Check out how to use guitar modulation effect pedals like chorus, phaser, flanger, tremolo, wah and pitch shifter to create more vivid sounds with an anlog synthesizer like the Behringer Model D.

Arturia MicroFreak with delay effect pedals

In this video I want to show you how to combine a synthesizer like the Arturia MicroFreak with delay effect pedals for guitars as a little suggestion for sound experiments. This synthesis opens up completely new worlds of sound and can definitely expand the sonical horizon. Have fun trying.

 

Arturia MicroFreak with reverb pedals for guitars

In this second part of my two-part series, I would like to show you how you can combine a synthesizer like the Arturia MicroFreak with reverb effect pedals for guitars as a small suggestion for sound experiments. As already shown in the first part about the combination with delay pedals, this relationship can also open up completely new worlds of sound. Have fun trying.

Roland SP-404MKII with guitar – hands-on workshop

During the breaks in playing, a slight hiss can be heard. This is because I used the compressor of the Roland SP-404MKII, switched off the noise gate to avoid choppy guitar tones and missed to turn up the master volume a bit. With the correct settings, you can reduce the hissing in the periods you are not playing/ recording, which of course can no longer be heard in the finished song. Since I first have to get used to this super extensive device, I’ve already made this mistake for you so that you don’t have to make it yourself 😉

If there’s one thing Keeley Electronics is famous for, it’s compressor pedals. I tested the Keeley Compressor Plus and here’s what I came up with.

Demo Video: Eventide H90 Harmonizer vs. Strymon Volante

This is a comparison of two absolutely amazing pedals: The space head algorithm of the Eventide H90 Harmonizer compared to the Strymon Volante.
Both pedals can create multihead delays, have modulation and are perfect for gritty tape sounds.

0:37 darker delay with modulation
1:22 more gain, low cut
2:04 really dark delay
2:57 two tape heads activated
3:56 gritty delay

We got our YouTube channel back

With a little help from my friends… or with much help from people I partly didn’t even know before, we succeed in recovering our channel “delay dude”!

We want to thank everyone, who supported us.

But our very special thanks go to Philipp Ernst (Bonedo), who was so kind to spend hours to get in contact with the YouTube support. He was the guy who did all the bureaucratic paperwork with us.

We also want to thank Frank Prager. Without your mail and your comments, we wouldn’t even have started the fight.

And special thanks to Eirik (Living Room Gear Demos), Peter Grandl (Amazona), BoBeats, Hainbach and many, many more!

We are so grateful, because this channel means so much to us and so much to my beloved father, who is fighting the cancer and who must endure so many cruel operations these days.

Thank you all so much!
