- Guitar, Synth and Drum Machine demo of the fuzzy reverberating echoes within the Black Hole Symmetry by Collision Devices
The Black Hole Symmetry seeks to distill the crushing waves of sound associated with genres such a shoegaze and post-rock in a super intuitive 3 stage space rocket. Sporting a warm modulated delay, an ambient pitch-shifted reverb and a dense destructive fuzz that can all be used individually or together, provides you with a one-way ticket to tear a hole in the sonic universe. From shockingly beautiful angelic ambience to ear-ripping roars. It’s all captured within this magical black box.

Endless epic reverberating tones dwell within this beast. Hope you dig the demo, gang, because this was a really fun one to make. Happy holidays to you and yours, and please take care of each other
I enjoyed the beautiful music you played as much or more than the demo. Thank you, Stefan.
Welp. RIP, my wallet. What a f*cking demo. This channel is unbelievable - Stefan please never stop.
Awwwww! Thank you SO MUCH! ❤
Mate, you won't regret this buy. I'm yet to find a better pedal. Love mine to death. Desert island pedal.
I have had this on my board for about 2 years now. If you are into sonic landscapes it is truly briljant!
Happy you’re enjoying it as well
I have the Keely dark side + a reverb that I use for fuzz + delay + reverb and might consider switching for this for ambient tones. Watcha guys think ?
Dude. This video just goes to show it’s not just about the pedal, it’s about the sound. I wish you would post more ideas with pedal combos. Loving the home jams.
You are so very innovative and creative ... there are way too many people with channels dedicated to copying their favorite guitarist ... you are demonstrating the beauty of creativity ... thank you’
Wow, thank you! Can't explain how much that means to me ❤🙏
I think you out did yourself again, Stefan!
Awwww, man! THANK YOU 🙏
that ending in a word...EPIC - thnxs for turning me onto this incredible pedal & it seems to be reasonably priced
Thank you very much. Means a lot you enjoyed it 🙏
Yeah, for a triple pedal, the price is definitely not bad. Many single function, three knob drives are more expensive nowadays.
Such a pretty looking pedal
Black never goes out of style 🖤🕳
I just started playing guitar again after like 30 years and just ordered this pedal, it'll be my first, I see a habit forming, and I like it.
perfect thing to watch before going to bed ❤❤
Thank you! Happy I can provide you with your nightly dreamscapes. Sleep well 😊
Wish I could upvote this a hundred times more. Those post-rockish, gazing sounds!!
Awwwww! Thank you ❤
Of all the pedal demo people, Stefan has the sickest riffs! 😎 love listening
Oh wow! Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to listen 🙏
Just.....wow!! 💖
Thanks! Happy you like it!
Phenomenal pedal, phenomenal demonstration!
Thank you so much 🖤
You never hit a wrong note! Always just beautiful!
That’s because I plan the crap out of everything I play. If I were to just wing it, I would hit all the wrong notes. Trust me 😂 Happy you enjoy the beauty that appears when I take the time to compose though ❤️
Beatiful sounds, beatiful video and beautiful pedal. And that fuzz is....mmmm....delicious👌🏻
Oh boy!! Thank you so much ❤️
Man, I wanna hear music you've written. Your playing is so dreamy and beautiful.
Thank you! Extremely kind of you 🙏
yes mee tooo!!!
came here to listen to your brilliant ideas, can't say i am disappointed... amazing stuff, man!!
Extremely kind of you to say. Thank you 🙏
I’ve been waiting for this demo for ages....
Hope it was worth the wait
Awesome!! Their new pedal seems amazing too!
Thanks! Yeah, it looks really nice as well 😊
Very cool pedal. Nice jam Stefan !
Thanks! Happy you dig the tones. It's a really fun pedal
another home run, Stefan. thank you for the awesome demo of this beautiful tech, and Happy Holidays from my family and i to you and yours. Can't wait to see/hear what you have coming. Much love, brother.
