Good to be back with another demo, and this one is truly special, in my opinion. A really magical modulator from SolidGoldFX that does everything from pristine and hi-fi to warbly crackling and lo-fi. Wanna instantly press your tone to vinyl, then the NU-33 is the ticket. I really hope you enjoy the demo. If you do, please consider leaving a like, comment or share the video with your partners in lo-fi tone. Would mean so much to me. Thank you for your kindness and support
Wow man this is a really awesome pedal I love it.😃👍
Solid demo, as always.
Leaving the noise, hiss and crackles aside. Which would you choose if you could pick one; this or Shallow water?
@@michaelrasmussen5158 same question
In your opinion, how does this pedal compare to the MXR Analog Chorus?
BTW, amazing video, man!
huge oversight by not offering this in a stereo form. The synth and dawless jam community would love this thing.
You always have the best demos man. Best riffs and music by far.
Awwwwww, dude! Thank you so much. Making me blush here 😊❤🙏
man i just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do. everyone of your demos is an instant hit because pf your great playing and your ability to make basically every pedal sound even better than they already do. your facebook group is also a constant source of inspiration for me :)
thank you so much for getting me even more into pedals than i already was!!
Man, so much color coming out of that box.... though its still the artist that holds the pencil to draw up a masterpiece.
Well played.
Thanks a lot! Very kind fo you. This is a beautiful modulation device. Indeed ultra-colorful 😊
I love your playing style. Very emotional and inspiring.
Oh wow! Thank you. Means a lot to me!
I might be two years late to the party, but this demo is amazing! Thanks for doing all this ground work and making me instantly buy one of these pedals.
Cheers!
Awww, man! Thank you so much. Happy you found the demo and that it inspired you to pick up this incredible pedal. I love this device so much!
That Bach was such a lovely surprise and a good example of how thorough your demos are.
Awwwww! Thank you!
Your playing during the Nobels section made me sip my coffee real slow and just enjoy those “extra” notes that I wasn’t expecting in that part.
I'm honored to hear that my playing can actually make people enjoy the coffee more. I love coffee, so I think I need to exercise this sonic superpower some more, so the world can enjoy a really good cup of joe ❤☕ 😊 And, Patrick. THANK YOU! I'm really happy you enjoyed that part.
@@thepedalzone hell yeah, you're a great coffee companion, albeit virtual but that's cool. Already on my 2nd cup and 4th video of yours.
I had this pedal in my cart on reverb just because the name sounded interesting. The seller knew and contacted me with a sweet deal. I took the deal then came here to see what I just purchased and I am floored. I randomly got the exact sound I was searching for.
I'm truly happy for you. This pedal is SO GOOD!
LOVE that you run synths and drum machines through the pedals! Keep it up!
Cheers! It's always fun to explore how an effect responds to different timbres, dynamics and moods.
Just ordered one of these. I've never been more excited to get a pedal!
Awesome! You're in for a lot of lush and warbly fun
Revisiting because I need a chorus pedal and geez, that synth jam at the end just melts me everytime!
Thank you so much! NU-33 is definitely one of my absolute favorite modulation pedals. You can't go wrong with this one
That lo fi crackle always feels like a warm fireplace. This pedal's amazing!
It's always magical when sound invokes a feeling of place and paints a scenario. A warm fireplace is a wonderful mental image to have when listening to these sounds. Happy you enjoyed the tones and the tunes 😊
@@thepedalzone Always a pleasure! Thanks for sharing them! :) I bought a pedal thanks to one of your demos and it became a mainstay!
Great video Stefan! You really should do an album featuring all these amazing pedals, you have an incredibly melodic playing style - I could listen for hours!
Thank you, Robert! That's exceptionally kind of you 🙏
i'm genuinely frustrated because i had just begun to feel satisfied with my pedalboard, but now i absolutely need this pedal. thanks a lot stefan ;) for real though man, keep up the great work. you truly are an inspiration to me and my music.
I'm "sorry" 😂 Hope you get your hands on this one. It's an amazing pedal!
Wow, so impressed by not only the pedal but also by such masterful playing to go along with it. So glad i found this channel!
Thank you so much! Truly warms my heart. I'm happy you found me 😊
The ending synth bit is done so perfectly! Always look forward to hearing multiple instruments/sources through the pedals, but more importantly through you. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I was really happy with how that example turned out as well. This pedal holds so many sonic colors, which makes it amazing on whatever instrument you throw at it.
