But if it changes the note as it changes the speed that's gonna suck For actual musical purposes other than making spaceship sounds. For that kind of crazy shit just buy an old electro harmonics memory man. All the adjustments are on the knobs. You just put it on stand right in front of you and go to town, If making spaceship sounds on your guitar is what you want to do. My buddy's and i used to sit around eat mushrooms and make spaceship sounds with our analog delays. Which work the best for playing around.
Yeah, it’s cool, but there are many delays that one can just use an expression pedal to do this with, or control the time, repeats and modulation depth and/or speed. I have the Alexander History Lesson V4, and I just use an expression pedal for the repeats, and sometimes set it to change the mod depth. I use it sparingly, and just to make some solos sound unique. I never just let go into oscillation and stay there. I also use the Caroline Kilobyte, which has a Havoc switch, that will ramp the repeats into oscillation, and I can set it to tap it like a wah almost, to get these great sounds on certain notes, that people always ask me how I’m doing it. With both delays set right, somewhat like how Andy Timmons does, except I set them to get what becomes almost a modulation when I hit the havoc switch on the Kilobyte, or I can get more ambient things with the expression pedal in the History Lesson for the song. Some songs I just use one or the other, depending on what I’m playing. *yeah, I would always get asked to play and do the ghost and war sounds, using just a early 90’s DD-3, that I still have, and the Ibanez analog delay I had then. I played trippy stuff in general, but then having Romeo delays, with the DD-3 for brighter sounds, I’d do the sounds for people to trip out to while on hallucinogenics.
The original Tom Scholz pedal that this is copied from is 100% for making special effects sounds. He’s amazingly musical with it and it’s all over the first 2 albums. Watch “live at Giants Stadium” from 1978. It’ll make you want one!
@@CorbCorbinI just watched a History Lesson with an exp pedal and didn’t hear anything very interesting, but probably just the wrong video, I’m sure it can do it. However I did watch a Strymon w/expression pedal that did it but the amount of menu clicking needed before you could actually use the damn thing for this purpose made my eyes glaze over. This Moonboot is amazingly user friendly, just tilt back and “lift-off”!
