey Bryant. I did an unsponsored comparison between the 3: ruclips.net/video/p7NeaTySmw0/видео.html Cliff Notes version: EBow and Joyo win out. Aeon not so much.

      @bryantwalley 2 года назад

      @@chordsoforion thanks. I remember when you did that video. I am wondering if your results are because those two have the same shape and that you have been using that shape for years? Also is the joyo going to hold up better than the ebow? Why are there so many people saying they are not durable? It's not like we are to play golf with it.

  • @quochuync

    Instead of the Pitch Fork, would a harmoniser like the Quintessence give the same effect?

    • @chordsoforion
      @chordsoforion  2 года назад +1

      No. Just did a video comparing harmonizer pedals. They are no straight pitch shifters and are not polyphonic. ruclips.net/video/aPK5W_RlZrM/видео.html

    • @quochuync
      @quochuync 2 года назад

      ​@@chordsoforion I guess what I was meant to say that, Quintessence should also thicken the sound like Pitch Fork since it's creating other harmonies. Doesn't the Quintessence has some polyphonic settings? Like the 3rd-6th for example? That creates two separate harmonics right? I'd love to watch a comparison video between the Pitch Fork (plus) and the Quintessence, playing on the same musical piece just to feel out the difference between those two types of pedals.
      I'm asking because I plan to buy one but I'm not sure if I should get a pitch shifter or a harmoniser.

      I have had mine since 2014 or 2015. You might want to contact tech support to see if there is a reset sequence.

  • @patrickkelly5004
    @patrickkelly5004 2 года назад

    Bill, you took this guitar to task on fit and finish when you reviewed it, but you've used it on a bunch of videos since, so I guess the pros outweigh the cons?

    • @chordsoforion
      @chordsoforion  2 года назад

      Indeed. The fit and finish issues do not affect the playability or the sound. Also, it became much more usable to me when I put heavy strings on it and tuned down to C#.
