@yuvalrosen 2 года назад

Love your videos! Very much agree that an expression pedal can open up a lot of possibilities. I recently hit a goldmine by getting a used Boss DD-500 - the patching can get super deep, I've made settings that imitate the EHX Freeze, EQD Rainbow, even Chase Bliss type sounds, and others that are even weirder. One tip I'll add for the comments section is to use a DAW and plugins (free versions of Reaper and Melda plugin suite, for example) to figure out your sound before buying pedals. Better yet, you can discover new sounds in the process of trying to approximate your DAW productions via the gear you already possess.

@sunnyheadcase 2 года назад

Great video! On the note of "Defeat the Purpose," I think this brings things like orchestration and arrangement into the picture which I always feel like a lot of musicians don't even consider when exploring their tone/sound. Finding sounds like your example or to go even more broad into something like Smashing Pumpkins 90s guitar sound, it's rarely 1 guitar part/track. IMHO realizing this is like moving from a tiny corner of a room, to realizing there's a whole house to explore.

@CyberattackWorld 9 месяцев назад

@rahzark 2 года назад

Something crazy to do with pedals that have a stereo In as well as Out: make the sinal path go through the pedal twice. You can make some weird shit. In some rare cases like the boss 500 series you can even apply different effects to each stereo side and effectively have two pedals in one. BTW, I'm loving this channel, the visual presentation is amazing. 90s demoscene meets Donkey Kong Country. Keep it up!

@CyberattackWorld 2 года назад

great idea and thanks for the comment

@alefty4463 Год назад

Can you elaborate a bit? How would one go about doing this? Instead of being stereo simply use the two stereo inputs to run the signal thru twice?

@rahzark Год назад

@@alefty4463 If you run guitar > inputA > outputA > inputB > outputB > amp you are going through the pedal twice (the signal is coming out of the pedal and in again). BE CAREFUL: Depending on the pedal and settings this may cause uncontrollable feedback so proceed with caution! Make sure you have a way to kill the signal going in and out of the pedal just in case.

@@CyberattackWorld love the stereo !! could you explain smth ? I have two stereo pedals at the end of my chain (Big Sky and Echosystem connected all left-right/in-out and then going to two different amps). Now I think about getting a chorus and I can't decide between Julia and Julianna (both by Walrus Audio). Julianna has stereo outputs but does it matter if I have stereo pedals after it? Will Julia have the same stereo sound with my other pedals after it ? Or will it differ smh ?

@CyberattackWorld 2 года назад

@@grishayampolsky it depends on whether the stereo pedals after the Juliana preserve the true stereo signal they get as input. Sometimes stereo pedals will sum the stereo input they get-which in this case would collapse whatever stereo stuff the Julianna is doing-and then run their own stereo effects on the collapsed mono signal and output that as stereo. It's not necessarily the end of the world when that happens, because you still wind up with a stereo image at the end. But I don't know whether any of the stereo pedals you're talking about will do this, you might have to write to them and ask.

@grishayampolsky 2 года назад

@@CyberattackWorld thanks for the reply, think I got it. well I guess that if pedal has left/right inputs it might probably be preserved from summing up the signal into mono, especially if it's fancy shmancy Strymon and Empress, but I guess writing to them is a good idea!

Great ideas. Not really a unique technique here, but experimenting with EQ at different points in your pedal chain can stretch the possibilities of the gear you already have-especially before or after overdrive, distortion and fuzz.
