Great! Gonna buy it, play it, not sound like Knobs, forget it, watch another knobs video and repeat forever.
Yeah he mixes these videos really well. Not to mention half the time pedals like this serve no real purpose other than its just cool. Synth can make all those tons.
You think that’s bad? Every pedal purchase ever reminds me that I can’t play half as well as Stefan from The Pedal Zone.
Hah hah hah... Yep, that's about the extent of it... Bought into a Fairfield Shallow Water some 18 months back as a result of the Knobs wizardry... It's hung around on and off my board ever since... Never could get it to sound as good.. even wondered whether I had a duff or off calibration unit.
Sold it last week.
Never look back.
Story of my life
@@Titantitan001 Yes synths can make those tones. Which would be a relevant statement if this were not a pedal MADE FOR GUITARS.
Petition for a Knobs compilation album
hell ya
I would like to sign your petition
Word.
YES!!!!
plzz
This is genuinely an innovative pedal. It’s feels GOOD knowing something new can be done.
I agree. The reverb pedal to rule them all?
i think youre correct. ive never heard a pedal do this and it doesnt sound derivative of anything else
Knobs videos are music therapy. Thank you, Knobs
I second. This just help break a day long bit of anxiety that's been building. Thanks!
Yeah it feels so good when you get one of those pedals and realize you weren't lacking the pedal but the skills.
This video contains some of the most beautiful and enchanting sounds ever heard in this world.
Knobs, I’m convinced you and my credit card company are in cahoots.
I saved for a few months. Found a UK store and haven't been able to stop experimenting since this beautiful little thing arrived. It's absolutely beautiful and inspiring, vocals, synth, and cello; whatever i've thrown at it so far. Thanks to knobs for pointing me in this direction!
To the people complaining that this mono… you should know better! This pedal mixes itself and there's so much magic in double tracking with this baby. love love love.
Yeah people complaining about that basically are newbies, slunderstand that not everything needs to be stereo and something like this pedal,…..you don’t want it to be stereo because it will absolutely take up all the room in your mix. My opinion
@@LoVeAmBiEnT unless it's the only pedal in your mix then it def should be stereo, i mean it's called a freakin DUAL reverb. it has two separate channels of reverb that sound totally different. of all the extra shit CBA adds to their pedals, they couldn't make a dual reverb with stereo outputs at least? i mean it could have had both mono/stereo options so easily. just........why
@@LoVeAmBiEnTI have found your comment to be true
9:18 sounds like the intro to Daydreaming by Radiohead
That's
I'd like to just lay down and put my favourite records through the Dark channel's Mod at 100% wet
I have heard this one several times, but always feel that you did an excellent job Knobs with explaining how the pedal works while also making very musical examples at the same time (no mere demo).
and here i am, still saving up for my thermae :(
food is overrated
Itll still be totally worth it though!
It's taken me 6 months and I haven't scratched the surface with my Warped Vinyl. CB are good value for money
@@andrewtucker94 oh yah, no doubt, all there pedals are crazy im depth! It's just not often that i have a spare $500 around you know ? :/
Keep saving, man. The thermae is awesome.
I’m actually going to die
Hey don't though
We all will
@@Dismoeyy the difference between the living and dead is the time you check in on them. We will all be food for worms one day, and nurse their young in our rotting guts. A home for the spineless. ;)
I'm 52 seconds in, and I'm already going through the same thought. Woah...
@@burninglcd Worms ain't eat ashes. One up them.
IDK if they have best pedals but they have the best demonstrations of their pedals!
How can anyone listen to this demo and complain? It's one of the most unique guitar effects I've ever heard. And no I don't own any expensive or experimental gear.
9:36 is what sold me I NEED this pedal
Suddenly I desperately want to hear Omar Rodriguez-Lopez tearing through some Chase Bliss pedals. Can't imagine the sounds he'd squeeze out of these beautiful boxes.
