- Isa Holliday & Jelle Harde talk about their favourite bass and guitar gear covered in cat hair! Since we get tons of questions about our gear used on our records and live, we decided to make this little video.
If you have any questions please ask below in the comments!

I've been to many concerts in my life. Small ones, huge ones. I even saw Tool last year and that was pretty amazing. Nothing, absolutely nothing, compares to seeing Slow Crush. I've never wanted to re-live a concert more. It truly was magical and I can't wait to see you again in Nashville!
🖤💜 thanks Jason
One of my favorite bands ever. Also super chill in person.
Thanks for your gear talk! It’s so interesting! I can’t wait to see you guys in concert again! Greetings from Germany!!
hope to see you soon!
I saw you guys live not that long ago. You were incredible! I would absolutely love to know what types of lights you use!
I only discovered you yesterday. I watched the live session at AB and I was impressed by the huge pedalboards. I immediately fell in love with the beautiful, lush but at the same time heavy sound. Really loved this gear rundown, wasn’t boring at all. You are awesome people! Thanks!
Thank you 🖤💜 kind words
Saw you guys in Columbus, Ohio last night. It was amazing to see you live and watch Jelle work that massive pedalboard! It was a privilege to watch you perform! 🙏🏼
Very cool to finally see what you're doing to make such a recognizable sound! Would you say that you're writing is more influenced by your effects or are your effects influenced by your writing?
Both certainly go hand in hand. New effects can spark new ideas and new ideas can call for new effects (any excuse to buy more pedals, am I right?! 😉)
The cat hair adds a lush subtle fuzz with a mild spring verb that just adds a bit of coloration to the main tone….
🤣
You guys are unique, and I love it!!!!
i want that glow fuzz!!! one day I'll be on time to buy it ahah Amazing guys,!! Thank you for playing my fav smashing pumkins riff!!!
Thanks for doing this. Very cool to see the gear then hear it and instantly recognize sounds from the album. Inspired me to try a few things with my board.
Thanks for tuning in! Enjoy the jam!
I haven’t seen the Strat Jazz before. I purchased a Parallel universe Jazz Tele (tele body, jazzmaster sound) recently. I love it so much.
Unique guitars! I love my strat jazz!
@@SLOWCRUSH do you find that it responds better to a certain amp, rather than your usual rig? I’m still researching amps to pair with the tele-jazz.
@@ThomCoe since it has jazzmaster pick ups try a twin reverb. Works for us.
@@SLOWCRUSH twin reverb = amazing pairing but I’m trying to go small for my home. I wanna keep things at bedroom volume levels so I don’t annoy my wife and kid. Too bad they don’t make a twin reverb that sounds good at 1 or 2 but I guess blaring audio levels is a requirement of rocking.
Cant stop listening to aurora. So good
I cant stop listening Isas voice
Cheers!
Absolutely love this!
you guys are fantastic... tho you beat me to making the band I've always wanted to make :) love your music and looking forward to more great stuff! love from Cairo, Egypt
So well spoken! Good job my friends. Tones!
🙇♀️🙇♂️ fanks Bobby! 😘
This band is absolutely sick. Love your pedal!
Slow Crush, we love you
Love you guys so much, by any chance is it fine if I ask what pedal settings and chords are you using for Aurora. Me and my band are planning to jam it this weekend and I don’t want to be the weakest link haha. Thank you so much, hope to see you live one day!
Thank you, kinda hard to type this out. It’s 3 notes but a bit crazy chords progression wise (a ton of changes around few notes).
Reverb into OD into more reverb.
Modulation into reverb for cleans.
Fuzz into less reverb for the heavier rhythm guitars.
Hey guys that was bitchin, major pedal envy!
Would be cool to do some run throughs of how to play a track or two on guitar.
Thanks for the video!
A drawing mapping out the pedals would be amazing. I play a lot of Nothing and wanting to best work out the order of the pedals. Fuzz - reverb? reverb - fuzz? etc
Would you guys ever do another video that covers your guys presets? I would love to try to emulate some of the glow solo live sounds.
Glow is fuzz into short reverb with lots of modulation into another bigger / longer reverb with some more modulation.
so cool
yes!
Thanks for the great rig rundown.
Do I understand correctly that after the Big Sky the signal goes out in mono to the compressor, the volume pedal and the CabZeus? So, there’s no actual stereo going on? Or is that only for the P.A. sound?
And in line with that: are you using two amps at all, or is it always only one amp at a time?
Thanks again, this was great!
Definitely stereo out for 1 of the guitars. The rhythm / other guitar is mono.
We’ll do another of these videos soon since a ton has changed.
@@SLOWCRUSH Thanks for the quick reply. I’m still a bit confused how you’d get stereo out of one amp, or one compressor though. I’ll be looking forward to the next one. ;)
Show more of the Glow Fuzz plz!! Wanna hear it dry!!
Love this! Any chance of some guitar/bass playthroughs at some point?
I think there are a few covers floating around online. They do it better then we do!
really cool video guys ;-) I have tons of questions, hope we meet some day.
