I discovered this as a stoned teenager and thought I’d unlocked an inter-dimensional portal. I remember the whammy pedal in particular was totally crazy sounding.
You can do that no input synth thing with a mixer also. Simon the Magpie has a video showing that kind of stuff. All the eq knobs affect the tone and you can use pedals there as well. I like how vocal the filtering in the Phaser sounds.
Very cool idea . Would have been fun to see it paired with drum machine. Chords are ok but a simple beat really let’s the weird sounds shine without needing harmony.
Wait do you mean like putting the drum machine in the chain or to substitute the amp with the drum machine and route the chain of pedals into the drum machine input?
My girlfriend who was in another part of the house while I recorded this, asked me later if I'd seen anything going in the street because she kept hearing sirens... oops
This is a great video. I’ve used a delay pedal in the past to make some funky sounds but I never knew you could basically make a fully functional modular synth table from pedals. Wicked!
Super ! I love your channel, you already helped me improve my guitar sound with your video on flangers, I copied your settings on the OD-3 before the BF-2 (I happen to have the same pedals as yourself) and it made a big difference !
Just tried this with a Whammy into a Muff. If you set the Whammy to the octave up and down harmony mode you can get a violin type sound as you hit the sweet spot with expression pedal.
You can do this with pedals that have multiple outputs, rather than into the amp and out. The Digitech Bad Monkey has an amp output and mixer output. You just patch from the mixer output into the input, and out of the other output you have your self-oscillation. Everything else works like the way you explained in the video. Nice work!! I would love to hear what sounds could be gotten from using some exotic reverbs on full wet. You could get some more mellow sounds by doing that and reducing the volume.
Hi, I use pedals for soundscape, most of the digitech dirt pedals have this feature. I have 4 now, as our Lord Josh Scott showed us, the Bad Monkey is a superior Tube Screamer clone because the eq is better. The digitech hot head is a DS-1 clone, with, Yep, a better eq. The Death Metal is a HM-2 I beleive, I think the eq is the same though, but you have the extra output and cab sim function, that all those era digitech dirt have, I beleive you hold down the footswitch whilst connecting the power. I think the mixer output has the sim on it, you'd have to look it up. I have the Digidelay and the Turbo Flange as well, the delay has cab sim, but the extra socket gives you ping pong delay!
Schweet broh. Exactly the video I was looking for. Have an old intercom i think will work as a mixer/3 octave keyboard. An old turbo chorus pedal, and an old crystal oscillator from a work truck radio. I have no idea, but I am pretty stoked. B Thanks for the inspiration.
Thats how they have been creating noise music (might be called antimusic) for a long time, eg. Merzbow, Masonna and similar acts. Bunch of guitar pedals and analog synths connected to a loop and a guy screaming into a microphone.
Never would have thought to do this but it seems so simple and obvious now that you've walked us thru it. What inspired you to use the amp as a sound source for the pedals? My bandmate/ friend Ryan still asks me which side is the input sometimes ... I mean bro.
this is up my alley. Akin to "no-input-mixer" approach to synthesis/sound design. I didn't know you could do this. What does the amp input being patched into the pedal input do, in terms of lay-person's explanation of the electronics?
This is really crazy. I was wondering this is just self loop that generates sound (from noise ? idk), but what if you add your guitar signal into the loop?
@@MichaelBanfieldGuitar I know I'm late but, I'm also curious about this. Could you put the y splitter in the fx loop with the pedals you want to oscillate while keeping your guitar and other pedals in a normal chain?
MIKE BANFIELD, have you tried taking the effects loop SEND and then connected that to the fenders amplifiers TREMOLO Channel input#1, while the guitar is plugged into the NORMAL channel input#1. You can also try making a video lesson about both of these sets ups, but also try connecting the guitar pedals backwards in this circuit bent setup because they will oscillate when the output port is now the feeding an INPUT signal through the output port. Try make a video about this
I just looked at the Superb variety of excellent subjects you've chosen for your channel and after seeing your truly talented playing ability especially while demoing gear, well...I just HAD to subscribe. Thanks for the really useful educational vids; they're like training lessons!
