- Here’s 5 ways you can push the Astral Destiny into sounds that are more advanced than shimmer reverb. Most of these will be unrecognizable as being reverb-based effects. Settings and timestamps below. Additional animation and graphics by John Marty and Greg Sadetsky.

PRO-TIP #1: VOLUME SWELLS WITH COSMOS MODE
Length: 30%
Mode: Cosmos
Depth: 100%
Rate: 20%
Tone: 100%
Mix: 100%
PRO-TIP #2: MAKE YOUR GUITAR A SYNTH
Length: Minimum
Mode: Sub Shimmer
Depth: 20%
Rate: 80%
Tone: 100%
Mix: set an expression pedal to control this
Stretch Mode: leave it on
PRO-TIP #3: STUTTER STEP = REALLY GOOD
Length: Minimum
Mode: Abyss
Depth: 5%
Rate: 95%
Tone: 55%
Mix: 100%
NOTE: if you run this into your amp or even into your drive pedals (as opposed to in an FX loop), it will crash the fidelity down a little bit and make the tone sound even more like a sample

Length: Minimum
Mode: Abyss
Depth: 5%
Rate: 95%
Tone: 55%
Mix: 100%
PRO-TIP #5: REVOLUTIONARY SEQUENCER TRICK
Save presets that sound very different, put them in adjacent slots, and turn the Preset knob while you’re playing.
INTERESTING DISCOVERY: I don’t really talk about this in the video, but when Stretch Mode is activated, the value of the Rate knob is halved.

somebody tell the aboveground CZcams king i'm coming for him
You know, a lot of how to videos out there you just watch once, maybe twice if you forgot something. But a Cyberattack how to video is something you can come back to and re-watch just to appreciate on it's own artistic merits.
This exactly. It's like watching a documentary after school at your best friend's house and he's like, we're going to watch a documentary and you're like "Dude, I thought we were going to watch Voltron?!" and he's like, no man, let's learn about eels and he makes you a bowl of cereal and then it's a totally dope afternoon learning about Anguilliformes and bonding with your mate along the way. Cyberattack has expanded the fun / musical education realm and it's expanding my mind in all the right ways.
Yes. Him and Ponderer Sounds both do this for me.
I've been debating on getting this pedal. This is the only video (out of a dozen I've watched) that's sold me on it. Great stuff!
came for the pedal stayed for the video quality (and crazy editing)
Thanks, this is the ideal scenario. glad you dug the vid
I happened to order this pedal this morning, and here you come, blowing my little mind. The tips are awesome, the visuals were delicious and your musical homage to PMG was noticed and appreciated. Well done, Sir! New subscriber, right here.
In this video you pulled off a nearly impossible feat...you made New Jersey look appealing. Born in Long Branch here.
Bro. That bit of ‘Are You Going With Me’ is so dope, man. Very smooth.
I really appreciate not only the different ways to get some cool sounds out of this pedal, but you also give the settings and timestamps! This definitely raises the bar on using this amazing pedal!
thank you have fun
Loved that Sega Genesis snare sound you used in the last demo track! My Astral Destiny should be here today! So stoked!
Great ears, I'm glad you caught that. It's a sample I took myself, using the sound test feature of Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
Wow, what a great video!! I got the Astral Destiny to replace my Afterneath with the hopes of replicating the more 'normal' Afterneath sounds while unlocking a whole other world of crazy sounds on top. Your settings are really going to help with the crazy quest, thanks so much! :)
Crazy quests rule my life, have fun
You know what I mean! I heard the synth kick in so hard in my head.
It’s so good
amazing video i was going to return this pedal cause i couldnt figure it out but this helped a lot!!
Me listening to pro tip 2: Cool, that reminds me of Moby.
Oh, that IS Moby! I didn’t even know a guitar could do that! 🤯😂
Sweet tricks dude! Thank you!
It’s like watching public access in PDX circa ‘98. Keep it up.
The colorful chairs reminded me of my childhood
Excellent, clever sounds. I'd never heard of a stutter switch before, and I've been playing guitar far longer than you've been alive 8^). Thanks.
they're cheap and awesome, have fun
About two weeks ago I got the Astral Destiny. About a week ago I listened to the WTF podcast with Daniel Lanois. About one week from now I will play the Astral Destiny early on in my signal chain to mangle my other pedals while looping the WTF podcast with Daniel Lanois. Thank you to Fila, and thank you CyberAttack.
No need to thank me, this is your destiny and mine
Roger that. Kidding aside, this is the first CZcams channel experience where I got in on the ground floor. Onward and upward as you ascend the astral plane.
Thanks man I’m flattered you see it that way
Love the channel man
thanks for checking it out
Dude, your vids rule and help a ton
wow one of the best guitar pedal channels...goes beyond the basic shit we all know. and you go DEEP
Thank you!! Do a "Part 2" video on this!! I just order this pedal, watched many videos on it, your video finally did a "spring reverb" application part, which I was searching for!! I'm sure there's many more extreme settings and uses for this. (ex: full mix/all effect settings, etc)
I’d love to do a part 2, if I can find 5 more cool things. Unfortunately this pedal does not actually get to 100% full wet/full effect (even at maximum you can still hear some unaffected signal). I agree with you that if it did, that would open up some more advanced bullshit though.
U are a genius
The most advanced man on the planet back at it again
At some point after this channel really takes off, I want to put out a video called How to Be Advanced: How to Be Advanced, which is gonna be 5 pro-tips for being advanced while watching these videos
@@CyberattackWorld Only a matter of time
@@CyberattackWorld this is what I come to youTube for. plz make advanced videos on how to be advanced.
i can't wait to do it
That outro track was such a vibe.❤
glad ya dig it, these links may be of interest:

