I don't think there is anyone demoing and reviewing gear as thoroughly as you do. The amount of work that you put into these is not lost on your audience. And your passion for gear and these reviews is clearly visible in the way you speak about what you're reviewing. You're truly on a level of your own, Mark!

@markjohnstonofficial 7 месяцев назад

That’s so kind of you to say, thank you. It’s a very lucky thing to get to check out so much cool gear and, more importantly, to be in a position where I don’t have to cover anything I’m not into or impressed with. Makes this gig a fun and easy one.

@mediumshreddercheese 7 месяцев назад

I second that comment and would like to add that the actual decisions you make on guitar, the stuff you play, intro tracks and the demo sections are so musical and enjoyable!

@SuddenSoundStudios 7 месяцев назад

Ditto this!

@kevinmusso2397 7 месяцев назад

A very well deserved compliment. We are very fortunate that you make such a genuine, and at time tedious effort to demonstrate these devices. Thank you for the work you do.

The bubbles & rain would sound beautiful with a Fairfield Circuitry Shallow Water. Awesome aqueous atmospheres all day.

@markjohnstonofficial 7 месяцев назад

That’s a great point.

@JackSole17 7 месяцев назад

It sounds really great over all but yeah I really wish you could completely control the pre delay! The rain sounds is so so cool!

@sungong8052 7 месяцев назад

I'm pretty sure you can control it with the onset control, although some spaces will have a more delayed onset automatically than others because of their physical reality. It's really odd but some structures have a pre-delay effect built in almost, crazy to think, but architecture was the original time-based effects engine. It's not exactly the same but it's similar. You wouldn't want control over that, you would just want a different IR.

@JackSole17 7 месяцев назад

Yeah definitely understandable, and it’s really cool that they created a pedals that has a unique aspect to it because most pedals nowadays are very similar!

@sungong8052 7 месяцев назад

Right! and its priced more reasonably than several of the Convolution Reverb plug-ins out there, with an amazing and unique library of IRs. I would much rather have a pedal, with resale value for 400, than a plugin for 600.

This thing might be worth it for the Plate reverbs and the Space Echo Spring alone! ❤ The crazy ambient spaces and irregular sounds are just gravy.

@thoughtprovoking001 Месяц назад

The plate reverbs sound amazing. My favourite of a very high quality bunch. This is a very nice pedal.

@Tije.O 7 месяцев назад

Nice pedal and nice demo. An alternative pedal to this is the Tasty Chips Integral. Same small form factor IR loader with some more straightforward / regular controls. Always wondered why there weren't more long IR loader pedals available, seems so obvious with all the cab-sim-ir-load pedals out there.

It is but it shouldn’t be. I’m always trying to talk Chad into making this a standard offering.

@PsychicHealingFactoryOutlet 7 месяцев назад

you can full wet anything with a bypass looper (I recommend pladask kniv).

@markjohnstonofficial 7 месяцев назад

That’s not true; this has an analog dry thru that can’t be bypasses. There’s no full wet or kill dry here

@PsychicHealingFactoryOutlet 7 месяцев назад

@@markjohnstonofficial actually it is true, i do it all the time. Its a useful trick that works via phase cancellation. Maybe you misinterpreted my comment?

@edwardjons8684 6 месяцев назад

If this had the control and versatility of the Meris Mercury X I’d have ordered it instantly, but it feels like half the pedal it ought to be.

@Telewest792 7 месяцев назад

How cool is that you do a great job demoing this pedal I’ve never heard of it till now but it looks very easy to change settings on the fly would come in handy in my studio but then again it would be nice to have one of every pedal in my studio so like most studios priorities usually win out but at some stage down the road I’m sure I’ll get one to try thanks for doing the video .

@dasczwo 7 месяцев назад

I immediateley wondered what would happen in a live situation when sweat or beer gets spilled on it? Would the touchscreen react? Please try 😂😇

@andsoistopped 7 месяцев назад

I have three reverbs on my board. Always.

@GastMusike 7 месяцев назад

That sounds so good! The fact that can not do 100% wet is a deal breaker for me though. I was hoping to use it to get some captures of rack reverbs in a pedal and I use then 100% wet.

