N64 effects pedals that work like game cartridges
Рет қаралды 84,813
Күн бұрынI got a box of Console Pedals! These Console Pedals are effects pedals in Nintendo 64 cartridges, and are a cable-less method of swapping effects while you play! The 3D printed console can play two effects at once, and is battery-powered so you never have to worry about a power supply.
Thank you so much to Thomas McDonagh at Console Pedals for sending me these pedals!*
⤑ Check 'em out at: consolepedals.com/
TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 - 02:20 - Unboxing & overview
02:21 - 03:52 - Swapping Delay, Phaser, and Tremolo without cables
03:53 - 04:35 - Monophonic bit-crusher
04:36 - 05:39 - Legend of FUZZ & Doom Distortion
Curious about how I use effects pedals with my harp?

Line 6 did this with their single pedals around year 2000, like the echo park, basically you have a common chassis and footswitch but the effects, control and tone knobs were built like a cartridge that you could swap out, very similar to this configuration..

@@emilyharpist whoever made this was definitely inspired by Devi Ever. That legend of fuzz graphic was first used on one of her pedals. Very video game like sounds came out of that pedal. Devi conceived the Devi Ever "Console". Came up with a design schematic and a Kickstarter. Had a bunch of independent pedal makers working with her to make cartridge pcbs. She ended up spending the $40,000 she raised and running off into the sunset. Cool idea I'm glad to see someone finally put it all together. The main difference is where the "console" had an Atari aesthetic whereas this is an N64 / GameCube aesthetic.

It makes you think, in an alternate history where the N64 had a sound chip or different processing of audio it might've been possible to use one as an effects unit/guitar pedal.

Me: Oh, a box cutter, this should be fine. Emily: *goes galaxy brained and develops an all new box cutter technique for maximum danger* As someone who grew up with the N64 and GBA (my controller was Atomic Purple) this is delightful, and puts the pedal obsession in context. Also these sound really really good, I was not expecting this quality and versatility; these aren't just clones (to my ears, or maybe you're just using unusual settings). All play really well together, I think. Delay was my favorite because of course it is. Love the resting finger sound on the distortion/fuzz carts, it's almost ASMR inducing. Thank you for another lovely video of a rather quaint product. (Internet will not be guaranteed this week, so I might not make any livestreams; hopefully won't be the case)

Haha that Zelda reveal was sweet. Also that's a doomy fuzz, never realised Link was a metalhead When the distortion was going you could really hear the contact with the harp strings, I don't think I've noticed that before! That's a cool way to make ambient stuff with a guitar and some kind of looper, little squeaks and scrapes (gain helps bring em out) that build up into an abstract piece, a few notes sprinkled here and there if you like... if you haven't done that before give it a go, it's fun!

as an effects fiend and an N64 fan, this whole thing just warms my heart 😁 I just noticed, when you adjusted the knob on the delay cart, it responded like an analog delay. I have the MXR Carbon Copy delay and a Boss ME50-B bass multi-effects unit (including digital delay), and being able to warp sounds just by adjusting the knobs is super fun! but the digital delay makes all these strange chopping noises (think of the "Why the long face" song from the last episode of BoJack Horseman), which is a neat sound in its own way, but I prefer the more subtle gradual shift on an analog delay, like you're messing with the pitch control of a record player by gradually speeding up or slowing down the platter. whoever put this together knows their stuff

Also, I didn't even know you could GET double-bladed box cutters. Poor Russ didn't see that one coming.
