For any of you thinking of buying this pedal: it's a great pedal but it is not intuitive. Start off with just the 2 footswitches on the left illuminated RED and all other lights off (i.e. original Fender Blender mode). You can then use the 4 dial controls on the RIGHT (not left) to get the classic fuzz sound (e.g. Hendrix). When you are happy with the classic fuzz sound you can then start playing with the crazy stuff. Also, the signal from your single coil pickup may not be strong enough to trigger the Sag feature in which case it will need something to boost it.
This shouldn't make sense but you guys highlighted the features better than Kevin Shields did. And you got the glide guitar thing down. Awesome demo, great job
Ok so, despite the 500 £ price tag, in less than 5 hours after the release, the pedal was sold out. And in less than 2 days, you can find the pedal for 1,500 £ on Reverb... I really wish that Fender will release a basic version of the pedal cause I'm sick of all those speculators who don't a give a shit about the sound, MBV, shoegaze, music in general or anything anyway. They're here to 1) grab the pedal as fast as they can (and by doing so, prevent true enthusiasts from getting it.) 2) make money with and that's it. Both models for sale I've seen were still sealed so, no possibility of "I've tried it and it's not my thing"... I Hope I'll meet some of those despickable soulless swindlers one day...
ah thanks! it's in the works. next song is out sept 7th! you can follow along here instagram.com/violetoscillationshoegaze violetoscillation.bandcamp.com/album/a-nation-of-pilots-feat-abstract-in-sound
I got one too! It took me almost a day to wrap my head around all the settings haha. It's definitely a wild horse pedal, a bit tricky to tame, but totally worth it. Lots of tonal options. Cool tunes btw, I'll check out your pedal!
Just got one of the non-limited edition pedals - is the far left switch BYPASS supposed to be a lot stiffer and give a deeper press than the others? Or is mine a bit wonky? It was very resistant when I first tried it, I thought initially it had broken when it first was pressed - although functionally it still seems to work. Thanks
yes, the higher octave is selectable as shown in the video & the pedal has two modes. in the original blender mode you can have a non-octave vintage fuzz or turn the higher octave on if you wish. in the new octave blender mode, you can dial down the sub-octave so it isn't present or can span three octaves: sub-octave, fuzz signal & higher octave switch.

I got the 2000's reissue when it first came out and was disappointed by the headroom. I had to turn all the knobs up to get it to unity gain. Are you having the same experience with this one?
Shields mentions in the interview that the reissues got part of the circuit wrong but Fender didn't believe him until he actually sent them his personal original blender.
Amazing!!! What tuning do you use for "A nation Of Pilots” Love this song and chord progression!!!I need more new songs from Violet Oscillation please🙏🙌
Cool but I prefer basic and small pedals for octavio Jim Dunlop Billy Gibbons doing great job with eq channel also silicon or germanium fuzz is good for fuzz .
it's a good pedal to own, Although I didn't get the Limited Edition but I managed to get the Standed one and I tell is a the best pedal That I have ever have used :)
@@AScoppa You're right, Skippy. It's definitely more for you Machine Gun Kelly clones. Does it plug straight into your autotune, or is that a separate signal? Now all you need is one of those robo-tuning Les Pauls so you don't have to take it to Guitar Center every time you're out of tune. 🤣

sounds so much better here than the fender demo
that is exactly what I was thinking
All the standard demo people really messed this up. It needs people who really understand Kevin shields and this video really does.
the j mascis one? no, that's great!

when i first heard about this pedal i immediately went to your channel for a demo. you (and the pedal) didn’t disappoint, great video!
glad to be of service!

thanks for enjoying my music / video!

Demo of Sag function
This is amazing! The music and explanation in this video is perfect. Thank you for sharing!
thank you!! so happy you liked it, i *love* the pedal!!
That sag mode is such a sick feature! 💜
very versatile as well, you can get a range of sounds from it :)
Wish I could afford this dream pedal😭😭

Exactly. Bastards.
Best news of the week!@@yannleroch1760
mega, mega thumbs-up for your fun and exciting exploration of this new work of art.
thank you so much amanda! i'm glad you liked it :)
im so glad i managed to buy one before they sold out, this pedal is awesome
so happy you could! such a beautiful pedal, you are going to love it :)
Sag with the octave up ⬆️ engaged sounds insane
my fave 😊
Awesome vid. Thing is sick. Great demo thanks
cheers adam :)
man if you release an album with music like the stuff you played I'm buying it
ah thanks! it's in the works.
next song is out sept 7th! you can follow along here

