Can’t remember the last time I watched such a long ‘pedalboard’ video that I randomly stumbled across in its entirety… but this one got me 100%! Fantastic playing, lovely board and wonderful soundscapes, and your presentation style is just super chill. I think I need a Mood now. And a Microcosm 😊 Thanks for doing this! Liked and subbed and going to watch some more now!
Thanks, that's really one of nicest things someone ever wrote to me!!! And yes, Mood is such a fun and versatile thing. The good thing is that the mkl is much more affordable used since the mkll came out... And the microcosm, yeah, in stereo and with headphones... goodbye world, I am on vacation 😅
Today you convinced me not to sell my dd-500. I was in a bit of a rut with it, needed some inspiration, and then saw how you doubled up the panning reverse delay with another patch... I did the same just now and love it. I also plugged my expression pedal back into the DD and wow, I'd forgotten about all the possibilities. Thank you!
That's great man! It's so good to hear you gained inspiration out of this video. As I said, I'm constantly surprised by the sounds I can get out of the DD-500. The panning reverse delay is one of my favourite things ever!
I like everything about this. You have curated a very well-thought-out board that makes some gorgeous noises. I appreciate the variety of boutique and non-boutique pedals you use. Your playing and melodic choices are very soothing and inspiring. Even the room your playing in has such nice vibes. I've been considering the Carbon for a while for a low-gain/boost/clean-tone shaper option, but I also think I might like the Origin Effects DCX Boost. I love the way the Carbon sounds in your setup.
Thanks for your kind words man!!! 🙌 Yeah, sometimes it doesn't have to be boutique stuff, but sometimes it's that one pedal without an alternative. The Carbon is my favourite low gain pedal so far. The dynamic response really is insane. I tried the GreerAmps Lightspeed during the time getting the Carbon...and you can't go wrong with either one.
This is a great sounding board! I've heard that the ACS-1 doesn't handle gain pedals well but yours sounds fantastic! Did you find it difficult to get it to sound good?
Thanks! I never had a problem getting gain pedals sounding nothing but good. I tried the Longsword, the Limelight and the Odyssey and every pedal sounded like it should. I always have a hard time with Fender amps, but the Vix model in here is just perfect for what I want out of a pedal platform. Changing the cab does a lot for sure and I use an IR from Bogren which fits my taste.
Fantastic video, awesome board and killer sounds. Could you please explain the canvas stereo setup again? I'm a bit slow on the uptake, but I reckon it'll help me achieve stereo with my similar mono rig. I run my delays and reverbs through the effects loop in my amp, and they do have stereo capabilities.
Hey man, if you have only one amp to run your pedals through, than the Canvas won't do anything turning that into stereo. I run the Canvas to sum my Stereo Board (the Canvas has a Sum Button for the through output) to mono, otherwise I would loose one side of my PingPong Delay for example. The DI Box let's me play amp mono or my stereo into my interface without having to swap cables. What's your setup? Are you able running two amps, or can you go direct into a PA System?
Great video, killer board and sounds. Can you explain the canvas stereo again, i'm a little slow but think that it will let me go stereo as I have a very similar mono rig, dels and revs through effects loop in amp, dels and revs have stereo functionality
Thanks for your kind words! From the Microscosm on everything is going to be stereo on board, so I go stereo into the DI. From there I have a through connection and a DI/Line level out. The DI out is staying stereo, which I use to go into my Interface or to play into the PA. If I want to use my regular amp, which is obviously mono, I use the throught output, which allows me to sum to stereo signal to mono via a button. Without summing I would lose the right side of my signal, which would cause my delays just sending the left side repeats into my amp. Feel free to ask more specific if that didn't answered your question completely!✌️
Thanks for sharing your thoughtful choices, especially your thoughts on using Carbon to differentiate overlapping guitar tracks. I returned my Protein because I didn’t like the green side, but I did like how the blue side brightened up an OCD when stacked. I think it’s interesting you place your compressor after your overdrive and Mood. I usually put compression first. Any thoughts on that? Lastly: I would be interested if you’ve ever tried the 29 Pedals Euna. Sounds like you already have a pristine signal, but I highly recommend it.
I haven't tried the Euna by now, but I think it will do magic to the signal for sure. At the moment I have the Limelight on my board and the Boost on that pedal is already sweeteing the signal, in a way the Carbon can't on its own. So yes, I think I need to try Euna...or better not, because of it's pricetag 😅 As far as the Compressor goes, it's always before Overdrive for me. The Carbon is very sensitive due to its dynamic response. Compressing my guitar before the Carbon, would kill some of the dynamics from my picking. I don't want to flat the signal beforehand. With Mood, I sometimes just fade in little snippets here and there, which can be very unintrusive, so compressing the signal after wouldn't be a game changer for me. Also, Mood would be before my Drive...and I haven't tried that by now. Maybe I have to experiment out if curiosity now 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
@@Andreas_tropicalwinter The compression placement makes sense now, thank you! I just ordered a Limelight yesterday - quite a coincidence. So did the Limelight boost replace your Carbon?
@@gigaha No, the Boost doesn´t replaced the Carbon, since it´s just to suttle at 9 o´clock. The Carbon offers more clarity and I can add drive by not raising the volume. For now it´s the Limelight boost as an always on, the Carbon for a little bit of grit and the drive of the Limelight for Distortion. And yes, it´s such a coincedence... Let me know what you think about the Limelight!
@@Andreas_tropicalwinter Now you have me wanting a Carbon! Your combination of pedals really makes sense. I received the Limelight today and I love it. It’s very articulate, even at high gain settings, which is exactly what I wanted. Compared to a Protein, it’s much brighter. Now I have to decide whether to remove my Fulltone OCD from the pedalboard, which has been my favorite high gain pedal. Cheers-
I'm using Slip mode for this one. Time fully clockwise, Modify around 10 to get the right pitch and Clock at 8k. For a faster one you can change Clock to 16k. Have fun! ✌️
I almost went with the EHX 22500. Have you seen the Aeros Loop Studio by Singular Sound? It has each of the capabilities you want in an updated 22500 and more... As far as I know, it's the most advanced looper on the market.
I was pretty close getting one, but doing my research I stumbled across some minor quirks, such as drop outs playing back loops. I know that they want to make panning possible, which would be such a neat thing to have. The Aeros checks most of the boxes I need fur sure, but the 22500 has the smaller footprint...which I tell myself to talk myself out of wanting to buy the Aeros from time to time 😅 I wait to see what the next firmware update brings to the table... 😁 Did you went with one?
@@Andreas_tropicalwinter cool. Not that far. I’m living in Poland but nearby west border :) I’ve asked as I am also not a native speaker and it’s really inspiring and motivating to see others non-native speakers running their channels! I feel I will start my channel soon 🤩
@@Threeli I sold 24 pedals and stuff over a year to afford some of those, so it's not that much left to find out... 😅 I can't think of budget alternatives to the Microcosm and the ChaseBliss ones. Every other pedal I think is easily replaceable. If the automation stuff of the DD500 isn't a thing, I think any other Delay would do the job these days. ✌️

