Agreed.
Sorry I won't make the same mistake again.

i'd have to think of the proper terminology for how i would describe what he's doing.

it's definitely formidable.

All the more formidable considering the tools he uses.

All I've seen him use is an sp404, sp505 and a korg microsampler keyboard.

That's like building a house using only a hammer and a screwdriver.

It simply boggles my normal human mind.
His brain isn't wired like a "normal" human.

(Sorry if I come of as a huge fanboy.....its because i am....haha)

Mine isn't either. But it hasn't benefited me artistically.

Ya....me neither.

This all-pedal Sound is wild.

I've been doing a fair amount of pedal looping since I got my SY-1. Some cool sounds.

When it comes to pedal looping, I always bring up this guy's video. He's in France I think and he did this ten years ago, using multiple loops with delays, a Dark Energy synth, and a Boss SYB-5. He fiddled with all the knobs until he got it to run automatically without having to touch it. This one video inspired me hugely.

That Cooper FX Outward V2 pedal is amazing. I've been wanting to get a decent granular delay for a while but I don't know where to start and they all seem to be fairly steep. This one runs about 300 bucks new but it sure seems nice.

Ok, that's dope.
Just what I need, more reasons to get pedals.

Wow. Awesome read.
Missed that one. Thanks for sharing.
Sure explains alot about his music.

Imagine how much actual time he spent on that MPC and SP.......

Plenty of companies know how to do that for ya it seems.



Who am I to judge, i just got my broughton hpf and joyo echo verb today.

And now I'm on the lookout for a tape recorder, the one I found is defective (kicks some dirt).....hipsters drove the damn prices up!!!!

 

[ugly_bassplayer]

I sure one of you guys can help me out on this.
As some of you know in my band I play a dual rig....bass and "guitar". I'm looking for a stereo in and out pedal that I could use on both channels at once.

Something along the lines of a noise making pedal, bit crushing, granular delay type stuff.....you get the idea.
Something to wreak havoc and go nuclear.

Like an ABY pedal with an FX loop?

Zoia could but that's more bread than you've probably got to burn.

that's a darn good question.

Ibwas thinking of maybe a boss dd7 but I don't think I can go as ape $hit as i would like.

Atm..
No

One day...Zoia will be mine.....oh yes....she will be. (Wayne's world voice used)

I feel the same way. I am not yet ready for Zoia.

 

[steubig]

the boss -500 series has stereo in/out and you can have two effects at once. i'm pretty sure tou can have two parallel singal paths.

they're not exactly complete manglers, but you can do some. the md has ring mod, some flanger stuff that can be made gnarly, their splicer deal.

might be worth looking into it.