God, in retrospect, the way this pedal can make a guitar sound like TV static would make Big Black jealous!
Oh no it's beautiful
yeeeeeee
This sounds awesome
I got one too! It took me almost a day to wrap my head around all the settings haha. It's definitely a wild horse pedal, a bit tricky to tame, but totally worth it. Lots of tonal options. Cool tunes btw, I'll check out your pedal!
cheers! really love this pedal, the sag control is my favourite thing rn :))
just secured mine!!
noice:)
Wat da faaarrrrttt this is beautifulll
it very much is!! 🤩
11:42 Shoe betcha!
that first tune you played was sick
yo thanks, it is here violetoscillation.bandcamp.com/album/a-nation-of-pilots-feat-abstract-in-sound
That is saucy
yes, correct
Did you stay on humbuckers for the whole video?
This thing is nuts!!!!
yesssssss!!!!!!!!!
Amazing pedal
very versatile! i really enjoy the sag & sub-octave features :)
Lots of knobs and switches. In the right hands, it could be a really creative noise generating tool.
it is indeed!
haven’t been this excited since they repressed loveless two years ago
i haven't been this excited ever lol
Oh my gosh I need this!!
yes you do danny, yes you do
Just got one of the non-limited edition pedals - is the far left switch BYPASS supposed to be a lot stiffer and give a deeper press than the others? Or is mine a bit wonky? It was very resistant when I first tried it, I thought initially it had broken when it first was pressed - although functionally it still seems to work. Thanks
how did you get that slow down drop out effect
So you can have straight fuzz without octave? And then your choice of sub or octave up and the octave blend mode?
yes, the higher octave is selectable as shown in the video & the pedal has two modes. in the original blender mode you can have a non-octave vintage fuzz or turn the higher octave on if you wish. in the new octave blender mode, you can dial down the sub-octave so it isn't present or can span three octaves: sub-octave, fuzz signal & higher octave switch.
So basically one day after the release they are already sold out? That is sad , would have loved to buy one
What do u do for a living
Hi. Is this pedal very similar to original one? Thanks

I got the 2000's reissue when it first came out and was disappointed by the headroom. I had to turn all the knobs up to get it to unity gain. Are you having the same experience with this one?
Iirc that reissue was notoriously kinda shitty. I would suspect this one does not have that issue
Shields mentions in the interview that the reissues got part of the circuit wrong but Fender didn't believe him until he actually sent them his personal original blender.
Amazing!!! What tuning do you use for "A nation Of Pilots” Love this song and chord progression!!!I need more new songs from Violet Oscillation please🙏🙌
ah thanks so much! i have a lot more in the works, teased the next song at the end of this video ;)
I was at work when it released :(
this thing rips
yes it does!
It would of been cool if they released it in a different color to differentiate it from the original blender
Yeah it would look better in a lime green and brown. So true
It actually looks so different from the regular blender. Much bigger, twice as much knobs and footswitches.
And to flex on everyone who’s opinion of ur gear matters to u
I'd jump for 300$ or something.
I simply can't do 500.
Good news for you :)
@@ebasswah how so?
@@ThumpingThromnambular fender started mass producing it for 300.
@@ebasswah Do you know when that's happening?
@@ThumpingThromnambular nope, but hopefully too soon :)
This pedal is really cool but £450?
No it's around 1500 now. Fucking flippers.
Cool but I prefer basic and small pedals for octavio Jim Dunlop Billy Gibbons doing great job with eq channel also silicon or germanium fuzz is good for fuzz .
Here's my two cents- why not just buy the fuzz factory?
It doesn’t have Kevin shields name on it tho
The big muff sounds light-years better
Cap
Okay but uou still cant hear it in a mix without a extra pedal supporting it.
I dont understand why this is not a regular production model. Fuck exclusivity, this is Fender not Rolex.
It is now.
it's a good pedal to own, Although I didn't get the Limited Edition but I managed to get the Standed one and I tell is a the best pedal That I have ever have used :)
Lawless
you can't get it in the uk?
andertons are stocking it
@@adamp8765 cheers just got one
It sounds like the destruction of the universe, in a good way...
i love noise
Meeh
T r a s h
Destined for Craigslist and the shitty pedal box.
This isn't for Blues Lawyers and Knopfler wannabes buddy