Thank you so much, buddy! And right back at ya. Best of holidays to you and yours ❤️
Way to unlock the sonic secrets of the universe for us. Hauntingly beautiful playing, as always.
Awwww, man! Thank you 🖤🙏
I was following this pedal and i really was hoping it could arrive in your hands , or feet.. I really enjoy this demo . GREAT GREAT GREAT , one of the best pedal of 2020 , the best review of this pedal .
Oh boi! Thank you so much ❤️🙏
Dude, your riffs are always astounding! Plan on doing a walkthrough of your writing process? I would love that!
Thank you so much! Means a lot 🙏❤️ I wouldn’t mind doing a video on my process, but I honestly have no idea how to explain it. I have no theoretical knowledge, and I’m super bad at conveying what I do in a precise and understandable way. Probably because I don’t put much understanding into it myself. I honestly just mess around until I find a little part that sounds good and then just flesh it out more with root notes and melodies around chord structures
I just got this pedal cant wait to explore the aural cosmos!
Have fun exploring outer space 😊🚀✨
Ooof what ending! Perfect post rock climax. I am nearly tempted to say that is the best music you have played on ANY demo! Classic. Raised the bar AGAIN!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Buddy! Your kindness and support always leaves me speechless. Thank you so much ❤️🙏
Beautiful playing as always Stefan, great job!
Dude! THANK YOU 🙏
Sheesh! These sounds are massive.
Great demo, as usual!
Thank you very much! Yeah, it’s a pretty epic sounding device 😊 Instant post-rock vibes
Fuzz after reverb and delay is so 💪😘🤘 Great pedal, Collision Devices and superb demo as always, Stefan
Cheers! Happy you liked the demo 🙏 The Fuzz is after the delay but before the reverb. Glorious sounding device
YESSSS my favorite reviewer paired with my favorite French pedal builder, Christmas has come early this year! :D
Stellar review and musicmanship as always. I always come back to your reviews just to listen to the music.
It's that great! it inspired me to write a lot, maybe someday I'll be brave enough to share it with people!
On a more personal note, in 2018/2019 I went through a really tough bout of depression that almost claimed my life (thank god for quick-thinking friends) and your demos were a biiiig part of what helped me snap out of it and find reasons to want to live again.
It made me realize music is my true calling and that it alone is enough to live for. YOU helped me with that. Your reviews and kindness helped me in ways I can never repay, and I'm eternaly grateful for that.
Never stop doing what you love, because that love shows and inspires a lot of people. You're a great person, a great reviewer, share some with the rest of us dammit! :)
Happy holidays to you and your loved ones, see you in the next video :)
Love from France
♥♥♥
Ugh, The jam at the end. So good.
Thank you very much!
Microcosm on the background
I’ve been wanting to purchase one of these pedals since I first heard of their release. I believe I’ll be getting my hands on one this Christmas. But I’ve revisited this video of yours countless times. Love the demo you put out of this pedal. I love how excited you get over pedals in general, especially ones you really enjoy. Just wanted to thank you. This video has been holding me over until I’m finally able to pull the trigger on a BHS of my own!
This is a very interesting pedal. Your pedal demos are awesome. Whenever I look out for a pedal here, I first check if there is a demo by ThePedalZone. Great Job!
I *was not* expecting the fuzz demo part to send chills down my spine :D
Glorious demo!
Thanks, man! Really kind of you. The fuzz in this thing is glorious 😊
this pedal is damn addictive. I really like setting the pitch at a fourth or major third with a modulated, short delay
Yeah, it's fun to get lost in its sonic universe
Great demo. I love mine as well
Thanks! Happy you’re enjoying it as well
My next pedal. Sure. Great demo man. Superb.🔝👌🏻
Happy to hear you liked the demo. You're gonna love this pedal. It's a blast!
I really enjoy your demos as a result of your playing style. They're pretty much my favourite ones out there so thanks and Happy Holidays!
That goes straight to heart. Thank you so much ❤️🙏
PRO... You are amazing bro...
Awwww! Thanks!
