Andy is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs
nah, overrated
nobody does it like this guy. wonder how many songs he knows.
Underrated movie
Not only national, international.
The guys does pedals so good!
I got this pedal a week ago and been playing with it every day for hours. I still have settings to try but I can confirm that this pedal is very useful because it can also do normal reverbs. Specially in Abyss mode- you just need to dial them in.
It’s a great pedal. With my looper i create intense sonic landscapes with single notes using the presets or a heavy ambience reverb and then just dial it down to a very subtle verb for the redubs.
Its been a source of inspiration. Worth every penny.
Watching Andy play made me throw my plectrums away and play just with my hands around 8 years ago. Never looked back.
Plectrum? Damn near killed him. I am sorry.
Yeah i rarely use them a few people have commented wo you dont use a pick .
"Frogs"sounding amazing with this pedal.the song took on a whole new life.
Very cool pedal.I want 1 asap.
So, the pedal whisperer actually did whisper about a pedal...this feels like a moment of destiny
"...ᵈᵉˢᵗᶦⁿʸ..."
of ASTRAL destiny
Very cool isn't it?
.. Ohio
i like a lot of pedal demo youtubers, but andy’s are always the first ones i watch to get a real in depth amazing review.
Just bought one 2 days ago and today is the first day I tinkered with it and yes it's worth every penny of 200$. I don't know how many they will produce. I've got number 444. I've been playing 2 hrs already with this pedal and I think it's became my Number 1 pedal I own now.
Woah!!! This is the first pedal demo I’ve ever heard that’s made my eyes well up and I have no idea why. What an inexplicable emotional effect music can have sometimes. Andy I hope you make a double album someday. The first full of hotrods & boogies and the second a trippy groovy spaceout epic.
Beautiful sounding pedal and as always beautiful playing Andy! I find that I often listen to your videos for inspiring song ideas.
After all these years I still come to Andy for gear reviews.
Beautiful playing as always...and a tribute to AIC!!
This is an amazing video. Andy you crack me up. Excellent playing as always.
That was such an awesome demo, and the whispered parts were gold haha
Wow, that was one hell of an intro. Another excellent pedal demo, thank you.
Andys playing just gets better and better .no bounds left unturned.
When you broke out "Where I end and You Begin" was mesmerizing.
he loves it he plays it in an older Malekko Vibe pedal demo as well
Andy is one of the few people who knows how to demo a pedal.
I only came here bc I watched this video of an electric kalimba and they used this pedal but holy fuck, I never thought I'd miss a demo guitar player like Andy so much. It's been years and those demo riffs are just amazing.
I always love the Akron 'bit'. For it's a magical place that given us EQD, Lebron & Joseph Arthur.
I'm 54 years old and can't play guitar - but Andy's play always animates me, to try some tones and have fun with it - thanx for that !!!
Never too late to learn, my friend.
glad to see he's still an understated sneaky good player making great pedal demos
BTW 15 years ago this would take at least 3 pedals - well done EarthQuaker
Nice use of a Grayling! Awesome guitars that need more love.
Yeah it's awesome!!! Very glad to see that today! :)
Andy with a killer sense of humour there.
I didn't think I could like you more.
No better person to demo the pedal imho.

This guy blows him away
@@pjuliano9000 Pedal Zone is just a different style, I liked them both, it is probably more of a Pedal Zone style pedal though.
Stefan a.k.a The Pedal Zone is into this kind of pedals.
Two things:
1. “Destiny (destiny), Ohio (Ohio)”. Brilliant!
2. Was that ‘Where I End And You Begin’ in astral mode?
Would be quite a coincidence if it wasn’t. That’s a pretty specific chord progression.
It was
Fantastic guitar Andy👏.
My upvotes are always for the awesome jams.
I normally don’t like shimmer reverb but I like the astral mode on this! It sounds more like a keyboard player is playing to you!
Good it sounds so good with the plumes
lol Earthquaker's response to the Strymon NightSky. a lot simpler of a pedal and way more affordable, i can see this being a best seller for sure!
Totally had me at 🐸!!! 🙌
Love the AiC Andy!
He can make any pedal sound good.
Overflowing with ideas!
Epic intro jam
Radiohead - Where I End and You Begin at 7:20 sounds amazing
This is a match made in heaven for some ethereal, Blade Runner type stuff. “You wouldn’t happen to have an octave reverb on you... would you boy?”
Please make a video of you sitting down with a guitar and every thing radiohead has recorded and just walk us through your appreciation of radiohead.
Fascinating
Andy, you seriously played an ambient version of Frogs by Alice in Chains?! You are truly a god
For the price I'm all over this thing...noice!! And Andy with the humour, double noice!!
That opening jam though!
Nice to hear “where I end and you begin”.
I was about to buy an Immerse reverberator... but I may hold and wait a bit for this one to be (re)available! BTW you can set the length of the pitch bend by holding the stretch switch and turn the length knob to your liking!
was expecting a “guitar off” with the devil after that ‘destiny’ whisper 🎸💥👹. Btw, Andy smiles like he has a thousand inside jokes.
i wasnt convinced...then 7.20 astral sound demo and then u play Radiohead ....where i end and you begin....wow andy outstanding taste...as usual.
Andy is a much funnier guy than I ever realized. Excellent!
Wow. Interesting pedal.
Nice slide in with Frogs Andy! 😁
I’m very happy folks are picking that up, I thought I was being so sneaky haha!
sounds like a sparkly afterneath with an expression on the drag
Andy snuck in some Frogs by Alice In Chains. Nice!
Radiohead sounded great too!
Sounded badass like that as well.
