      This is actually the first video I've ever seen from Spiralcaster pedal guy (sorry, I forgot the channel name and I'm on my phone) and I thought this was his normal video style... Aside from that, the music and the playing is refreshingly unique and dope af 😎🍻 Mad respect dude

      I know right.. His voice is some golden Bowie esq baritone . Would love to hear him run his voice through some pedals. Seriously tho.. I’d punch a baby unicorn to have a voice like that

    You have an excellent natural commentary style and don't seem to find words to be hard, unlike so many channels where speaking is the thing. This is my first view of your channel, and I enjoyed your style, playing and insights very much.

    Really enjoyed this. I’ve always liked your no talking demos that get straight to the point because the music is always good. But this was interesting to hear some insight about the pedals, where they are made , what styles/context they can be used in and a bit of info about the companies that produce them was really intriguing.🤟✌️

      Absolutely great observation because he nails the language and vocal tone for a show like this. Superb playing skills, creative, and no musical cliches to be found. Honest and articulate too…rare. One of the 2-3 best guitar pedal technical/creative channels on the Tube.

  • @winstonsmith8236
    @winstonsmith8236 Před 2 lety +3

    It was really nice to hear your voice (total classic radio voice btw) and get a breakdown of each pedal like this. How you showcase the pedals with your music is obviously what sets you so far apart from many demo-ers and I would love to see more content about the actual implementation of how you use the effects- this seems to be something people seem to be reluctant to do- demystifying their composition process a little to shed insight on how you use all this amazing stuff, especially considering you're not really playing blues, or straight ambient or metal as per usual.. It's a tall order and I will always be stoked to see a new, talkless pedal demo from SpiralCaster nonetheless! thanx for the content and your commitment to making good music still being the focus of these amazing little toys/tools!

    • @SpiralCasterPlaysPedals
      @SpiralCasterPlaysPedals  Před 2 lety

      It’s tough because breaking to film the process would interrupt the flow of the process- usually my writing sessions are long and intense and I have to cram as much work in as possible before I leave in the evenings to teach music. I’ll definitely be considering more talking oriented vids in the future though- thanks for watching my friend 🙌❤️

    This just goes to show how big CZcams is...I've never stumbled across your channel, until the algorithm put you into my feed just now!
    Excellent video..your presentation and playing were excellent. 😎 And what an interesting collection of pedals - tasty indeed. 👍🎶
    Also, I get from the comments here, this is the first time you've spoken on your channel. I've not checked on any other videos yet, but suffice to say some speaking (from time to time) helps give the viewer some insight into how you use a given pedal etc. And that in itself can be very helpful.
    Best to you in your future endeavours...subscribed.

It's almost a how to make yourself more musical with these pedals and pedal makers should be paying to have this presenter audition their wares. Excellent!
