Cloud Conversations by: Omar Shabbar
zhlédnutí 91Před 2 měsíci
Cloud Conversations consists of two main components. The first component is a guitar composition that I started writing during my artist residency in the southwest region of Costa Rica in May 2024. My compositional process started with listening to the bird song in the surrounding cloud forest and interpreting those sounds on my guitar. These melodies sit on a low drone that spans the compositi...

This instrument is composed of two main components or modules: a prepared guitar, which is actively played by the performer, and a passive, adaptive granular synthesizer agent, that listens and responds to an audio input. These two modules are combined to form one larger instrument, with the purp...

This is the second single off of Omar's upcoming EP 'Your Old Life', which is slated to be released in the fall of 2021. Like the rest of the songs off of this EP, I wrote this pre-pandemic, but it's funny how the lyrics can take on new meaning over time. I originally wrote this a few years back when I was in a long-distance relationship. I was feeling the grind of working late nights every day...

This song explores what that feels like, the fea...

Ditto x 4 Looper Demo: 'The End' by Omar Shabbar
very interesting and useful video...i´m looking one of these amps ann after seen recording specs this video i´m shure its perfect i and very useful for my pourposes ,thanks for share¡¡
So can you change to the clean channel and also set it to activate the delay woth the one switch?
hof mini win
all marked up with a sharpie??!!
Ah man you got the white one 🧐😍
How is it holding after 6 years?
I sold it haha.
Can't say I wasn't expecting that.@@OmarGearReview
@@OmarGearReview What did you get instead?
@@theostragonidis7548 I just don't use a switcher anymore. As far as switchers go I think the pxl is decent but I just don't use switchers anymore.
@@OmarGearReview I see, thanks for your reply. Why did you decide not to use a switcher? I can't imagine myself playing live without one.
What year model?
You are missing one big chunk of information. What about STEREO pedals?
Great video! Thanks! Just purchased it myself.
Based on your recording the HOF had a lot of low frequency resonance that I am going to roll off. You notice it when you switch off the pedal and the low-end resonance disappears. This may contribute to the general sentiment of the comments that the Surfer is sounding 'better". The only flaw I can hear from the Surfer is that the Plate almost has a discrete echo that is more like a delay than a smooth reflection in the plate. It would be helpful to let both ring out to silence to hear any deficiency in the bit depth. It was hard to tell if the drop outs at the tails were pedal or user. Thanks!
the buffer on the pxl unit removes pedal pop sounds?
Thanks for the video, do you have any clue why my Joyo makes terrible popping sound between presets ? Im using two power supply for the 14 pedals on the board. They are good quality power. Im considering giving an exclusive power just for the joyo
Hey Omar, how do you feel about the pickups? Did you ever change them? I see some complaints about them being just okay, but they sound pretty good to me.
Hey BigGoose, no not at all- I love the pickups in this guitar. I have a MIM strat as well with stock pickups and I prefer these to my real strat!
@@OmarGearReview that's great to hear!
Well done video. I am in the market for a loop switcher and trying to make my mind up with function vs. cost in mind.. Touch decision... Thanks for doing the video. Phil NYC / Jersey Shore Area
Why the useless background music which make your e planations inaudible?
Sounds good with the Tele. Thanks
I often read comments saying switch are noisy? Any truth with that? I have a EHX Silencer pedal and I don’t like that switch bec you need to hear a “click or snap” sound.. I have a Providence Preamp pedal and switch is like a butter smooth you’ll feel insecure or uncertain a bit if on or off have to look at the LED 😂 because it doesn’t give you that “click” sound. So that’s both extremes, how’s this Joyo switch like?
Hey there! Sorry it’s actually been a while since I’ve owned it now haha. If I remember correctly it was pretty clicky of a switch, it wouldn’t go through your amp like some pedals do but I’d say it’s similar to electroharmonix pedals. Hope that helps!
Thanks good review! still thinking if I need one or not.. maybe depends on songs you’re going to play, those with drastic changes in fx.
Thanks good review. I know this is 5yo😊.. is this still worth getting? Thanks
