Mark - this was such an excellent walkthrough. I've learned a ton, and I can't wait to go through other content on your channel now that I've discovered you. Thanks for putting this together - I can't wait for my MKII to show up (4-5 weeks!)
Wow man. This video IS incredible! But I learned TOO much. I’ve already forgotten more than half of it and will definitely be rewatching this several times. Thank you!
Have you seen the video of the guy from the pedal zone about mood version 1? It's pure gold, it's at the same level as the one on this channel, I hope he'll do the mood mkii2 one soon
@@markjohnstonofficial absolutely. It’s just bleeps and bloops are all I hear in relation to these types of pedals. The challenge is turning all of those functions into music. You’ve succeeded there.
@@obsoletecd-rom I was thinking the same thing. All power to the bleeps and bloops crew, but for me it’s (perhaps ‘old school’) Mike Hermans-type reviews first (Rhett Shull had a good go as well), and Mark has delivered a really nice addition to the Mood mkII portfolio. Ever since Joey Landreth and Ariel Posen started using the CB stuff in Americana/bluesy/pop tunes, I think they have reached a new audience.
Took a lot of work to make this video even though it looks like you’re having fun doing it. Thanks for the time you put into this so the rest of us could get a handle on what it sounds like in a musical way. .which is the real trick. Your deep dive in the Microcosm is very much appreciated also as I’m still trying to get a handle on mine. When i want to hear how to make this esoteric tools sound musical i almost always turn to your channel. Thanks
Thank you for this excellent video. It really gave me a jump on the Mood mkii (which i got today ). I used a GFI Duophony to create two different stereo ambient loop paths; Mood on one side with an Enzo and Cloudburst, and the Microcosm with an Eventide H90 on the other, then sent the blended signal into a Strymon Iridium and on into the DAW. Being able to create a pedalboard that could leverage two independent microlooping signal paths and then blend them back into a single stereo path was an idea i had several years ago but it wasn't practical until the Duophony came out. So easy to get lost in this rig!
Solid video. Thank you. Helps me know exactly all the things I needed to for this pedal. But ALSO that intro song… so so good. If that ever ended up getting extended to a song, a link would much appreciated!
What a machine this pedal is! I bought one only a couple of weeks ago so I'm still in the phase of throwing the knobs around at the behest of my wildly experimental soul but I'll be watching your video again and again as I try to tame my MOOD to also be able to use it a little bit more "normaly". I suspect this might take quite some time 🤣. I have a couple of tracks up here now on RUclips and would love to hear what you all think.
That opening track was, always, fantastic. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I am ready to buy another album or three of your music. The rest of this video is just as good. Thank you.
Very, very informative review. Loved how you got into great detail with it functionalities. With me, the most challenging part of MOOD, MOOD MK, Habit is where to place it in the signal chain!?
I’d probably go mood, habit, mood2 to make good use of the stereo aspect of the new one and the ability to capture longer movements in mood 1 in habit.
Oh no . . . my pedal addiction is getting out of hand! There's probably a 12 step program for this somewhere, but I digress. Arguably, the best MOOD MKII demo yet, very detailed, good explanations of what the controls are doing. The MOOD MKII has been beckoning for weeks . . . if I do succumb to getting yet another pedal, almost certainly will be this one. Thanks for posting this, well done.
....such amazing presentation skills................so concise, organized, informative, articulate..............truly 'Masterful'..........oh yeah, and then there's the sound.....So good to hear your excellently nuanced playing - In The MOOD................
I’m finally getting to a point where I’m getting consistently decent tones out of my MKII. What an awesome pedal. The one thing RUclips videos don’t do justice to this pedal is the stereo spread. Once I finally got my rig set up for stereo and let ‘er rip I was stunned. And I know exaggerated hyperbolic terms are de rigueur these days but I actually got butterflies and gave a little squeal when the spread hit my ears.
I know this will be hard for you cause you definitely have crazy knowledge of the absolute ins and outs of how midi works with all the pedals you use.but for me who wish i could do as much as you can do with the midi control of these pedals.a very dumbed down video for people who kind of understand how it works but not actually how to make it work(if that makes sense)or point me in a direction where i can possibiy learn more about the midi controling of this and other pedals?love your channel and your sound is so amazing.
Love the videos. Excellent demonstration and examples. What patch cables are you using in the video? I'm always on the lookout for low profile flat cables.
