Holy shit it's Michael Stevens
Vsauce here : *proceds to fcking crush a bass guitar*
Hey Vsauce Michael here! *(Proceeds to fucking demolish a bass riff)*
Ye
I'm a Simple Boy. I see Michael from Vsauce playing the bass and I hit like
Thanks for the joke, you're free to go.
David Erro Joke's on you, Michael also plays bass.
This joke has so many layers it's impressive
Tree tops ! ! !
Can't like comment cuz it would ruin that perfect 420
I love how a Dingwall can sound like anything from a growly beast to straight up MIDI sequencing.
The tone he gets for Flatline is literally the greatest I've ever heard. I wish he was still with Periphery.
He pretty much still is lol
He leave officially the band, not just for touring.
But c'mon, they're still friends and Nolly helps to record Hail Stan.
He still does the bass work. He’s kinda in, kinda not. He’s definitely amazing though!
@@jacobesmagobes8664 So basically he's Schrödinger's bassist.
@@TierRune take my like damnit
This is the bass tone I've been trying to get for a long time. It's been in my head forever, and every time I hear it I get goosebumps. There is literally no other sound I like better than a Dingwall plugged into a Darkglass pedal. It's perfect. I should have my B7K soon, to use with my Stingray. I'm so excited I fell like I'm going to jump out of my skin!
5 years later, the bass has changed from a Stingray to a Harley Benton MP-4, but I still use a Darkglass Alpha Omega pedal (the Photon now!) as the cornerstone of my tone.
I don’t have pedals and junk. Pretty much just a low end bass I rarely use. But I’d totally get this thing.
@@drphalanges1520 I'm planning on getting the Alpha Omega pedal. But i only use an average Cort Action V bass. Do you think it'll work great?
@@keyikush yes. I also use a Behringer BDI-21 (SansAmp clone) and both together make the best tone in my opinion. But if should sound good no matter what.
@@drphalanges1520that's what I do too lol. It gets very close to this nolly tone when you use them both together
hey vsauce michael here
Hahaha!
Came to comment just that. Too late
same here
Romeo Amador Guzman Today we will be taking a look at this wonderful phenomenon called djentology discussed by Prof. Thall in his book Needs More Strings
i like memes you went full savage mode
This tone is MEAN!
Damn, all that downpicking during Flatline...
Jeez yea. I wonder why that is? String tone purposes?
Lucas Monastirsky I WISH I COULD LIKE THIS COMMENT A MILLION FUCKING TIMES. ME AND MY BUDDY GEEK OUT SO HARD TRYING TO DOWN PICK THE WHOLE SONG OF MASTER OF PUPPETS THAT SHIT IS HARD
thats nothing compared to Jason newsted.
how can i speed up my downpicking?
practice at slow tempo
Nolly - *pulls out six string*
Me - *jizzes everywhere*
Cant take you anywhere
Captain Pie Fox oof
@Trey Fontenet If you aren't jizzing to Nolly's bass tone on a 6 string, I think you need to get that looked at.
Djizzes*
@Cock A Doodle Doo Nah bro. It's completely straight.
So I guess I'll be the first point out the mildly amusing fact that Nolly, from Periphery, a band that released a dual album "alpha/omega", is demoing a product called the alpha-omega, which has nothing to do with the band or the album.
What about Mark's signature pickups? The Seymour Duncan Alpha/Omega.. also a product without any connection to the band or album :D I am waiting for a cymbal serie from Matt. The Meinl Alpha/Omega Cymbals :D
Yeah Alpha/Omega is a pretty overused concept/name in music though.
Don't forget Karnivool's song: Alpha Omega too!
That's where the name of this pedal comes from.
It was modelled after songs like Goliath or Simple Boy, so Alpha/Omega also has relatively little to do with the name of the pedal aside from its dual-voicing-distortion.
the best thing about nolly is every time theres a new video of him playing bass, he's improved his tone, he's always constantly tweaking and making it better.
The amount of downstrokes on here is simply ludicrous. This is pure dedication to tone.
0:35 Absolomb - Periphery
1:18 The Way The News Goes - Periphery
1:55 Flatline - Periphery
enjoy
go up!!
In addition to being a phenomenal bassist, this guy is the absolute cream of the crop in terms of producers/engineers in the prog/math style these days. His drum production is especially legendary -- the new Devin Townsend record has got him at the pilot's booth, and it's got the best rhythm section production that I've heard since Eddie Jobson.
I'm a simple man; I see Nolly, I click like.
