I have a Boss LMB-3 a Behringer BEQ700 and a Boss MT-2 on my drummaschine for ages. I tried this, because its a cheap way to improve your sounds. But I found out not everyone was aware of that solution. And I'm doing this for over 10 years now
Interesting video! The DS-1 is optimized for midrange guitar tones and you lose most of the bass, also you get a strong hiss. Using it as a send effect to run it parallel to the original signal is a bettter option. Also there are overdrives/distortions that are better suited for drum machines like the Hustle Drive by Mooer which doesn't kill the low frequencies.
Yeah, the kids don't know how the 90s techno sound was done. This is how. And it was done live. Just pick a drum machine with single outs or at least as many outs as you can afford and then go crazy. All you need are those cheapo pedals from the Behringer and a mixer to get started. Analog mixers are going for peanuts now that all the productions rely on the digital desks. So, good times for old and new farts to get farting around.
Forget DAW's and PC based production. Go traditional and analogue. You can't beat the Boss DS-1 for sound shaping 90s inspired kick drums on the Roland Tr6s
You need a reamper from the drum machine to the pedal. And a DI from the pedal to the preamp. Otherwise impedance mismatch will kill lots of the frequencys making it sound thin
What Daw do you use? In Ableton there's a special "External audio effect" for that, you pick the output and input channels of your audio interface that you connect tge pedal to and then it works.
Fabio... thanks for vid. Any troubles running the low Z line from the drum Machine into a high z input of pedal. I am just starting to setup a bunch of my pedals and ran across a few other vids that claim that a re-amp box (like a radial re-amp) may make it sound better. Just thought I’d get your thoughts! Thanks for the content brother! T
It's not a problem at least for most of the pedals. There's science to back it up, but it's easier to just try pedals or listen to demos of them to find out. I never reamp any of the pedals I demo.
Yeah, regret every pedal that I've sold. Was just on ebay looking at the price of pedals that I've sold... most have doubled in price, and I can't reasonably get them back... my various boss dd's... argh!
If you have a Y cable you might try connecting your volca to a pedal with that, sometimes there's problems with phase cancellation when running a stereo signal into a mono input. Also check that the cable from the pedal to your interface isn't tge cause, try running sth else through the pedal.
I like to put fx on my send and return on my mixer so I can still get that clean sound for the source. Especially for delay and reverb...you know that though haha
Me too but typically distortion doesn’t go in a fx loop. It’s best to run your device right into a distortion pedal and then into a channel on the mixer.

Bro somehow your voice slipped into the video at 7:10 when you turn on the drum machine, sounds so trippy haha

Check those out thanks !
Just got my RD-8, the single voice outputs with pedals make it SO versatile
InstaBlaster.

Yooo thank you this is very informative!! I’m completely new to this so where does the sound run out from? The drum machines ?
"Hello? Is anybody there?"
Now that you should sample and use in a track!
Great veiner scent. Thanks
I always disposed the much loved DS-1. My grandma bought me this as my first pedal in like ‘88. But I just find it so trebly and harsh.

Wow he uses guitar pedals with a drum machine, mind = blown
Also I like to have the midi out of the volca beats going into the midi in of my flashback x4 so I’m able to program wacky drums
Love videos like this.
Thank you ever so much..

'reverb is best when used subtle'
hardstyle has entered the chat
dod meatbox is one of my favorites.
Do you prefer delay before reverb? I’ve heard it both ways and am still on the fence 🤷🏻♀️
I couldn't find any video in your channel that explains about taking audio from the DAW into the pedal
What Daw do you use? In Ableton there's a special "External audio effect" for that, you pick the output and input channels of your audio interface that you connect tge pedal to and then it works.
@@syntheffects So there won't be a need for those Radial boxes to change the signal level? Just manually adjust in the external audio effect
Is it possible so split a pedal to 8 voices on my drummaschine? (Vermona DRM1)
Good video Fabio 👍👍 just got to love pedals and so so many off them out there 😎👍 o and by the way good catch on the gear ,good job too 😂😂😂😂😂

Love my strymon pedal board!
Wish you would have explained how you connected the devices.
with cables :)
Hey there, great video! Did you connect them to a speaker via aux in the end or sth else?
Came for the Drum Machines but was disappointed as it was about other sound pedals 🙁
What's the name of that reverb pedal, bro?
Digitech Polara ;)
@@NoizeLondon lovely stuff! Thanks!
You can get Free Vsts for all and more of these efx.
Damn , i had like 10 of theses pedals effects back in the days i was playing guitar . I sold everything... my bad . 🤣
Yeah, regret every pedal that I've sold. Was just on ebay looking at the price of pedals that I've sold... most have doubled in price, and I can't reasonably get them back... my various boss dd's... argh!
Lol I'm subbing because you recognize GABBER music.
I like your channel, it is fresh, funny but the idea of patron do you really think that is a good idea?
What happend to taking a break???
That means you didn't watch that video till end😂
Is it normal that the volume on my korg volca bass is reduced by half when I turn on my caverns delay/reverb pedal? It feels broken to me.

Hey dude what cable you use to connect the pedal to the drum machine?
Probably an 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. TS Cable.

Yes! The DS-1 is best used in parallel like that, so you don't lose all the bass.
Haha nice =D
So panning will impossible when plugged to pedals? Thanks
??
It's mono so panning gets summed or ignored in the DS-1 bc it's mono, but will work with the other stereo pedals (2 inputs and outputs).
Impedance mismatch