On this channel Like & Play should be merged into a single button. Or knob
Knobs, just make a 1 hour continuous album please. You choose the most pleasant chords every time, even when they're meant to be creepy…!
Oh my fuckkk I need this
When all other music just wont do it for ya anymore, thanks knobs
beautiful sounds
5 years later...given the rate at which CB is releasing MKIIs as stereo, there is now hope for all of us "newbs who don't understand stereo mixing" of getting a Stereo Dark World in the future. I will happily let this sound take up all the space in my mix...for a little while at least!
Tomorrow!
@@darionbuck4614 nope
Dark World was just discontinued yesterday, could a stereo MKII version actually be on the horizon?
If only i could miraculously end up with all of the chase bliss pedals without the 50 years of saving up for them
I love the aesthetic of your videos
Came here convinced by Knobs that I must have a Red Panda Particle. Leaving confused by this Dark temptation.
Knobs, why do you torment me so?
The only Chase Bliss pedal I can afford is Faves...
man this channel demos are so insanely good
I'm almost angry at how cool this is and how good it sounds, but overall pleased that Chase Bliss keeps blowing my mind
Basically, the same design concept as the Brothers pedal, except that instead of the Brothers' stacked drives, it offers stackable reverbs. I respect the comments here regarding the absence of stereo, but quite honestly, very few average guitar players make use of stereo options, even when they are available. I regularly have to explain to guitar players what they can do with their stereo pedals. For some players, stereo is a must have. For others, it's a nice-to-have. But for a much larger share, it is unfortunately a WTF ("what's-this-for?").
I await, with great interest, demo videos using the expression pedal input and the rear skirt dipswitches.
Mark Hammer Guitarists in general are really ignorant people in terms of technological use. Most don't engage in critical thinking, and thus, don't know how things actually work and resort to using 'recipes' instead.
I wouldn't be *quite* that critical of guitarists. I'm sure folks who engage in studio recording make a point of learning about the stereo capabilities of pedals. But for many gigging musicians, "stereo" implies lugging around two amps, which not only increases expense, but stage requirements and back-strength requirements as well (and a bigger car to bring those two amps to the gig). I lament their lack of interest in what a stereo pedal offers, but fully understand why they don't pursue that avenue. People are generally only as smart as life requires them to be, and in the ays life requires them to be.
Mark Hammer Mark Hammer Your last thought I found very wise. Nonetheless, I'm not expressing myself as a gigging musician but as a sound explorer. I tend to get very nerdy (technical) and philosophical about these things and often see very outdated or unpractical information being spreaded by these people, where many 'solutions' involve buying and selling stuff instead of understanding some very basic principles and use them to modify what they already have. Guitarists themselves are their own worst enemy.
@@unoaotroa Thanks for the nod. I think we agree fully. People tend to ration their curiosity, allocating a little more of it to this than to that. Again, I lament what they are missing out on, but understand that it's their priorities, not mine. Joel and I have had many discussions about the need to demo and explain - so as to encourage - how the dipswitches and expression pedal can be used. He's made some efforts, but there much of the lead-a-horse-to-water-but in the guitar world. I imagine plenty of his customers have never gone beyond the top-mounted knobs and switches. But then there are even more people who have bought pricey synths and never gone beyond the presets the unit came with. Like I say, folks ration out their curiosity.
Would be soooo awesome if it was stereo though. Those sounds are amazing. It's literally all it's missing unfortunately and it would really make THAT much of a difference as it comes to recordings. Still cool asf.
Blizzard birds of feather caverns and sweet unborn stratospheric microbial primor-dials!
:o
Totoro !!!!! \o/
absolutely lush
I pretty much knew I was going to buy this on day one as soon as read "Dark" "Chase Bliss" and "Reverb" - Knobs just poured gas on the fire.
pretty much decided i needed it before i even heard it lol.
I was waiting for this. Glad we get to know your take too. Awesome Pedal, awesome sounds!