This video has helped me understand this pedal so much more, thank you!!
I'm really glad to hear that! 😊
Ive been waiting for this release since I saw you briefly play it in your NAMM video, thank you for this one Stefan!
Cheers! I've been eagerly waiting to get my hands on it since NAMM, and it does not disappoint, that's for sure. Far better than the proto I played at NAMM.
Love the Minilogue demo too since I have one, I always have a hard time finding synth demoes of most pedals so I highly appreciate when you do this!
Thanks! I love using pedals with synths. Truly opens up entirely new sonic paths to explore, and this one is just AMAZING on synths!
Great sounds and great demo as usual.
Very very good and affordable alternative to the overpriced CBA/Cooper FX's Generation Loss on Reverb.
Specialy love the crackle toggle (finally someone thought about this essential spicy element of vinyl sound !) and the expression pedal input that I've wish i could have on Hungry Robot's Wardenclyffe.
Funny era where high-quality programming chips and circuits are made to produce lo-fi and degraded sounds.
Cheers, man! Yeah, it's fun how we try to make cold digital 1s and 0s sound like actual analog moving parts. The computers are getting good at it though 😊
Definitely should check out the Kinotone Ribbons pedal!
Solid Gold FX knocking it out of the park....again! And another great demo with creative applications: showing what it's capable of in true Stefan style.
Brilliant, dude. I love the Julianna but man, those filters and crackle are just something extra special. Gonna have to invest.
Thank you! Honored to hear you enjoyed the demo so much. This is really a spectacular pedal. It will pair well with your Julianna 😊
Thank you for another amazing and soulful pedal demo! I really enjoy these demos!
Thank you! Means a ton to me 🙏
Just picked one up..your video helped (as always)..thx bro
Honored to hear my video was helpful to you. This pedal is so good!
Colors the sound well.
Sure does. Wonderful modulator
Stefan, your playing is just getting better and better! I find myself not watching your videos because of the pedals but your playing.
P. S. My favourite demo of yours has to be the old Afterneath demo!
Thank you very much 🙏 Honored to hear you’ve been watching the channel since the early Afterneath demo. That was a fun one to make
Awesome playing and demo of this pedal! 😍👍 Thanks a lot Stefan.
Thank you very very much!
Well GD man, that was a wonderful. I recently bought n tagged you in an IG video, because of the videos of you playing the Mascis led me to get off my ass n grab one. Great guitar, great pedal, great demo...you’re just great man 😘. Hope all is well. Stay safe.
Again, my friend, you tailor your exquisite playing to suit the pedal perfectly. It sounded just simply divine. Top drawer stuff, as always. Be well.
Doug!! Thank you so much, my friend. Your kindness and support always means the world to me ❤
Finally! Great demo.
Hope you feel better
Thank you so much, man! Yeah, I'm feeling good. Thanks for caring 😊❤💪
Damn, I was JUST thinking about lo-fi vinyl sounds yesterday!
Great video, great tones, and as always, super inspiring music! Made me grab my guitar and jam, which I really needed!
Thank you so much my friend :)
What a wonderful coincidence 😊 Stoked you enjoyed the tones and tunes, and that it inspired you to create music 🙌
I know this is always the case with your great demos, but from this video (previously not knowing anything about the NU-33) I feel like I have a pretty clear grasp on the controls, and the sounds I could expect to try and dial in. Such a good demo! Such a cool pedal, too! I've been wanting a lofi/chorus/vibrato pedal and this might be the newest addition to the board. Cheers, Stefan!
Well this has ALL the sounds in it looks like. Great demo man awesome pedal too
Cheers 🙏 It really packs all the lo-fi punches 😊
Those are some beautiful chord progressions.
Thank you so much!
This thing sounds so lovely. I want more demos to listen to (just for pleasure). This is going on my wishlist for pedals for my synths for sure.
Happy to hear you liked the sounds, man! The NU-33 is a treat on synths. The chorus just makes them sound epically huge, while the Vibrato and Filters are great for further shaping the tone of your synth sound, and add some vintage warmth to it.
This is a fantastic demo thanks
Thank you very very much!
Beautiful music showcasing an awesome pedal - as always!
