Sounds great Bill! Also, thank you for all of the videos you have uploaded onto KZread. I’ve been able to learn quite a bit about guitar tech from your content. Gratitude 🙏

I love your playing on this, you showcase the pedal better than most of the other vids on here. Excellent work

This demo is great, you're great, and Chords of Orion is great! Keep up the good work!

I enjoyed this presentation so much, I'm subscribing. I'm glad we get both pro's and con's.

Thanks, what a great demo! I love that you actually let the sounds inspire you and not just play the same riffs over and over like other people tend to do. And man, that doubler plus distortion sounds like it's great for some noise rock.

Love the drum mode, especially that cool thing ya played there. Gives me an idea there!

Congratulations! This video convinced me to purchase one of these as a gift. I am going to send them this video when I give it to them so they can see what this things can do. It looks like so much fun!

the loop at the end almost brought me to tears -- really emotional

Mr Vencil I love it when I stumble upon a genuinely old school tasteful musician, that is a TRUE musician with authentic musicality and correct, heartfelt aesthetics oozing from the playing and phrasing, which you are! Stay strong, blessed, inspired, untamed.

That just found its way onto my board. Incredible tonal possibilities. I use it with my guitars and basses. Sounds great on both.

I love Pitch mode!Thank you for cool playing demo!!

Just ordered one today. I'm now watching videos to see what it does. Looks like it an absolute monster. The reverse mode is mindblowingly wicked. PS: Amazon promised delivery in 10 days. It arrived in 3. Great job.

Amazing demo! Thanks so much for sharing.

Man, I’ve learned so much from your channel. I play a lot of ambient style stuff in my post punk band. Cheers!

Ooh I’ll have to try it with an ebow! Great video. I’ve done a couple quick demos on my new channel but haven’t actually used the pedal much yet. It’s deep!

But honestly man, I have rarely seen a musician rock a delay pedal like that. You really know your stuff.

Best guitar channel.

just loving this pedal bill,tnx 4 the heads up on spec/fx.thank you.....

love my GC, sounds wonderful!

Sick demo! A friend of mine has this pedal. She uses it to give herself a pad effect while playing acoustic guitar.

Based on your review, I went ahead and purchased one. This is the best pedal I ever owned. It is even more powerful than I thought: cascading pitches within the delay signal, multi delay with head selection, flanging/chorus modulation ... it is superb. A good turbo drive or fuzz before it and all of the tones in Meddle or even DSotM are doable - besides the rotary speakers 😉.

Yes, Bill, that is beautiful (and not a horribly expensive pedal).

This may sound crazy, but I’m considering buying this even though I have a strymon timeline. I had the single channel canyon before the timeline, and it had my favorite shimmer sound of any reverb/delay I’ve owned. This stereo version has more delay modes that all sound usable and unique, and unlike the timeline, this pedal is knob-per-function. Sometimes I just want that immediacy when I’m quickly dialing in delay settings as opposed to diving into serious sound design.

Beautiful, just beautiful. I'm curious to know how many pedals do you own? 😃. As always, thanks again for another wonderful video!!!

Nothing more to say, then it is sweetness! Nice job showing its features. I liked the Shim sound the best. Wonder what chaos it would cause if there 2 of these plugged in.

Well , since the input is mono, might be better to plug a canyon in front. Wait a minute - I have a Canyon! Heh, heh, heh... 😎

i just bought one of these. thanks for the input regarding the additional power supply. i noticed this was 9.5V, so I will use the supplied wall wort when i use this. i do find this pedal not as user friendly as other pedals, but i am happy with the sounds it creates

I don't think it was the voltage he was refering too. It clearly says 9v on the pedal. Its the mA thats odd at 150mA. Most power supplys are around 80mA

I really wish the lite version of this pedal (and cheaper model), Canyon, had a doubler feature! That sound is super incredible.

Wow, hearing that stereo effect is super lush! You weren't kidding when you said this version can do even more than the Canyon but I'm actually intimidated a bit by all the features. I imagine this would take me a couple of months to really learn how to use properly. One quick question for you about the Canyon - can it do the fading loops like this Grand Canyon too? Just curious as that seemed like a really nice sound.

