I just realized that all these gear demos are freakn cool sample material......
Chop, chop, chop!!!!
Chop, chop, chop!!!!
Ah yes....midi....the ultimate wall punching data protocol!!!!!
Gotta love that the new Elektron box uses mini TRS MIDI ports that accept both protocols.
Wish I had a buddy that has a elektron....like when your a kid and have a buddy with a pool.
It has an "event horizon" knob.
Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see...
Saw that one at the movies. Still one of my all time fav horror/scifi flicks......
Before I had kids I watched sooooo many movies it's ridiculous.
I should sample the crap out of it!!! Not so much dialogue as noises and yells and such.
hmm.
serious question:
besides the sorta gee whiz factor of a pedal like that can you actually hear yourself using it?
it may be because of musical biases on my part, but i thought mostof the sounds he used wouldn't work for me in a musical setting.
opinions?

No. Most amazingly weird pedals aren't that interesting to me. Even granular stuff doesn't light my fire. That said, this Cooper pedal has my ear.
Outward.
2 minutes in and I'm hoping the guy doing the demo is named "Wall."
How long can to survive this demo?

I made it 20 seconds. Whatever is going on with that dude's voice is not doing the company any favors.
About these fancy glitch pedals and so on: there is an awful lot of great gear on the market these days so I am guessing everyone wants to out-gadget each other to try and get an edge, resulting in expensive, complicated effects with lots of knobs and steep learning curves, with more features than you'll ever remember to even try. With digital signal processing these days they can make these machines do any crazy stuff you can imagine. The granular stuff probably would've been impossible with 70s technology, short of a machine the size of a Fairlight CMI I'm guessing.
I love this stuff, but I can't afford every cool pedal that shows up and even if I could I don't have the time to learn how to use them. Some of them seem to so thoroughly disconnect what your hands are doing on your instrument with the sound that comes out of the speaker that I question if I could even credit myself for the music I record with them anyway.
So I allow myself the luxury of a crazy pedal now and then, but I know I will only be happy with the ones that allow me to feel like I'm making music without cheating too much. I still love synth pedals, and sure I will have one of these cool granular effects one day, but I feel like you can go a long way in creating spacy music on your bass with more traditional effects such as reverb and delay and octave and flanger and so on.

His ill fitting gloves are extra odd. Watch Scott. He knows gloves.
When did @ugly_bassplayer start doing pedal demos?!
It's exactly what you want from a demo of a fuzz pedal called the Colon Exploder. It's even used on a Moog.
Don't watch this at church or the office.
