Amazing that all of these professional world class guitar players took time out of their day to critique your simple swell tutorial. Lightning in a bottle I’ll tel ya!!

Ahh. I thought this would be much more complicated. Thank you for making it so simple, yet expanding out to the "Advanced Swells" too! Can't wait to get my electric out and try it! Thanks!

Aaaaugh, so beautiful. I could listen to guitar ambient swells all day... they make my skin crawl.

Thanks for sharing this, Jon. It's always nice to see other ambient guitarists share their techniques and learn how they approach things!

Hello, I'm from Brazil and always watch your videos much like the sound you make, God bless your life. A Hug!

Usually having 4+ Styrmon pedals means that you have 0 creativity and a lot of money but then again I absolutely CANNOT argue with those sweet sweet swells. Nice work! I would love to come to a workshop sometime!

Sounds beautiful... That sure is one heck of a rig you got there! And you definitely know what you're doing.... Very cool.

Great workshop, Jon. I'd love to see the whole thing, if you guys are going to upload more of it.

Hey Jon, I like the Ambient Guitar Swells tutorial, especially at 4:57 into the video. You display what you say is playing harsh on the bridge. I just wanted to say that I found it beautifully inspiring. I subscribed to your channel and didn't find a full video of that (harsh) type of playing technique , so I was wondering if you have a 4-5 minute video playing just like that. I'd love to hear a continuation of it. If so how do I find it. Thanks.

Excellent. Do you have a link to the video of the chords you were talking about at 1:04 'Chris's instructions'?

Hey, I've had the same problem with trails going on and on from having feedback settings on my pedals for good swells. I don't have the gear for it, but you can add another volume pedal at the end of your chain. A little bit of foot dancing but can be crucial to use in some parts.

***** Hahaha. I layer a lot of my delays. Commonly I will use an analog delay, a tape delay and a digital delay to get some of my swell tones. I obviously like the timeline and the things that it does. So if I ever wanted to layer two unique delays like the ice and the dual digital panning left and right in series I have the ability to do so. It just gives me more flexibility in my tone and doesn't restrict my creativity.

Great tutorial! Where do you place your volume pedal in your chain and which model do you have?

Hey man thanks you’re a good player I would like to know if ur volumen pedal is the first set or between drives and delays?

Great video.. I am a newbie getting to pedals. Ambient music is where I am headed. What are the red and silver pedals on your board ( beneath the strymons?)..

Hey one more delay pedal on that board and you will reverse the space time continuum :-). I love my el cap - it's bigger on the inside.

1:59 sleeping in this sound 🤩

Would this work if you had a volume pedal and the ability to use reverb and delay on your amp at the same time?

What model is your guitar?? Its like the white falcon but kinda smaller... Love it!!

Hey Jon, thank you ! What is the brand/model of your 2 switchers loopers ?

AWESOME PEDAL BOARD!! What are the fingerings for your chord inversions?? I have the Boss GT-10, which is a digital multi-effects processor. However, there is a "manual" mode I can put it in, which resembles analog stompboxes, in the sense that I can turn effects on and off under the same patch. It's actually pretty cool. Anyway, what should the settings be for: delay? Reverb? Modulation? I can have two delays set up, too. Should I use some slight overdrive, like the TS9? We don't have a keyboardist at the moment, so I would love to create ambient noise in between songs.

Basically tape delay with infinite reverbs. Mostly his sound is coming from the Strymon Big Sky Bloom effect, pretty sure, but if you use a slow attack and a tape delay, you will achieve something similar

I can. but check out some of my other videos. I go through a bunch of ways to chain it all together.

Killer pedal board but there is a crackle in the volume pedal pot. The weak link in the chain. Very cool sounds and playing.

me encanta!!

Where do you put the volumepedal? Because i heard its different if you put it before distortion or after. I want the volume to do cool swells and when i dont want the distortion to be clean when im using the volume pedal when i put it down. i want the gain to be the same all way to quiet. Also where do you have your POG and freeze in chain?

Will the hot rod deluxe suit well for cleans? worship? I need to buy an amp and I'm having a hard time deciding but don't want to break the bank. I tried fender blues jr and vox ac10 and loved them.. Does having the vintage 30 speaker help with sound? thanks.

What church is this? This looks like my old church a lot. Very similar, beautiful swells

Hey Jon this is amazing. Thanks for this tutorial. am a beginner in guitar pedals but have been playing guitar for a while... I really need to ask you what delay is best for swells analog vs digital delay if I can only get either one... or a reverb pedal only could do it. its so heavenly sounding. What octave pedal are you using?

