dude! I also got into My Bloody Valentine after watching Lost In Translation. The scene when she's in the taxi (if I remember correctly) in Tokyo is so sublime. I remember thinking WHO is this band? Shoegaze can really create that magical place that most other genres can't. Side Note: Whenever I heard someone mention My Bloody Valentine before watching this film I always thought they were talking about Bullet For My Valentine. I remember thinking "I didn't know Bullet For My Valentine was around in the 80's."

Funny, I think I've had the same misunderstanding you mentioned at the end, there. Imagine how I feel after just finding out that movie's soundtrack could have introduced me to the genre much sooner in life, meanwhile it's been on my watch list for over a decade. Oh well, better late than never, I suppose. Let that be a prime example of why procrastination is cancer.

I really loved the Digitech Hot Rod Distortion here. I was working on another screen while listening to the video and the Hot Rod Distortion was the pedal that made me stop what I was doing and pay attention to the video. Really loved how transparent it sounds yet it adds a really...warm/nostalgic sound. You make me want to spend all my money on pedals, damn it.

As someone who was into shoegaze first time around especially while I was at uni, I thought you did a really interesting introduction to the genre explaining it in a way that was even new and original to me so cheers for that. I also really like the way you keep your playing inside of a template to help us compare and understand the pedals - it's a really helpful format and sounds really good too.

Great shootout, great way to get clearer chords is to roll of volume on guitar, like when using overdrives. Recently got Digitech Hot Head and it is amazing for my needs with the mixer out setting, as well as Big Muff Pi (w. Tone Wicker) I got some more expensive fuzzes but I found out I could get those sounds out of the Muff with changing settings.

My favorite complimentary fx to this riff was the Waza/Boss sound. Or the Soda Miser sound on your pink Boi. That with the disaster/destroyer pedal at the end would make a solid riff fx sequence to a song, or have them all engaged at once!

@eboethrasher 3 жыл бұрын

I have more of a dreampop tone, a Jazzmaster into (all boss, all japanese models) Boss SD-1, then into an ME-X pedal tray, which has a BF-2 Flange, a DC-3 Digital Dimension, and a PH-2. The ME-X has some very interesting sounds, the pitch shift tracks pretty well, especially when used in conjunction with my e-bow. It also has a chromatic detune, that when you mix with the dual delays (one short, one long) and a nice spacious reverb, it sounds like the guitar is dripping into space. I noticed that the guitarist for Asobi Seksu had one in a live video I saw, which was cool, I wish i had gotten to see them live as I could have chatted with him about what use he got out of it, and how many songs he used it on, etc. Not many people use them anymore, and mine is well over 20 years old at this point.

@garycrant4511 3 жыл бұрын

My personal preference is single note riffs or minimalist power chords through fuzz. I gave up trying to play full chords with fuzz back in 1978. The equipment I had then was probably too limited by my own youthful inexperience to sound any good. I'm now living evidence that we can get too set in our ways. But that does not mean we can never change old habits if motivated to make the effort.. I now own a stupidly large collection of fuzz pedals. There's no reason why big chords shouldn't sound good through some of them...???

I have a Big Muff and a RAT on my pedalboard (my big muff is my booster) and the RAT has cool settings to play with and get a cool sound. I tried few distortion from Boss and they are probably for me the worst distortion i ever heard. I also have a Marshall Jackhammer, very cool pedal for leads but for chords it can go too fat. But you can adjust the filter and the coutour of the sound and it's very nice. But yeah the best distortion that i ever heard and play it's the Proco RAT, through my avalanche run and a flanger it's sound so great!

I'm surprised you only use one of the two settings on the Behringer Super Fuzz? That little thing is my go to Distortion nowadays. There's this trick where you can get the switch just right in between 1& 2 where you can actually get both one and two fuzz Distortion types together. Another cool trick I use is putting the Boost setting on my drum machine. It gives it a real hard, slap, in your face punch.

Hey Max, it's true. I actually forgot to record it. But at the moment of making the video the sound of Fuzz1 just didn't seem right. I had problems getting a good sound out of it. But everyone has different equipment so experiences can differ every now and then. I think I will check thw boost setting again. I found it quite cool.

@doppelmeyer 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Kenneth, big fan of the channel, my first pedal was a Zoom MS 70 CDR which I bought on your recommendation! If you're looking for any new pedals to demo in your videos, I highly recommend the EHX Attack Decay, especially for the fuzz! It isn't even marketed as a fuzz pedal, but I found the fuzz setting so be so good it actually replaced my Big Muff. It's the warmest, most saturated fuzz I've ever heard, you can dial in weird low-res glitchy stuff into it too, and the tone shaping has a boost at the cutoff so you can even get synthy sounding sweeps by moving the knob around. It's also got a ton of other features that fit really nicely into a shoegaze aesthetic. I'd love to see what you can do with it! Cheers xx

This was great! What was that Ultra Blast? Loved it. Couldn't find it online

The Ultrablast is a custom pedal I made with teh german pedal builder Summit Ampifications. I gave it to Scott Cortez, as I designed it to honour his sound. It's a Univox Superfuzz combined with a Devi Ever Rocket Fuzz.

The Caprid Smallfoot is amazing! Have you ever used that one? I think it's modeled after the Rams head Muff.

i'd go Hot Rod...great sound for the money...Big Muff would get second place! Ultrablast would be third...looks fun! The others take the fuzz too far man!!

im kind of insane so i have fuzz at multiple points in my chain. we start with a RAT, into a DBA Fuzz War, into modulation, then reverb, then a Big Muff after the reverb

I just use two Distortion/Fuzz pedals, a Zvex Fuzz factory and a Proco Rat clone that has a Silicon/Germanium circuit option. The Fuzz factory is just as wild as you want it to be and the Rat on germanium can give great distortion sounds plus a great fuzz tone on either circuit option. Apart from that I use a Blues driver basically as a boost pedal, works well for me!

This is a very great and classic selection!

@@berlinshoegazer it’s a great setup, the cost of a genuine Fuzz factory made my eyes water a bit but I compensated by a decent Rat clone and I already had the Blues driver. I prefer to play with my Jazzmaster set up with Irongear P90’s, it’s got a better sound than Humbuckers to me, I tried a Mustang with Irongear Humbuckers that I also have and it just didn’t seem right!

Kevin's, MBV, main Fuzz Pedal is the "Fender Blender Fuzz". The Blender is pretty-much Kevin's signature Fuzz sound... .

Are the amp settings shown the one you used? Also where did you get the Ultra Blast pedal? I can't find one anywhere online

The Dream Crusher is my favorite fuzz! I love to combine it with the Afterneath reverb... the sounds are huge and vast.

Hey, Kenny, have you ever tried Boss PW-2? Some call it the Oasis pedal and others call it the Boss' Big Muff. I think it would work well in a shoegaze pedalboard

@AliceInChains98 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, would you recommend me to buy the digitech? I mean, it has a lot of sounds and forms of using it right? Cuz I need a distortion/fuzz but what I liked about it on the video it was that even through all the chaos of distortion, it stills sounds clear what notes are you playing... so I was thinking into getting a Hot Rod first, to play chords and then buy a big muff for the solos and the chaotic times

@berlinshoegazer 2 жыл бұрын

With the Hot Rod you got one of the fattest and best shoegaze distortion pedals in my opinion. Affordable and effective. The big Muff on the Digitech DF7 is more usable because of its EQ settings that an actual Big Muff. But you have to try what you like better I guess.
