  • Guitar, Synth and drum machine demo of the enigmatic and otherworldly modulation device that is, the SolidGoldFX Oblivion Quad Flanger.
    Available for purchase at: thepedalzone.c...
    With 3 different flanger modes, ranging from spacey through-zero to a massive and modern quadruple flanger, 3 different wave shapes, tap tempo, expression and cv in and an insanely cool degrade mode, which lets you introduce lo-fi bit-crushed textures into the modulation, it quickly becomes apparent that the Oblivion isn’t your run-of-the-mill flanging device.
    This is a flanger that seeks to predict the future instead of recreating the past, and I absolutely love it for it!

    I never would have considered combining a flanger and a bitcrusher. That is ingenious.

    Wow! You got some really great tones out of that thing.
    I would have probably written it off as just another Flanger that I don't need, but I really did like some of the Chorus-ish, rotary-ish, vibe-ish stuff that you were playing.

    • @thepedalzone

    • @thepedalzone
      @thepedalzone  4 года назад +1

      CV always opens up fun creative doorways! And thank you for the kind words about that guitar part. I really enjoyed coming up with that progression as well 🙏 Drums + Flanging has always been cool actually, but now you can add freaking bit crushing on top of that at the same time. GAME. CHANGED!! It just sounds so good! As always, thank you for the kindness and support, my friend. Always means a lot ❤

  • @nathanbalysh7158
    @nathanbalysh7158 4 года назад +4

    Great demo! You really explore "out of the box" possibilities here. Not crazy on flangers, but this sounds more versatile and interesting than most flanger pedals I've heard. Plus, bit crush is always an instant win for me.

    • @thepedalzone
      @thepedalzone  4 года назад +2

      I'm not crazy about flangers either, but I love the Oblivion. Like I say in the beginning of the video, this is not your run of the mill flanging device. This thing is a sound designers dream flanger. So much fun! And yes, that degrade function is where it's at!

      The pedal companies set a contracted date upon which these pedal review channels will release their video to debate the new pedal. i.e. it's not a coincidence that two or more channels review the same pedal on the same day.

      @thepedalzone  4 года назад +2

      I’ve said “I hate flangers” a lot of times. And I still stand by it. Classic flangers aren’t for me. But some creations stand out and take flanging to new unexpected creative places. Those flangers include the EQD Pyramids, OBNE Flat Light and now the SolidGoldFX Oblivion. So I guess there’s 3 flangers I like now 😊 Happy you liked the demo 🙏

    Ahhhhh that's crazy, the guitar part is as good as the synth moment. I think that each pedal has a kind of specific music style that goes along with it and you seem to know in advance which will be the best example.
    Please never stop your demos though you seriously put our budgets at risk.

I also used an Aston Origin back in the day when the channel was starting out. You just can't go wrong with Aston. You get incredible value for the money.

    Funnily enough, I pondered myself the question when I was playing the Boss Phaser, probably PH-3? with stage selection, years ago, when I thought... If phasers can have multiple stages... Why don't flangers have that? And this pedal makes us ponder: why wasn't there a multistage flanger like this before?

  • @spaghettieyes
    @spaghettieyes 4 года назад

    Hey Stefan, like always great demo. Would you say this pedal has decent chorus/vibe capability with the regens at 0 or does it only half-heartedly do chorus/vibe and is mostly a super-flanger at heart? Torn between this and the Digitech Nautila. Thanks!

    • @thepedalzone

      I think this pedal does lovely chorus tones. Especially in dual flange mode. Maybe not as shimmery as your standard chorus, but definitely lush and wide 😊
