    Seen in the comments there is some confusion about the editing when I speak about the Prophet 6 and Prophet X. To clarify - from 1:10 it's the PX I'm on about. And yes, I said 'spontinuity' instead of 'spontaneity' - was a long day...

    Also, I wasn't saying my pedals were cheap or shit, I meant that pedals in general, including cheap and shit ones, are great (and fun) for running sound through.

    Speaking of history, I have a huge connection with Nothing Is Still record. My grandma died in Covid and I was really sad and all these days, I woke up and put on my shoes to go jogging around my neighbourhood with Nothing Is Still on my headphone. There's literally nobody on the street and it elevates the music experience into a next level. Very surreal. If you are reading this, Leon, thank you so much for your record. Your music healed me completely during the Covid time. Take care, my friend.

    I remember an old video of him still having long hair and making music in a typical bedroom studio, he went a loooong way since then, both as an artist, and as an owner of equipment. A real artist with a great taste for anything really, I might say :D even his book was pretty awesome. (but he didn't answer my email about that book, and that was sad! lol)

    I like how he talks about pedals being often cheap option for processing sound while having only the front part of the pedalboard at cost of like 2000+ euro :)) (don‘t get me wrong, I love pedals and I totally agree with Leon, just for many people affordable pedals price tags starts quite lower imho)

    I like the tungsten vibe. But the editing is so erratic! 5:46 He's talking about the big knobs on the Shadow Hills Golden Age... then as he says "it looks amazing" we cut to the bottom of the rack. If you want to see it go back to 5:14.

    Nice video, love his music too. The editing on the Prophet 6 and X part is a bit weird. He names the 6 and then starts talking about the X, which has samples. But the X is not introduced (aside from his finger being on it)