serious frankjavcee vibes.
love it
What's really interesting is it seems to be additive to the dry sound, and the mix knob is just how much the pedal is outputting / adding to the dry sound... Unlike most reverb pedals out there
The more I think about it, the more I think I should buy this pedal...
Man I don’t own ANY of the pedals that you’ve featured and I’m still crushing your videos and learning a ton about ways to experiment with my own pedals. Cheers man good stuff 👍
this is the advanced way to watch
Heard Pat and hit subscribe. Awesome!
Glad you caught that, it’s such an awesome song
That spring Jeff Beck homage!
Would love to see you tackle the Tera Echo
Ah in my dreams im dying all the time ..
you and me both
I don't have an astral destiny and I'm not advanced but a really weird but fun way to do swells is this.
Reverb>dirt>volume pedal>shimmer
I do that with my afterneath before the dirt and my mercury 7 at the end. The afterneath has a boomynes when overdriven and the shimmer verb pretties it back up.
this sounds really cool
Saturn devices has you in their description for the kill switch pedals. Also I’m happy you didnt blur your handsome face but I am missing on those good camera angles 😣
Thanks I know, I was happy to make it on the Saturnworks site. As for camera angles I apologize, none of that camera stuff has been as good as what I did in the Harmonist video, which was perfect.
I just got an Ottobit Jr. and SDRUM. Astral Destiny here soon. Vibe.
Love your demo videos so, so much. Cheers.
(Also, check out Swimware from Queens.)
hey thanks for the tip i will check them out
oh yeah they kind of remind me of Resort Realism
Love the video!
Quick question: How are you getting an all wet signal out of your pedal? (Your first example seems to have this character). Mine seems to always include my dry signal even with the mix knob at 100%.
Love the channel, looking forward to more!
Thank you. I also noticed that dry signal is always present, even with the mix at 100%, but I never found a way around it. So everything you’re hearing, even the first example, is like that. It may sound all-wet but I don’t think it is completely.
@@CyberattackWorld Ahhh I see. Thanks for the response! Love the “how to be advanced” series!
Cool sounds man, I usually mess around with grain delay in ableton, but I can only do that for recording. Don't really have a way to do it live. Some of this is kinda close to what I end up going for in the studio (aka my bedroom lol) though.
thanks dude. yeah i think this is the sort of reverb pedal that could work early on in a signal chain, and which you mangle with all your other pedals.
I think the only thing missing on the spring verb setting was the drip, and a spring reverb doesn't have to do that. So how long until you have a John 5 tele or a Buckethead guitar with a built in kill/stutter switch? You might be able to do something similar with a square wave trem. You know what would make a good video? How to be advanced with the Zzombee from Beetronics. Guess I'll have to look at your catalog and see if you have anything on it yet.
GREAT content! where can you get the stutter switch or what is the name of it to search?
Thank you. If you search stutter switch or kill switch, you'll find a bunch of options, or just go here: saturnworkspedals.com/product/kill-switch-pedal/
@@CyberattackWorld Wow, thanks for such responsiveness!
The Beach?
Ugh what's that last song, it's right on the tip of my tongue!