Always means the world to me, when you enjoy the demos, Vanessa ❤🙏
Стефан , смотрю каждое твоё видео, огромное спасибо за твою работу, from Russia with love my friend!!!
Google Translate to the rescue! 😊I'm truly honored to hear you're watching every video. Means so much to me. Thank you for your support ❤🙏
Wow this covers a lot of ground. Wasn’t expecting too see the doubling / dimension capability (MS30 territory, which I love). Great demo Stefan. Super lofi options
Yeah, it's incredibly versatile! Really happy you dig it
Great sounds! Especially loved the Bach part!
Happy you enjoyed the tones. And that Bach part was a lot of fun to make, so I'm happy it was well received by you as well 😊
Very cool! Similar to the Chase Bliss warped vinyl or the Shallow Waters but with a few extra tricks up its sleeve. For me, though, nothing beats the Deco for these sounds. Especially if you use the secondary controls on the tapesaturation side to dial out some highs and lows to give it a properly lofi sound. TLDR; randomized LFOs for the win!
LOVE THIS!!!
Thank you!
Duuuuuuude enough already. I have sooo many modulation pedals
No need to stop when you're on a roll then 😊More = More
Fantastic! You always know just what to play to make pedals shine. Reminds me of a more involved version of the zvex lofi junky!
Thank you so very much 🙏
this thing sounds incredible
I think so as well. Happy to hear you dig the tones 😊
@@thepedalzone Now the two best pedals for tackling this type of sound are both Canadian (you were my intro to the shallow water as well).
Just beautiful
Cheers! It is indeed a stunning pedal!
STUNNING as always!
Thank you! Always means the world coming from you, Jared. Hope you're well, bud 😊🙌
Ordered! Thank you 🙏
Raaaad! Happy you enjoyed the demo, and found it inspiring and helpful 🙏
Geez. I already have a Warped Vinyl and Shallow Water, but still want this. I have a problem...
Hi John.
You don’t have a problem. You have multiple lo-fi solutions 😊
I WANT ALL THREE!
hmm... lofi x 3 = hifi
I’m shopping in this market. I was going to go for the shallow water, but this looks interesting. Any recommendations?
Solid Gold FX really are one of the better companies out there. It's all about functionality and creativity with them, not just re skinning old pedals in pretty boxes.
Yeah, they are a seriously underrated brand. They've been killing it non-stop the last couple of years with their releases, and this one is no exception. Such a great modulation pedal!
This sounds really nice and dreamy! The crackle reminds me of the small sound/big sound fuck overdrive
Looks super fun.
It is indeed an incredibly fun pedal 😊
Great as always and good to see how your channel is thriving.
Really interesting and tempting pedal, maybe the modulator to rule them all?
I see a, what I believe to be a CD case, with Phillip Glass leaning against the plant. He was what made me play piano, that lead me to synths, that lead me to pedals. That classical/baroque like music you did on your phone was fun : )
Anyway, step on your cap and put a pedal on your head.
Great video, Stefan ❤️
Thank you so much 🙏
fantastic demo :) thank you sir
And thank you so much for watching and commenting. Means a lot to me that you enjoyed it 😊🙏
Great demo and a cool unit! First competitor that I know of to the HEXE Melusine. The chorus/flange sounds pretty lovely on this one. The doubler is really awesome. I'm not fond of the crackle type they've gone with, sounds harsh and more like a geiger counter, and you can't seem to control the level independently.
Beautiful stuff man!
Thank you, man! 🙏
Woooow!!! What a great review!
Thanks! Means a lot!
ThePedalZone
I bought this pedal because of you. I should get it today.
Hey Stefan! Are you going to record a Halloween special this year? I love hearing those spooky tones! 🖤
It’s definitely the plan so far 😊👻🎃
Ah, takes me back to the days of listening to my records on the record player my father gave me in the early 60's.
That's the magic of sound. It can truly transport you. It can ground you in the present, transport you back to the past of carry you straight into the future. I'm thrilled to hear these sounds took you somewhere special to you ❤
Great entertaining demo Stefan. This pedal could have been custom built for you! Perfectly fits your style. Hopefully it becomes widely available. I’ve had real problems sourcing their Electroman 2.
Thank you so much! Yeah, I love me some good chorus/vibrato, and this one ticks all the hi-fi and lo-fi boxes for me 😊 Where are you located since you've had problems getting a hold of their pedals?
