SolidGoldFX Lysis Polyphonic Octave Down Fuzz Modulator Demo 

The expression port is only meant for connecting an expression pedal, not other effects pedals. You only use the in and outputs on the pedals to make serial effects chains. You need something like a Boss EV-30, Moog EP-3 or Mission Engineering EP-1 to use the expression functionalities on the Lysis.

@@thepedalzone Sooooo, just got my Lysis pedal and thought there was a problem with the expression jack. I was using a short right angle patch cable and it didn't work (mono). So I grabbed a longer (straight end) cable (which was stereo) and it worked. Any idea why this is happening?

Thank you! I think the swell section is my personal fave as well 😊

I don't know how you personally define a "good" guitar player or someone who plays "well". If that means high technical proficiency, shred abilities and muscle memory full of licks and riffs, then that's not me. I'm not a "shop player" or whatever you wanna call it. My abilities are what's on display in my videos. I can't do more than that. A good musician to me is someone who plays to the song, and not someone who plays to be heard. So in this demo context, it means someone who plays to make the pedal shine, and not someone who tries to shine through the pedal. My strength is that I'm willing to invest the time it takes to learn a pedal deeply, almost to a level of product specialist, so I can concisely show what makes a pedal special. If that requires me to hone certain playing skills, then I'm also willing to invest the time on that front. I know my limits, but I also know that I'm willing to push my own limits in order to demonstrate a pedal the way it deserves to be demonstrated. Thanks for the taking the time to watch the demo, and then write a kind and thoughtful comment. Means a lot to me.

ThePedalZone ; That's exactly what I meant! And it's so important, because it makes everything you do both authentic and credible. I can listen for hours, just to hear you play. Your playing moves me everytime. ❤️

Your kindness makes me smile. Thank you 😊🙏

Very fitting description, my friend 🙌

Thank you very much! And yes, I totally agree with the "Synthy but not synthy" part. It sounds synthy, but still remains firmly rooted in the world of guitar, and I love that!

YES!

@@thepedalzone I had to repeat that statement because my thoughts were pretty much obliterated after hearing that pedal. I was trying to wait for the new year to get another pedal (your show and a few others have been very effective) but since you had pretty much sold me on the 76plus (truly astounding pedal) I had to hear its darker, more bizarre cousin. Annoyingly not disappointed. Bad for my wallet, challenge to my discipline, portal to another tone dimension. I may need pedal acquisition therapy. Enabler! =)

Really happy you liked the demo and the pedal. It’s one of my favorite releases in recent years. You should really check out the latest MkII version of it. I have a demo of that on my channel as well. It takes the original Lysis to a whole new level of epic awesomeness

@@thepedalzone heck yeah I'll look at it right now. It's like you make organic synths but without midi that's what these pedals industries needs to do is make it available more and advanced to where we don't need hardware keyboards or midi pickups any longer

Very true! Exactly why I love it as well 😊👍

Do you mean it captures particular elements of a synthesizer while not capturing less favorable characteristics?

ChrisSignvm - No, just mean it sounds synthy while still being firmly rooted in the world of guitar.

​@@neonether I can't think of any less favorable characteristics when I think of a good synthesizer (except the price maybe). ; ) It just sounds like my bass guitar is being patched into the mod section of a good analog synth. It doesn't turn my bass into a synth if that makes synths.

@@T-Hawkeyes Ah you're playing bass! Even cooler! For whatever reason bass always sounds better with synth-like fx. Yes makes sense, basically have the filters and pseudo-LFO, wicked!

Very kind of you, man! Thank you! You should definitely give Lysis a go. It's just killer.

Yeah, the WARP feature is too much fun. Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words 🙏

It's a super interesting pedal concept. SolidGoldFx are really awesome at thinking outside the stompbox when it comes to fuzz and filters ☺

ThePedalZone For sure! Another thing: Man, you just HAVE to turn some of all the brilliant, brilliant stuff from your demos into some kind of record. Just a tiny little EP with equal measures of ambient and fuzz’o’doom... 🤘🥳

GO. FOR. IT!

Epic!

