Justin Delay, from Reverb, showing delay and reverb pedals... I'm confused....
That can't be his "real" name surely. It's too much like "Justin Case". Lol
lol gotta love the internet
I can't what for the video by Bob Flanger
You're preaching to the Chorus here. What do you have to Gain by Distorting his message?
Turn the feedback down some and it’ll clear up.
It is very true that using a reverb open-up the sound. My dad who's a sound engineer for over 40 years now, like to hard-pan a two-track from guitar or synth, with a different reverb on the right and a different one on the left, and a very subtle tremolo in the middle. This actually create a slight organic volume shift between both ears that mimics how sound organically reflects on the various surfaces of a room and how your left ear never pick it as 100% the same volume as your right as the sound comes first to one or the other. It really elevate a middle-based track or mix. A bit extreme on a summing bus but sounds damn fantastic on acoustic guitar and synth. Also my favorite reverb pedal is the Digitech Hardwire one. SO underrated. It got a Lexicon chip inside and switches with like, 32 positions :O Might not have the fanciest connectivity but, from a sound man perspective, it's the best I found.
You mean tremolo applied to initial main sound?
I think I might try this
Great tip, thanks
this is a class, thanks for the tip
Magic trick: if you raise your elbow and twist your shoulder while turning knobs the effect will be 10x
"No shit Sherlock" - David Guetta
Hahahaha
Hahaha
It increases if you have headphones on, on only one ear
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your approach is so warm and inviting. Reverb makes great videos. Thanks Justin!
Make Something What are you doing here?
They might make good videos but they also allow the customers to get screwed up without any repercussions to the offending party (in my case it was the seller)
They hope they can get away with it by offering $25.00 bribe in form of credit on the next purchase.
Not buying anything through or from these people ever again.
@Gordon Rayan please shut up
Always enjoy Justin's demos, not only are they informative; it's clear that he enjoys what he's doing. Keep up the great work, Justin!
Love this guy. Knowledgeable, gives clear explanations, and his surname is actually Delay. What's not to like?
papernicolas3 he has nicer hair than me
@ROOTSCONTRA You wouldn't like Italy lol
@ROOTSCONTRA who hurt you
I’m changing my name to David Distortion
Reverb villain
Everything.
Pair everything with everything.
This is how it's been done and how it will always be 🤝
When stacking effects I always love putting all the chorus and phasers after the reverb and delay. Since its modulating the reverb output you get huge beautiful sweeps.
"well, right away, it's delay, you've heard it many many times..."
HOLY PUN BEJESUS
I love and respect your passion man. Your understanding shines through the way you wave your hands while explaining them. AND you clearly see the music on a blank space.
20 pedals that pair well with tape loops and 4 track recorders
YES!
Lol
hesh as fuck lol
Thank you for making this video Justin and Reverb.
Dude, I really like the way you are talking to us ! Not reading your script on the screen behind. Gold these days.
Wow, I learned a LOT from this one. Thanks, great post!
Awesome video Justin and crew!
gotta love the dude, his passion levels are so high
This is a really great video. Awesome job!
the ending is sick!!!! great job man!
Great video, Great tips!
My pedal chain, in order: 10 band eq -> distortion -> phaser -> chorus -> delay -> reverb. Like Justin mentioned in the start of the video, synths produce a LOT of unwanted low end, no matter what the sound is. Thus I recommend getting an EQ unit as the first unit in your chain, so you can kill a lot of the unwanted frequencies. EQ is also a great way to shape the sound in a very intuitive way. Generally I'd go as far as saying that a good FX-chain is as important as the actual synth, in terms of sound shaping.
The next FX-pedal purchase(s) for me are most probably going to be a different distortion pedal and perhaps some filter-type of an effect.
Adam King I’d assume the Mxr 10 band or a clone of it, that’s probably the most popular 10 band eq guitar pedal
What eq?
Great insightful video as always. That pyramidz is looking excellent.
Really enjoy your stuff. Thanks for sharing.
This was legit informative and interesting. Thanks Justin Delay and Reverb!
The puns are too strong today
New video from Reverb Just In about Reverbs and Synths
I killed my wah pedal with my keyboard but man that was the coolest sounding two minutes ever
How did you manage that?
that's why I would use a reamping box for that
Hipsters don't understand what impedance is... "Line Level vs. Instrument." Moral of the story, hipsters don't understand the existence of impedance.
@@RetroPlus the output lvl of synths is much higher than guitars lvls. If you don't turn the volume way down on the synth it's just to much signal going into the input.
Reece Deyoung I understand now, I've been building my own guitars now and I realized that. Guitars aren't powered so it makes sense.
This should be a series.
GREAT DEMO, love you comprehensive explanations and accompanying hand movements
Great advise throughout, wonderful video
This is seriously amazing.
I Recommend the TC-electronic Hall of Fame 2! It just sounds amazing and has a lot of nice different colours in it. I instantly fell in love with the shimmer, church and Lofi reverb of it for my Synths (the other types are amazing to, I just don't use them that often).