600th Like 👍
are you familiar with any of those old 90s rackmount reverb units like the alesis quadraverb and whatnot?
Some of those are breathtaking. and I don't think I've heard a pedal sound quite like them.
what are your thoughts on those units?
I’ve never had one or spent major time using one in a studio but they seem rad
@@CyberattackWorld the alesis quadraverb is a pretty awesome specimen
@@CyberattackWorld all over old aphex twin songs. very ethereal sound. nothing quite sounds like that in guitar pedal land
1:15 reminds me of the intro to Secret Journey! What chords are you play it here
I think they were 7sus4 chords, but if you REALLY want to nail the Secret Journey intro, check out pro-tip #1 in my video about the chase bliss Habit
@@CyberattackWorld hell yea.
Sounded pretty spring reverb to me
thanks for the sanity check
I just had a baby....well correction, my wife had the baby and I was in the same room making sure the doctors didn't pass out. But I was thinking as I watched this video, what would some pro tips be for raising a child? also, I will make sure the baby gets plenty of OJ when the time is right. #tppojla
Congratulations! Baby pro-tips would be an amazing video, no question

Pat Metheny - Are You Going With Me
?
glad somebody caught that
Do you
done
One of the reasons that's holding me away from buying this pedal is that it's NOT stereo.
am I over thinking it? is that not a big deal?
If you want to do a lot of home recording and you want to use pedals in place of rack gear, then having one stereo reverb pedal is crucial for that.
If you don’t plan on recording too much with it, or you already have at least one stereo reverb pedal, then I don’t think it matters. The non-shimmer sounds in the Astral Destiny are cool and it works well as a grab-and-go pedal.
@@CyberattackWorld nice. one of the features that I like is the pitch bending and hold functions on this pedal. I don't know very many other reverb pedals that do that like this does. idk if this is worth getting if you already have a GFI Tempus on your board though...
I want to be advanced
i am here for you always with this
Are you going with me?
yeah glad you caught it
Make more videos like this or else
Do the avalanche run other EQD if you have them
FWIW the EQD bit commander makes a big cameo at the end of my Boss PS-6 video if you wanna check that out.
Will check it out. Just subbed.
@@rustyshacklefrench amazing, thank you
Sh*t..I'm not into pedals, but I want this and three other EQD pedals just because of the synth capabilities and the trippiness in general.
Excruciating desires. I know the feeling
@@CyberattackWorld I caved. I ordered this pedal and EQD Space Spiral.
@@joellebrodeur1015 have fun
No Blotter needed/Total Trip Pedal/Cool Tips/I need to get an expression pedal to Freak Out/FEED YOUR HEAD!
Hey, fellow musician Cyberattack!.. YOUR Creativity has given birth to MY Creativity!!.. Watching Your video gave me a great idea!... I'm going to BUY a Simple, inexpensive, momentary tap switch, a tap button, MOUNT IT to my Strat pickguard up high near the point, and WIRE IT IN SERIES, WITH THE OUTPUT SIGNAL!.. SO, the Stutter-Switch EFFECT, You had to take your hand OFF the guitar to USE, I, will be ABLE to TAP, right THERE, NEXT to my Pickups!.. AND, because it was Your creativity that BRED the IDEA, YOU can USE IT, on Your guitar, if you like with NO fear of copyright or trademark issues!.. ALL I ASK, is if you USE the idea and make a bunch of money, I'd LOVE to have a Les Paul Black Beauty, or ANY Les Paul, with the switch installed!
3:10 Ummm. You realize you can use your _foot_ for a _footswitch,_ yeah? >;P
lolerz
Very cool nonetheless.
you're not wrong but I never could have performed that with my foot, also the button on the kill switch thing is a much easier target
@@CyberattackWorld Yeah? I had a Ernie Ball volume pedal that I used for a somewhat similar effect recording our 2nd album back in the mid 90s, maybe I'm just a spazz but I was able to get it modulating pretty fast with my foot after some practice. I've seen that pedal with a standard stomp switch (with a longer throw) instead of a arcade switch. I was thinking about getting the arcade button version you have as it seems it would be pretty easy to tap quickly with the shorter throw. Ever try without shoes? Just use your toes?
Has the pedal held up pretty good for you? They actually link your clip on the product page, that's how I found this clip.
I think if I tried I could get good at doing it that way, but instead of trying I just reached for the kill switch. Path of least resistance, etc. Thanks for checking out the video
The visuals are so overstimulating and unnecessary but the info was great
