I Tried the Cheapest Music Gear on Temu 

So.... the item in your thumbnail was just scambait?

Ed rlly looking out for us, not accepting the sponsorship and looking out for our safety! W mans!

Will say, turning down the Temu deal is always a W PR move 🎉 good on you!

Just because something has a USB port doesn't mean that it's for power. I have the Mini Universe and a number of Cuvave (same company... Shenzhen Grand) stompboxes myself...and they never sound like that because I use the DC inputs with isolated multi-out supplies. The USB ports, surprisingly enough, are actually supposed to be digital audio outputs. You CAN power them with it...but then you have to deal with the trashy DC one often finds on these. Note also that the Cube Whatever has a separate audio USB connector. In this case, the best bet is to charge the internal LiON pack before use and go all 1970s old-skool on battery. But if you really gottagottagotta power these via USB, your USB cable needs a toroid or some similar ferrite device. Make sure the center hole is big enough for a couple of turns of the USB cable, wind that on with a couple of passes thru the ferrite or toroid as close as possible to the output connector on the device, then plug it in...and like Dave Gahan's smack habit says, "Enjoy the Silence". ANYTHING powered by USB that passes audio should use that tactic. Yep, anything. You're using the inductor there to strip out the digital hash and ONLY leave the DC at the connector to the device. Frankly, I do that with ALL DC inputs in my live and studio setups because it simply works and lets me keep my mind on my music, instead of forcing me into a situation where I have to hunt down the crud source and fix it on the fly. As far as Chinese pedals are concerned, though...I use a pile of them alongside a bunch of others from Yogyakarta to Tacoma and back again. The Chinese stuff has very different sweet spots when compared to what they're replicating...and that keeps my working process on its toes, which then opens up new sonic possibilities. Very worthwhile!

The funny thing is, you're doing a video about TEMU's products even though they are technically not sponsoring you. TEMU is still getting similar exposure and advertising that they would with a sponsorship, but for free without paying Ed.

Bro you straight swindled me with that thumbnail.

Ed almost got next level scammed

Hang Drummer is literally sounding like the old Minecraft music instrument. Nostalgia is kicking diffrently

The noise from the pedal is digital power noise coming through the USB cable from the computer or switching power supply. Try the 9V power and that noise will probably go away.

i love that half the beats barely showed off the product cause ed was just vibing 😂

yall remember when mr. portnoy rocked out on a hello kitty toy drum kit and slayed it? it's about what you do with a toy instrument, and just about all of these look like a blast to play with

Really cool video! The noise of the guitar pedal was likely a ground loop, which was caused by using a usb cable connected into possibly your pc instead of a 9 volt battery (if the pedal has a 9v battery slot.)

That noise will go away if you use a dedicated plug into a dedicated outlet. I thought mine was defective, too, but it isn't.

That toy piano thing has some serious circuit bending potential. The output is an easy fix. Much more though. Sooo much more.

Dude, been watching you since a while, and you popped up the non-subscribed viewers percentage I smashed that subscribe button. I LOVE your content, and you make me want to start music production.

Cube baby is always on my desk. Really good piece of kit. Best tone ive ever gotten from a quick cheap pedal, and is great for recording in to DAW

I LOVE watching your videos Ed! The honest review is much appreciated! 😊

Temu was awesome for letting you keep the stuff

I am subbed for a looong time Bro! Your videos are really wild, and you enthusiasm is off the roof! Awesome keep it going my friend!

the last one was giving me jetpack joyride vibes

Did you try the multifx pedal on any synths? I've almost bought a bunch of pedals off there (including both in the video) but wasn't sure if they'd work with line level inputs well enough

The hang-drum beat is FIREEEE!

Amazing video!! Loved the piano hahahaha. Keep up the good work Ed!

the last sample so fire ngl

Ed, you could try to desolder the speakers and put two output jacks in their place, so you have a stereo Line Out!

I just subbed I love your videos keep up the great work and thanks for all the great info. Been looking for a decent pan drum.

Hey do you have a link to the items ? I am interested in that keyboard. 🥺

This kind of content is useful, and your presentation is amusing, so I subbed.

That hum with the first pedal is often a result of being plugged into a computer at the same time as a USB. Try it without a USB hooked up (like just between guitar and amp).

The tracks went CRAZY🔥🔥🔥

I'm honestly relieved you favored honesty over greed by turning down the Temu deal. Good on you.

This is really eye-opening. Keep them coming man

what’s up! I subbed! This is the first time I’ve ever seen you, and I already love this channel! Keep up the good work 🤙

temu type beat 😂 good job as always bro!

Can we get a full version of the first song you made?

Great finale! You can make anything sound workable:)

That cheep electronic toy keyboard is a varient of the my music center keyboard system, which uses basic single cycle wave forms and a few samples played on a simple chip originally ment for speech and basic music. That particular one is a more non standard varient.