It sounded like Polish to me and Chinese to Michal but very lovely to see your faces ^_^
🤣 see you both soon irl for a personal beanie delivery!!! 😘
What is the reverse reverb effect on Collide (also heard in the remix)? I used to assume it was an EHX Cathedral or Oceans 11, but now I'm wondering if it's from the Big Sky or Space.
It is the space. That's the best reverse reverb around, it's also used on the new album
I know this is an old video, but I really enjoyed it as I've always been super impressed by your bass and guitar tone. Would love to see/hear more of this stuff, especially diving into pedals. Question, do you use a lot of other effects with your fuzz sound or is just a little reverb after?
We’re always stacking tons of reverbs even when using a fuzz pedal (before or after)
Vibrato always on at the start to get some movement. Sometimes Tremelo after the verbs. It’s a bit all over the place.
@@SLOWCRUSH Awesome, thanks!
hello I am from Brazil
the cat hair adds extra fuzz!!
😹😹😹 of course! Double fuzz for purrfection! 😸
my crush
Can't wait :D If I may ask a question here, how much of Isa's sound comes from the sans amp, and how much from the rest of her set up?
It’s basically, my bass into a sansamp pushed into slight overdrive, into Le bass for more drive and finally a hot amp.
Either darkglass, orange ad200 or ampeg svt. 3 gain stages!
Since I push the amp hard and we like our bass sound on the warmer side away from main guitar frequencies we always take out a lot of mids on the amps and on the pedals. Most of the time we use Le Bass as a live DI because the first stage (the sansamp) can be a bit dry.
Nothing super fancy just gain staging with scooped mids and a really good amp and good cabs. But I’d say since I changed to Mesa Boogie cabs I’m totally in love with my sound 💜
@@SLOWCRUSH Two pre-amps!!! Damm =D
@@SLOWCRUSH You mean BASSically!
@@helicoid9415 :)
If that's your "studio" pedalboard Jelle, what is your "live" board? Would love to see that!
Looking back at this video. My pedalboard has changed a ton already. I downsized, sold this massive pedaltrain in this video and settled for something smaller.
Will probably need to downsize even more since we’re touring again soon.
💜
sorry, maybe you said it in the video, but what tuning are you using on guitar?
D standard
D#
Awesome vid! do you go straight in front of the amp after the Sansamp + Le Bass?
Thanks Fernando! Yes to Sansamp, then LeBass, then straight into the amp. Mixing it up a little at the moment - a Dark Glass microtubes pedal has now made it's way onto my board 🙈
SLOW CRUSH Hey Isa, thx so much for replying back, I’m currently setting up my gear and after watching this vid, I fell in love with the Le Bass, I’ll try to get one soon!
I thought you were running your pedals into the fx loop, but now everything is clear to me, would be nice to see more gear videos, I love your tone, pretty tight and solid! 💪🏻
Greetings from Mexico City, i hope to see you around soon! 🇲🇽
Oh!! one question, I had the impression that Isa was playing with In-Ears, if so are your relying on a Tech guy or are you doing your own mix, like a X32 rack solution or something...
That's right, I play with in-ears live. I currently use a Frankenstein Shure SE425 + SE215 pair as one ear of my 425 was ripped out and shattered at the very end of our set on the last show of the Torche tour last year (timing couldn't have been more perfect). I honestly don't notice a difference between the two ears amplification power... it works for now 🙂
To answer your question though, I have a simple DIY board, splitting the signal out to handle my own mix of bass + vocals. The rest I get enough of via bleed through the mic into my ears. For Euro tours I use a wireless system and for fly out tours I use a long cable, a splitter and micro amps to boost my vocals into my ears. Job done!
@@SLOWCRUSH Awesome thank you, we do the same with the long cable. I was curious if you were doing something different than we do. Might have brought ideas we didn't think of ;)
You guys ever tried the roland jc 120? Any thoughts on that?
Yup! Used them live for a while and liked them at the time. But there are amps that fit us better 😊
What’s your typical recording vocal chain? Do you track your vocals in any specific ways like regular double-tracking, tracking a whisper vocal sing with the main one, etc...? Thanks!
It really depends on the song. We don’t have too many effects on vocals, some verb that’s it.
Certain songs are single takes but mostly we layer it up. We love harmonies although not always clear in the mix. Reel has one lead vocal and 3 extra harmonies at the end chorus.
I’m a natural quiet singer so that’s probably why I sound so breathy as well 💜
@@SLOWCRUSH thanks so much! What’s one of your default recording mics?
@@RobinZV1 For vocals i think we use a Shure ksm condensor mic at home to record demos but it will vary in the studio. Last time we used a sphere townsend labs mic. Live i use an Audix Om7 or Om5.
Can I have pedals you replace isa
Who’s the maker of that P-Bass again? :)
Rammeloo 👌
@@SLOWCRUSH Thanks! It’s so pretty. Love Fano, too ❤️
God I cant afford any of that bass rig
i had to show my wife this as she bitches about my stuff in the living room...and it's not even 1/10th of what you guys have. haha
glow fuzz sounds great!
Needs more reverb ;)
ofcourse :)
@@SLOWCRUSH haha can't wait to hear it live again!
And I thought Matt Pike had a huge board 😳
Love HOF
@10:05 show me that you are shoegaze without telling me you are shoegaze :D