Fantastic demo. Love what you’re doing here. Thanks for breaking down this very cool pedal for us. ✌️
amazing demo video! definitely watching this again later
Thank you so much!
Fantastic
Thank you!
Happy holidays Stefan and great demo! That machine is just flat out gorgeous, someone majored in graphic design. It would be a formidable post metal device in the effects loop of a high gain amp.
Thanks, man! Yeah, that pedal definitely is a show stopper 😊
Love the jams at the end the most. Will be getting this pedal :).
Cheers! Happy you liked the jam. I'm happy with the way it turned out as well. It's a great pedal for sure
Okay, but THAT ENDING. PLEASE write a whole track based on that!
Happy you liked it 😊
That last jam sounded like something out of a Mogwai record friggin awesome sir !!
Oh my! Thank you! I’m a massive Mogwai fanboi 😊
oh my, what an amazing review video on an amazing pedal.
the effort you put into showcasing the characteristics of the pedal really shines through, this is high quality. thank you, keep up the awesome work!
(p.s.: I just wishlisted Black Hole Symmetry)
Supremely kind of you! Thank you ❤
Such a beautiful pedal, if it weren't for the great sounds, the looks itself make it worth its money.
Hard to disagree with that 🖤
Love it, Great video as always!
Thank you very very much!
Bravo! 👏👏👏
Thank you! 🙏
Also the dudes who make this pedal are super sweeties!
100% ! Super sweet human beings
🖤🖤🖤
♥♥♥♥♥ (heart challenge)
So so sooo good, Stefan! That pitch shifting floating on the endless reverb is heavenly. Thanks for sharing, and Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Thank you, dude! Yeah, that pitch-shifted verb is definitely the standout effect in the pedal. It’s so good! 🚀 Happy holidays right back at ya
Hey man, no matter the pedal, you have a lot of musicality!
Awwww! Supremely kind of you. Thank you!
I could easily spend hours on your channel :) its soooo soothing and also educating and interesting because I am a big big reverb addict haha and I am always on the outlook for new cool pedals and inspiration. You deserve every single one of your subscribers.
Extremely kind of you. Thank you. Happy to have you here 😊
Your playing is so great, Stefan. It doesn't really matter what pedal you review. Maybe do a video about bands/artists that have inspired you to play the way you do. I'd love to hear what music you're into.
Thank you very very much! Really kind of you to say. And sure, a vid on music influences could be fun to do 😊
I also have a Microfreak, and you're doing a hell of a job convincing me I need this pedal for it.
Nice pearl aloe BTW
I don't come for the pedals, I come to hear you play
That’s very kind of you 🙏
Outstanding Stefan, merry Christmas mate 🤟🏼
Thank you so much! And a merry Christmas to you and yours as well 😊
Killer demo and excellent playing 🙏🏼
Thank you 😊
I can never make this pedal sound like this! Gonna have to work on that.
Hopefully the demo gave you some ideas on how to get to where you wanna go 😊
...Love the stuff you do,my Brother!!!...Happy Holiday's from an old-guy that "digs-you," Sir!!!...Peace..
Thanks, man! Really appreciate your kindness 🙏
That is quite trippy.
Hope you enjoyed the trippy trip 😊
@@thepedalzone Indeed, I did.
Why did I have to see this when I'm on a Mogwai binge? I'm so tempted to buy this now!
One should always be on a Mogwai binge. Best band in the world! :) If you're in the EU, then I still have one of these in stock over at my webshop thepedalzone.com. Really classy and cool pedal
Dude, just wanted to say- these are some of the most beautiful chords and sounds I’ve ever heard from a guitar. Just achingly gorgeous man. Do you happen to have a TAB for your jam available or a lesson on how to play those chords? Also, I would pay lots of dollars to see you play a solo show with this pedal!
PS: just ordered one of the limited edition white pedals thanks to this video.
I got one last month. It’s such a fun pedal!
