Wall of Sound KZread channel launched the first video in April 2019.The channel creates detailed reviews of guitar and bass effect pedals. The different pedal control settings are checked out, while playing guitar or bass, to give a full impression of how the pedal can sound like and what it can do. In some of the videos, the effect pedal are combined with another pedal to emphasize the effect. For example adding an overdrive pedal to a phaser or delay pedal. If you're interested in a specific type of effect or brand, check out the playlist section.

    I remember when this came out, and have always been interested in it for its ability to add something very subtle and undefinable to the sound. I guess it falls into the harmonic trem category, which has seen some renewed interest these last years.

    @@WallofSoundDK That's not true, you had another comment here stating that this sounded like crap. Given that this is the only video that I've seen so far that sounds so shrill, I would say the problem is with how you are recording this. Why not just go directly into a mixer and leave the mic out of the equation? By the way, I am using a good studio monitor setup that sounds just fine even at full blast, which I never do anyway. If you don't believe me, search out some of the other reviews and do the comparison yourself. I appreciate that you take the time to do these videos, but maybe there is a reason your subscriber count is so low. I am sorry to be so critical, but I'm just giving honest feedback. Sorry to make you so defensive, that wasn't the goal.

    ​@@SuperClydeJ Thanks for the input, but like I said MOST comments! There's just one stating it doesn't sound good - but remember I use same setup for all 245 videos (changed amp though) and I never get these kind of comments from other viewers. I've used SM57 and other mic's for over 20 years, and I would NEVER go DI into a mixer, sounds like crap. I have tested this way of recording for years and seen/heard many other guitarplayers use this method - thats why I use this method myself. I do test the tone control all the way from left to right - maybe you jumped into the video when it was at full treble? But to suggest that my way of recording has something to do with number of subscribers is just low...

    Google: Like many effects, flanger emerged organically in a studio decades ago, probably through a happy accident. The first recorded use of flanger was by legendary guitarist Les Paul in 1949, although many credit The Beatles with popularizing the effect a decade later. :-)

    You didn't explain what the straight through sound was. You failed to explain WHAT CHANGED when you plugged in the pedal. You failed to realise it's more suitable in A FULL SET OF mxr pedals. You also failed to understand that Fender has a unique signal from their electronics. This pedal will sound completely different if you plug in a Gibson guitar.

  • @WallofSoundDK
    @WallofSoundDK26 күн бұрын

    YOU failed to realize that the clean sound is described 0:19 and also in the description ;-) If you think MXR pedals only go with MXR pedals, then WAKE UP. I have three MXR and a Mad Professor on my bass board ;-) I have a Gibson Les Paul too, but prefer to do the videos with my Strat. I mention that in the video, because I'm aware of the fact that any guitar colors the effect sound and Strats have their own special tone.

    Why are you playing single notes and expecting them to chorus? You must play the full chord so we can hear the church choir chorus. The church doesn't get 1 singer to chorus. No, they get everyone to sing and then you can hear the wobbling sound.

    Usually- and I don't know with this particular circuit because even though it's called a "Muff" it's also an "overdrive" not a "fuzz" - but with most fuzz circuits- they only sound good if you adjust the volume on your guitar. Usually, you turn them on- and they sound way to over the top, way too washed out, the bottom end is all flubby and distorting- sounds awful. But you turn the volume down on the guitar- and you start finding all kinds of useable tones. Some od are the same way- they're just not made for a really hot pick up. That's one thing I like about modelers- you can usually find a good setting on the input block for hotter pickups and save it as a preset.