NEW KNOBS BABY
Ahh finally back to pedals!
Well done.
I just remembered why I don't need a modular system.
Why?
I have a modular system and a bunch of pedals. They are like comparing two continents. They have a lot of the same things, but it doesn't take a lot of looking around to see how generally different they are. There is no complex modulation or step sequencer stuff here. Yes, you do get some of the twiddly ambient sounds that are the atmospheric ballpark most people interested in modular are going for, but in order to be good with either, you have to _really_ know your gear, and there is just no where near the modulation craziness of modular synths in pedals. You can create a ghost in the machine with pedals, but you can build entire worlds of sound with modular without multitracking or looping. It's like comparing a finished painting to a box full of paints and brushes.
@@daemonelectricity Thats a good analogy. What I would really like is some pedal that is as powerful as a modular synth but in a pedal body.
This sounds incredible crazy!!
If I owned this I probably wouldn't leave my house for a month
I think you jinxed the world
say sike right now
@@itsmemattt definitely glad I bought this 😂
Saving as we speak
Oh my!!! This world is perfect!
Sounds amazing! I love how the dipswitches are easily accessible.
Justin Vernon would love this.
wow. this thing sounds alien and unusual and strange and beautiful.
I am so late to the party, but... HOLY MOLY! Very glad I didn't push BUY on Empress just yet.
Gwt with the times bro. This pedal was not very well received. People do not like the spring,plate and hall side. Empress reverb is waaay better
Outstanding!
This was a very nice sounding/looking pedal and Knobs always does very professional and friendly videos. These 'boutique' pedals are great but you can easily spend a fortune on them. Laptop/tablet+usb audio interface+VCV rack maybe a more affordable way to go.
Maybe more affordable, but “does it SOUND better?” is the ultimate question.
Beautiful
thanks knobbles
Put out an album of all of these pedal demos. I'd buy that!
Dark is like the cookie dough chunks and chocolate chips, World is the ice cream itself. They make each other bigger and better than they would be alone. Best reverb pedal design I've seen in a while. It's too bad it isn't stereo but I can live with it because it's phenomenal sounding
Dang dood! Knobs got serial #2!!
as always amazing presentation of a great new FX unit
wow, fantastic pedal it seems!
That Freeze mode sounds much more organic than the EHX freezers. Maybe time to replace my SuperEgo. This sounds better and does more.
Look at the Infinite Jets too, that's another SE-killer, but obviously quite a bit more expensive
@@saint-cetacean the demos make it sounds very glitchy. I'm hoping for something that sustains smoothly, but not with the glassy sound of the SE.
@@victoreijkhout6146 you should be able to do pretty simple freeze sounds with it too iirc
ooo need to run some tape loops through this thing!
Oh yes sir, can't wait for that!
Do it please. You have those magic tapes
I like the simplicity and compactness of it and the tones are gorgeous but the cost is a real dealbreaker. For example, the Boss RV-500 (check out the knobs demo) and Source Audio Ventris are both dual reverbs that sound amazing, have a lot more engines, more onboard presets, better interfaces, 5-pin midi and are - wait for it - in stereo. The one thing that sets the DW apart is its Mod engine and it’s available as a standalone pedal (in multiple iterations at this point - the latest one itself even being in stereo) with far more parameter controls.
Fab pedal, I own the eventide h3500 plus the Eventide space, and h9 Max they’re the best Reverb’s I’ve ever heard and they’re all stereo. Alas this sounds blooming awesome and why worry about stereo when you can just send it through two channels of a mixer and pan hard left and right adding if you like other stereo modulation or delay to the signal?
Being mono for me is not a deal breaker at all. Chase Bliss are next level perfection!
Amazing.
Nice.
