lo-fi on the cheap (i.e., you might already have these boxes): take a 6 or 7 band eq and drop every other slider down. Pair that with a vibe, phaser or flanger, maybe a little reverb and you're good to go. Eq's can be dirt cheap.

I remember looking at catalogs (!) and wondering if it would make me sound like Graham Coxon’s first solo record that sounds like it was recorded inside a potato.

There's this powerful "get more out of what you already have - by insanely thinking out of the box" (subtext?) message in your pedal vids, Ivan. Which is SUSTAINABLY INSPIRING. Imho the only true antidote to GAS, which is the hauntingly persistent plague of our times: "Buy more to feel mo' better"… And that's exactly why I dig your entire Oeuvre so desparately, apart from your soulfully emotional commitment of playing uncompromisingly in the pocket with the most cheesiest of sounds. My two favs apart from the technical ideas in this vid are the Fuzzed out Mariah Carey fuge and Superdrag's Sucked Out, for the irresistible rock groove. Wish I could give a hundred likes instead of only that painfully insufficient one. In honesty, ALL of your vids so far have been lo-fi guitar gold mines, anyway. Keep 'em coming!

You should look into Mask Audio Electronics. I have the Part Garden and it does the weirdest lofi fuzz tones. And then their Line Blur is strange because it has a frequency control for the mids and it can get weird or it can be a really good preamp but I use it to make my Plumes crackle in a broken speaker type of way without being too distorted.

I've recommended it on comments of this channel before but the mr black analog chorus Vibrato can be "stretched" to insane delay times giving it a very gen-loss type of effect, even in a random fluttering Lfo. Using fast choppy tremolo is a nice way to get a flutter that sounds fairly complete but is missing information between the duty peaks. There are a number of subdecay pedals like their quasar and starlight pedals with some random lfos that can get this magical texture to them- I'm stretching though. Awesome topic and nice sounds as always man
@CyberattackWorld4 ай бұрын

@michaelfowler31874 ай бұрын
I said delay times but I actually meant lfo rate.. it can go into about 14 seconds per cycle so it is a stretched or purring sound effect from what sounds like blurry bucket brigade smearing goodness. Buzzwords. Anyway the delay time is not what I actually meant to say on the earlier comment- thanks

Nice work as always, Ivan. I really enjoyed your use of pitch shifting up a few steps, which I think you've done before. It occurs to me that if there were a way to keep the shifted signal clean but make the notes a bit more staccato by cutting them out, the resultant sound would be like a cheap Casiotone keyboard with a guitar patch. Which seems pretty consistent with the Cyberattack esthetic. I'd like to chase that down, but I don't know of an effect that cuts out notes prematurely (I guess it would be some kind of timed noise gate). Any thoughts?
