Whatching this and other many gear-oriented videos of yours I thought - maybe you could've made a video about GAS? (GAS - gear aqcuisition syndrome)

Strymon needs to be paying you.

And TC. Haven't seen three TC pedals on a board for a while. That said though, Strymon are the best for a reason. And you can't fault Bill at all for wanting to use the best. I think I was more surprised that he didn't use a dedicated looper though. But it still worked beautifully.

@TeddScheckler 3 месяца назад

I appreciate that he’s unpaid and honest. Too many guitar channels are basically paid commercials now.

Bill, you're like the Mr. Roger's of Guitar Looping and I mean that as a compliment. Mr. Roger's was the best, a really sweet guy, and so are you. Love this kind of video. It's very informative. Thank you.

@adammindykowski6984 3 месяца назад

I am so looking forward to those up coming meditations, Bill. What I particularly liked about this video is how it deconstructed the anatomy of how you design your signature sound. The way it built up at the end with the pitch down octave adding weight for the dancing granules - that was something special!

@macsarcule 3 месяца назад

A great presentation of the construction of an ambient pedalboard. I built a couple of PBs, but I see that it is time to add at least one effect (Octaver). I built a TC Electronic PB with 14 effects over the Christmas holidays, relatively cheap effects with a nice sound. Of course, the Strymon brand is synonymous with technical quality and super sound. My personal peak in terms of possibilities and which I have realized (older amateur, below average guitarist, but still enthusiastic) is so far with EHX. Thank you very much for the inspiring video. Greetings Pavel CZ and I wish you a nice weekend. . PS the Strymon power supply is great, from my layman's point of view, I dare to recommend the Caline Scuru Power type to some colleagues, I have it in 3 PB and it can handle a lot so far, it is sufficient for my type of amateur.👍👍👍🎸

A rolled off fuzz(vol+tone) may suit that soundscape better, I like the video nice to see a full pedalboard!

@adrianchynoweth4684 5 дней назад

Put painters tape on the bottom of the pedal, then put velcro on the tape, alot easier to get off, if you so desire

@rainbowslushy223 3 месяца назад

the velcro that you get with the pedal train boards is insanely strong

@CircleOf5ths Месяц назад

I need to try to mimic this pedal board using my Headrush MX5. I like to use my MX5, Alto408 FRFR, and Mission Engineering battery pack while camping, so minimizing gear is important. Nice to have something to shoot for...Thx!

@andorrasrevenge1683 3 месяца назад

I dont know if you would have the time, but a video of you showing some albums or artists that inpsire you would be very cool. I love the guitar stuff too. Just an idea.

@dandilion62 2 месяца назад

please do a video on the gx 100

@gabrielperrymusic 3 месяца назад

Do you put the volume after your "amp" pedal because you really just want to control the volume and not your gain stage as well? I always have my volume before my gain pedals right after my compressor because it sounds more "natural" to me ad like the way a volume pot on the guitar behaves. Do you put it afterwards because of how the eBow interacts with your signal? Just curious. Again, great video. Maybe post a full improv of this board next?

@tennentj 3 месяца назад

I do drive, volume pedal then compressor. I like how the volume pedal interacts with the compressor. I hadn't thought of putting it after the amp. I guess it's like controlling the volume of the amp instead of the pot on the guitar.

@-processdrone- 3 месяца назад

I knew it would be a Strymon Fanboy rig within the first minute 😀

Warning: 99.99% of this video is talking: Alright!

@hillblocksview 3 месяца назад

Please clarify what's the effect of infinite sustain before delay? You mentioned this was in your chain but never covered this effect combination? Seems like an audio conundrum... 🤔

@j.hammer573 3 месяца назад

Hello Bill, since you have many feet of cable connecting all those pedals, do you turn on the buffer that’s in the Strymon Dig or El Cap or your Polytune 3? I’ve been told one loses top end after every ten feet of cable so I’m curious how you combat this. I’m assuming that through the true bypass pedals & cables, you have easily 30 feet of cable from your guitar into your interface. Like you, I’m ready to increase my pedal board size. The timing of this video is perfect. Thanks for teaching us how you go about it. 👍🏻

@chordsoforion 3 месяца назад

Good point about the buffering. I will generally experiment with the pedals to see which buffering configuration works best. In this case, the volume pedal is an active buffered circuit, so all good there.