Are you sure you're not a Simple Boy?
Underrated!
I was going to say Simple Boy, DAMN IT!
And you'll get good
I'm a simple man. I see a comment about liking Nolly, I click like
A darkglass tone capsule into a darkglass...epic
It is not wrong to use that. Better use your ear than just looking at the brand name if you want to make a tone
Man the bass riffs from Flatline are Godlike!! 🤘
i wish the bass tracks on the album sounded like this
Pretty close, just lower in the mix.
ye a little more punch to these performances too
I thought the Absolomb was better on the album
I prefere the tone on the album, but this is good too.
Right!? It would be so awesome. Maybe Nolly could make a solo album so we get to bathe in this bass tone.
You can see how well setup his bass is. I love it. It must feel great to play.
Hey Darkglass- Put out a new video everyday please because these demos (Nolly/Stockman) are awesome. Such great bass tones.
Sounds dope! I can listen to this ALL DAY
Recorded the 3rd album with my band Arakara with this Pedal because our sound engineer had it and i immediately bought it after we were done. The BEST tone I've ever gotten for my bass and it is a staple on my pedal board🤘🤘
Just checked some of your band stuff and got hooked with "Hell Arrow"
Such great tone and I love that bass too
Everything you touch and do sounds amazing
What a fantastic demo and playing. You made me purchase this pedal!
He is so proficient with the pick!! And the tone is butter to my ears!!
LOVE the growl and the crispness.
The way the news goes bass line makes me want to just tear up. That line is so DAMN EMOTIONAL.
I've heard of Periphery, but I have not listened to their music. That will change after watching this video!!!! Fantastic!!!
nothing makes me happier than finding a new nolly video
Great tone as ever, and the consistency of Nolly's playing honestly beggars belief. That downpicking in Flatline almost sounds like a sampled picked bass (in a good way - it provides a solid foundation to build the song on top of).
I must own this pedal! Nolly has killer grooves and tone!
I love Molly's bass tone it's one of my favorites along with Ryan martinie's
With all these high gain fuzz boxes and demos I yearn for more of the core bass sound blended in. Alas.
Holy hell, ok, I'm ordering one. I'm sold after the various demo's.
That bass sounds so damn good
Really Martine sounding set up. I dig it.
What an absolute beast tone!! 🔥
Love that sound.
I forgot all about the pedal and got lost in pure Nolly bass-shred heaven within seconds of the demo starting.
I only play guitar but that is one seriously good bass tone!
The tone of this man is all I dream of as a bassist...
To be honest, all i heard was Nolly's sound!! That plum kicking thump and zing.....like a boss!
Man, I spent the last two years buying and selling every Darkglass pedal except this or any of the AO series pedals. I couldn't get any of them to sound the way I wanted (even though they're all exceptional pedals). Every RUclips demo had a flubby messy tone and I bet in those cases it was user error. This video, with headphones, convinced me this is the one. I went with the AO Ultra and I'm blown away. It's got SO SO much gain, and yet it shines at low gain and a lot of dry blended in. The EQ is exceptional. Notice he's got the blend around 50% a lot in this video, and in The Way The News Goes he's even got the drive set at 0. I believe RUclipsr Rulefuzz does the exact same thing. This is the one for me. The EQ is so good alone that I don't even touch my amp's EQ anymore. There's also a ton of options you can get for cleanish sounds by playing with the Growl and Bite switches, which to my ear act like a Microtubes X in a way. Sounds like the growl setting distorts the lower frequencies and the bite switch distorts the super high frequencies. Lots of fun to be had using one or both of those options OFF in some cases. Leave it to Nolly.
Actually the unit distord all frequencie, with a strong mids presence. But the Bite boost high mid (I think before the drive) and Growl is a shelving boost (before too maybe). But I clearly prefer that over the X serie or the B7k, which was a great thing but I have my tech21 who did a better overdrive to me, and that AlphaO is way more mids focus, full and gnarly sounding (I think the amp like distorted tone is what I like, because in the AO there is a blend of different unit including a Darkglass B7k for the lowend growl and a Tech21 XXL :D )
I find myself watching this video every day^^
Oh yes, we need more
I've watched this video like 50 times by now
I'm eagerly awaiting the day that 6 string ng is on the market.
I like how his hair has slowly shifted from the top of his head and onto his face. its truly a marvel of science
I love that he shouted out John Stockman from Karnivool. Those guys are my favorite rock band of modern time. And Stockmans bass tone is ultimate.
