you nailed it with these pics.
Love that Farm pedal. I use it same way B always on buffer up!
I see a farm pedal, I click
This guy reminds of Jack Fossett. He reviews gear also. Their facial expressions are the same.
great video! its amazing how the chroma console can really (do) get close to the rest of the list!
I don’t have any of these. What a bummer. Guess I’ll have to make wonderful sounds with “2nd best”. . . or maybe even third best. LOL. . .
I don't have the UA pedal you chose, but I have another. Excellent quality. But, I have two Deco's. a V1 in front of the amp for Saturation and a V2 last in the loop for Double Tracking. One of the best pedals ever made. Nice video and choices.
You don’t need any of these
Guys is all GAS fueled infomercials
Videos like this are just poking your dopamine reward systems
You’re very funny! “you can get it cheaper on Reverb or whatever”. Good one!
The Deco is a great pedal. I use it on my bass board for the double tracking feature.
I'm not a fan of The Chroma Console. I think it sounds better on a synth than a guitar.
if that's how you dial a ts no wonder you hate em
Do any of these have programmable presets? The chroma is fine but if I get a sound I like but have to bounce away to get a useable sound can I get back to it? Same with the deca. I find I'm needing 4 different delays and not enough pedalboard real estate for 4 different delays.
Have you played the Deco V2? I’m also slightly obsessed with that pedal but I’m in the mindset of ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ so I haven’t upgraded but am I missing something?
well, you got a point. most of em are expensive beauties.
i dont mean to come across like that jerk know it all sales guy in a store who refused to sell me a polyphonic synth trying to force me to get a monophonic to learn proper synthesis but:
having demoed pedals at trade shows my experience with noobs is: they dont yet hear the difference … chroma console is complex. fun. maybe turning a knob and shit happens is enuff, but id advise getting a 2 knob compressor, a pleasent medium drive (blues driver odr mini) , ge7 most importantly an analog delay first. line6 m5 for finding out wich mods are liked and exploring other fx. tc flashback ii. got mine for 80. some holy grail or hall of fame. if noobs spend half a year with that theyll approach chroma console in a whole other way. the deco too.
For drives I feel I would prefer a hot tubes or walrus 385 for a more unique sounding drive.
A Rainbow Pedal ????, how appropriate for you…????
Really good overview, thanks! I have the Deco – love it, I came up recording to tape (including having 2 1/4 inch Studers in the studio to ADT with!) and I think Strymon have excelled themselves with this one. Also familiar with some of the later UA stuff – tasty reverb, indeed! That Chroma thing definitely looks like almost too much fun! Just a couple of my own personal favourites to throw into the loop in case you haven't tried them – Effectrode Blackbird 12AX7 Vacuum Tube Pre-Amp Pedal and the Crowther Double Hot Cake (Paul is a friend from way back, I've used Hot Cakes since he started making them in the late '70s). Cheers.
3:54 Nope, still gonna run you $400 unless you find a deal local. Solid group of pedals, especially the best pedal ever made (Deco v2).
5:17 there's no such thing as too much reverb
Could you tell us where console is in your board? Because I can’t understand where to put it in my board with different drives, boosters and delay.
Your audio is clipping pretty hard! But these pedals are awesome!!
Never heard of some of these. Great vid!
4:11 "it has midi in and out so you can run it stereo"
Not sure I follow what midi has to do with stereo?
The thing that always gives me trepidation about videos like this is the fear that if I buy all the pedals everyone else buys I’m gonna sound just like everyone else, which is my least favorite thing
Dude you sold me on the Chroma already haha