@@thepedalzone Am based in the UK.
@@davids9192 We sell through Coda Music in the UK and other dealers in Europe. The NU-33 should be widely available in Europe soon.
@@sgfxdiamond Appreciate the swift response. Thank you!
Thank you for so many wonderful videos 🤙
2:07... greatness! 🙌
Thank you so much! ❤🙏 That Skip feature has so many uses. From weird degrading glitches and stutters to more melodic micro-samples and loops. Really fun pedal to use and explore.
Beautiful demo and playing. At around 5 minutes I thought I heard a little passing progression that made me think the ghost of Abbey Road era Beatles had entered my place to freak me out! Happy Halloween indeed! Maybe an unusual pitch jump, but Beatle-esque just the same🤣The modulation, tone, and vibe during the lovely, sad extended bit with the vinyl crackling away was particularly beautiful❤️ Oh that arpeggio section near the end just melted my brain...and then I see the Minilogue and now it is that, an iPad ARP, or the Strat to experiment upon. Thank for the inspiration! I will have to do it all without this pedal...for now.🤓
Just bought one!!!
Raaaaad! You're gonna love it. This pedal is going on my main board today 😊
What a great demo, Stefan! Sounds like you had a lot making it too. That pedal is pretty cool too. A pedalboard with a fuzz, NU-33, and a delay + reverb would be more than enough for most of us.
Cheers, man! Happy you enjoyed the demo. And yeah, a fuzz, NU-33 and some ambience, and I'm good to go as well 😊
This thing is incredible! I'm thinking about getting this instead of the Caroline Effects Somersault.
Yeah, it's such a rad pedal!
Loved it
Thanks!
What a pedal!! Oh my god
Happy to hear you dig it. There’s a lot to love in this device 😊
@@thepedalzone hell yeah!! I also love your playing Stefan, thank you for your effort in these videos :)
I'd love to see all of your synthesizers someday since I'm kind if a virgin to that instrument.
Just when you think you have all the pedals you need....
I used to go to the studio and try to convince my band mates AND the engineer AND the producer to add a whole bunch of weird effects and background noises to my sound to achieve the mood I was looking for. It never worked, because everytime I was halfway there, they'd all look at me as if I had gone mad and they just wouldn't let me procede, even though I wrote everything. But this is the sound I was after. If I had a pedal like this back then, it would've saved me a lot of trouble, a lot of time and a lot of frustration.
The downside...., now everybody can achieve this sound. I wish SolidGoldFX all the best, but I secretly hope this will stay a niche market pedal. 😁
I fell in love with my Julia and somersault, but this!!! My wallet is crying lol great demo!
Haha! Cheers 😊🙏
great share. thank you
for being a “vinyl” replication kinda pedal, it’s extremely musical outside of just adding adding a little wobbling/hiss to a sound. I’d love to find out how a synth pad would sound through one of these
Happy you dig the pedal. It's a wonderfully musical lo-fi machine. I use it on synth in the last bit of the video 😊
your guitar playing 👍
Very cool to see you using more iOS apps, it’s an incredible ecosystem
They are fun to mess around with. I've been using them for a long time in my demos. I even have an entire video dedicated to my favorite iOS apps to use with pedals. Have you checked that out?
@@thepedalzone I sure did, so good! If you have an ipad the possibilities are even more incredible with apps such as borderlands granular. I genuinely think the gap between eurorack and ios music making is getting smaller by the year. It’s my main way of making music now!
that skip feature should have deteriorating darkening sound to really shine :) like el cap's sound on sound.
It will do that if you have one of the filters engaged
Love it! Plus that skip button *chef's kiss*
Thanks! Happy you dig it 😊🙏
Love this pedal, great demo too. Any pedals that you'd recommend checking out as alternatives? I'm particularly interested in separate hiss and crackle controls and maybe some saturation rather than lots of modulation? I have the Strymon Deco which I'll be swapping for something which can add noise as well.
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed the demo. I guess the most obvious alternative would be the new CBA Generation Loss MkII. Seems like it has everything you're looking for and more.
@@thepedalzone Thanks for the tip, will check that out! I've seen people getting great results for this kind of stuff from a simple Zoom CDR 70. Have you ever compared this to the boutique pedals you own?
