Are you able to play live with all of that or do you only record?
Beautiful stuff man,made out of salt and dreams.
This is really awesome and inspiring!
As I have commented on another of your videos, I have a pretty large pedalboard but not as many as you have!. Obviously our singer says that I have way too many pedals and stuff going on but let’s just say that the crowd is really pleased to hear all sorts of ambient sounds going on in between songs in our sets! It also makes up for having only one guitarist and a drummer and fill our soundscape!
I have started recording myself for a little while now and I was wondering how I could create something « different » and this video really helped and inspired me a lot!
Thank you so much!
Looking forward to watching this, never been here before but I really love playing ambient bass jams, mad props for getting on camera and talking i want to get to that point but I’m to shy lol but I’ll get on here and play
This process is fascinating to me. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Wow. You also solved a doubt i had with the tri parallel from electro harmonix… What can i say, genuinely impressed.
I love your pedal board. This video is so good.
Greetings! How do you achieve going stereo out of Microcosm to the input of the GFISystem Synesthesia? I'm trying this signal flow out but haven't been able to understand how to patch the two out to the single in of the Synesthesia?
Thanks for going into such detail. This is super helpful.
What a great demo! Beautiful music. I’m rebuilding my pedalboard (bass player too) and wondered how important pedal order is. What’s cool is I have several that you have too! Here are mine – what order should they be in?
SuperEgo
Strymon Compressor
Strymon Volante
Strymon Nightsky (just got it!)
Boss tuner
Boss Super Chorus
Darkglass Alpha Omega Ultra
EHX Micro POG
EHX Mel 9
What do you think is the advantage is of compression after preamp?
Amazing stuff
Nice pedal connectionszzzzzzzzzz
Use compression and eq always helps
Wow! Incredible! I m starting doing similar things, and your video is such a good inspiration.
I crafted a ehx’s switchblade-like efx-looper to swap the place of the ditto between pre/post effects, it could help you in 44:14
Keep doing this!
Impressionante ????
Really enjoying this and your other vids. Great work! This is really a direction I'd like to go in with my music. If I think about one addition to my chain that is based on your setup, I think it may be the Tri Parallel Mixer. I don't have anything like that. I have an EH 720 looper, a single Ditto and an EH Freeze that could be the three inputs into a mixer like that. That seems like a pretty important component of your setup?
Have you checked out Steve Lawson at all? I really like his ambient style too.
Great video. I learned a lot! Two questions…what does the buffering do for you here and why is the “empty loop” concept not required to prevent breaks in the loops? Thanks!
Love that you go so indepth into your process. An absolute treat to watch.
very very informative presentation! I subscribed. Great and seriously useful video! Thank you!
would you be able to maybe discuss your key pedals here for a limited budget? Like if you could keep 3 and still be happy with the set up what would they be? There is so much money in this video ????
Very informative presentation..and a beautiful chilled out vibe going on… Wonderful pedalboard…
This is great. Thanks!
That’s soundscapes are ???????????????? thanks for the video????????
Tx dude! Interesting to see !!
we got the same PRIME board 🙂 you ever try using a eadgc tuned bass ?