Happy to hear you're enjoying it
awesome video as always ! a french pedal in addition :D
Thank you very much! Vive la France 🇫🇷
You literally make me want to buy every pedal. Stop!!!!!! (...don’t stop though)
Nicely designed pedal! A tap tempo for the delay side would’ve been nice. Also the pitch reverb would’ve been way more useful if it spanned the -12 to +12 range in quantised stages like on the OBNE reverse. When I think of outer space I tend to hear dark reverbs shifted down rather than up.
Last week you sold me the Life Pedal V3 and now I want this. I really should stop watching this channel :P
Hahaha! I'm "sorry" 😂 Stoked you're finding the demos inspiring. Means a lot to me!
I’ve had my eye on this pedal since it came out. Amazing demo as always!
Just keep saying “I don’t need more reverb, I don’t need more reverb, I don’t need more reverb” 🤣
But maybe you need more fuzz and delay! 😂😉 Thanks! Means a lot you enjoyed the demo 🙏
@@thepedalzone love all of your demos! I own a lot of the pedals you have on the show. Thanks for helping me unlock some great tones. I hope next year is your best yet!!!! Cheers!
Great great :)
Thank you thank you 😊🙏
An echo system, a mercury seven and an hoof fuzz.. matched together
Tempt to get one.
It's a fun pedal for sure
Too late, already got one :p
Sorry. I hooked up too many delays in series one day. That’s why I’ve only arrived here now. What year is it? 2020 is over, right?
@@thepedalzone I hope you didn't max out the feedback knobs, or you'll be repeating 2020 for a while :p
This pedal is on my list. I mean, I COULD put my fuzz after reverb, because I'm rarely using it anyway. I can do that as a test, but I'd like to own that pedal. It would replace a few pedals I've got.
It's an experience in itself how the three elements in this pedal work together, so definitely worth owning if you're into post-rock and shoegaze textures. Plus, it just looks hella good :)
@@thepedalzone Definitely! The pedals I have (I tried putting fuzz after delays and reverbs for days now) sound too chaotic even when set up pretty subtly, while this one is more of a controlled chaos.
Are those stock pickups? What a great sounding guitar.
Keep up the good work, mate!
Yeah, 100% stock. It’s a phenomenal guitar. One of the best gear purchases I’ve ever made. And cheers 😊🙏
@@thepedalzone amazing, Stefan! I will buy one for sure. I really wanted a jazzmaster type guitar for different textures.
Thanks buddy! Have a nice Christmas and new year
Cheers from Brazil
Your pedal demos are like my go to vids for my Ambient buys for the year! I still haven't seen a greatest 2020 pedal vid yet....what gives?
So good!! #woofwoof
Let's face it - the pedal demos are great - but I'd say the majority of us are here for YOUR CREATIONS!!! You are one of the most emotive songwriters I have ever heard. Ever. Sorry if my "good boy" comment came out wrong - I just meant good for you. Be you. It is wondrous. Have a nice holiday, Stefan.
Hi Stefan! Amazing sounds 🙂It would be great if you could explain your signal chain as I'm mesmerized by the overall tone - even at the start before you even turn the pedal on! Was it just guitar -> pedal -> REV220 input -> REV220 XLR -> audio interface? Many thanks - keep up the good work! 🙂
Happy you liked the sound! And yes, the chain is exactly as you describe it. Nothing more and nothing less going on :)
Damn Stefan that sounds awesome! How would you compare the delay to say the el capistan? The fuzz to the hoof?
Love your videos! The jam at the end of this is powerful and very inspiring. I was torn between Loomer (your demo was best on the internet) and Black Hole Symmetry. Both are amazing, but Black Hole may have won out after this demo. Did you record it in real time with a looper? If so, what did you use? Thank you.
One of my faves of yours! Love everything I’ve seen from this pedal, you do a perfect job of showcasing it. What tuning are you in for this demo? Sounds open!
Thank you very very much! I'm playing EAEABE throughout this entire demo
Ah I wondered if it was that, I was picking up on that Collector//Emitter open note sound for sure!
I need this pedal demo on vinyl. In what reality does this sentence exist?
