A super under rated delay pedal is the seymour duncan vapor trails, It's an analog delay that you can control the modulation and go very extreme with it. But it also has an fx loop that you can plug a split stereo trs cable into it and run like just the delay through a pitch shift. You can also just plug an expression pedal into the fx loop and it works as a volume pedal on exclusively the delay. It's a very fun pedal to experiment with that no one talks about.
Yo those line 6 module pedals are siiick I have the Uber metal, put the gate on 2 and the distortion type on “pulverize” so gnar lol
These are all kinda pedestrian for shoe gaze. Morley Echo Volume, Ross Stereo Delay, boss Slow Gear. and if yo are going to add a DS1 you might as well say the Boss Feedbacker Distortion which is a D1 with a harmonic sustain function.
Thx for sharing these awesome pedals. It was very inspirational.
The Verbzilla is basically the granddaddy of pedals like the Meris Mercury 7 and LVX. Angelo Mazzocco (DSP engineer at Meris) used to work at Line 6, where he collaborated with Jeorge Tripps on the Tonecore series. If you've never tried the Mercury 7, I have to insist that you do! It includes the best reverb algorithms I've ever heard (including the ones from Strymon). It's a shoegaze-heaven kinda pedal.
ive noticed what you are talking about with the ds 1 and how its hard to tame helps to have your amp already overdriven a bit by its pre amp or with a pedal, either way the extra compression on the signal helps to lessen how much it boosts the signal in ur rig.
Never heard of the hog, but it is literally the sound I’ve been looking for! Great video!!
The whammy is not polyphonic which adds to the charm. Basically, the wet signal can only latch on to one tone at a time so chords cause the pedal fight against itself adding a random glitchy, warbly tone to it. You can hear it in Subterranean Homesick Alien by Radiohead on Johnny’s guitar parts right when the band comes in on the intro. POG/HOG pedals are much cleaner and don’t give you the weird glitchy effect that’s iconic in the whammy.
I’d have to say very cool vid esp opposed to all the boutique type pedal videos out there by so-called experts lol. (After all it’s all personal taste)
I have the line 6 Echo Park and its tge duvking mode that keeps me coming back to it
Man I haven't thought about the horrors in like over a decade haha primary colours is awesome
Mathew followill from the Kings of Leon uses the verbzilla in some of their old records. You can hear it on the track Arizona.
As a bassist I’ve used the verbzilla since it came out it was my first reverb I personally loved the cave setting in my old band I would use it to thicken up a song and make more atmosphere in the background. I also would use a dod fx72 bass flanger but more of a chorus sound it just sounds better and I would use my old friend the boss odb-3 bass overdrive. Used one since 2006! That’s pretty much it with effects minus the sans amp to bring things to life or to get a svt blowing up your amp sound.
Joff from wolf alice also used the hog in the studio and said it was cause the horrors as well. Also that reverb into the distortion was awesome, I’ve never heard anything like it
This is my kind of channel! :) I like the sound, even though I don't like any of those pedals, except for the Whammy. That one is a classic. I stumbled upon the Whammy sounds by getting the TC Electronic Brainwaves in 2021 when I started building my first pedalboard ever. Up until then I was only using digital modellers by Boss and Line 6. Those things are great, but digital modellers just gave me too many options. I got option paralysis. I spent more time tweaking sounds than playing. I also had no reference of the amps and the majority of the effects that they were modelling, which made it hard to know what the F to do. But when I built my first pedalboard with an overdrive, distortion, chorus, tremolo, delay and reverb, plus the pitch shifter... My world changed! I got the pitch shifter to tune down when practicing and playing songs by other bands that were tuned down, and I didn't have a guitar that was in C or D or dropped C... I had my standard, Eb and dropped D guitars. Well, it turns out the Brainwaves opened up a lot of things for me, and I used it more for layering octaves. The problem with that pedal, though, is that the dry sound comes through for a few milliseconds at the initial attack, which makes the thing I'm playing sound dissonant, out of tune with the mix turned to 100% wet. I recently bought a DigiTech Drop and it's so much better and more transparent, they're not even in the same league. The TC Electronic Brainwaves shouldn't even go to the mix 100% wet, because it just doesn't work. That pedal did teach me more about the whammy effect and bunch of other cool things, but the only reason I still have it is that e.g. the DigiTech Riccochet doesn't give me the possibility to mix in an octave up AND an octave down (or whatever interval) at the same time, and a mix knob to let me choose how much of the try signal I'm getting. I haven't tried the Electro Harmonix Pitch Fork, though. Maybe I could, and see if it does the same thing that the Brainwaves does, only without that dry signal leak with the mix at 100% wet. On the other hand, the Pitch Fork doesn't have a Whammy function and doesn't have the Mash function. If DigiTech made a Riccochet 2 with a mix knob, I would buy it in an instant, even if it didn't have two voices. Maybe I can contact DigiTech and suggest a product. :)
Great content. I stopped watching guitar YouTube (apart from Eric Haugen), as all the videos were so repetitive and never touched on the genres I enjoyed. Excellent to see content that is relevant to current alternative music. Cheers
Just picked up a Digitech Whammy v4 for $40 and a pack of sm0kes Quite stoked!.. now I just need a power supply lol
Yeah man awesome stuff
came for the pedals stayed for the Primary Colours shoutout