Great video, really enjoyed this! Definitely impressed by the DD-500
Thanks for your kind words! And yep, as I said. The DD500 doesn't stop to amaze me. It's such an amazing unit!

Awesome board! I never knew the Ring Thing could do pitch shifting like that. Very cool!
Yes, it blew my mind when I added an expression pedal for the first time! Thank you for stoping by!!!
fantastic board! also great audio/video capture
Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to watch and dropping a comment!!!
Thanks for your respect 😂 great video man love your chill vibes….not the board, you as a person I mean
You're welcome 🤣 And thanks so much for the compliment man!!!

Love your set up..Im the opposite to you,I leave my Enzo on my board primarily because I use it for an octave or 2 up as Im an Ambient Bassist...
Haha, Octaver can be just such useful things!
Since I know, that you live in/near to Berlin. Is there a chance to see you live somewhere? Best regards! :)
I thought a while about trying to play some of that stuff live, but it's not on my schedule at the moment... To be honest, I'm scared af 😅
What are your settings on the mood for the regular reverse delay?
I'm using Slip mode for this one. Time fully clockwise, Modify around 10 to get the right pitch and Clock at 8k. For a faster one you can change Clock to 16k. Have fun! ✌️

Thank you so much man!!!
@@Andreas_tropicalwinter you know where to find me if you need something ;)
Do you mind me asking where are you from?
Cool video as always!

@@marekurbanowicz Yes, you should do that for sure. I really use my channel also for getting better at speaking English!!!
Sounds fantastic, always love your sound. I would be curious to see what you could come up with on a tighter pedal budget

what is that guitar?
That's a Conquer 59 by Baum Guitars.
31:50 bro sound like a rally co-driver lmao
Haha, you're right. 😅 It took me a second to realize...
