Absolutely my favorite part of this pedal

You should see the underside

Well fulltone is going out of business, so at least you’ve got an OCD

@@EllieReagan on one hand, good. On the other, they’re likely not but just outsourcing all the manufacturing so he can cash checks from his ranch full of 99 finely tuned guitars

@@markjohnstonofficial Haha, that’s hilarious. I only heard this from a friend who was contemplating a panic buy…I suppose there’s more to the story!

I record all my takes with my studio monitors on and running click (easy because I record direct so there’s no mic bleed). I start almost every take from the beginning of the session so I just have to find that hard clicked “1” in every video take and align them to the start of the song file

@@markjohnstonofficial thank you for sharing this! Also big fan of your work here :)

@@markjohnstonofficial Thanks for the response, and that makes so much sense to do it like that. I have no monitors (apartment living) but also record direct so I should have the option to try it out. I guess I have just recorded the part being played, because that's also how I usually record. But if every take has the same starting point, then I can see how it becomes easier. Your knowledge on pedals and using them as instruments in their own right to create a musical tapestry of textures and depth is admirable. Thanks for sharing you're knowledge, it's highly appreciated!

So what I used to do, way back in the day when I was always recording headphones only, was to include a strike at the top of the piece; basically I would bypass my wet effects and strike dead strings on the 1 of the first measure for every take (so they all lined up) and then basically turned everything back on and started the actual arrangement on like the fourth measure or whatever. It's a bit of a hassle but hitting the dead strings will show up on camera audio and your recorded audio as a clap sync, basically. *but* I would recommend, even if you are using headphones, to buy like the cheapest little monitor on amazon just to have *something* playing click/monitoring even at super low volumes for the camera to pick up.

Someday. I’ve heard good things.

That’s where the magic is. It’s a totally solid harmonic trem but man once you get that speed really slow and start fine tuning what frequencies drift back and forth it becomes something magical.

Watching the videos back to back, I think the answer is that if looking for stereo, harmonic TREMOLO textures, the Sunflower wins but if you want a modulated filter that can pretend to be a tremolo, the Delta II is the choice. I own neither at this point though I do own multiple Spaceman pedals.
