MY BUDGET DRUM MACHINE FX CHAIN 

This popped up on my feed today and was most glad to hear these great grooves produced on inexpensive gear - a testament to the benefits of using your head and not your wallet - Well done Sir!

This is about the first descent sounding drum + guitar pedal videos I have seen.

I think another thing that makes drums sound good is playing them through a big soundsystem, thats the one thing thats hard to mimic at home. I've been to carnivals where some tracks are very simple and sound like a simple drum machine with no processing, but played through big speakers they sound great.

Behringer Bass Limiter Enhancer is a great budget pedal for drum bus compression and groove driving, will demo it soon. Also The Juicer by Mooer does wonders on saturating and adding air drums in a transparent way. For three modes of analog dirt the Behringer Distortion Modeler is a must, it features a Rat, DS-1 and a Distortion plus circuit.

cheap guitar pedals work a treat on drum machines. I've tried the boutique stuff and honestly I don't think i'd spend like 200 on a compressor when this one is 30 dollars and does what it needs to do.

That's a nice rhythm. I was initially thinking 'Hmm, that's not going anywhere', then you proved your point! I produce a lot of ambient noise and have been thinking of bringing back some beats to liven it all up but I can't afford to go insane and I like the idea of using an analog machine, the Arturia could be it with the mix of pedals I have. Thanks for the demo. I love RU-vid these days, it's been great for reviewing older gear and picking up musical ideas.

I was thinking about selling my Drum Brute but you may have convinced me to keep it and just add some effect pedals to it.

That's a great Idea and really interesting and resourceful Video. I'm intrigued about the KT76 though as I've read only bad things about its lifespan. So three years later: how's your Klark Teknik holding up? Cheers

Thanks - in the process of putting together exactly the same sort of setup. It sounds really great, nice job!

Wow, this is the bit that I didn't quite understand! I was already going to buy a drum machine but then I suddenly thought that the sound ALL of them produce is just meh. I didn't even know that it needs to be processed! You have achieved an amazing result! And I am definitely on a budget too so I find your video very helpful!

I am tempted to go hardware but it's also true that all of these pedals can be done in ableton... why did you choose the real pedals?

i could hear the signal noise from the thumbnail

Brah, try OD on cymbals and crashes, my secret sauce.

Which effect do you suggest on which drum instruments? :)

Say hey, bud! Quick favor to ask. Would you put a guitar reverb pedal before or after a drum machine, such as, the BeatBuddy for live use?

Drumbrute plus lots of cheap behringer fx is a great budget setup for drums, i went the same route and have not regretted it. Lots of possibilities and even a six year old could do it. Guaranteed fun

Dude, WTF!!! This is... was a state secret.

After weeks of deep thinking my conclusion is : Analog rytm mkii. Saving money for this instead of buying tons of cheap gear. A rytm is better investment at 2nd hand market. And after picking the rytm you still can buy some cheap pedals too.

"...it was delicious though"!

What a great sound & setup! I'm look into that DrumBrute to potentially replace my my RX11 (thanks for sharing mate)

I love my Boss DS-1 and Roland TR-6s awesome 90s shaped hardcore kick drums

Good work. I'm sure you know gas can be a problem. And yes I wish I knew about the tr8s, but you know the tr8 came out 1st. I bought that. It's kind of competition and I know. Bit like the dx7 with some people. It's kind of 50/50. The Akai Tomcat, it really shreds. As long as you don't use the sequencer. It's fantastic. Apart from this, beutes got t FM?. And workflow. They aren't world's apart. I'm sure I'm going to get disagree with by somebody. Lol. Like drum brutes as well. Anyway. I like to use two drum machines for Sonic variation. Normally one digital and one analogue. Nice to mix things up for variation. Thank you for your video. Immigrate when you can get delay . If it's not synced of course. And in time with your drum machine. You can basically make double time. It's great fun. Thanks for tips for the compressor. Cheers

Damn, I wash everyone on RU-vid was straight to the point like you on this video. Nice content, mate. Subbed.

Nice tune at the end!

I’ve paired my drumbrute with my korg er1 mk2 over midi ...I then run them thru a sp303 for effects and samples then clock to a korg kaospad for synth sounds run thru a tc electronic hall of fame reverb ..

Nice track, I'v looped it in the last half hour :)

Fun!

delicious

I'm WAY too dumb to know what any of this is, but I can't afford a kit and I got like thirty songs I can record tomorrow if I could figure out how to get drums from a machine.

Lit!

Hello Alfonso! Great Video! I have a question: In a perfect world, it would be desirable to have each sound routed to it's own compressor or it's common habit to route all sounds together to a single compressor unit ? thanks ! =)

Escape from Horrorland was so sick back in the day!

This is sweet. Im similarly trying to adapt a studio setup to a live one. Any advice from anyone here on the following. Have the stereo outs from a drum machine going through 2 distortion pedals (1left 1 right). What can i incorporate to enable turning the distortion on/off with the press of 1 button or pedal? Havent seen a stereo distortion pedal (2inputs) or a stereo line switch pedal (LRA&LRB). Ive got panning going on so it has to be stereo. Any ideas peeps?

Yo man this is awesome thanks so much for uploading it! REeeeeally curious where the sustained bass line is coming from though if you're only using two drum machines? I've got a tr-8 and seriously considering getting a drumbrute impact. next step is to get some pedals, so your video is perfect for what i'm looking for. Thanks again

Greate video. I just got done watching noise London and thought you were him because your voice sounds the same!

Thank for sharing. Very impressive. Good job.

Please tell me the filter for cowbell or rim(drumbrute)!!!!

How did you connect all of this? I don’t understand the chain from the source to end... :/ It’s great sounding!

Shit man this sounds insane. Now I want a drum brute.

That's so fucking cool.

Agreed keep it cheap n you get great results

very good video !!!thanks

Cool, this is the way forward.

What is generating to sustained bass notes?

Someone found a use for V+ boxes.

LUSH! Thanks For Sharing!

really cool ... would you recommend for industrial techno along with the tr8-s a dark matter distortion pedal or ms50g or skip the distortion?

great stuff! and very inspiring

sick

How do you have the drums routed into the mixer? Do you have the kick or other drums separated into their own dedicated inputs so they can be effected separately?

Cool

Nic3 1n3

Nice

Thanks for this, very cool! Have you found a way to effect each individual output with the same effects, while still being able to record each drum separately? I’m trying to do a similar setup but I would like to be able to record each drum on its own track. I’m guessing I’d have to upgrade the ol’ mixer...

wow!!

My favorite pedal to use on my drum machine is the Behringer Super Fuzz used on my Korg volca sample the superfuzz has a boost option I just crank up the EQ, set the gain to about 10:00 and it gives it this punching us in your face sound without necessarily sounding distorted

God that little bit of dust on the lens is so irritating lol Great video, I like the philosophy behind this. I’m not exactly rolling in cash during covid, but down the road this is a great idea

I felt the same way about the akai rhythm wolf.

Nice, but I confess that I was expecting to be knocked out of my socks by that fancy drum machine. But it sounds so soft that made me a little frustrated...

what is a boddle of wine?

May I ask where in your chain the Klark Compressor is located? The video is very inspiring for me!

i did it even more cheaper, go myself some cheap fa-66 interface, had some old computers, downloaded illegal valhalla version and made some cheap ass midi interface so i can control the effects.

Underrated video. So underrated