Excellent demo Mark and one I will revisit to learn more. Great music as always. To be honest, I would have upgraded just based on the colour scheme alone ;-) but the improvements do seem to make it worthwhile. Is the signal path listing wrong? It doesn't list the Mood or Microcosm. Is it Mood into Microcosm, sandwiched between the DCX Boost and the delays?
i like your reserved...intensity? this is a great video. I medically want this pedal. i have the cloak from catlin bread. great pedal...but the mood? woa!
Cool ambient music, what brand of guitars are you using? I’m searching for a new guitars after years, i wanted something like the jazzmaster but I’ve tried the new fender and they are crap piece of wood. Your two in this video seems good ones. Thankyou.
Did you use a plugin for the amp or live amp(s)? Just wondering because I recently got a Apollo Twin and there doesn't seem to be a way to input stereo into the high Z.
Still working through this beast of a video if you address this question, but I see you have the microcosm on the board here as well. How would you compare the two? I'm kind of torn between both of them and unsure which way I should go. I see how they both have separate strengths and go about things a bit differently while still getting you to some similar destinations if you want them to.
opening track sooo Mogwai ❤ please, which pedal do u use for drummachine in that track? second, I understand correct, do u use a midi controller for switch the option of Mood on the panel (spread, classic, etc)? in case, which one?
Hey mark I just bought a mk2 mood and up next habit but I can’t find any videos on the pair together. Would you recommend this combo or a gen loss and mood
Great video @markjohnstonofficial! Question for you, around minute 13, you mention that the mood can "pass" a signal back and forth between channels, but in the demo, once you bypass the looper to "make some weird choices" the loop fades out and it goes silent. I'm experiencing the same thing when I try to add reverb to a loop, send it back to the looper, and then move to a different effect. Any tips on how to do this? I hope this makes sense and I really appreciate the detailed demo - super helpful.
I think the only way to keep going back and forth is to use the wet side on the delay setting and setting the feedback to infinite. This does limit it’s use. You can’t have reverb on the output of a loop, then record that in to the delay, then pass it back to the loop, because you can’t use the reverb and the delay simultaneously. What you can do is play into the reverb, record a loop with reverb, modify this loop on the loop side, record the resulting modified loop into the delay, then record it back as a new loop, so you can re-modify from there. So, technically you can keep going forever, but this does not mean that you can print any sound to the looper. The looper can not be recording while it’s playing. I could be completely misunderstanding this, as I don’t have a MkII (yet ;D). But that’s how I understand it.
@@Qwitsoender Thanks for the response dude. I'm getting close to what I'm chasing by starting with heavy reverb before i grab the micro loop and then adjusting the wet effect to solo over top the loop. Also added an expression roller. Took a while to figure it out, but loving the pedal. ✌
Incredible detail here. Very well done For those who have an existing Mood or Mark II, have you tried stacking it with any other reverbs? If yes, does it perform well? I have a Walrus Slo that I’m looking to pair with and wondering if they would sum well together.
I use the non reverb effects on mood with my UA Golden Reverberator and it works very well. Highly recommend. I also use the chase bliss warped vinyl for some super cool lofi sounds
Mark, the reverb is really nice on this. Do you think that Mood's reverb could be an alternative to something like the Mercury7 (the Cathedra sound for example)? The reasoning would be to gain the additional features of the Mood and still have a great stereo reverb without having to buy two pedals. I realize you could only use one sound at a time. Really, the same question could apply to the Microcosm's reverb, if it can replace a stereo reverb like the M7. Thanks!
I don't think anything sounds like cathedra (valhalla supermassive gets close but that's a plug in.) It's a very full featured reverb. But hey why not just get this first and see how far it gets you!
Wow adjusting the stereo spread to taste really gives a lot of options..I never considered doing this so far..yet more options..this pedal really is amazing..
I have this pedal I don’t know how to use the micro loop feature. It doesn’t record what I want. It records like the first second. Tried holding down not sure.
OK so I want to get into this ambient type playing with my acoustic guitar. I was originally thinking, a blue sky, and a freeze pedal. I like the pre-delay so I can hear the acoustic guitar first before the reverb. The question is, could I achieve all this with the mood? And then have some extra funky flexibility… Or start simple with individual never, freeze, delay etc.
Quick question on this - in TAPE mode on my MOOD MK.1, whether it’s faulty or not I don’t know, any looped audio always seems to have a chunk missing from it. As though it cuts audio immediately on first playback of the loop, then just keeps it in for every subsequent one. Do you remember whether the MK.1 is supposed to do this, or do you think mine’s faulty? I didn’t notice it on your MK.2 video!