Yo Ed I actually had this 8:26 toy keyboard when i was a kid there is sound called ghost/spooky sound i can't remember it very much but you can actually create some fire samples with that sound btw I am also trying to become a music producer in the upcoming year and i love your videos ❤❤❤

I did't buy from TEMU, but I got a M-VAVE Bluetooth wireless 5-pin w/ USB dongle off eBay for $15. It works flawlessly and allowed me to play my Moog iOS app with an old 90's Casio 61 key keyboard. Unfortunately, I broke my current iMac's bluetooth whilst rebuilding it, (doh!) and I haven't gotten around to trying the M-VAVE usb dongle yet. Parenting is real. If it works? I'm thinking about connecting it to my Roland TD-6v drum module.

The noise from the pedal is probably coz you are powering it through usb

What is your pedal into soundcard setup? Do you use a reamp?

ED IM STEALING YOUR TOY PIANO SAMPLE!!!! that part was so awesome, loved the beat u made outta it.

believe it or not, it's actually quite hard to create a crappy sound with expensive gears when you really need a crappy sound.

ngl u killed the beats🔥

final track is a killer🔥

Ed is Ed, and thats good!

Sorry @EdTalenti what Electric drum Is the One you use?

hey ed I've been watching your channel for a week and i HAD to sub. So im your new subscriber

Use a Noisegate for pedal noise. It's another kind of pedal. Put it at the end of your signal chain. I've had a few, the one Im currently using is Boss NS-2 Noise suppressor

Hey Ed! Nice video man

Ed is trying to pull up the kids keyboard 🎹😂😂😂

that first guitar play on that third item with that effect reminded me Diablo 2, imean, there is a track or two in that game with that kinda effect or sound, likeit a lot :)

How do u plug in effects pedal to ur laptop like this? Im tryna do that

3rd item jam is super tight. 10/10

I'm wondering if the reverb pedal with a ground loop isolator would remove the noise

Looks like that keyboard needs some circuit bending

I think the "Cube Baby" gizmo is fantastic. I bought one a couple of years back. I liked it so much I ordered a second one to future proof things a bit. I use it on most of my recordings and for the player on a budget I don't think you could do much better.

what mic are you using ed

Loved the video! Is that drumkit midi? Like are u using addictive drums for it or something like that? Subbed btw!

Where are the keyboard from the picture and the dj-set?

Keyboard kinda gave off an 8bit vibe to the sounds!

Great video can I get the multi effects pedal? 😢

last time i watched one of your videos was back with 10k subs hahaha.. congrats man

You should add an output to that keyboard like Simon Magpie does on his.

Waddup! How is everyone doin?

is that not a typical USB-powered effect pedal vs. gear ground loop issue that everyone uses a gizmo or trick to get rid of in the first 'complaint'?

The track for the guitar pedal sounds like something from an old Tycho album.

First time I saw a video from you. I immediately subbed

all beats is really good

Your musical talent shines through with the cheap keyboard

5:58 that riff sounded super familiar, but I can't place it... what song is it?

I got the M-Vave Mini Universe and it's great. I got 0 noise with the right power. The sounds from it are out of this world, and could only be compared to Strymon products which cost 10 times more...

W mans for being real with his audience 🙌🏾

Have you tried an adaptor for the mini universe? Sometimes usb is noizy.

whats the name of your midi drum panel

Just subbed! Great video!

just subbed, and i wanna say that you made me wanna get into music making, so thanks (:

Just subbed, really entertaining video! 😃

ed you should make footwork the music genre, its very fun to make

3:10 we got ed's hair reveal before gta 6

Rly like this video idea!

This is a really good video bro, you are my favorite RU-vidr

I can't believe he didn't play the mash potato sound on the keyboard. That would have been the first one I played 😆

That “dis-count” joke was funny for me.

The noise on the first pedal is probably the USB power supply (and the fact you are also conecting the audio cables, which probably form some sort of ground loop that makes the noise worse)

I had that same keyboard when i was a kid 😂😂

That guitar pedal at 6 mins sounds good

That piano is 🔥 for post-punk!

Nice video and nice beats 👍!

Shopping like a Millionaire 😅 They also did have had a version of the Neumann U87 AI.

Can you do more videos interacting with producers?, giving us a chance to showcase our music

So they didn`t delivered the microphone setup?

Cool, I picked up one of those reverb pedals for about $26, it's on my Dfam signal chain, I am very happy with it's performance. Just don't run it on a daisy chain psu, it can be noisy.

Last song was lit!

i have the same pedal, no noise at all but it has a noisy switch

this feels like JohnTron’s musical brother

That track jou made witch the keyboard and the guitar is top notch 💪❤️👌😎👍

i really wanted to hear the mash potato sound on the keyboard lol

having to pitch shift to match the electric noise....hahahaha

Ah yes, the iconic ryan trahan thumbnail