Hi, great video! I'm wondering if it's possible to turn on individual pedals using their own foot switch despite them still being connected to the switcher. For example like how you have the phaser, I'm wondering if you can use still turn it on and off with its foot switch even though it is connected to the switcher and get the phase sound. Thanks
Hey there- if it’s going through the switcher thing you need to have that loop selected or engaged in the preset that you’re on- if it is then you can turn the phaser pedal on or off on the pedal itself. It’s meant to be used with all pedals on.
Not sure if anyone has gone deep into this product but the manual does not mention if the 1/4 jacks are TS or TRS? I have the black edition pedal and always wondering since some rack effect units are TRS balanced outputs.
Picked up the skysurfer recently and love it for home recording, it's a cheap, simple but really effective tool to add some colour into guitar overdub tones
Thank you for not playing blues riffs!!! 😂😂😂 I’m always looking for reviews where the guitarist plays in my kinda style.
Thank you
No problemo
Thanks for making the CZcams video on the Ditto looper. Any suggestions on how I might use it with a band? When we try it now, the drummer has a lot of difficulty following it. Suggestions? Thanks Brien
I use it as a manual looper the other way you said, I go to edit mode and I turn off all the loops in the joyo with all the pedals on, and I go pushing the switches as I need them. Cheers!
I bought skysurfer and immediatly sold it. Its awful reverb and you can use it if you really want just that sound of reverb. For less money 100 times better is Behringer reverb DR600
Hola quisiera preguntarte yo tengo 7 pedales análogos en su orden están: Tuner, Wha Wha, Compressor, Distorsión, Noise gate, Flanger y Delay y necesito saber o buscar que pedal controlador me sirve para cancelar toda la cadena de pedales que tengo activo y quedar en canal en limpio del amplificador "(acústico)", para que en su momento de retomar solo piso el pedal y tengo nuevamente encendido la cadena que tenía en un principio
So If I understood correctly please confirm...if I press the fx switch and THEN record a loop that one is going to be recorded with the effect right? And what about the loop that was recorded before is that going to be affected by the effect or it will stay the way it was recorded? Thanks
Yes!
Love this!
Thanks for this demo
I have a Hall of Fame two it rocks
This is so great.
Beautiful song and very evocative video!
I have one. Really great guitar
Both are a tone and volume sucker, needs a compressor after.
Dude. It’s pronounce “MAY suh”. It’s a Spanish word that means gorge or canyon
Beautiful tone and really solid playing. Great review, my man! Peace and love from NL
Crap review and comparison, iritating buzz throughout as well.
Great review, very helpful, thanks a lot!!!
Great video!!!!!!!!
Whats diferrence betwern es339 and 339 PRO??
honestly I have no clue haha!
I think its de coil taping and de pickups
Spot on!
Thanks Tom! This is part of my jury package for school (no in person juries this year obviously)!
Beautiful work, Omar
Thanks buddy!
THR10C or TRH10ii for clean breakup boutique tone?
I own the Pro and have to say they are a very good peace of gear. I have one problem the first time I switch on my reverb it pops like a tank reverb sounds but after the first time it stays silent. I just turn the board on first and switch the reverb on and off before I power my amps. I can set the switcher up for a wet/dry/wet amp set up useing the Tuner switch for the dry amp and run pedals on its line. Or you could run a series of pedals on each loop. I have a OD and EQ on one loop. My pedals and the switcher are ran off three one spots one for the switcher one for digital pedals and one for analog.
It's a toss up. When you get to that point, it's basically splitting hairs. Tough to "beam" a sound in the middle of a gig. Then again, do you really need a different reverb sound in the middle of a gig that any normal person is likely to be involved in? They both sound fine. It comes down to "do you like red or silver and the extra money"? I sorta like red but I'd probably opt for saving the dough. Just a note... to connect your I-phone to the HOF it's probably going to run you an extra $30 just to get the get the Apple camera connector cable plus the purchase of another cable if you don't already have it (both cables to edit HOF cost me about $45).
This hits a lot of feelings. Good stuff!🤩
Thanks man!
Is this pedal an exact version of the larger hall of fame?
