ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Get ready for some sonic devastation as I demonstrate some of my favorite efx pedals and techniques that deliver filthy synth sounds capable of cutting through even the thickest wall of amplified guitars! I'll show you 10 different color palates with hands-on examples ranging from tasteful overdrive, distortion, fuzz all the way to full meltdown clipping. A little of these flavors added to your synthesizer instrument will help you create more inspiring sounds and also help you require less work to bring you final mixes together. I truly believe that every synth needs a drive circuit as much as it needs filters, reverbs and delays. After watching this video I hope you'll be inspired to grab some analog distortion pedals and start discovering what I did, that I can't live without them.

Always grateful when Anthony posts, it’s such a privilege to have a pro like him sharing his expertise for free.
Friggin Brilliant! I thought I knew it all but learn something everytime I watch one of your vids!
He got me playing with my distortion now wow really cool video
Underrated technique: put something inside the external input feedback loop. Putting my BOSS BF-2 flanger inside my microbrute's feedback loop created sounds very different than putting it just in the normal position after the synth,
To be able to get in touch with your knowledge it's just an amazing experience.
I am a guitar player myself but I love the keyboards (play a bit), production and music history (you're part of it).
We're all watching this happening and it's a privilege, we'll see 100K subscribers soon, and more and more.
The keyboard comunity must share your channel, we must give back to you.
Thanks Anthony, thank a lot!
Perfectly said my man 😉
Thanks for letting us bath in distortion. I feel like cleaned by that aesthetic assertiveness.
Totally agree, every synth can benefit from distortion!
Hey Antony. Great to see you keep the cameras rolling and the videos coming! I get the impression you're really getting into it. Seems like you're getting more comfortable in front of the lens, and your production value keeps improving. May your snowball of CZcams success keep growing!
Yes I am!
Before the thriller series I never knew about Anthony, but I’m glad I do now!
Anthony is like the cool Uncle I never had... my real Uncle makes and plays Banjos! 😮
Well that's pretty cool in itself!
@@DuckAlertBeats Like yee-haaw!
@@Andronicus2007 😃
Dude, that's fuckin' sick.
Ur uncle is cool
Truly epic video! Thanks so much for walking on the dark side with those of us who appreciate a bit of grit with our synths!
"sometimes it's just fun to turn knobs" the truth of synthesizers straight from one of the most talented masters. Could listen and watch you experiment turning knobs all day 👍👍, however, I have a couple synths that need some knob turning as well 😂. Thanks for the knowledge and ideas!!
That Mutron was pure destruction! It was absolutely JOYFUL to watch you go "wowowowow" along with the synths, man. You can tell you love it. I do the same thing.
Hey Anthony man i appreciate everything you doing you never know life you impacting
Hey Anthony, this is a great tutorial reminding us what we might be missing! I have used drive from time to time on my hardware synths: there's a Level 42 instrumental on the first album called "43", and I play a Moog solo with a square waveform, and we split the output so that we got a clean sound into the desk and a driven sound into a guitar amp (I don't remember which amp, could have been a Fender Twin or maybe a Marshall) anyways - as we go through the solo and it develops, the amped sound gradually takes over until on the last note I get feedback - I think Mark (King) was dialling the gain controls on the amp.
😎😎😎
As an engineer, watching you yank patch cables out like that makes me want to scream. :)
Am I the only one having trouble controlling my beow-waow mouth movements watching this awesome stuff?
Put your mouth around your phone mic while he plays to simulate a filter
Note that you don't need a Moogerfooger that costs your right arm and your firstborn … I use an "Electro-Harmonix Operation Overlord" stereo pedal for my Roland TR-09 (a boutique 909 module) that cost like $150 and provides great results as it has a "Mix" knob, which the otherwise awesome Erica Synths Acidbox III doesn't have.
Grandmaster Marinelli - i bow in youre shadow ,- 😂 🙌🙏
I am addicted to this channel, also love all the sounds you made on the Synclavier Regen, hope you do a dive into that some day and make more libraries, but I would love to see what you do with the Sherman Filter, that is always in all your videos.
Super Thank you for this awesome channel. Cheers!!