@micahdavis3625

Ashley Chenga Obviously I am not Jon, but I do have some pointers. If you want to have the ultimate usefulness, I would recommend trying to get the TC Electronic Triple Delay so you could have the clean digital delay and the darker analog repeats on at the same time, but in one box. If you can't get something like that (or two different boxes), then I would recommend getting a digital delay that has some kind of modulation control (or maybe an analog like the MXR Carbon Copy). Anything with modulation will sound great with swells, but analog delays generally don't have tap tempo and aren't very clean for percussive dotted eighth type delays (again, not a rule, just a general idea). You can totally get either, but for swells, I recommend analog or digital with modulation so your swells don't sound "sterile."

Micah Davis Thank you so much. Helped me out a ton. I will definitely look that up TC triple Delay. I recently started building a pedalboard and as far as delay is concerned I was able to get the DD7 Boss pedal for a start. I like the dotted 8 stuff/and tap tempo feature it has (with Foot Switch). And thanks for explaning a little about analog vs digital. I lean towards the digital cause I'm a Boss fan & fell for DD7 first time I saw a demo. Modulation in pedals is a term I am trying to grasp too as I did the analog vs digital delay. So much to learn. Thanks again! Cheers from Mozambique

@micahdavis3625

If you have the DD7 already, then I would definitely go for something like the Carbon Copy. It'll get you that darker analog modulation that'll liven up your swells. Cheers!

Thank you once again. Appreciate your help. Pedals are soooo fun :) but expensive

+Miguel F regarding your question about does it get "redundant if you get another delay or reverb even though you already have those on your pedal board" I don't know if you caught what he was explaining when he moved onto what he calls "advance swells" but he went from one delay pedal & one reverb to an "analog delay, a 'dual delay', a really washy reverb" & an additional reverb on top of that. there's nothing really "advanced" about it you're just using more effects pedals but there is a difference in sound, if you could hear it, with more a deeper more effected sound & the chords decayed slower. it's really just a matter of preference & the sound you're going for. as far as if you mean the exact same pedal like having one electro harmonix holy grail and adding another holy grail to your board that's still a matter of preference. if you really like the reverb or delay produced by a certain pedal why not? to have two delay or reverb pedals that have different features or can do slightly different things such as looping abilities might add more tools to your sonic palette. hope this helps

If I have a ambient preset with the delay at a certain bpm and I’m doing swells will that work with songs that aren’t the same bpm

So Jon, can you share the chords you used for those swell, please?

I just purchased the ernieball vp jr 25k ... Hope I got the right one. I plan to use it in effects loop. Do you have the 25k or the 250k?

Very explosions in the skyesque

Best swell tutorial that I've seen (even though your using a lot of delay and 2 reverbs) but what about using reverse delay setting??

@joncarolino

dkfno1 Ive done that before too. It all just depends on your setup and what textures you want to achieve in your swells

i bought the big sky a while ago and maybe i just don’t know much working around it but i’m not a huge fan of the synthy sounding finish for the swells on big sky

Few seconds in. Sub'ed

Bridge pickup, a good amount of gain and then swell single notes.

Is that Route 66 good? I've been looking for a good worship drive.

Its not redundant if you get another delay or reverb eventhough you already have those on your pedal board?

Nice bro. But how do you handel the feedback problem with those F-holes? I still have that problem. Thats why I'm using a solid body strat like guitar.

Alex Batz You dont need delay but it helps to hold the sound of the notes you play longer

How many programmable bands have a timeline? I want to do 8 bands ala Allan Holdsworth. He in his late years used a Yamaha UD stomp.

What notes aré you playing when you swell?

What happens if you put a transparent Overdrive, even quite subtly, in front of the delay and reverbs?

What pedals are best for these swells if you have a tight budget?

How to play pads on a guitar basically. The volume pedal makes it easier than the volume knob obviously.

Hmmm, all those Strymons and a Visual Sound OD? I suppose you don't even need a great OD pedal with a Badcat and a Jackson amp behind you. Sounds pretty great.

Ive NEVER had any tone issues using my vpjr. None of the "tone-loss" issues ever effected me. But I like my tone really bright and usually my volume pedal is right in the middle of my chain so theres all kinds of buffers and blah blah blah to help it. SO! All depending on where you have your volume pedal and what pedals you have in front of it (if at all) you should be fine.

@micahdavis3625

9 жыл бұрын

jon carolino I might be late, but my volume pedal of choice right now is the AMT Little Loudmouth. It has a buffer in it to reduce signal loss and a built in boost in case you experience a volume drop or just want to push your amp harder. It also has a crazy small footprint, but still a good sweep. If you're worried about tone loss, check out some active pedals just in case (or put a buffered pedal in front of the vp). Hope this helps!
