The Joy Of Feedback: Fjærlett 

Ha!

In German both "feather" and "spring" are also one word: Feder 🙂

@@rawjena5180 Dutch "veer" also means both things. :)

That is correct. Fjäder is both feather and spring (the object, not the season, running - the action of movement, nor source of water) in swedish aswell.

Ha, true 😄

so true! just because of that i sold mine but it's beautiful for sure.

Like a Synthie

Actually, it's now up to 2 lifetimes! Your grandkids might get yours if you order now

Gamechanger Audio's Light Pedal has a feedback mode. Follow it with an EQ and you're set. It can also be controlled with an expression pedal.

Yeah I say that in the video, too, and even do a demo patch in Ableton. Fjærlett is indeed a nice instrument but you can whip up something similar from regular gear.

I thought this the first time I heard about it, only just realised it has a spring reverb unit built in. I wonder what using a digital reverb pedal and eq pedal would do. I'm not in any illusion it'll sound the same, but great experimentation will often yield something interesting. I'm really into using my pedals for feedback mixing.

a part of me enjoys seeing boutique devices like this *because* the opportunity for myself and others rolling our own version will often turn out quite unique in character. in this case, I feel like i almost certainly already *have* used a chain like this with some feedback before, if only as part of a delay feedback path. but that’s fine- like HB says closing the video, these things are quite special in combination, and spring verb is one of the rare items where the physical presence can matter sometimes. @stuartchapman5171 on the subject of feedback with digital reverbs, it’s often quite unpleasant in my experience unless at low wetness with a substantial 100% wet delay and a lot of high frequency rolloff-which quickly takes it further out of Instrument territory into Effect, but very worth experimenting with. results will also vary between algorithmic and convolution reverbs, in ways that are probably too complicated for me to sum up in a little statement. just try things.

I started with a guitar playing background and was a fan of Sonic Youth and other such experimental artists so I spent a lot of time in high school just patching pedals through while my guitar feeds back. Its great fun, and probably why things like modular synths appealed to me. I think at the time I had things like a phaser, a boss digital delay, distortion.

Lol

@@Hainbach I am terribly sorry. Me and my partner throw bad puns at each other every chance we get.

Apparently I was just to shy - you can easily take the cover off.

Same here buddy

There is positive and negative feedback. Pick your favourite

I sometimes put in a little upbeat tune or so, but this instrument is rather tough to play uplifting 😄

It is the newest edition of- not familiar with previous ones

@@Hainbach That'll be it. It's a lovely device, I would never part with mine, even if it has one fewer voice :)

Yeah it sound simply cool

Spring reverb - graphical eq - Mixer. Then you are set!

Oh it is the latest version I think, maybe write them?

Signed up around the same time as me then! So you should be up soon.

Same here

@@Hainbach I hope so

@@PabloOrtegaMusic Hopefully we will hear from @gardosen2889 very soon

Oh I was so careful with the protection as the manual was so cautious about touching the strings. Never even thought to take it off, so I played it with the tape, which I really enjoyed.

@@Hainbach Feel free to remove the spring cover!

Clean distortion is what I go for these days - analog sounds, processed and edited digitally

The real trick here is that when you can't get rid of distortion, just integrate it into your workflow.

I haven’t tried that but if you put it on a bass amp or a ton it will for sure interact

Sadly its not a magnetic pickup.

Ja es ist beschränkt - ich hab damals sehr mit mir gerungen weil ich wusste wie ich die sounds auch so herstellen kann. Aber war dann doch zu hübsch und praktisch als das ich widerstehen konnte.

You can shout into it for sure

No I just love Nagras. Works of art and pleasure to work with.

@@Hainbach Awesome. Great machines! Great channel, Hainbach, love your audio device explorations! Keep on rockin'!

Not really, but you can mix up something with a spring reverb, a graphic eq and any mixer.

In June 2020

😱

Not as much as you would think, but it certainly has an extra bit of vibe.

Yeah that is the first thing that feedback will emulate.

I will hazard the guess that it will sound beautiful. I have a Metallik Resonator and that love a feedback

A liitle bit out of my price range regrettably. Maybe you could do one of your app things.

Oh my, that is crazy

So if you know of any available second hand, let me know :)

I had not heard of that - thanks for the tip!

Oh my interesting question! I think you should have an amount of stock you can afford to make. If it sells out and you are unsure how many you can make and how many you will sell - waitlist. If you know you can make a big batch every three months and sell them out - batches
