I was skeptic at first on what could this pedals do to actually add value to your composition, but you proved my doubt was out of place. No surprise with GenLoss mk2, but the other two really added a lot to the music, nicely done.
That was fantastic. Damn, I've never even thought about running distortion through my Moog or even using an amp sim. i guess I'll give that a whirl now.
Such a great video found you through Your work with niko and the ndl and I honestly have to say that your track ndl overture is one of the most positive feeling orchestral pieces out there I walk to college listening to it everyday
Awesome and informative video as usual mate - I’m still in the honeymoon period with my 3rd wave, so struggling to look at anything past that right now. Plays well with the Microcosm I must say.
Been curious about the acs1 mainly to add stereo efx after synth and still have a headphone socket. Ended up with the dsm Humboldt simplifier, but the acs1 is sounding good 👍
@@MilesAwayOfficial I just got a used Gen Loss MK2 on Reverb! Have you had issues with the latency problem people are chatting about? I think it has to do with the wet dry mix setting?
@@kitespongan no, update to the newest firmware and it’s negligible. It just creates a bit of chorusing if you use it in dry/wet split mode, which is a cool effect, that is how I get the chorusing sound in this video!
Thank you so much! I kind of do have a few more of these, did you see my best delay and reverb pedals for synth videos? I am working on a reverb follow up
@@MilesAwayOfficial Thanks for your reply, mate! I have seen most of your vids, but I will check. That said, I especially liked the "out of the box" aspect of this demo - a bit like those beloved "How to be advanced" excursions into the pedal wild by @cyberattack… for keyboards. The miso spread you did with the Gen Loss Mk2 seems like a wonderful way to make the Prophet 10 stereo, innit!? Thanks for the inspiration! Would love to have more of this. Keep on groovin', bro!
Thanks for your video, I've been looking for weeks on the net for a stereo pedal with amp emulation to connect to my keyboard, it's a Roland VR-09 to play Blues, Soul, funky... and I'm setting up the lightest possible equipment to get a more vintage sound for electric pianos, clavinets and Hammond for gigs. I think this pedal could meet my needs but I can't find any video or test about it with keyboards except this video you have made so well explained. I will try the plugins you propose to get an idea as I have not found any video about it with more vintage sounds. THANK YOU
Hey Andre! I haven't played the VR-09, but from running other Synth/Line Level instruments through Amp Sim Pedals the Walrus ACS1 is by far my favourite because of the feature I show here to run a different amp and cab combo on each side. That's incredibly cool and powerful, and if you like stereo, I highly recommend getting one. If you don't need that level of stereo I've heard good things about the UA pedals, but they are only 1 amp each, so not as good of a deal.
@@MilesAwayOfficial Thanks for the answer, I will look into those pedals you mention. It's clear from the reviews I've seen that the WALRUS ACS1 is my holy grail, AND YOUR DEMO IS AWESOME. THANK YOU!!!
Try the Meris LVX delay system for crazy options. I have (2) Light Pedals one for each Oberheim OB-X8m L/R channel and I can set them same or totally different and with the OB auto panning it's fantastic.
Is the synth going straight into the ACS1? No need to reamp? I was looking information about line in - input in ACS1, so this video is very usefull. Thanks . ACS1 looks like the most interesting ampcabsim to buy. Simple, good and stereo at both sides.
The sidechain on the ACS1 jam was too much for me, but by that point I'd heard its tone. Any suggestions for a pedal that generates subharmonics layered with the audio? I know there are plug-ins, and sub-oscs on synths, but I'm sure there must be an fx pedal that sounds good, too...
Haha I am a sidechain addict. But great point about the sub - freq pedal! I would love to know if there was a clean and accurate pedal that did that. In the daw I always just layer a sine with the same midi under, but there would definitely be great use for a pedal
@@MilesAwayOfficialDOD meatbox and the Mantic Hulk. Lots of music history behind the meatbox. Both earthshaking pedals for bass guitar or synths for subharmonics. Fun tip. Put your light box on top of a subwoofer to reverberate the spring to your bass/kick.
I think you are misunderstanding how a mono in stereo out effect works. Listen on good headphones. The different amp and cab sim models create a stereo sound out of a mono source.
it would actually be a huge amount of $ work to emulate what the ACS1 is doing, its emulating 2 pairs of separate amps and cabs running in stereo, and being able to switch between em
The first pedal I was like "I don't need that" but then i heard what you made of it and was like "holy shit!". Awesome sound!
Haha glad I could help inspire! I have tons of other pedals with synths videos, if you are curious!

That’s an epic combo! I did a video on the Microcosm last year. Amazing pedal :)
it went from "eh" to "I'M DOOM GUY!"
I say it all the time but Mick Gordon is one of my biggest influences!
Great pedals and love what you're doing with them. Those first two jams sound massive! Cheers. :)
Thanks so much Matthew!

Hey man, you seem like a good dude and this video kicks ass. Amazing tunes and great explanations. Awesome job 🤘
Incredible demo with the Light pedal, wish it was stereo! I think I’m going to snag a Gen Loss soon, hopefully. Subscribed! 😅
Thanks so much! Both are great pedals, you will love em!

that LIGHT PEDAL really is cool
Pedals can increase the sounds and versatility of any instrument......great video
I agree thank you for watching! Lots of pedal and synth videos on my channel, it’s my thing :)
Excellent video! I just shared it in my Facebook group "Love Your Keyboardist".
Thank you!
Awesome demo, mate - musical, informative and inspiring. I wish you would make this a series! What do you think?!

Awesome Nikes! Thank you for the great demos. These all sound amazing. Mark Bensette Aux Bois 🇨🇦.
Thanks Mark!
not underrated but the boss CE-2 sounds amazing on... just about every synth!

An awesome distortion pedal for this MISO mode is OBNE Beam Splitter.
I just looked that up, wow that looks incredibly sick. You just gave me GAS
@@MilesAwayOfficial Ah ^^ damn, sorry about that.

The Meris LVX is so good, fave pedal! That’s a great tip! I did a whole video on the LVX if you wanna watch!
Let's Jam 😃 Amazing Demo 👌 Awesome Effect Pedals 💯 Incredible Sounds 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 They work so well with Synths 😍 🙌
Glad you like it!
@@MilesAwayOfficial Always 😍

great video! thanks for the info 🙌🎹
Of course, thanks for watching!
How did you make the cool riser synths in Cab Sim Jam?
Using the Erica Synths SYNTRX 2! Check out my video on that, this jam was sampled from that video i made.
How does the spring reverb do with synthesizer keys/pads/leads?
Pretty great! It's mono only of course, so not my fave for pads, but its awesome on leads. For pads I like lush DSP reverb
@@MilesAwayOfficial got you appreciate the response:)
Awesome video!

High praise!
One side to the left and one side to the right with a mono source ahaha

what cables are those bro?
ah Hosa. found with Google app image search
Using a pedal to simulate an amp and a cabinet because you can not get that sound any other way 😊
