The first pedal I was like "I don't need that" but then i heard what you made of it and was like "holy shit!". Awesome sound!

Haha glad I could help inspire! I have tons of other pedals with synths videos, if you are curious!

That was fantastic. Damn, I've never even thought about running distortion through my Moog or even using an amp sim. i guess I'll give that a whirl now.

I was skeptic at first on what could this pedals do to actually add value to your composition, but you proved my doubt was out of place. No surprise with GenLoss mk2, but the other two really added a lot to the music, nicely done.

@@MilesAwayOfficial I just got a used Gen Loss MK2 on Reverb! Have you had issues with the latency problem people are chatting about? I think it has to do with the wet dry mix setting?

@MilesAwayOfficial 11 ай бұрын

@@kitespongan no, update to the newest firmware and it’s negligible. It just creates a bit of chorusing if you use it in dry/wet split mode, which is a cool effect, that is how I get the chorusing sound in this video!

Been curious about the acs1 mainly to add stereo efx after synth and still have a headphone socket. Ended up with the dsm Humboldt simplifier, but the acs1 is sounding good 👍

@andreumurillo5330 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for your video, I've been looking for weeks on the net for a stereo pedal with amp emulation to connect to my keyboard, it's a Roland VR-09 to play Blues, Soul, funky... and I'm setting up the lightest possible equipment to get a more vintage sound for electric pianos, clavinets and Hammond for gigs. I think this pedal could meet my needs but I can't find any video or test about it with keyboards except this video you have made so well explained. I will try the plugins you propose to get an idea as I have not found any video about it with more vintage sounds. THANK YOU

@MilesAwayOfficial 6 ай бұрын

Hey Andre! I haven't played the VR-09, but from running other Synth/Line Level instruments through Amp Sim Pedals the Walrus ACS1 is by far my favourite because of the feature I show here to run a different amp and cab combo on each side. That's incredibly cool and powerful, and if you like stereo, I highly recommend getting one. If you don't need that level of stereo I've heard good things about the UA pedals, but they are only 1 amp each, so not as good of a deal.

@andreumurillo5330 6 ай бұрын

@@MilesAwayOfficial Thanks for the answer, I will look into those pedals you mention. It's clear from the reviews I've seen that the WALRUS ACS1 is my holy grail, AND YOUR DEMO IS AWESOME. THANK YOU!!!

Try the Meris LVX delay system for crazy options. I have (2) Light Pedals one for each Oberheim OB-X8m L/R channel and I can set them same or totally different and with the OB auto panning it's fantastic.

The Meris LVX is so good, fave pedal! That’s a great tip! I did a whole video on the LVX if you wanna watch!

@GizzyDillespee 11 ай бұрын

The sidechain on the ACS1 jam was too much for me, but by that point I'd heard its tone. Any suggestions for a pedal that generates subharmonics layered with the audio? I know there are plug-ins, and sub-oscs on synths, but I'm sure there must be an fx pedal that sounds good, too...

@MilesAwayOfficial 11 ай бұрын

Haha I am a sidechain addict. But great point about the sub - freq pedal! I would love to know if there was a clean and accurate pedal that did that. In the daw I always just layer a sine with the same midi under, but there would definitely be great use for a pedal

I think you are misunderstanding how a mono in stereo out effect works. Listen on good headphones. The different amp and cab sim models create a stereo sound out of a mono source.