As usual the ARP eats the Moog alive! 💪😎🤘
It's a fine line between......
Also application dictates performance
ARP!!!!!
One of my favourite ways of gritting up synths and drum machines is to run them through an old Boss EQ pedal - +/-15dB of gain, plus the same on each band - really good as a fequency selective drive.
There also is that inexpensive TC electronics 1140 rack EQ around, that has a built in pre. This thing also rocks for distorting synths and drum machines. Tobi Neumann showed me this trick back in the days when rave culture just began.
Thanks as always Sir Anthony!! Going to load up that Arturia Mini Moog v3 and go in!! Peace.
It would be really cool to see a series finding the differences in sound between analog gear and software
The Arp 2600 really loves some drive. And the Moog with resonance hits hard. That sound is why Analog is king of dirt. Love it! That hyper fuzz through the Moog is my favourite.
The plugin setup at the end was super interesting. So different than the hardware versions that are more organic for sure.
Boss HM-2 actually has a bit of a cult status in the deathmetal scene. It's also called swedish buzzsaw. The FZ-2 has bit of a similar status on the doom metal scene although it's maybe less popular.
Now I have two Marinelli’s synth freaks guiding me, One younger and one older, I just can’t Fing lose !😂
Hi dear Anthony. Very inspirational video,...I used to own these vintage Minimoog and Arp's synths in the 90's but lost them in a tragic happening, these day's i am at Poly D and 2600 by Behringer,..I have now tried to do exact what you showed here to recreate it on these modern takes of the real deal,..and belive it or not the Poly D and 2600 did create the same result desentley. Thanks a ton for these videos you put out,..and thanks for your presence
We are honored to have a mind like Anthony's engaging with the public and sharing his knowledge! ❤
"Pretty fun." I just cant believe that MJ's synth programmer is showing me stuff! This is the best thing to come of the internet. I wish MJJ was alive today. All the people he has given love to, and received it with beautiful people like Anthony. His and your legacy will be eternal.
Amazingly understadable sound design trip here. Thanks for the masterclass.
Anthony you got me into synths and music production thank you, Cortney
I'm mainly a bass player who moonlights a little into the world of synths, because I find them so interesting with endless sonic capabilities and absolutely love this channel. This was a wonderful demonstration. The emulators/plugin at the end is why I will NEVER leave the analog world. Not only the difference in sound but sometimes it's just fun to turn knobs.
Anthony! This is pure gold! Thank you! I also see that you have a Sherman Filterbank 2 hanging out next to your Moog. Would you ever consider exploring some of the filter fun that you can get from that?
This lesson is essential. I'll be trying this.
Thank you 😊
Of all those wonderful, high-end instruments and effects... I have the Joyo, and you make it sound good!
Thanks for demonstrating all this drive and v distortion.
DPW DESIGN MOG D-2 is great for running synths (or anything else ) through.
I do love your Masterclass Tutorials so much (especially for the 2600.. the Prophet & the Model D) thank you dearly….they mean a World to me (and us) 🔥👍
….Anthony you are close to 100K now…I've already put the champagne cold to celebrate your deserved 100K 🥂✨🍾 🎉
That fuzz pedal sounds amazing! I've used an overdrive pedal, the Boss heavy metal & death metal pedals but never the fuzz. I gotta grab that for my Bass Station.
so grateful for your efforts. this one was absolute ear candy.
It truly did help me find my tone! Give me that grinding gain! 😂
Sherman Filterbank distortion!!!
It's not just the wondrous experimentation with the pedals that gets me - it's your always musical way of presenting these sounds!, even when just playing "simple" bass lines! It feels like you instantly know what the sound needs in order to give it character.
I love this channel
With digital multi-fx it seems that the od/ds/fz section is still behind analog pedals. Time based and modulation fx can be absolutely fantastic in the digital domain.
Have put a Boss DS-1 on drummachine (kick & snare) and with the gain/distortion low (12 o'clock or lless) you get a crunch and maintain dynamics.
