BRO what you have here is a custom pedal development test-bed. General workflow: 1) jam out on the modular and find a sound you like 2) trace back the signal path and do a little boolean algebra to simplify out any redundancies 3) draw a circuit diagram that describes the simplified signal path and hardwire all key modulation settings with whatever appropriate surface-mount components will replace the dial. 4) get your circuit fabbed up on a PCB that fits inside a pedal. there's a whole neighborhood of challenges to overcome in acomplishing each step, for sure, but it is *possible*

You could also checkout the Norns or the Organelle which aren't strictly guitar pedals but certainly can function as them and can be setup to play sounds that imitate a modular system. I mean due to the open source modules you can literally use some exact copies on the organelle.

5:09 When they both shake their heads and smile...pure discovery ❤

This entire episode was incredible as a music producer it was great to see a traditional guitar transformed into so many different sounds by using synth modulators ultimately this will be the future of guitar performances

The guitar to control volume experiment as other have said is just AM, I wanted to drop the relatively simple math though for those interested. A typical VCA is a 2 quadrant multiplier (won't go negative, as Andrew briefly mentioned, which would be ring modulation), and from the video you can see that's what they're using, an Intellijel Quad VCA module. If the oscillator they use was at 500Hz say and they played a pure 200 Hz tone to control the volume, that would create to "sideband" signals at 300Hz and 700Hz (500 +/- 200) so you'd hear all 3 tones - it would look exactly like my current KZread account icon on a spectrum analyzer. ;) In this case the guitar note has multiple harmonics all generating the same math at once, so what you're hearing is the original oscillator frequency +/- additions at all frequencies in the guitar note spectrum. That's why playing a harmonically related note to the oscillator sounded good, the new added sidebands become good sounding integer multiples of the original oscillator. Anyone that wants to try this out could set it up in VCV Rack for free to play around. Very cool video!

I don't think it's the electric guitar sound more than it is people's ability to be stuck with one type of sound. How do you define "the electric guitar sound", you can't because it's different across the board. Effects pedals do this, just to a lesser degree. I mean even The Beatles were experimenting with how to modify sounds like this in the 60's. It's just that some people have this idea that Guitar=Rock Music but then say that doesn't sound like Rock Music. Just stop putting things in borders and you'll be more creative yknow. The Edge from U2 has an insane effects rig and would probably delve into sounds like this and no one would dispute U2 is rock music.

Please make this a series it shows exactly the kind of creativity and playfulness that makes music such a beautiful form of communication, love ye guys

Experimenting with FM and phase have recently been one of my favorite things in sound design. Seeing you guys geek out about it too is amazing!

Awesome! Its cool that you did a technical analysis of the B modulation in addition to just having fun with it!

Rob always gives off the most chill super talented nice guy vibes.

that delay was absolutely amazing

A bromance for the ages. I vibe off the joy you both get out of just creating these crazy sounds

i loved this video so so much, i really hope we get to see more of this!

For anyone a bit confused about the amplitude modulation section - the guitar’s vibration frequency (aka pitch) is essentially acting as a secondary oscillator, AM-ing the sine wave. That’s why all the phase relationships and overtones matter - it’s not just a 1:1 volume to cv relationship, it’s utilising the raw oscillations of the guitar as an AM source.

Man that would be awesome to hear a full band play with

this is so sweet to watch! Exploring and having fun

This is good stuff, beautiful i watch a video with Rob playing an accustic, only then to follow up with, a video of him and Andrew playing around with his giant synth module.

I LOVE this video! Hearing you theorize about what's going on is great!

This hit nostalgia I didn't I had sleeping in me. This whole video hit that old Final Fantasy X vibes for me. That delay section was amazing brother, keep on doing what you do

I NEED that gorgeous delay effect as a plugin. Genuinely some of the most beautiful effects based music i've ever heard

Love the thumbnail! So good

i feel like everyone became smarter with this session

Rob achieves SHOEGAZE yeahhhhh

Some of the sounds really remind me of the sounds a band called "Tera Melos" create; amazing stuff!

This is so cool. Heard a couple of ideas that really remind me of my favorite experimental artists. Love it.

turns out you can also do this with your voice! I just used a recording of me speaking as "super fast cv" on the vca and yeh, the speech was actually still intelligible. fascinating stuff!

This was really cool! The amount of possibilities with modular as an "effects pedal" is just limitless, and I never even knew it was even possible! As someone who's a sucker for granular synthesis that part of the video was nice to listen to. Granular always sounds good with reverb ;)

Wow - loved Rob's guitar throug the 4MS Tapographic Delay; that was sublime!

Watching the both of you riffing off each other was SO gorgeous and also really inspirational. Diggin' it bigtime.

Andrew and Rob is an unrivaled pairing

9:28 that's also similar to how a vocoder works too, just with only one band, where the sine is the carrier and the guitar is the modulator.

Very impressive! I loved the atmospheric under water sound! It is just too beautiful. The 6.30-7.00 sounded like something you could use for a soundtrack for a movie like Tron (I wish that movie existed..). Really cool!

Rob's jam at the very beginning made my day! This is fricking AWESOME!!!
