I found the heaviest distortion pedal and used it on harp
Рет қаралды 1,687,226
Күн бұрынPrepare yourselves, djentlemen. Nepenthes by Electrofoods is the heaviest distortion pedal I could find, and today we're trying it out on not one, but two harps. The Electrofoods Nepenthes makes the harp sound like a BEAST~
Thank you so much to Electrofoods Ultd for sending me this pedal!

@johndemeritt3460 2 жыл бұрын
@@gramursowanfaborden5820, problem is that you've got a REALLY HEAVY harp: the frame for the piano strings is generally made of brass and is triple stringed: it's more closely related to the hammer dulcimer than to the harp. And a 16/15 hammer dulcimer in proper tune has over 2000 pounds of string tension trying to torque the ends of the board inward. A properly tuned piano has A LOT MORE strings. The other problem you'll run into is deciding how to turn this monster into either a pedal or lever harp. I think I'd be inclined to go for the levers, but I'm not a harpist. Trying to make the piano guts into a serviceable pedal harp would undoubtedly involve mechanics more complicated than my addled brain could handle. On the other hand, if you had the knowledge and skills to do so, turning an old piano into a harp would undoubtedly yield one of the most unique instruments ever. And freed of the sound board/box of a conventional harp/piano, I'm sure you could do some wickedly interesting things with it!

I'm reminded of the harpist who played on Metallica's first S&M video/album (haven't seen the second one, admittedly). The dude was tatted up with both sleeves and I believe he was wearing a Metallica t-shirt that clearly came from his own collection coming into the building. I'd really like to see him have a go with these distortion pedals and see if he could rip up some Metallica tunes... or heavier.

As fun as your experiments are, and as goofy as the results can sometimes be (hi fart pedal), I really think this channel is such important work. You are pushing the envelope on people’s conceptions of what a pedal or harp can be. You are modeling a playful and experimental approach to music that is informed by classical technique but free of pretensions. You’re sparking creativity in others. And you’re entertaining AF!

@Katerina Moran Is it not possible to play harmonics on a Harp? It has strings just like any other instrument, if you measured them and played around a bit it doesn't seem impossible to find the spots needed for the overtones of each string. It's harder than just normal natural and artificial harmonics on a guitar (where the strings are roughly equal lengths and many of the overtones occur directly over the frets), but not unimaginably so.

It wasn't about being "heavy" it was about the tone that was produced running a harp through a distortion pedal being similar to some of the sounds that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross used when they produced Ghosts. Not everything with heavy distortion is about swedish Metal from the 80s. Have a nice day pumpkin.

A great option to "palm mute" or mute strings is the product "Patafix". It is an adherent putty that does not leave residues or substances on the strings. It is used to prepare pianos (to prepare harmonics or just mute strings) in contemporary music. The best part is that It applies and removes very quickly. You can give it a try and see how it works on the harp
