My 8 year old daughter was worried about having to go to school without me for the first time tomorrow. She had difficulty settling down and falling asleep. We tried most things, but in the end it was the music of your Sunlight demo that made her calm down. She said it sounded like me playing the guitar. Now she sleeps next to me. I just wanted to let you know that you made a difference tonight. Cheers!
This is the most meaningful and beautiful comment I’ve ever received. Thank you so much for sharing that moment with me. I’m on the verge of tears. From a father to a father, thank you. And believe me, you’re the one making a difference. What a caring and kind father you are to your little girl. Tell her that I am rooting for her. She’s got this ❤️🙏🙌
@@thepedalzone Thanks for the support! One of the best and sometimes saddest parts of parenthood is watching your children grow up. My daughter was very proud of herself today. I wish you all the best with your family and the launch of the new website! Sincerely Martin
One of the nicest comments I’ve ever read ! Wishing much happiness for your daughter. Hopefully she makes good friends and starts looking forward to school!
Good to be back with another demo, and it's even better when it's an Old Blood Noise Reverb pedal. The Sunlight is sooooo cool, and I had a blast making this video. Seriously, Sunlight is now one of my absolute favorite OBNE pedals, right up there with the Dark Star. Hope you dig the tones as much as I do. If you do, then please consider leaving a like, comment or sharing the video with your partners in tone. Every action goes such a long way. Thank you for your constant kindness. Means everything to me
Dude! What? You watch my channel? I love your videos so much, mate. And thank you so much for turning me on to Really From in your latest video. Had never heard about them before, but they are amazing! Right up my alley. Keep up the great work.... and thank you so much for the kind words about my stuff. Means a ton ❤
@@thepedalzone I had no idea you watch my channel, that’s awesome! Have to thank you for your videos, I started my pedal journey properly last year and your recommendations and playing have been a huge part of shaping it. Glad you like Really From too, such a great band!
Excellent demo, as always you filled my ears with sonically beautiful music as you put the pedal through its paces. You produce some of the best videos out there. Thanks for being you and for doing what you do.
When I found out about this pedal a few days ago, I thought to myself "This is Stefan's next video for sure" and you did not disappoint! Thank you as always for a great showcase of of a great pedal. Mine should be arriving in the next day or two. Can't wait to pair it with the Dark Star.
Haha! You know me all too well it seems 😂❤ I can't say no to an OBNE reverb pedal. Love their take on ambient pedals, and this one definitely doesn't disappoint. So many killer textures in it. Happy to hear you have one on the way. You're gonna love it.
I'd always overlooked this pedal, as just another modulated expensive reverb. I think the features are lush for ambient noodling. I'm interested. No menus or overly complicated controls and fiddly dip switchs. I'm not a guitarist but I'm really becoming a fan of this show for its demos.
First little bit after the intro had some strong LOTR vibes. The pedals are great, but I so enjoy the way you speak guitar. Beautiful as always Stefan!!
LOTR? Really? Well that's a first anyone's ever made that connection. Very cool though. Loved those movies and loved the soundtracks. And thank you for the kind words about my playing. Goes straight to heart ❤ #MyPrecious
@@thepedalzone my precious 😂 yeah man, I think maybe about 1:30 the line was similar enough to the “Concerning Hobbits” melody to give me that warm fuzzy feeling I imagine might come from sitting in a sunlight-drenched Shire. Time to rewatch the trilogy!
You don't use reverb? Wow! That's so wild to me. I feel completely lost without at least a dash of reverb 😂😊 You rock! Really honored to hear you enjoyed the tones.
Wow. Your mastery of ambient techniques and tones is unrivaled. I follow a couple other ambient music makers, but your demonstrations are by far the best I have found. Thank you for the inspiration!
Found this in a store today, tried it out for about 10 minutes and was mesmerized by the sound. Lovely stuff. Then I saw this video and I’m glad I got it as I had no idea it had these levels of functionality.
Great. Now I have to buy an expression ramper ( @12:13 absolutely sold it). I've been Pedalzoned again! Hahaha, but really, Stefan, this video is an absolute masterpiece. Truly. If I hadn't already ordered the Sun Light, I certainly would have before I even got half way through this video. Your ability to write music to the VOICE and CHARACTER of each pedal is amazing. Thank you for what you do.
Dude! After watching this video over 10 times now, I’ve finally purchased this pedal. Your playing is unmatched. Great riffs and so pleasant to hear. Thanks!
I'm super honored to hear that my demo inspired you to pick up a Sunlight. It's such a unique reverb pedal. Absolute worlds of ambient textures in that thing
And I have only had my Neunaber Shimmer Pedal for a few months!!? Now you give us this incredible case of “bells-and-whistles” in a “blow my mind” video?! How dare you 😃🤔?!!! Thank you. I think … Gifted man. 🎸👨🏼⚕️🎸🏴✌🏻💟🤷🏼♂️
I'm gonna get bruises on my chin from my jaw hitting the floor so often with your OBNE (and other pedals of course!) demo's. Absolutely beautiful playing and an incredible showcase for the pedal.
@@thepedalzone my pleasure! Thank you for the demo's! As a question, if I may, I'm looking for pedals to inspire creativity and weirdness so... would you recommend this first or the Visitor first? :) thanks
Welp. I'm blowing my money on this for sure! Glad I found this channel. You show these tones by not playing the same blues lick like everyone else does. You have it fit the vibe of the type of thing I'm going for.
You're kindness and support always means the world to me, Vanessa. I know you'll make magic with this thing. And I'm so happy to see that you're giving this YT thing a proper go as well. Your videos are great. Talent like yours can't be contained!
