I'm starting to fall in love with their pedals. My favorite boutique pedals are Fuzzrocious for gnarly fuzz and crazy sounds but these are on the other side of the scale for tight precise sounds. "To me". Good job on your videos dude. A I'm definitely enjoying them.
While the Aquaria sounds fantastic, we just have to appreciate how good our rock dad is when it comes to dialing guitar tone. P.S. I hope you don't mind calling you rock dad all the time, even though we are probably the same age xD Cheers, or I should say prost🍻🍻
Awesome demo and great pedal! I´ve been waiting for this since i spotted it on your shelf during the boost and eq videos. :D All that is left is to decide wich one to start out with. Gotta catch them all obviously.
Shoot us an email! Happy to give you advice based on our setup and playing style! Also happy to make you a bundle price if you#re intending to get them all anyway :)
Sick. I've been shocked at how good a klon clone sounds in front of the high gain channel of my H&K Ampman Modern. I expected it to be muddy, but there's a ton of articulation.
I watched all of your videos with the TH30 (since is my current amp) and this is definitely your tone that I most like. With and witouth boost. I think that the reason is the fact that you keep the gain low.
@@SonicDriveStudioWhen I first got my TH30, I got a PPC412 with it. Big mistake, as it turned out. Since the amp is massively-scooped as is, the Orange-cab was not a good fit. It has V30s, sure, but Orange's grill-cloth is so thick and rounds off the highs so much, that the TH30 just goes under in a band-mix. As soon as I got another cab; boom. Instant presence. A modern boost with a tight-knob up-front and an EQ in the loop allso helps a lot :P
@@SonicDriveStudio I also have the TH30 and have also watched all your videos of it. And I also found this the best sound, very good! And yes .. it could be the cab.
Yeah, great sounding pedal(s) going by these demo videos...but, can we also address these graphics? First thing I thought when I saw the video come up was, "with artwork this good, the pedal better be as good". Even being a predominantly jazz guitarist, judging by these videos, their entire series sounds absolutely useful with options galore for any style called on to play. The apparent quality of these pedals coupled with the stunning design/artwork makes me and probably a lot of people want every one of them on the board, even the ones I may not use.
The only thing that confuses me is that Daniel says that it's "transparent" like a Klon. But the Klon has a mid-hump at 1kHz (a Tube-Screamer is around 720Hz I believe), so it's anything but. Dunno where the myth of transparency came from.
You’re completely right about the frequency - the mid hump only is in the clipped part of the signal, tho 🙂 The term transparent comes more from the clean signal that gets mixed in as well as the other low frequency based feed forward network that bypasses lower mids and bass frequencies around the gain stage, these two create the typical sound signature that people refer to as transparent 🙂
Would you please demo this pedal with your EVH EL34's blue channel? I have tried a number of boosts, and the two I like the most are Archer Ikon for more classic metal sounds, and the JHS Proco Rat (the penultimate setting) for a hairier, more sludgy/doomy sound. I wonder how this pedal would sound...
Its a beautiful looking pedal. Not a bad price, but still on the higher side for a clone pedal. But then again it does seem to have a bit more to it than those cheaper ebay clone Klon's.
@@SonicDriveStudioThat's actualy more "retro" :D Scooped is very 80s/90s. Modern ("contemporary" is a better term in my opinion) metal has a lot of mids. Think Djent/Progressive and such.
To be honest. 200 for a pedal and theres nothing special with it? I would rather not and I guess you guys shouldn't too. No need for pedals except MAYBE a noise gate if you have good amp, pickups, box and guitar
This is an idiotic take. Lots of legendary guitar players, with legendary gear, used pedals to help shape their signature sounds. I love the tone I get with my stock amps/guitars, but pedals are an excellent (and fun) way to expand an existing tonal palette in ways the amp itself can’t achieve alone.
This pedal ROCKS!
YOU rock!

Daniel's Aquaria Klon clone is a priority on my list of necessities.
Thanks 🔥 just finishing up the next batch 😊
It should be on top of the list is a killer pedal, love mine, it’s right next to my key & gate. Amber Spyglass next for me. 🤘
Have had one for many months... an essential tone machine on my board.

Especially this version allows you to completely fine-tune the tone with the 4 band EQ
The pedal is cool and all, but that bass tone on the first clip is wicked!
I have a Tumnus Deluxe and thought that was versatile, but...wow this is like a Deluxe Deluxe
In fact the Tumnus Deluxe was one of the pedals we took as a reference when designing this one! Love Wamplers work ❤️

Or you like the cab tone

@@danielringl8501Hm, fair enough. As I understood it with pedals: No clipping=clean boost. No EQ-curve/flat EQ=transparent.
Awesome

Have you seen the rockaway archer pedal from jrocket? Both of these interest me, but you can't separate the boost and eq on that.
Hey John, sounds great as always. Moabi is only available on AXE FX, so from the load box you are sending the signal to Axe FX I guess?
That's correct!
Amazing!!!
Forget the pedal! This song & those riffs kick ass, Mr. riffmeister!!!
Just joking, that eq feature on top = very cool indeed
Haha - thanks! But you’re right: I could probably ask Jon to demo a wet sock and he would make something great 😁
I love my RevStar RSS20 sunburst too 👍
Its a beautiful looking pedal. Not a bad price, but still on the higher side for a clone pedal. But then again it does seem to have a bit more to it than those cheaper ebay clone Klon's.
I prefer sound without high mids that pedal adds in sound on Orange amps. Much more natural and pleasant sound imho.
At least this klone has some features that are unique...
So many klones are just carbon copies, like the world needs more of those 😂
Cool
Congratulations for your videos. Continue! For punk, hardcore, grunge.. Th30 or Rocker 30?
Both.... TH30 is more modern though with more gain and more scooped
@@SonicDriveStudioThat's actualy more "retro" :D
Scooped is very 80s/90s. Modern ("contemporary" is a better term in my opinion) metal has a lot of mids. Think Djent/Progressive and such.
Depends
@@dildojizzbaggins6969 modern = scooped low mids, boosted high mids
Take for example a JCM800 and a Rectifier. Which one is more modern? There you go :)
If your are selling something, a link to the product would be useful 🙂
Fair enough: lichtlaermaudio.com/shop/aquaria
Just purchased this something tells me it's right.
It’s me! I’m the something telling you it’s right 😁 thanks for the purchase 🔥
What tuning?
Where are these made?
Berlin!
Man, you got some ripping riffs.
✌️
Never mind I found it