They changed the behavior of the Length Knob in the MK2. In the MK1 it kind of slices your audio. Try turning the Length knob all the way up and it should stop doing that.
Did you try to sync the Mood with drumcomputer (midi clock)? Is it possible to make long loops, say 2-4 measures, in sync? I tried that with a Habit, 60 sec. delay, but with midiclock the only timesync possible was on every beat, not longer. Habit sold! Plenty of Mood 2 video’s on RUclips but none of them synced with a sequencer or drumbox.
This the most disappointing thing about Habit. I even tried to get around this by creating "tap" via MIDI cc's but could not get it to work in any usable way. They really need to update it so that it can divide/multiply MIDI clock internally.
Long answer; watch the cumulative three and a half hours of focused content I have on the two. Short answer; microcosm does a lot of “modifying and recontextualizing your live playing and features a full looper. Mood focuses more on three more focused and easy to grasp wet effects and a micro looper than modifies and recontextualizes stuff you’ve recently or semi recently played and allows you to pass audio back and forth between those two engines”
so right before 1 hour when you're messing with the clock a bunch....due to the nature of this pedal there is not a way to get back to the original loop? Like once you start messing with clock and all that? I guess you kinda explain in the next section. i mean the old 16 second digital delay reissue allows you to modulate and modify loops and then go back to the original loop. just wish some company would consider this more.
So many possibilities. My only reservation is how pedalboard-friendly (or not) the Mk2 can be - particularly for people who don’t use MIDI? It comes across as the ultimate desktop pedal…. have talked myself out of buying the original Mood and Blooper many times. This one feels irresistible 😂
@@adde65 Ah, sorry, misunderstood your comment lol For those without MIDI it still has 2 presets available via the toggle between the foot switches, but that's it if you don't have MIDI, as far as I know. Other than that, you'd have to use good ol' painters tape and mark down positions :D
I still don't know wtf this thing does :/ horror movie anime sounds from what I can tell.I like ambience but prolly wouldn't know if it was working or if it was defective 🤷♂
Listening to the different sounds coming out the Mood, Habit and Blooper make me feel like I’m at a pasta shape taste testing party. I find myself looking at the faces of everyone around me as they gush over the different samples and all I can think is that they all taste like FKing pasta. I don’t get it and I own two of those pedals.
That innocent looking THING spells *DOOM* backwards! Nice try Satan!
And Satan anagrams to Santa.

So many possibilities. My only reservation is how pedalboard-friendly (or not) the Mk2 can be - particularly for people who don’t use MIDI? It comes across as the ultimate desktop pedal…. have talked myself out of buying the original Mood and Blooper many times. This one feels irresistible 😂
It has MIDI, actually! The in and out is TRS, while the upper jacks are for expression and MIDI
@@Lodit24 I know it does, but I don’t :D. (Edited my original comment for the sake of clarity).
@@adde65 Ah, sorry, misunderstood your comment lol For those without MIDI it still has 2 presets available via the toggle between the foot switches, but that's it if you don't have MIDI, as far as I know. Other than that, you'd have to use good ol' painters tape and mark down positions :D
It suits me as I don't have pedalboard on the ground,I have it up high and use hands...it's too good not to have,that's my motto
2hrs?
What’s the pink guitar in the intro song?
Thats my Bunting Melody Queen T
Mood vs microcosm?? Please help
dooope
What patch cables are you using?
Ernie ball flat patch cables. The absolute best I’ve ever had.
I still don't know wtf this thing does :/ horror movie anime sounds from what I can tell.I like ambience but prolly wouldn't know if it was working or if it was defective 🤷♂
That 29 pedals hfet boost new ?
Shhhhh. It’s a secret.
Damn Bunting and Castedosa together
Jesus man
The only way to do it.
Ordered one ☝️ and I’m not an ambient person .. I love tight clean rhythm
Isn't this the same as the microcosm?
Nope
Nope
Sounds like Thrice in the best way.
Listening to the different sounds coming out the Mood, Habit and Blooper make me feel like I’m at a pasta shape taste testing party. I find myself looking at the faces of everyone around me as they gush over the different samples and all I can think is that they all taste like FKing pasta. I don’t get it and I own two of those pedals.
So expensive but nice.