My KingKorg (not an ARP 2600 or MiniMoog) has this boost/drive option with a real tube in synth 😅
2:57 Hello Jean Michel Jarre Rendez Vouz… always wondered where the laser harp sound came from and I guess now we know! 😄
Hi Anthony✨️🎵✨️ I believe I've used the boss hm2 pedal before😊thxsomuch ✨️ ✨️✨️✨️✨️
Looks like your pitch wheel has that classic split.
Being a prog/techno DJ from the 90s, (had 303s/909/sh5/Jd800 ..etc, I appreciate Uli bringing the 2600, Poly D and MonoPoly to the masses. .
Peace😊
Pre-Premier thumbs up? Done.
Of course. This is one out of 4 synth channels where auto-thumb is activated.
I'll have to listen again 8n the morning when I can crank this. Right now I gotta keep it low.
I like the "Spinal Tap" graphic font.
This mans passion piercing through screen
Awesome I love playing with distortion on synths!
Distortion pedals specifically for bass guitars are worth checking out on synths.
I somehow expected more 'swedish chainsaw' out of that HM-2... gonna have to try with my matriarch. Awesome vid!!
Distortion is an essential tool, created in many ways. I use some/multiple forms of distortion, in basically everything. Funny enough, I sometimes even run stuff through the pre-amp of a cheap 1990's Panasonic microcassette memo recorder. It has a mic input, and monitor output jack. Another thing I do a lot, is use a Behringer Tube Ultragain (Currently using a 1962 Mullard 12AX7.) I also use the various kinds of drive, and distortion offered in my Empress Effects Zoia modules. Right now I'm on the hunt for another, but very basic tube preamp that can have the drive cranked, that also uses 12AX, 12AT, and 12AU tubes, because I have a small collection of all three types, but mostly 12AX7. in 12AX, I have vintage Mullard, Telefunken, RCA, Sylvania, Siemens, Tung-Sol, and a few more. 😁
God I love distortion, I recently picked up 6 channel API box to use with the DIYRE Colour system for lots of variety of saturation.
You are mad scientist coming up with your concoctions of enchantment! 😄 You need some maniacal laughs thrown in like you are going cRaZy!
Marvelous. I could listen to all these wonderful sounds on loop all evening. I'm now off to order a new pedal... but which ! ! ? ?
Dangit Anthony, now I gotta get a pedal.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on these wonderful instruments ❤
Wow, the hyper fuzz on a minimoog ripped my tv speakers 🤯 that was nuts
A big difference between the SEM and Two Voice is not just two voices but the fact the output mixer is basically an MXR Distortion Plus with two inputs.
The muSonics modular takes this into account, along with allowing the filter and VCA to overdrive as well.
Awesome! I really enjoy your videos, Anthony!
Never a dull moment. Greetings
I appreciate the run through Anthony. I do love seeing people who love sound working with varieties of tones in this way. You got some terrifically nasty tones.
I have a couple Multimoogs (still). It was back in the early eighties when I first heard of the Minimoog input trick. Of course the Mini and Multi have different ins and outs, etc. With some experimentation, I found that I liked the overdrive that I got by routing the Multi’s audio back into the filter input, rather than the audio input more.
Eventually, I used a Boss Turbo OD on the Multi, but a RAT pedal seemed to pair better with a Matrix 6.
That’s was a real joy , much thanks 👾🎛️🎹🔉🔊
I've only ever heard that classic moog feedback distortion through emulations, and WOW it's good to hear the real deal Holyfield!😱
Edit: 18:33 I'm going to be hearing Da Funk by Daft Punk for hours now - even if that wasn't what you were intending🙃
Edit 2 and final lol: regarding software distortion, I never found any that lives up to the crazy sound of even the cheapest pedals. There's something ALIVE about a circuit that is on the edge of melting 😋 BUT my absolute favorite distortion Is "Dent 2" by Unfiltered Audio. It can do some RIDICULOUS stuff and sounds amazing IMO! ✌️
Ah the old output to the input feedback trick!
I don't know much about plugins, but I got some interesting waveshaping from various free Melda plugins.
The preset labels are random and useless though. On one hand, you get what you paid for. On the other hand, I guess you have to actually _listen_ to find the right tone.
I would not complain hearing your music; this would go well with things like Goa Trance.