@@iasonpassaris - I've actually never tried a Zoom CDR 70. It seems like a really cool unit though. And you're right, it seems capable of producing some great lo-fi tones, among a plethora of other sounds. Always wanted to try that pedal. There's just too many pedals and not enough time, man :)
I really wish this was stereo. It would be great to have the chorus section in stereo, with the lofi effect as dual mono.
when i tell you i flew to Reverb to buy this 🦅
Rad! It's such a killer pedal. Honored to hear the demo inspired you to pick it up!
Hey Stefan, how do you think this compares to the Shallow Water or Warped Vinyl? Any preference between the three?
Superbly played and exhibited once again!
Stefan, can you give feedback to this question and include thoughts on Jam Pedals Ripply Falls in this category? I’m looking for that lofi vibrato sound.
Got the Gen loss ...yet im thinking about getting this one too xD
Sounds like the perfect lo-fi team. Gen Loss for your VHS crinkles and NU-33 for your Vinyl warps 😊
my wallet does not like your channel bro hahahahahhah this is now on the way to my house
and i can not wait! bring your board and come jam!
Tell your wallet that I'm sorry 😂 You're gonna dig this pedal though. It's so rad!
@@thepedalzone already made it in a few artists tracts u produce for haha its great!
Stefan, do you always use standard tuning on these demos?
Far from it. I very rarely use standard tuning 😊 This demo is all in EAEABE
@@thepedalzone OMG it all makes sense now! Thank you
@@thepedalzone Stefan, I don't want to bother you or anything, but do you think it's possible to put the Tuning you are using in the Demo's description from now on?
Nu-33 = new m3. I want that one.
It sounds great. Is it brighter than the somersault? It seems brighter at times.
Thank you very much. It is indeed a killer pedal. Don't know if it's brighter than the Somersault. Haven't really compared them yet. But the NU-33 definitely has more tone shaping possibilities due to its 3 different filter modes.
Oh shit, someone alert @Aldo !
I'll turn my Aldo light towards the night sky, and hope he sees it ❤
@@thepedalzone 🥰 it worked. May Lofi Girl study forever. And the cat did gaze.
It's Bibio in a box!
Definitely a nice thing to have in a box 😊
Any thoughts on how it compares to Tefi Vintage Labs' Golden Era/Melanconia?
Haven't tried those two, so don't know
damn this is exactly what i wanted... you really gonna make me buy another pedal?
Awesome, man! Go for it!
Cool demo picked it up after watching this been playing it for a month now and love it!
Question I opened the back and there are two switches what do they do ?
Honored to hear my demo inspired you to pick up the pedal. I love the NU-33. Has been a mainstay on my board after I finished recording this demo. The switches inside the pedal determine what parameters you can control via expression pedal. You can read all about it in the NU-33 manual
@@thepedalzone That’s right I forgot about the manual I’ll pick that up in a minute thank you..
Awesome as always! Have you tried the Wardenclyffe by Hungry Robot? Do you prefer this one over that or other similar modulation pedals? I am trying to decide! Thank you!
Cheers! Haven't tried the Wardenclyffe. NU-33 is the modulation pedal of choice for me right now. It's kicked all the competition off of my board. I love it because it's amazing at both hi-fi and lo-fi tones. That's a rare find. It's typically an either or situation, but this one does it all and it does it well.
😍
🙌
Thanks for this! How would you compare this one to something like the Wardenclyffe? And do you know the retail price? Thanks again!! :)
I haven't tried the Wardenclyffe, so can't say. But feature-wise, and from what I can read and hear online, it seems like they seek to achieve completely different things within the lo-fi realm. Price is set around $250, as far as I remember.
Is your squire JMJM one with the rosewood fretboard?
I know they’re different but if you had to choose a single vinyl lo-fi pedal, would you choose this or the Fairfield Shallow Water?
They are extremely different. Each has its own vibe it's going for. NU-33 being vinyl-esque whereas Shallow Water is going for that tape-esque tone. But I used to have the Shallow Water on my board, now I have the NU-33. Don't know if that says anything or matters anything. Both are great, but NU-33 is simply more versatile, since it both covers clean hi-fi tones and broken lo-fi tones, and versatility is pivotal for me.
@@thepedalzone Thanks for the in depth response. Amazing video as always! 🤙🏻
What is that sequencing app on your phone?
It's called Fugue Machine