Brilliant quality video as always. I was considering selling this because of the bulky power supply. But with this potential (when I am more skilled) how can I...

Although I liked all delay types of this device, I liked "The Doubler" much more. It really sounded cool to my ears specially with the distortion you added to the signal chain. It was the sound of prog rock! And I have a request, can you make one (or more) video(s) on progressive rock? where to start, sound design, rhythmic patterns, etc. I would love to hear tips and guides about that genre.

I have the single version of the Canyon and it’s great. This deluxe must really be a wonderful gear.

I was to buy the Canyon but after you demo I feel I have to spare a lot more money :D

I have just found your channel, and you have fantastic content! If it was your money, what would you go for: mxr carbon copy deluxe, source audio Nemesis, EHX Grand canyon, or Strymon El capistan?

Hi Bill, you have a great channel. Thanks for all the demos. I am currently looking for a versatile delay that will give me everything a delay can offer plus more fun effects, and I like the idea of having a looper built in! I am between the Grand Canyon and the DD-500. Any recommendation are welcome. Thank you!

I'd like to see a demo of this with the cathedral or the oceans 12.

Just inspired me to play!

Great vid as usual bill. This thing is nirvana

This is one of the few pedals I would be happy playing till the day I die

Another tip from me Bill, if you havent done yet, check out Meris Hedra and Mercury 7 awesome features for ambient!

I need this.

Awesome pedal but I absolutely love the PRS baritone!

This review sold me on getting this pedal and I'm loving it. The only problem that I have with it is that the fonts are a bit too small and I'm short sighted, so it's kinda hard for me to read the controls unless I'm close to the pedal.

Thanks for a great demo. How would you rate this against the tc electronics x4 pedal. I see you reviewed them both. I have to decide which one to buy. Thanks!

Love your playing and as always, great in depth demos. Have you used any of the OBNE pedals? They are very interesting and offer different sounds not found in other pedals.

No - it starts recording when you press the foot switch. If you are looking to do loops in time, there is a little bit of practice involved to get it smooth.

Is the tape mode on the grand/regular canyon useable for frippertronics style loops with the tape distortion set low?

@chordsoforion

2 жыл бұрын

The tape delay is not really long enough for effective "Frippertronics". That being said, the looper on the Grand Canyon is one of the absolute best "Frippertronics" features out there. Turn the overdub level down below 100%, and you got it. You can also combine the frippertronics loop with any of the delay types for even more goodness.

Can someone explain why someone would need any pedal other than this?

You gonna do the new Oceans 12?

Not at all - I use an old EV Cardinal microphone (above the camera), running into a ART Pro MPA tube mic preamp. From there, the signal goes into my computer's audio interface into Logic Pro. I mix and master it with the guitar track (which recorded through my amp modeler. Once I export the mix, I pull it into Final Cut and sync it with the video's camera audio, which is then muted. Hope that makes sense.

I don't really have an opinion about Schecter or Ibanez baritones, other than they seem to be marketed to the metal side of things. Which is fine, but that is not me. I also have a preference for semi-hollow / chambered bodies and P90 / low output humbuckers, which 2 of my PRS baris fulfill.

Is there a way I can recreate the doubler effect with another delay pedal? I replaced my Grand Canyon with a D1 and miss that setting

The TC Mimiq and Styrmon Deco do great doubler effects. For a delay pedal, you would probably want something that has a "dual" delay type along with delay modulation. Set it to a very short delay time and feedback all the way down.

The 2 pedals are significantly different. The Oceans 11 is a mono reverb pedal and the Grand Canyon is a stereo delay pedal that happens to have a single reverb setting. IMO you can't compare one to the other. As far as your effects order goes, you can can delay-> Looper, but not delay->reverb->looper. Hope that makes sense!

​@@danielguitar5150 Sorry - misunderstood. As far as stacking the 2 together goes, if you are OK with a mono signal chain then it will work in either order. If you want to stay in stereo, then you will need to put the Oceans 11 first in the chain. I normally prefer reverbs after delays, so that would not be optimal for me.

grit/distortion is one of the secondary functions for that delay type. You can dial in the level you prefer.
