    Hi Sam. Seen a few of videos and I love your tone. I have a big sky, but I want to upgrade from my kemper delays to an actual pedal. You get great delay tones, but I suspect much of that is your ability. Is there a reason you haven’t gone for the timeline? Apologies if you have addressed this before). Thanks for your great content as always.

    Thanks David! I'd love to go for the timeline eventually but for now I just haven't felt like I NEED it. I feel like I'd probably stick with a tape delay 90% of the time, and the el cap already does that so well. Who knows though, I wouldn't be surprised if I upgraded at some point in the future!

    I am DIGGING(!) your board! Many of the same pedals as me and I'm looking to integrate my PirateMIDI bridge6, just like you've done your morningstar. I have a similar size board with pedals that do the same kinda function as you. I'd say the thing that's different in soundscape is the microcosm and Friedman BE-0D for distortion and metal possibility. I'd be very interested in some help with my board. I'll list my pedals also with singnalchain: Xotic Wah->JHS FUZZ series 3->EHX pitchfork+->Strymon Compardre->Walrus Audio Warhorn/Ages combo->Xotic SL drive-> Friedman BE-OD->JHS Muffaletta->OBNE Reflector V3-> Walrus audio M1->Alexander pedals Rewind->Strymon Timeline->Strymon Big Sky-> Hologram Microcosm I'm thinking about replacing the two JHS fuzzes with the walrus audio eons and finding a smaller reverb than the big sky. Looking to integrate these pedals for the main big pedalboard with midi, and having a Nano+ og metro max size pedalboard for the small and easygoing rig Looking forward for you feedback

  • @SamWittek

    @SamWittek

    4 ай бұрын

    Thanks so much! I'm sure that's a killer sounding board. I haven't personally tried the Eons but it seems like there's a ton of fuzz options packed into it. For a smaller reverb option that also integrates with MIDI, I'd definitely recommend the Jet Pedals Revelation. Super small footprint but packs a massive punch 💪🏼

I hope you can share your insight on some of my concern since I’m rebuilding my pedalboard, just wanna know your thoughts: - Why your tuner is after the volume pedal, -If I have an octaver, should it run before/after the compressor? Btw, my current chain as of now is: Tuner-Octaver-TonePressCompressor-FulltoneDrive1-Plumes-SparkMini-DVP4-Orca-Slo might consider rearranging the chain though. Thanks and God bless you!

    Thank you! And great question. I have my tuner actually going out of the "tuner out" of the volume pedal. I have it here because that means it's basically separate from my signal chain, and I can keep it on without muting my signal. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions!

    Great demo and solid pro playing. I have the Mobius, and also don’t enjoy the menu diving. I can highly recommend the Xotic EP Booster. It adds a rich sonic dimension to leads when placed immediately ahead of your favorite gain. Note: the Mobius doesn’t like the dB boost of the EP. Thank you for using your gift to glorify Jesus. I wish contemporary Christian albums weren’t so afraid to include guitar solos on their tracks. What a shame. Sweet Comfort Band did, but that was then.

    Love the pitchfork! I personally prefer the compressor before my drives because I want there to be some volume increases when I engage higher stage drives, especially my boost. If my compressor is after the drives, it'll squish everything more and things will just get dirtier, without necessarily any more volume being added. Hope that makes sense!

    Hi Sam, so I assume based on your board you tap the tempo of each song in. How do you switch delay subdivision? I assume you have to bend down and use the pedal itself. Do you no longer use the Analog endeavors switch? I’m looking at getting an El Cap and was hoping there was a foot switch that could handle both tap tempo and also a favorite switch so I can have one favorite for dotted eight and one for quarter note just in case.

    Yep! I still have the analog endeavors switch but i'm just not using it atm. I use dotted 8th 90% of the time so it's never been too much trouble to bend down and change subdivisions when needed. I know the newer El Cap v2 has midi and presets, so I'm sure that would be a solution for you!

    @@SamWittek Thanks! A different question. I've always been wondering if I should try out an Iridium. I currently use an HX Stomp for amps and it's fine, but your tones in the your video make we want to try out an Iridium. For the Tone Factor IRs, I saw your listed the ones you are using, but does it matter which one you load into what stereo slot (left v. right)? And then do you have to keep the left and right consistent when running your signal to the mixer? Thanks!