Thanks, man! Happy you like the pedal, and I'm honored to hear that my demos manage to stand out to you, even though they use a format that you usually don't gravitate towards. I just personally like to let the pedal speak for itself. It's rude to interrupt someone who's speaking, hence I reserve my verdict for the end :)

Cheers, man! Happy you enjoyed the video 😊

Oh, man! Thank you so much. Really means a lot to me ❤🙏

Happy you enjoyed it! It's easy to use software synths with outboard gear like pedals. There's a ton of great tutorials on the subject on RU-vid 😊

Thank you very very much 🙏

Thanks, man! Really happy you liked the sounds and the playing.

Thank you so much 😊🙏

I’m really happy you liked the demo. Lysis is such a special and inspiring pedal 😊

Thank you very much for the kind and encouraging words. Truly means a lot to me. I'm honored that you find inspiration in my demos 🙏

I 100% agree 😊👍

Hahahaha! Never thought Mr.Oizo would ever be mentioned on my channel. But here we are..... Here. We. Are! 😂 Hapoy you enjoyed the demo. Means a lot 🙏

It's such an epic pedal! Recommend you check out the MkII version of it though. It's way more versatile. I have a demo of that one on my channel as well :)

Awww, man! Thanks! Happy you enjoyed the jam. Always fun to make ☺ And heck yeah you need this pedal. It's just too much fun to ignore 🙌

Awww! Thaaaanks! Totally go for it. It rules 🙌

The decision should always be GET BOTH ☺ Happy you enjoyed the demo. Means a lot!

Thank you VERY MUCH ❤️🙏

Thank you very much!

Wub wub wub! The Low-Pass filter is just ridiculously good 🙌

Happy you like the jams. Means a lot 🙏

Man! This thing must sound crazy on accordion. You're welcome to tag me in videos where you give that a go 😊 Lysis and Cirrus is a wonderful pair. You definitely can't go wrong with that combo. And thanks for the kind words about my demos. Means a lot to me 🙏

Thanks, man! Kind of you. Really happy you liked the tones and tunes 😊👍

ThePedalZone writing some similar stuff myself so definitely gonna have to grab one of those 🙌🤘

The rate can go super slow

Happy you dig it, man. It's a super fun pedal. Yes, SolidGoldFX is based in Montreal, Canada. Only used the Avalanche Run for delay and reverb. The loop composition was made with a Ditto Looper.

That would be a dream come true! ❤ Especially if a single pedal could do that 😂

Makes sense, seeing as the pedal appears to draw inspiration from the visuals of Isis. Background kinda looks like the cover of Oceanic and the font is definitely based on their logo.

That sounds like a lot of fun 😊

@the3-dkiller1 yes run that trough the hummingbird it is amazing

@@thepedalzone it as an Epic Sound

Sweet should sound epic

That’s a Nick Silver Blue Moonlight P90 pickup 👍

@@thepedalzone thanks

Happy you like the demos, man! Regarding your small board. What's your budget like and what style of music do you play? Any specific pedals you've already had your eye on?

@@thepedalzone I play a lot of different styles (jazzy, neo-soul/R/B, modern progressive) but i really like clean sounds a lot with some modulation. Fx Michael Landau's Trichorus w delay sound or Manuel Gardner clean. When it comes to overdrive I have just ordered The Duellist, and I hope this pedal will cover most of my overdrive wishes. I have my eye on the Synesthesia - and if I could pair that with a delay and reverb pedal (maybe as a combined pedal) - what do you think about a board like this?. I dont want to spend more than 900 dollars on reverb, delay and modulation pedals :)

Maybe I should start with the specular tempus? The reverbs sound great, but I dont know if it is gigging friendly or if it would pair well with the duellist

Happy you liked the demo 🙏I don't really have any ideas for signature gear. Don't really need to in this golden age of pedals we're living in. One inspiring dream device after another gets released every month 😊

ThePedalZone thanks for the reply. It’d be interesting to see what you could come up with. I’ll still keep an eye out tho ;)

All the wub 🙌

Mission Engineering EP-25 Pro Aero 👍

@@thepedalzone thank you! And Happy New year!

I use a CIOKS DC7. The best PSU on the market. If you need something even more compact, then check out the new CIOKS4. It’s crazy small but powerful.

@@thepedalzone wish I got it on sale :(