Thanks, it felt right 👊
That Frogs song by Alice in chains was pretty nice to throw in... Such a gourmet player
$199 !!!!.....this is a no brainer !!!!....great demo Andy !!!.......your making me burn thru all my stimulus I haven't even received yet!!!....LOL !!!...
haha!! I live about an hour south of Akron. So funny to hear the shoutout. I thought about getting a job with EQD but it's just too far of a drive for me to make every day
Andy always looks like he just stepped out of the early 90s. It’s amazing and I’m jealous.
That's true. And that's probably why after all this years we see him on YT, the guy doesnt look older at all
With all those different modes I'm guessing that this pedal is likely FV-1 based. This just went on my buy list for sure!
Very distracted by “old black”. Looks great. I’d love to see a vid on that project.
I got an old behringer that have the same features more or less, my first pedal and still have it
As a bassist I usually r.m.e. at thought of any effect pedal. A compression device, chorus ran directly into the board is all I ever need. Yet this effect I really like.
No way..I'm an Ambient Bassist and I have 8 pedals on my board .. Soon to b 9 when this arrives..Then Dreadbox Raindrops to make it 10..I can produce a huge amount of soundscapes and this and the Raindrops will add to it..
@@patrickr6505 Doesn't really matter how you get your sound. It's just the fact you're feeling sounds you're getting. I guess your approach and mine are essentially yin and yang.
That Plumes OD is nice, I use it on a synth.
“Ohio” made me literally LOL! Great run-through, and tasty deployment, weaving into your own playing, to illustrate contextually what it’s capable of. Thanks.
New ambient reverb pedals from Walrus, and now EQD. Coincidence?
Shoegazey goodness.
I’ve owned both brands and will take Walrus Audio build quality, reliability, and customer service over EQD any day of the week! Currently own many Walrus Audio pedals and only one EQD after returning two.
Imagine this paired with Way Huge’s Atreides pedal, and a mel9 for good measure
AIC -Frogs. Nice. Great pedal
possibly the only shimmer that I enjoy, aside from the OBNE Dark Star
Anyone knows how the pedal compares to the Walrus Audio Slö?
Deff sounds like a shimmer with a crazy warp on it, kinda reminds me of sunbeam sound machine or early tame impala
What brand is the green electric guitar it looks and sounds great
i usually get annoyed by shimmer effects after a few moments but i stayed for the playing
I agree. Shimmer has been overdone at this point but Andy always kills it.
Let’s be honest reverbs in general have been overdone at this point.
That being said this thing has enough sonic tricks up it’s sleeve that it’s more than a simple shimmer verb
Andy is a the best..... wanted to know what kind of guitar and pickups r in the back ground black guitar... thank you for
I noticed Alice in Chains “Frogs” in there. Very nice touch mate. Much appreciated. 👍👌
Saw the stretch knob...immediately thought of the DOD Rubberneck and yep, a very similar function.
Your permed bangs represent the Astral Destiny well.
“Permed” 😆
As so many with curly hair can attest, that can be a frustratingly natural state.
what would you use the ascend and descend for musically?
“Destinyyyyyyy” “Ohioooooo” 😀
That's actually the way we natively pronounce "Ohioooooo" here.
Sounds like a less wild Rainbow Machine on some modes.
I agree. Same idea but musical.
Is the intro song a cover of anything or just him jamming? Great melody
Where I end and you begin on astral mode heeeeell yeeeeaaaah
OMG it's the WILCO pedal!
What's that first track you played Andy?
Akron Ohio, what can I say. Grew up there in Akron,, and bought music gear from Staff Music in Akron. Cheers!
4:28 Frogs by Alice in Chains...Nice. As soon as it started i knew i was that :)
what songs did he play in this demo?
Already wondering how it will sound with the night wire and an arpeggiator. Take. My. Money.
It takes pedals very well. I hooked up civil war fuzz, flange and delay and played the intro to Sabbath's Mob Rules perfectly.
@@larryc835 I've been gigging it for 4 months and it's awesome! I run it after dirt but before modulation, delay, and another reverb at the end of my chain and it plays great with everything. Definitely a keeper!
Sick
Oh great👍
Who makes that awesome pea green P90 tele?
I need this for Eurorack!!!!!!!!!
Captain Crunch riding on his spoon, thru the Density of the Astra plane.
It's beautiful. But can someone make a pedal steel emulation pedal? NAMM22?
Shimmer is one of those modes that I quickly recognized the limitations of back with the Neunaber releases.If you play some form of Ambient or soundtrack , I could see wanting this and the Afterneath in the sound arsenal, but if you write more conventional kinds of structures, it becomes more of a special sauce added late,- or a distraction as a composition tool.Like the Walrus Lore, it's a sweet sounding impulse buy that takes some higher skills to manipulate to any unique end.
I always seek effects that help me write differently, that impact the actual structure and become integral.Like the Afterneath, this does have some application, but it also has a tendency to make everything sound similar.Of course, my relationship to many types of reverb has long been hesitant because I've found that it can easily neutralize the characteristics I seek to emphasize.
Big EQD fan, though.Their Avalanche, Aqueduct, Grand Orbiter, Warden and Dispatch Master have always been on my boards, and are likely to remain.
Killer version of Frogs!
no demo for sub shimmer mode? :(
This vs Blackhole reverb. thoughts?
I really want this but I can't afford it :( why are cool pedals always so pricey!
Übel geil
Pedal order? Plumes before or after?
So, is that actually Andy's profile on facebook? 👀
Fucking Andy I don’t even need this pedal but the intro 👌👌👌
C. The happiest of all keys.