This is just wonderful, priceless knowledge and experience and a joy to watch. Keep them coming please.
Really cool sounds! Thanks for sharing Anthony!
When you started playing the ARP 2600 it reminded me of The Killing Joke song Requiem.
Great video, Anthony! Now i need a synthesizer :) I start with a humble Jupiter 8 :) Keep doing these videos.
Thriller record, LP
should have been called:
Quincy Jones & Friends... ;)
Same like his precious records..
Amazing to have Mr. Marinelli teaching us how to drive! 🚗 🚙🔝
Thanks for sharing!!👍
Fantastic and Practical. I want the Anthony M signature 2600 series 😮
Very cool video thank you 😊
My all time favorite distortion technique is to use a cheap Mackie mixer and overdrive the preamp! Has a very crunchy and dirty sound. Works great on drums.
I would love to see you try your ARP 2600, Model D, etc with Soundtoys' Decapacitator. I would pay for a month of Patreon if you released a bunch of presets that you made specifically for each instrument - 'ARP Talking Filter Grind', 'Moog Sup'ed-Up Square Bass', etc. it would be interesting to see how you use that plugin and what kind of magick you could squeeze out of it.
Anthony it’s such a pleasure watching you produce these great sounds and talking about the intricacies of the petals, amazing! If you’re ever in the Netherlands, you should definitely come to the Conservatory of Amsterdam to talk to the students as you are inspiring new generations with a great legacy! ❤
Your channel has fast become one of my favorite on CZcams. Always something fantastic to watch here.
I also have a joyo pedal but never really used it, only for gain on my Korg & Uno. Thanks for the demo. Cheers
This was a very cool video. Neat 2600 patch ideas, and excellent to hear all those pedals. Thanks for including a comparison between the Moogerfooger hardware and the VST version. The tones from the Boss Hyper Fuzz were great, too. I'm going to go play with distortion now. :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! It was fun comparing all of those different sounds and listening to them through my studio monitors! The minimoog is KING!!! Also love the Arp 2600, and so neat how each peddle adds different tone colors.
never thought about distorting lfo signals before very interesting idea
I was getting so many distortion pedal to trace the 303 vibe and original think was just get one to fat up my circuit groovebox. I also get a orange tube amp for my synth, but it seems when the sound design work they are not wasted.
Dod carcosa is all you need for 303 my friend. :)
god you can go on for days just playing with distortion on a 303
Wonderful lesson Anthony. Many thanks. I like that you are going to consider VSTs too. They are cheap and allow us to try tecnhiques also if we don't own a real minimoog
6:30 6:59 11:56 13:17 17:47 19:02
WOW.. Some of the coolest sounds I have ever heard, I need a mini Moog!! Subd
Extraordinary ❤
This is unique content. The combination of your pleasant personality and your insane knowledge and musicality, is just priceless! So helpful and inspiring for us synth-players and musicians. Thank you!
Giving away all my secretsss 😭😭😭 JK thanks for making this video it’s nice to share knowledge n tricks n tips 💞
reminded how good the mini sounds all on its own
Excellent video Anthony and crew, so many inspiring ideas to try!
Ok, another great channel to subscribe to. Only problem is it's now 11pm and almost bed but now I want to fire up the studio lol.
Side note: man I must baby my toys, you really man handle your sliders, cables and keyboards haha .
Anthony, love your content, man. Here's a video idea/request: It would be cool to see an analysis/recreation of the original Reading Rainbow theme synth sound. There is a synth part that sounds kindof like a flute playing 16th notes with some flange or phase type effects on it. I think it came out in like '83, in keeping with the 80s synth theme of your other videos. A lot of us 80s kids might find that to be nostalgic, too haha😄 Anyway, just an idea. 🎶🎹 Thanks for the aaesome videos📼
🎶📺📚❤️
The Bob Ross of Bass.
I can’t have made that up. I’m not that original.
Amazing good effects.❤
Thanks for this. I ended up getting the Joyo American Sound Pedal and have been running my synths through it to get some grittiness. Going to try the Boss Heavy metal next.
Rock on!
amazing! I hope this is available on my moog one too
This knowledge is priceless. Thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