Excellent and well articulated...Enjoyed it. Opened a whole world of possibilities for me........Off to the Test Bench !!!............
super well done - great help :) - I've been building up a pedal collection for my guitar, bass and keyboards, found new good ideas here
Love this guys hang gestures
Really enjoyed this video,the presenter was great !!
I could listen Justin all day, someone at Reverb please give him his own show!
please!
Great video, thanks for sharing
Good stuff. I played guitar for years and loved pedals. Starting to play with synth and this is an interesting reference.
i never would have imagined a big muff sounding THAT badass on a synth
Wow. I really needed this. A pedal video where I actually learn something : o
Please make more inn depth videos about use of pedals with synths.
Awesomeness!!!❤️
Oh Justin...your facial expressions can lend themselves for so many memes 🤣 but we love u man. You know your stuff!
I thought it was interesting that there was no mention of the zoom ms70 CDR which is one of the best pedals for synths. It actually does everything you mentioned in this video in one unit and it does it well. V2 of the firmware actually stepped up the pedals game by a lot.
So maybe a “budget synth pedal” video soon where the CDR gets some love?
Cheers!
Very interestin and inspiring..thanks !!
I just recently got an akai mini play and started messing with pedals yesterday. Sounds insane reversed through my Midiverb 2. Especially the drum pads.
love using the minilogue with eventide space
Really good video, dude.
justin always clear. simply the best!!
Fantastic!
You are crazy man. Cheers for that
LOVE THIS
Great vid, Justy! 👌✨
I like using pedals with my outboard synths, too:) My fave is an Electro-Harmonix Tube Zipper. Great for tube distortion and funky wah-wah on basslines 😎
Another cool thing, for guitar sounds a la those on Jan Hammer's Miami Vice: put a long tail reverb on the synth + a heavy distortion AFTER the reverb. The tail then becomes a sound in itself 💫 Bonus points for putting another reverb after the distortion, so it has a space to exist in!
Thanks--great video
Wow. The best synth pedal tutorial I have ever seen in 30 years.
Wilderness Music awesome!you saw a synth pedal tutorial lets say..25 years ago?here?🐒😁😉
This dude cool af sweet review to show what's possible. I love it
I will consume every video you have ever, and will ever make with this guy. How are you not gonna make a delay/DeLay joke or comment though‽
11:28 awesome visual presentation of the delays, Delay :)
I have a Monologue with a Polymoon and was disappointed to not see it included and then you recruited it into the sound orgy at the en - what a treat!
Thanks a lot!
Really enjoyed the stereo on the phaser!!
Synthesizers + distortion = Retro-sounding NES/Sega-era video game
I totally agree, if you're going to use any effect on your synth, reverb is the best.
Great video. Any chance you could do a demo of mics going into pedals...not vocal pedals designed for that job, but guitar pedals....just to hear? Thanks man
For what it's worth, I've had great experiences with a Boss TE-2 (echo/reverb hybrid weird squid thing) & a EH Small Stone phaser hooked up to both analog & digital synthesizers, various types & in various ways...
I have had a tonne of fun with an Earthquaker Transmisser processing the sounds from a Korg Volca FM. Also string sounds from pretty much any keyboard or synth processed through an Electro Harmonix Mel 9 and then through an Earthquaker Transmisser next in the sequence sounds very fun too!
awesome video my friend.
Nice job Justin
Lol now I understand why musicians refer to the studio as “the lab” because a whole lot of experimenting is going on.
Awesome
if you're plugging into a eurorack system the harvestman black locust gives you fx looping, and up to four effects pedals or inserts, level and wet dry controls. and it takes care of all the impedance and level issues via built in preamps, a great little peice of kit for mixing pedals with synths
That module immediately caught my eye a while back on eBay and Reverb. Would definately want to rock one.
@@brianrodman1033 its absolutely worth it, one caveat is that not all pedals seem to play well with it, reverb, distortion and delays all seem fine but i tired a line 6 fm4 and it didnt work, although ive yet to plug a guitar/bass in as an insert, so that might do the trick. but yeah its experimental even for modular. luckily i was given a few old pedals which is what pushed me towards that module, but definitely demo pedals first before you buy anything new.
Awesomee
Speaking of predelay, with my behringer XR16 (who was not intended as an effect kit went I bought it) I like to send signal to delay and send this delay to reverb. Lot of fun experimenting with long delay and big verb.
Really good video and info ....#36 Sigurros on the Eventide Space is a great pad reverb for backing keys when you want a long drone decay that just keeps evolving. You can simply crank the Mix knob at will and get a unique soaring reverb that's just as good as anything inside of Omnisphere that eeeeeeverybody is using these days.
Great and inspiring clip. I love how you also speak with your hands and gestures 😬 My favorite to get interesting stuff out of the synth are the Red Panda Particle and Tensor. They just fuck up the synth into a wonderful partly random glitch.. that’s delicious!
ive been running my drum machine thru the EQD Rainbow Machine lately,
and ive been using the arpeggiator on my juno and running it thru the montreal assembly Count to 5 pedal
I like this guys videos
We used to run our snare drum through the line 6 with a volume pedal for gigs. Dub effects for days.