I'm so excited to receive mine, it sounds just so incredible. There is so much to devour with this pedal, it is so well thought out, it is going to be ALL over my next EP, that I can be sure of. Lovely playing Stefan, melancholic, thoughtful and quite beautiful. Melting tape and comb modes are to die for and as always, the synth section was superb. I think this is my favourite of all your demos (and that is HIGH praise) really superb, you captured to mood perfectly. LOVE IT (and you). Stay well.
Buddy! I'm completely floored by your kindness. Thank you. Means a ton to me that you enjoyed the demo so much. This is really a superbly inspiring device, and I can't wait to hear you put this to mesmerising use in your music. You're the best!
What an incredible video - it’s not a demo but an ambient master tutorial! You’ve done justice to this pedal, and this clip unlocks so many exciting tonal possibilities from this latest release by OBNE. Ive always wanted an OBNE reverb, and now it’s just a matter of trying to get my hands on one where I live. Thanks as always Stefan for sharing such mastery over pedals, but presenting it with true enthusiasm and passion. It always comes through with your playing, and your videos are always beautiful to watch and listen to.
Dude please release some music! You really have incredible writing ability; much more rare than great playing in my opinion. It'd be a shame if we never got to hear a full length album with your ideas.
Thank you so much for all the kind words about the demo. Means a lot. This pedal definitely is the ambient truth 😊 And yeah, definitely reach out to Richard from Indra Guitars. He can make custom pickguards for any guitar. He's a treat to work with 🙌
Wonderful playing as always Stefan. I was thinking “My, how many sounds can you get out of this thing” and then I noticed the video wasn’t even halfway done yet! It’s amazing. WIll probably have to add it next to my Dark Star (which I love dearly thanks to your demo of that).
Thank you kindly! There is indeed a staggering amount of sounds in this thing. I feel like that's kinda OBNE's biggest strength when it comes to product design. They always manage to jam a ton of sonic versatility into a super intuitive user experience, which makes it a joy to explore. Sunlight and Dark Star are definitely made for each other. They are complementary designs, and you will be able to conjure some brilliantly unique soundscapes with those two combined 😊
So much beauty ! What an amazing musical perspective of that beast, thank you Stefan for sharing those amazing moments, gives hindsight definitevely ! Cheers !
Dude, you've made my day and I haven't even watched this video yet. I'm not particularly sold on this pedal but I've had a hard last couple months (broke my knee, so I literally can't do anything - can't take care of my 10 month old, can't help my wife who now is doing literally everything, can't really sit for long enough to do any productive work, and can't really get to my guitar equipment to be creative). I was thinking last night that I wish there was a video that gives me the vibe of me playing guitar and the musical inspiration behind it because I miss it so much. And then I wake up to a TPZ video, and I legitimately couldn't be happier. Thank you friend.
@@LoftOfTheUniverse Awh, that's very nice. Thanks for asking. Almost a year later since my injury and I'm at about 90-95%. I still can't take my (now) year-and-a-half old down steps, but most everything else has fallen into place. I'm more fit than I've been in a long time (PT transitioned into personal training and I've lost 30 lbs.). I released my first full-length album this year (after playing guitar for 20+ years). And, yes, I picked up a Sunlight and I love it! You give me hope for the comments on RU-vid. :) Have a great day mate. And if you like ambient/drone music, shoot me a line, and I'll send you a download code for my music.
Beautiful demo! If you ever do put all the songs in these demos together it really would be a beautiful album. On Vinyl that would add an additional magical touch
Awwwww! Thank you, man. Yeah, something definitely clicked in me as well, when I tried that combo. I was having a hard time pushing the composition forward, but the second I connected the Alpha Haunt to the Sunlight, it became clear as day where the song was going ☺
This by far is the most musical pedal on earth … I don’t care want sonic sound you give it .. it just is very scary good … thank you is it “old blood noise endeavors “ whatever the name it’s so incredible … I wish a lot of musicians gone today could hear this 🙏🏼🔥
great demo of another awesome pedal by Old Blood Noise; the Sunlight is really special and unique, something new; not just another take on another reverb;
Already pulled the trigger on this pedal but was waiting for Stefan’s demo to justify my impulse buy. I’m most looking to experimenting with the comb mode, and I can imagine this pedal will force both Hydra and Slo off my board for a while. As for Stefan’s icy rendition, I’ve heard warmer demos of this pedal, and I put it down to shorter daylight hours in Scandinavia.
Hope the demo was able to justify your impulsive ways. I would be very happy about that purchase if I was you. And hey, use it together with Hydra and Slö, it would be a magical ambient tonal trifecta. They are so different and will complement each other nicely. I don't really hear the icy nature, but it's probably because I have a fairly bright core tone. I like bright sounds, whereas others like darker sounds. Sunlight will sit nicely with whatever foundational tone you prefer.
@@thepedalzone Stefan, thanks. I never say never. I have an Alexander Sky 5000 reverb/delay on my board, which sits before more delay and reverb, and pedalboard real estate is valuable. I like having options.
Hi Stefan, well great demo as always, I am now using my OBNE Sunlight on my vocals to make pads, while I play bass over it. It's mesmerising. Waiting for my Dark Star to arrive to pair it with. In the meanwhile I have paired it with my EQD Transmisser and I just returned from another galaxy, these two together is awesome too.
Just had to come back to this video, it was a long late night shift at my second job, and used this to wind down and have a nice peaceful night, thank you Stefan for your amazing playing! Happy new year buddy!!, hope you and the family had a beautiful Xmas together 🤘😎
When I improvised on the last melody in the video (just during the first view) and hit all the passages perfectly - It so satisfying to know that we’re on the same wave Thank you Stefan
