@@nobesmusic I’ve come back to this video years later to thank you for helping me buy this pedal. This and SLO are the best investment I ever made. Both are same yet different,I don’t think I can explain it but I sure can feel it. Hope you’re still making music for us. Thank you.
@@mrmohantyexperiments that is awesome! For sure, and yea I totally feel you. I have both and feel like slo has more of a niche for that ambient side and the fathom has a better all around feel. But they are brothers for sure 🔥
Wow the best demo so far! You actually made me buy this one today LOL! Hey do you mind doing a demo but using an acoustic guitar and the different ambient texture from this pedal?
@@GiovannyAlabi1 I actually haven't but it sounds so sick! they are both killer, and I can do a lot of ambient stuff with the Fathom, but it seems like the Slo is just a bit more designed for that. What kind of music are you trying to play?
@@nobesmusic I play worship, but my main instrument is the acoustic guitar which I use some Effects to create some ambient texture. Currently working in my new small rig: 1st Signal line: Guitar > Tuner > LR Baggs Para DI > Main House 2nd Line: From the PARA DI FX loop out go to > Lucky Cat Delay > Spring Tank Reverb > Fathom > Main House
@@GiovannyAlabi1 is say the fathom is more of a working mans reverb that can do a lot of different things. From small to large halls and plates but also the cool lofi and sonar, which you can both low and high octaves or just low or high. It’s super usable!
I own this pedal and it sounds absolutely amazing, the only thing that I would change is the Plate Reverb function, it is too similar to the Hall one, I'd prefer something totally different. In conclusion really a great pedal, it also has secret delay function which can be activated pressing the sustain button while turning the program knob from H to S
Amazing sounds. But I have to wonder what I would use it for in a band setting. The intricacies and nuances of the effects wouldn’t even be heard through the mains. I love it though.
Thanks! It definitely depends on what genre you play. The cool thing though is the fathom can do everything from subtle verbs, to big halls, and experimental verbs! I use it for so much. I just played Sony Hall today and the sound engineer complimented my reverb sounds. So they definitely heard it! 👌🏽
Your demos are great man, also the hall algorithm on this pedal is one of the best I've ever used. Does it sound the same as the hall setting on the R1?
I'm partial to the Slo, but I wish it had stereo output. I'm using a Flashback with a very short delay set to ping-pong to fake stereo separation with the Slo right now.
Daemon Electricity I haven’t been able to try the slö yet! But they are applicable to many styles of playing. And wow that’s good idea! I am also a stereo lover, especially with delays and reverb. Walrus Audio is definitely making moves into stereo though! The D1 Delay is insane, and it’s pretty safe to assume that there will be more stereo effects within that Mako Series! I’m STOKED and can’t wait!
Oopphhh good choices. Cloudburst if you care for stereo, fathom if you want everything from subtle or normal verbs all the way to crazy ambient sounds, and fable if you are trying to get to the wildest ethereal soundscapes you can make
The Counter Tyrant dude it’s such a great pedal and I completely agree. Probably the coolest LoFi reverb sound out. I actually haven’t tried the Slö personally, but from what I hear, it sounds like the Slö has that extra push for more ambient stuff. I mean the Fathom covers that territory really well, but it seems like the Slö was literally made to play slow haha. I think the Fathom also has an emphasis on the whole modulation warble thing. But I would really have to play the Slö to give you an accurate response!
@@nobesmusic yeah, I've been listening to Synthwave for a few years and have just recently gotten into lofi stuff like Final Fantasy X soundtrack and that sound just draws me in and I'd like to make some stuff with it. I may get both, not sure lol atm. My signal chain atm is Korg Pitchblack Tuner > EHX Synth 9 > EHX Freeze > Walrus Audio War Horn > EHX Ram's Head Big Muff Pi Reissue > MXR Analog Chorus > Walrus Audio ARP-87
The Counter Tyrant love Synthwave man! I have fallen in love with The Midnight. And I have actually recorded some tracks for this cool band OM-53. You should check them out. That sounds like a sweet setup. The Fathom or Slö would be a killer addition. Both would be a DREAM!
@@nobesmusic The Midnight is fantastic! Excellent way to take an old sound and make it new again, wish they were on the radio. I'll check OM-53 out! I've never heard a bad Synthwave song, which is hard to say for any genre. I definitely want to eventually branch out and do collab stuff at one point or another. There was a really cool RU-vid band that collaborated with musicians around the world doing video game music, HappyFunTimeBand, I think? They did Streets of Rage stuff, which is cool. maybe we could pair up one day? I'm sure we could find a cool drummer and bass player
