Who is this guy? I watched all the videos he is in, and he is one creative dude, but NOWHERE is his name mentioned! Take a look at his fretless Wal in the chorus demo, also very musical work.

His use of this synth pedal is very unique and exciting, especial in the last 40 seconds or so

..that vid makes me want that synth pedal. is it really that good?

I've been researching that and other pedals all week. Tomorrow I'm running out to the local music store to see what I can do with it (if they have it that is).

People complain about the tracking, but I've heard a select few people say that if you learn how to use it correctly, the tracking is no longer a problem (neck pickup, roll off treble, compressor is recommened to help prevent harmonics from confusing the pedal)

So noone knows who this guy is?

If I was him, I'd be angry that boss is using my music and creative energy without giving me any credit.

I'm sure he's well paid to do that. Probably someone who works for the company.

Notice how he plays the PEDAL... instead of forcing his licks onto it, then complaining that it doesn't sound good. Nice!

The sounds are very dated. If I was into 90's techno or 80's synth pop it would great.

It looks to be a wrist band, or something similar, to keep the strings from ringing out when he takes his hand off them. I've seen a lot of people, both guitarist and bassist, do that.

Here's a thread on it.

It's used to soft mute the bass. It's fairly common.

Whoever he is, he's asian. Makes me believe he works for the company. Maybe an engineer or designer or something. Not that being asian has anything to do with it, but after four tall boys, it made total sense in my head...