Soooo good...infact i really like that tight low B.
Your bass guitar looks amazing
Whatta sound, whatta melody!!!🔥
Cool sound, cool plectrum technique.
I saw periphery live a few weeks ago and they played to a fucking pre-recorded bass track. Never been so disappointed.
Mans tone is SO GOOD.
I'm too late to make a Vsauce joke.
You can still make Adam Neely jokes
2 years later and I am too late sir. My regards to future generations who will also look for this joke.
1:54 - Well that escalated quickly! The song should have been mixed like this with the bass hogging the mix and the guitars in the back.
There is something called balance which makes the mixes overall just better
@@umrasangus Naugh, push the guitars down in the mix, the bass should be the main instrument in this song (i.e. Periphery - Flatline). The era of the bass just being just an accompanying instrument needs to die.
Damn I want your gear. Sounds incredibly amazing.
I like how they immediately started with "does it djent"
i love the sound
Tone is freaking awesome
Sick sound! Sick!!
that 6 strings bass though
Brutal. Awesome.
Hey, Vsauce! Michael here.
Leonidas Desert And today's topic is **DJENTS HARD AS FUCK**
I was thinking the same thing
came to this video just to say this
Λολ
I love it!
Wow it adds two strings on your bass !!! Litterally
No
@@moriyokiri3229 why not?
i knew you guys would have nolly demo on this
Is playing with a pick recommended when using overdrive/distortion? I guess it adds clarity, definition and attack?
Not really. What's recommended is practicing.
Yes. Unquestionably.
Yes, it also give aggressiveness to the tone
Look at that low action. Seems so comfy
Fun fact this is the pedal nolly used for the official recording of absolomb(and likely most of p3)
That's a great looking bass Nolly is playing.
I can honestly say, this is the first fanned fret bass I have seen
Great review and performance. Interested to know what brand / type / thickness of pick is being used???
my heart cannot bear the weight of the knowledge that I will never be able to own and play a dingwall + darkglass combo...
6sentient not with that attitude, strive to make a change in your life. You can do anything if you set your mind to it (as cliche as that sounds)
@6sentient. I thought that. Saved up, sold some shitty bass stuff. Now I have an NG2 and a B7. Took a year or so. If you DECIDE you'll never have that, you won't.
It’s not a yacht.
I have a novel suggestion...
How about finding your own sound instead of trying to emulate everyone else's?
How well do these types of pedals work with solid state bass amps? I wanna use one of these with my Ampeg combo amp.
So good
It sounds like the bass is exploding every time he hits the strings
so what set up sounds do u like most from those examples? i probably the one
when you see that beautiful NG-2 6 string and you start to wonder when they'll start selling it but then you remember how long it would take to save up for one.
If only every metal music have this bass boost sound would be incredible
Any info on what cabinet IR Nolly used? I know that is creating a huge part of this sound, which sounds amazing!
Still finding out. I'm using Neural DSP Darkglass IR section only with this pedal and still can't get this tone.
does he use the 6 string just as one octave below the guitars, or is it just with two more strings added to the bottom like an 8 string guitar. cuz the songs played on a 7 string guitar. im confused
I have a dingwall NG3 6 string bass, this pedal, these settings and added a cabinet IR and compression in post and cant get anywhere near the focused tone used in flatline - not even close.
There is some tom-foolery happening in this video.
i deciding myself between Darkglass 900v2 or Darkglass alphOmega900 and i dont know which one amp to get.do u have any recommedations?
Is it an optical illusion or do the frets fan out over the length of the neck?
Well done
NG2 6?
Todd Bogley Yup, it's a thing. Last I saw they should be in production in 2018. I've also seen that they'll even have an option for the triple pickup configuration!
sounds sick nolly is a beast
HEY THE FIRST NOTE OF THIS VIDEO IS THE SAME NOTE TO THE SEINFELD THEME.
1:53 I wish I could make my 4-string transform into a 6-string....
For using with Dingwall only*
Big pedals need a bigger light to see if it is on, i barely can see the little light (pd: where the hell os the overdriven tone? I can hear a lower end punched, but then?)
Is it some type of optical illusion or the action of this bass is damn low..
Oh man, Nolly has to be the most accurate picker out of the 4 axe guys in peri, damn that was tight!
Can we know what IR was applied? That would be very cool!
Are his strings as close to the fret board as the video makes it look?
I've asked a couple times and have had no response.... whats the difference between the B7k and this?
Oh, i need a Dingwall! Got the pedal...