I'm not a BEAR
This is amazing. A modulation lovers wet dream. Or maybe wet nurse.
honestly i had dark world listed on two sites for sale, and I watched this video with the intention to convince me not to sell it, and less than 5 minutes into it i ended both listings lol. thanks for the inspiration.
haha me too
@@tendingtropic7778 it's amazing how different pedals are today than they were like 10 or 20 years ago. Now I'll have a pedal for years, read the manual multiple times, and still not have it dialed in until after like 3 youtube tutorials lol. (meris enzo is the biggest culprit of this)
oh my god this pedal is fucking amazing
love it.
I like demo videos where a guy comes on says "hi", and immediately goes ahead to explain and demo the pedal.
Very interesting.
Been waiting for this 😬
Very ethereal, I got in touch with my inner buddha
has anyone tried connecting a cheapy kids toy keyboard from the 1980s and running it through a pedal like this? i bet it sounds amazing.
Heresy, I love it
I need this
Finally a Knobs video. Let's gooooo!
I love your vids and I don't even own a guitar anymore. Just wanted to let you know.
I hope they make stereo version of dark world :(
Great demo and looks like a great sounding pedal. I’m stoked. This and the thermae are ambient wacky godsends. CBA hitting it out of the park consistently. Yes I also might have liked stereo as an option but it’s not a deal breaker by any means.
Man I would love to see what the guitar player is doing. Just so I could hopefully learn their technique.
Right like that weird poppy raindrop type stuff
Looking forward to it. I'm a fan of your videos & Chase Bliss, so this is really cool. I like the fact that a loop can still be kept pure if desired. Looks great, too (go with that)! Will there be a one-shot option so some samples are not automatically looped? For suggestions: TRS jacks to support both balanced & unbalanced applications, instrument/line/mic level switches for both I/O. Another thought: what about having a microSD card that can be unstalled internally as a secondary bank/onboard librarian? A user could have several banks of loops or samples for various applications (guitar, vocals, sound effects/samples, certain performances, etc.). The user can load one bank at a time to the Blooper's 1GB internal storage for immediate access from the controls. It could be handy for how some users arrange their archived loops and for last-minute changes to a setlist.
master!
Please! Release the album!!! I'm desperate!
Wonderful as usual. I'm torn between this and the Neaunaber expanse system...
Gerting a Knobs video as a pedal manufacturer is like a free 10M$ campaign
The sections at 1:48 and 9:45 are some of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard come from a single pedal, and a guitar. I'm sold on it. As soon as I can get some cash up, I'm going to get one.
any chance you could tell me what the dip switch settings were at those points?
this totally beats listening to annoying riffs like other pedal videos. this guy actually lets the pedal speak for its self.
HYPEEEEEEE
this effect could rearrange some artists' pedalboards down to this one effect. Im thinking Eric Chenaux or some of Brian Eno records.
I often spend a few daydreams, on what a dark world mk2 might be.
What guitar do you use for these? Not like it matters too much once the effects really kick in... or does it?
Knobs.... if you were me, and didn’t have any decent Reverb pedal, would you hold out for the Dark World, or buy a Empress Reverb? That’s what I had my eye on, but then I heard this.....,
Resuming the video: twist the knobs until you find something that fits your mood
I would really love to see what notes Nd things are being played on the guitar to get these things to happen. I love what I hear but wonder what’s being done in order to achieve the sounds
This seriously transcends "gear demo".
Who you sleeping with Knobs to get 00002?!
Chris Newman he‘s got 86000 subscribers, thats pretty good reach, he doesnt need to sell his body for stuff ;)
Joel Korte, clearly
I joke but Knobs and Joel are good friends, not surprised.
Plot twist; Joel is Knobs.
Omg mind blown. That's why knobs wears a mask and isn't in same shot as Joel.
Just seen this on their instagram.
thank you daddy
Its 2020 and I still dont know if those were dumplings in that bag.
Hope to see an MKII with Stereo.
With this now discontinued, I hope this becomes reality.
@7:01 Euphoria - Fairytale Landscape!! :)
Oh, carrots will be eaten.