@eternalvernal1286 7 месяцев назад

Couldn't you just do a capture of a 100% wet and turn it up or down?

@GastMusike 7 месяцев назад

Maybe I am missing something, but I do not think so@@eternalvernal1286 if you check the part where Mark demos the irregular reverbs he mentions he really misses a dry kill. I think a dry level would have made this perfect.

@markjohnstonofficial 7 месяцев назад

Yeah analog dry through is part of the hardware of this pedal so there’s no way to kill dry or go 100% wet. BUT his other, bigger devices can load IR’s and route the wet and dry signals separately so it can be done there.

@GastMusike 7 месяцев назад

Oh cool!@@markjohnstonofficial Thanks for letting me know. Beebo looks great, I guess I will pick one up.

@PsychicHealingFactoryOutlet 7 месяцев назад

You can get 100% wet on devices like this if you make a copy of the input signal, flip the phase and mix it back in. This cancels out the dry, leaving just the difference (100% wet). This can be accomplished in a DAW, but i prefer a bypass looper pedal. There are a bunch to choose from, i prefer kniv by pladask elektrisk. Phase cancelation is your friend. @markjohnstonofficial

@ajleslie2 7 месяцев назад

Just ordered. Does each icon at the top have 8 presets? 48 total?

@eternalvernal1286 7 месяцев назад

Yes, I think so.

@andsoistopped 7 месяцев назад

Lack of kill dry is a major issue. Surely they could fix that?

@guyfawkes8873 Месяц назад

Not sure. Its analog dry through, so if theres no provision to kill the dry in the circuit theys have to make a revision that includes that

@dasczwo 7 месяцев назад

Finally. Been asking eentide, strymon boss reps on fairs, superbooth their like:“ what for we got algorithmic“ does it compare to beebos capability? Can it lfo the ir size?

@dasczwo 7 месяцев назад

@@davedraws76 ok i try again: before ambient pedals were a thing i used strange irs in logics convolution reverb for kinky soumdstuff. Egcusing the sound of a washing machine as ir and superimposing that on guitar sound. I asked pedal manufacturers why ther is no convolution pedal for years. The didnt get it. Question a: the poly beebo was one of two existing pedals wich could host convolution reverb irs. Do you know if this pedal is just the Beebo module with a fancy interface? Question b: can i upload my own irs? Or just use the presets. C: it would be cool if it had a function where you could alter the ir size with an lfo. Like a chorus pedal, just that the room size changes. That was fun wit logics convolution reverb. Pigtronix has this as a function in its new reverb. Nice demo!

Nobody has told yet that all those reverbs, ir's, can be downloaded for free in many different webs. Poly creates platforms to perform others' sound and work. It's cool, but it is good to know it.

Do tell. If there are plugins that are equivalent, especially ones that match the reverbs of all those churches, I'd like to know more about that.

@bootlegapples 7 месяцев назад

I need a reverb that allows flanging on the reverb tails only/Anybody know if this'll do it?

@johanaavit 7 месяцев назад

These reverbs are captures of actual spaces, so unless there are flanging in the space captured, there is no flanging possible. This reverb is meant to be as natural as possible and also as simple as possible. If you could find a real room/hall etc with natural flanging you could capture it and load it in to the box. Or you could capture a reverb from another reverb unit and then load it into this pedal.

@polypedals 7 месяцев назад

This won't. Beebo will allow you to have any of the 100 ish modules on just the reverb tail.

@peterjessop1878 6 месяцев назад

Yes as Loki said Beebo can do that as can Empress Zoia. You can also replicate it in most multi effects boxes by placing a reverb then a flanger in a parallel effects path to the dry guitar signal.

@markjohnstonofficial 7 месяцев назад

Yeah, and they paid for the video to be made. Worth noting, as always when talking about it, that they’re basically paying for my time and not my opinions. A video like this takes between 2-3 days to make, I don’t take notes or talking points from a company on their gear and I don’t show them a cut ahead of release. No brand has any say or sway on the content I make, my feelings on their gear, or how I showcase it on the channel.