@sprinkles-hour9719 3 месяца назад

wow

@MegaSkycap 3 месяца назад

Hi Bill! Nice gear and nice job presenting the board. .... Sounded like a little Cold Rain and Snow there at 15:30 :o) -- How do you like that Lehle? Does it have the built in ground loop stuff? Thanks... man, can't wait to hear some music from this set up!

@michael-TN 3 месяца назад

Hi Bill... would you recommend an expression pedal for post volume iridium or a stereo volume pedal? I'm wanting to use stereo out on the Iridium and these two options seem to be my only choices. Thanks!

@Musicislife668 3 месяца назад

I would have put the iridium last since it's an amp sim.

@chordsoforion 3 месяца назад

That is certainly an option. I normally prefer to put all time based effects after amp sim so they do not get distorted if I decide to dial up the gain.

@vovokidx9691 Месяц назад

nice pedalboard i have a question. can i use 12v on lehle volume mono s?

@fcojaviermorillo2451 3 месяца назад

Hello from Girona (Spain). Could you use or explain Ring Modulators?? I am sure you do not use them. But I think they could be good to ambient sounds.

@tendingtropic7778 3 месяца назад

interesting. i have a similar setup but my amp modeler end of chain. did you try that too? why do you prefer the position of the iridium here?

@chordsoforion 3 месяца назад

I normally prefer to put all time based effects after the amp sim so they do not get distorted if I decide to dial up the gain on the amp sim. In addition, the frequency response of the delays and reverbs are not bound by the frequency response of the modeler's cab sim. But certainly, putting the sim at the end is an option if you prefer a more traditional signal chain. It's all about getting the sound you like!

@Impractical_Engineer 3 месяца назад

Im surprised there aren't any Old blood noise endeavors pedals on this board. The Microcosm is a fantastic pedal and hate to say it but the best $400 you can spend for ambient music. Curious why you choose the Strymon Compadre over a Cali76 varient? With a pedal board there are no wrong answers there is just a playground of fun. Thanks for sharing.

@shitmandood 3 месяца назад

I’ve had the Microcosm a few years now and I’ve found it pretty hard to use. It has this tenacity to take over the sound, so anything you feed it just turns into a microcosm. Make a few songs with it, and they all sound the same 😆

@crock2434 6 дней назад

A peice of plexi glass or sheet metal would greatly increase the amount of real-estate on these rail style boards.

@samseitz9937 3 месяца назад

What about the shoes? How do they affect tone?

@chordsoforion 3 месяца назад

They are the heart and "sole" of my sound! Hee-hee!

I see what you did there ;)

@cfibanez 3 месяца назад

Where’s the looper?

@chordsoforion 3 месяца назад

I don't often keep a looper pedal on the pedalboard. Usually get it out for specific pieces.

@FreddyFuFu 3 месяца назад

Don't all these digital effects latency add up?

@chordsoforion 3 месяца назад

Not that I can tell. And not all of the effects use DSP.

@kidkique 9 дней назад

best?? Isn't that the volume pedal that fell apart on you?

@USAJ31 Месяц назад

You're not able.... Hahaha.

@JosephCompton66 3 месяца назад

What about modulation?

@chordsoforion 3 месяца назад

No need in my view with this combo of pedals, as the delays and reverb and the Infinite sustainer all do different types of modulation.

@JosephCompton66 3 месяца назад

@@chordsoforion Really cool what you have built. Love learning from you.

@worthmoremusic 3 месяца назад

Great but not an affordable pedalboard for the many... All you need is money, and plenty of it !

@michaelhmiles Месяц назад

Can't stand how most pedal boards are designed to use velcro. It sucks, not secure enough for me.

@USAJ31 Месяц назад

Waaah. Let's pick on a brand instead of focusing on the function of the board which is the whole point of the video.

@shitmandood 3 месяца назад

Nice to see the Brain Waves back in action. That’s my favorite, I only have it through the Plethora FX. Maybe the glitch of its chord sounds can be used as an effect? I can tell this is going to be an interesting album!

@chordsoforion 3 месяца назад

Glitches can often be used for artistic purposes. :-) And I need to get the Plethora back out!
