Andy plays Castlevania (!!!!!!!!). This straight male is now firmly in love... with Andy. It was only infatuation before this demo. That Castlevania intro pushed me over the edge. I'm a fool for Andy.
Finally! There is a good review of this pedal being played by someone who knows what they're doing. All the other videos demoing the Syntax Error sounded like crap. I had a feeling that Andy would do the pedal justice.
Andy has a huge talent for intuiting uses for every pedal ranging between classic toanz and arty weirdness. His playing is always rockin and never wanky. He’s my go-to guy for effects reviews.
Personally, I love this pedal and how it colors riffs and jokes aside I love the sample-y arcade-ish sounds it produces making music fun and the arpeggiated trails are great. Giant Robot I need you right away.
Wow, this sounds like video game music to the max! That reverse sounds like a cinematic after a boss scene. Andy you crushed this one... nice post editing on the glitchy glitchy glitchy computer and blue screen :)
The Fix "One Thing Leads to Another"? I think it should be a contest. Andy plays an old 80's riff somewhere in the demo, first to get it wins the pedal.
I'm old, tones like these emanating from the ole lady's kid's video game consoles always made me Lol out loud . Now get off my lawn, but leave the freaky phaser sounds
Kerry Minnear (the keyboard player of Gentle Giant) used to do a lot of game soundtracks back in the day, so it is not far fetched to make the comparison Edit: Also adding to the similarities is this song by Gentle Giant ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eyZ0U93D7oU.html&ab_channel=VelvetGreen
Can another MIDI controller footswitch be used with this pedal to access the presets, or does it have specifically be the Disaster Area DMC controller?
I pretty much agree; some of the modulation tones (flangey-chorus) he was getting in the middle of the video were kinda cool and maybe usable, the rest is just unusable bullshit. This pedal seems really cool, until you try to actually use it in a song...unless your doing some sort of electro-noise rock thing (e.g. black dice), then it might be ok.
Exactly. Honestly I find any pedal that isn't yet another dirt/chorus/delay/reverb/etc. refreshing and I applaud any pedal companies who try and mix things up a bit. But.. yeah, they still have to be usable :/