Sequences/Patterns/Loops etc+FX=An arthritis sufferer's best friends.
GFI Specular Reverb V3 is awesome with synth.
This guy makes me laugh, I don't know why haha, but he should do this more often... You can feel his enthousiasm
(I think)
It's his coke stash that makes it
Great tips on using reverb and delay with synths. Really helpful! I would add that for distortions and synths, the "sweet spot" is often "less" rather than more. You came in pretty hot with those guys!
That RAT was nice!
This man knows so much different gestures! I bet he's a good swimmer.
Big Strymon Big Sky was the first Pedal for my Moog Sub37. A very good investment!!!
Best reverb money can buy!
It's like you read my mind making this video
And now I want more pedals....damn you
this guy rocks at presenting
Nice one bud. Awesome overview for the time and has opened my own eyes quite a bit. I now understand more concerning phasers etc. I have an eventide featured here, an andoer delay which is very worth the price for its capability, an inspiring OS2 distortion but, I have something called a dub chamber which I suggest could give even more weight to your arsenal if you purchased one. I have yet to fully understand how best it can be used in conjunction with other pedals and boxes but, you have inspired me to have a go...........a point to note, I have the Korg Minilogue and while I quite enjoy it, it does seem to give off a signature that you can identify with as the minilogue. A pedal or two can rectify it. But which ones are best?
Justin, keep doing what you do. Informative, engaging and passionate best describe my perception of this presentation. Great job!
You should do a pedal review for drum machines next!
Damn Justin, your videos are always so please to watch
Wow the HX Stomp is really cool! Had no idea it sounded solid on synths, will keep it in mind if I'm looking for a swiss army knife effect unit
I use it on guitar and synth - really excellent little box
Nice videp. I think that the Zoom MS 70 CDR multi Fx was worth a mention, its popular with Synth players, is very versetile, sounds good and only £70 .... I have 2 being used as FX sends on 2 different Synth sub mixers
Absolute pedal noob here, but was just wondering, concerning multi-effect pedals - I know they offer multiple different effects, but can those multiple effects be used simultaneously? Like, for instance, one multi-fx pedal doing delay, reverb and chorus on the same source? Or is it simply that they offer the multiple effects in one pedal, but can only effect the source with a single fx at a time. Thanks in advance if you reply.
@Theorist,,,The Zoom MS70 multi FX pedal lets you stack effects,,in any order,,,in my opinion one of the best and cheapest multi fx units out there,,,i love mine,,,sounds awesome with my synths.
@@promethiousb1489 Thanks so much for the reply. I just got a Synthstrom Deluge and the MS70 might be a good fit for it.
No probs…its a great pedal,,,have fun….
@@theorist5497 Older multi-effects pedals used to offer multiple effects chained in one way and often only one type of modulation, then delay, then reverb. The Digitech RP100 is a good example of this. The Zoom MS-100BT allows up to 6 different (or the same) effects to be chained one after the other. Other multi-effects pedals will do multiple effects but only in the order shown on the board. I believe some Boss pedals are like this. RUclips reviews and tutorials are good for immediately seeing how the pedal can be used. If you want specific details, go to the manufacturer's website and see what they offer. In addition, most manufacturers offer the user manual as a PDF for download. I sometimes read these before buying a piece of equipment.
When i watch this video i imagine that i’m in music/adventure movie and Justin’s character is tricky smuggler that can persuade anyone to purchase his music gear. I like when host is actually geeky , he can tell much more than those who just read the text from screen
Genius
That Plasma Pedal sounded hella industrial, so cool
supergreat
I used to laugh at anyone who spent $300 or $400 or $500 on an effects processor for a synth. For a studio, sure, but just to run a synth through, nope, so many options just as good for far less $$$...
Then I picked up a Fractal FX8 MKII, (which new cost almost as much as a couple of synths I've bought), and decided that I should just sit down and be quiet about this topic...
hahaha :)
lol
You're right both ways . I've been watching a lot of the 60 Cycle Hum videos about affordable pedals and got some great stuff out of it , but then there's the Empress Zoia that makes me want to sell a kidney so I can buy it .
For whatever reason I find this hilarious, but the best dirt pedal I found for the Minilogue is a klon-style overdrive (RYRA Klone). I don't like that style of drive on guitar but for whatever without synth it amazing
THANKS FOR THIS...... Can you please revisit this in 2021.
Your awesome....
That would be great to produce a video dedicated to pedal power supplies... I'm totally lost !
...a little bit off topic: will the Korg Minlogue's sequencer allow for live performance of songs with structure such as Verse/Chorus/Bridge/Verse? Thanks!
23:00 how to get a FOH guy shut you down in 15 seconds😂
Lmfooooo
please make a video of effects for pianos and Rhodes!
If using multiple effects pedals, is there a particular sequence order to connect them to get better sound? Ie: reverb, then delay, then chorus? Or different ordering?
