![Delay Pedal Subdivisions - What To Use Them For [Ambient Guitar Tutorial #7]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hAGOpjg8GZ0/mqdefault.jpg)
I love stacking delays like this. Always fun to experiment with before/after combinations and times!
That guitar is gorgeous.
I learned that from the king of delay THE EDGE U2 .. great video 👍💯
Very nice, thanks for sharing Bill.
I love that sound. Great video!
Always love your delay vids!
Thanks Bill! Thats some lovely delay stacking and a great combo of pedals....I've been doing it with the MOOD as long delay 1 and El Cap as dotted 8th delay 2. These pedals sure inspire me to play🎶
Wow its really wonderful bill thanks so much....
You taught me how to do that with my Collider, use it every Sunday!
Appreciate your teaching
Thank you so much, your videos are super helpful!!
Bill….the Master! Appreciate chya!
Always a wealth of information.
Thanks! I need to do a little more experimenting with my Flashback Triple Delay. This will help give me some ideas.
If anyone can, Bill can
And Bill's kind videos demonstrate we can too!
good one Bill !
Wow, Ser Davos of Seaworth is damn good at playing the guitar
Cool! Thank you.
Glad you liked the vid!
Nice Job Boss.
I think it would be interesting to see how those time combinations would sound just with the flashback minis. In fact, it might be interesting to see an entire low budget ambient setup including a looper. I like how you're using the El Capistan like a reverb replacement.
Thanks for sharing
great bill even better with 2 loop pedals inserted...there is no end to the synchronicity....
I mean, I do this all the time - but I run three of them in parallel! I actually set up both a quarter note and a dotted eighth, and then use a analog delay for the wash. By running them all in parallel, they don't step on each other, and it keeps things a little more articulate, while still being very washy and ambient.
I love my Strymon DIG, I've had it for years and still find new sounds every time I use it, but I haven't paired it with a second Delay yet! Now I'm getting giddy just thinking about what kind of ethereal sounds I will get with a second delay and my Empress Reverb!
Very cool, as always. Something I've been doing lately is splitting my signal chain with a freq-based crossover and using different delay times on low/hi freqs. Makes for some very weird, pulsing interplay
Cool idea!
Just yesterday: Tape Delay -> Reverse Delay -> Granular Delay -> Octave Capture -> BigSky
Actually, 4 delay stacking.
It was a generative and self-living universe of ambient joy 🤩
@@BobGuido didn’t know how to better describe one of the setting of Red Panda Tensor I currently love most.
Putting it in next mode and reverse playback, with a loop of about… let’s say a couple of second, raise the pitch to one octave, and the variation parameter to 50%. Time and speed to normal. Result: When you play, the Tensor is always in listening mode and will reproduce slice of what you’ve played after a while repitched and reversed with some variations in time and pitch depending on the amount of parameter variation you set. I also use similar and other granular techninques with the Looper algorithm of the Eventide H9.
Here’s an example of granular capture with the H9: ruclips.net/video/HaZ83SmocMc/видео.html
Hi. I actually do it the opposite way. I run a dotted 8th into an analog delay with a fairly long spacing between delays. I tap both delays to the rhythm of my song. I've been pretty happy with the sound I've been getting. I'm going to try this way now lol.
Nice - it's all about finding the sounds you like!!
Hey Bill, great work! Since the Dig has two delays built in, could you not have achieved the same result with just that one pedal or was there a specific reason for using a different one?
Thank you for this tip! Is there a good delay pedal with 2 delays built in that you can set different tempos? I’m running out of pedalboard space😊
Thanks Bill - very cool as always. Haven’t tried the short delay following long - isn’t it usually the other way round?
Glad you liked it! I don't know what is more common amongst other players, but I find myself using both combinations, depending on the sound I am looking for.
Never done that, so it is a real eye-opener for me!
i guess that delay #1, being like you suggested, a good old analog or emulation contributes to the washiness because of the imperfections inherent to that type of electronics. i'm sure it will sound very different when delay #1 is a purely digital circuit without analog emulations in it.
As for the final result: a great-sounding extra-terrestrial ambiance.
i was wondering, would you be able to get this result with the dig alone, or with the TC triple delay (don't know whether any of these support an analog emulation)?
The DIG alone, no, but yes - Triple Delay can do this for sure. And by itself, since it has the 3 delay lines.
I have the Dig and El Cap and I cannot get the El Cap to do what yours does. Do you have the Tape Head on Single and Mode on C? Looks like you have the Time knob cranked to 5 pm, Repeats at 2, Mix at 10. With those settings I can't tap in a beat of 1,2,3,4. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Sorry for not providing more specifics on the El Cap. Yes - the Tape Head and Mode settings are correct. This puts the El Capistan into "sound on sound" tape mode where you can create a delay time up to 20 seconds The time knob does not matter, as I used the Tap switch to create the delay time. Basically you tap once to start. the "tape loop" and then tap a second time to end the "loop". Hope that makes sense.
Hi Bill, very nice. The DIG has two delay lines. You could route them in series and achieve the same thing, or? Was there a specific reason for the use of a second separate unit? Thanks.
For this video 1) demo how to use 2 delay pedals together and 2) I love the tape tone. Also, The El Cap has a longer delay time when in SOS mode.
I have a question, Im getting into jazz/fusion and sometimes ambient guitar. Just having fun, making sounds, some I hope are worth listening to. Anyway, I am coming out of a hair metal/hard rock era, so all of this is new to me. The pedals I used back then were an MXR Phase and flanger, a BOSS DS-1 distortion, and mayby a delay. Thats all I used. Now, I am rebuilding my pedalboard to play it all when I feel like it, especially fusion and ambient, which I am most interested in nowadays. I need help in laying out and connecting my pedals, so here are my pedals I have at the moment. I may get a couple more, I dont know. all BOSS pedals( DS-1 distortion, DD-3T Delay, Reverb/Delay RV-6, CH-1 Super Chorus, MO-2 Multi Overtone, SD-1 Super Overdrive, TU-3 Tuner, and last pedal which I will run off my pedalboard is a Morley 20/20 wah-volume pedal. How would you chain these together for a good sound? Thanks, oh yeah, all the BOSS pedals will be on a BCB-90X pedalboard. Clean and simple with the Morley running off the board.
I would probably start with this order and experiment from there: Tuner, DS-1, SD-1, Morley, MO-2, CH-1, DD-3T and RV-6.
@@chordsoforion Thank you so much for the advice
Cool stuff ! So you put the pedals after the amp modeller, even the volume pedal ?
Yes, that is what I normally do. That way the volume pedal does not affect the incoming gain into the amp modeler.
Off topic, but are you happy with that guitar you're playing in this video ? Pros/Cons ?
I don't know what sense can make a headless multiscale 6 strings with that kind of fretboard
He made a video review on this very subject actually. Overall I assume he does like it. Guitars like that tend to be light and comfy.
Can distortion and overdrive make ambient soundscapes too?
Absolutely!
@@chordsoforion I am intrigued! Thank you for taking the time to reply, sir
Hey Bill, appreciate all of your content. I would strongly suggest you practice very intently with a metronome and drum machine daily... Your sense of rhythm is a little squirrly haha and I think we all struggle with this. I think focuses work on your rhythm would make a big difference on your jams and loops. Keep rocking brother!
Just goes to show that ambient music is more than just cranking up the reverb and delay. You need a good sense of rhythm
That's not really ambient