Great! I just started getting into pedals this year, and this one was my first of many.
I'm really looking forward to your Top 10 list for 2020. I am curious, do only pedals that were released in that year make the list? Or is it any pedal that you have starting using in that year, regardless of the release date? I'm just wondering because of both this and the Keeley Loomer were featured in videos this year, though both have been out for a while. I can tell you really like them both and hope to see them place near the top of the heap. :)
Wanted you to make this vid long ago...
The present delivers what the past forgot. Hope you enjoy the demo as much now as you would have then 😊
I really want to make a super simple board with my nocturnal for my clean tones, this for the dirty tones, and a benson preamp to combine with either for leads. I think itd be a super fun board. Especially if its just me singing and writing.
Sounds like a solid setup to me. Go for it!
@@thepedalzone I wish I had seen their limited pink version sooner. lol. It looks so cool.
Man...you do a killer job with these demos. Do you have a Spotify channel? The pedal is cool, but I can do this with my existing board. But your playing...I can’t do that.
Thank you so much! 🙏 I don’t have a Spotify channel. But you’re welcome to watch and listen to my demos as much as you want 😊
This is amazing!
May I ask you how did you record this guitar? Like why did you use?
Thank you very much! All of the gear used is mentioned in the video description. But the recording setup for the guitar was just Jazzmaster -> Black Hole Symmetry -> REVV D20 amplifier -> Tascam Recorder. The REVV D20 has built-in cabinet simulation, so just went straight from that to my recorder.
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Yaaaaaay! 🙌
How much time do you spend every day tweaking pedals?
You make other pedal demos seem so basic by comparison.
I wish you'd do a video on the eventide SPACE. I'm thinking about getting it.
Cheers 🍻
This thing looks awesome! Where would you put this thing in your signal chain? Before or after Fuzz?
It'll fit in both places. If you're going for more of a Shoegazy wall-of-sound texture, then place it before Fuzz. If you want more grand and open atmospheric textures, then place it after
Just picked up one of these...I have to say that I've had a few fuzz pedals and have never been able to get the perfect sound from them - this pedal does it. Not sure what it is about it, but it is great.
Any thoughts on where this might work on a pedalboard? I've only played it by itself but am so impressed I may have to find some space on my board...HA!
Feels strange that this pedal isn't stereo, it seems perfect for that honestly
We'll tell the creator for the V2..
@@collisiondevices hey for the V2 will you make it stereo? Thanks ✌
@@mindfall82 It's expected ! :D
Yes that's what's putting me off buying it..No stereo..good news it's on the way 😁
What a pedal! What a demo! Few practical questions: When making that last sweet jam, do you record each track and then play above them, or is it all done in real time via looper?
Also, would love to know every tiny detail on how you record your music and videos, from cable setup to software and editing. Could be a cool idea for a future video?. Keep inspiring us Stefan!
Thanks! Really happy you enjoyed the demo. All of my demo jams are recorded with a looper pedal. No DAWs are involved in the process. 😊
@@thepedalzone Cheers! That's awesome! Any looper pedal you recommend?
This is amazing! Where did you learn to play chords like that?
Thank you very much! Didn't learn it anywhere. I just fumble around the fretboard until I stumble upon something that sounds cool to me :)
Great video, I have to it played a part in buying the pedal. 😄 Now I have it since few hours, I like it a lot but I have a question about the fuzz and its setting : I do my level, which I have to push with delay and reverb to have sufficient output (on Motu M4). If I turn on the fuzz even at 12 o'clock, the sound level increases a lot. Basically if it's at 9 o'clock, the output level is roughly the same as without fuzz, but as soon as I go up, I have to compensate by lowering the input level on the Motu (full fuzz, enormously), which is not really not practical.
Is such a difference in level "normal" on the pedal, fuzz off and on? If yes, how do you manage it ? Thanks.
美しい
Thank you!
9:30 is the filthiest cover of Peaches' "teaches of peaches."
Hahaha! Rad!
