When I was a kid my dad and my uncle built harpsichords over my grandparents grocery store. The back room had an organ, a grand piano, and several harpsichords and clavichords. I was always messing around, sticking my hand inside and strumming the strings, holding the sustain pedal down and yelling into it, etc. Then a friend of mine got an Alesis Quadraverb that had resonators on it. There was a bank of 5 and they had really weird polyphony - every time you played a midi note it would change the pitch of the next resonator in the cycle. But you could also retune each resonator to a different transposing. We made music by running drum sounds or guitar feedback through it. It was so much fun! Later I tried getting a similar effect in Supercollider. And I found out that having more than a handful of resonators will totally tank the CPU. I love that there's a pedal that's up to the task! (although it's possible that the real problem was the matrix mixer that connected every resonator to every other one, like a teeny tiny neural net)

The way I yelled "It's MORPHIN TIME" on reflex before it happened in the video. At least I'm not the only one wired that way.

I don't know anything about making music and I just stumbled on this channel. I feel like I just entered a different world. I had no idea pedals existed, I just assumed most distortion is done in a computer. That is so cool.

this is quickly becoming my favorite pedal review channel. Please keep doing more in person interviews. This really do be lit.

John's Metal Zone drip is *ON POINT* 🤘

I ❤️ when you do the longer form videos and I can hear you actually play for while, and see everything the pedal does. This was really especially lovely today. Thank you so much harp hippie.

"Prismatic Wall" is also a 9th level D&D wizard's spell. "A shimmering, multicolored plane of light forms a vertical opaque wall--up to 90 feet long, 30 feet high, and 1 inch thick--centered on a point you can see within range. Alternatively, you can shape the wall into a sphere up to 30 feet in diameter centered on a point you choose within range. The wall remains in place for the duration. If you position the wall so that it passes through a space occupied by a creature, the spell fails, and your action and the spell slot are wasted. The wall sheds bright light out to a range of 100 feet and dim light for an additional 100 feet. You and creatures you designate at the time you cast the spell can pass through and remain near the wall without harm. If another creature that can see the wall moves to within 20 feet of it or starts its turn there, the creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become blinded for 1 minute. The wall consists of seven layers, each with a different color. When a creature attempts to reach into or pass through the wall, it does so one layer at a time through all the wall's layers. As it passes or reaches through each layer, the creature must make a Dexterity saving throw or be affected by that layer's properties as described below. The wall can be destroyed, also one layer at a time, in order from red to violet, by means specific to each layer. Once a layer is destroyed, it remains so for the duration of the spell. Antimagic field has no effect on the wall, and dispel magic can affect only the violet layer. 1. Red. The creature takes 10d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. While this layer is in place, nonmagical ranged attacks can't pass through the wall. The layer can be destroyed by dealing at least 25 cold damage to it. 2. Orange. The creature takes 10d6 acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. While this layer is in place, magical ranged attacks can't pass through the wall. The layer is destroyed by a strong wind. 3. Yellow. The creature takes 10d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This layer can be destroyed by dealing at least 60 force damage to it. 4. Green. The creature takes 10d6 poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A passwall spell, or another spell of equal or greater level that can open a portal on a solid surface, destroys this layer. 5. Blue. The creature takes 10d6 cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This layer can be destroyed by dealing at least 25 fire damage to it. 6. Indigo. On a failed save, the creature is restrained. It must then make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If it successfully saves three times, the spell ends. If it fails its save three times, it permanently turns to stone and is subjected to the petrified condition. The successes and failures don't need to be consecutive; keep track of both until the creature collects three of a kind. While this layer is in place, spells can't be cast through the wall. The layer is destroyed by bright light shed by a daylight spell or a similar spell of equal or higher level. 7. Violet. On a failed save, the creature is blinded. It must then make a Wisdom saving throw at the start of your next turn. A successful save ends the blindness. If it fails that save, the creature is transported to another plane of the GM's choosing and is no longer blinded. (Typically, a creature that is on a plane that isn't its home plane is banished home, while other creatures are usually cast into the Astral or Ethereal planes.) This layer is destroyed by a dispel magic spell or a similar spell of equal or higher level that can end spells and magical effects."

A friend builds custom harp guitars. One of the things I love about them, is how the harp strings resonate as you play the guitar section, creating harmonically-related reverberations. Truly angelic sounds….

Thanks harp mom

i love that he is wearing a metal zone. that bit using a piano as amp is AWESOME

Adored the little ditty you played at 2.30. sounded really good with this effect too. It may well be my favourite of anything I have heard you play on this channel.

For those of you who do Eurorack, of course you know that Rings popularized the idea of the resonator half of physical modeling as an effect. But it didn’t have midi in to gain control over which bands were open or closed. The closest thing I think would be TiNRS Bopp & Steve which isn’t out yet. So, yeah, good job to Mr Snyder for bringing this stuff to the pedal world! It’s a super cool idea more people should try.

dude, ok, hear me out ... pretzel. shaped. harp.

The harp really is the best for showing off these pedals. Thank you!

Again such a beautiful demo! Always fun watching!

"John the Resonator" is one of the best Depeche Mode songs

I totally love this. No better instrument to demo this pedal than the harp.

I really love hearing your harp do that chorusing sound via the Prismatic Wall. It was a beautiful and made me smile.

Note triggering the Prismatic Wall is wicked and the low res sounds are so choice!

Jesse and John should do a Prismatic EUNA and just call it a day. Also, thanks Harp Lady

Accurate description 🤷‍♂️ Neat pedal - thanks for the review 😎🍷

This was an awesome video! Totally have to try prismatic wall!

That jam with the bit crusher was especially cool! What an incredible device!

EAE rules. There are so many amazing pedal makers in Massachusetts 🥲

I love the name of this channel: "Harp Lady"

This is SO interesting and sounds SO GOOD!

Hope you, Russ and all your fuzzy friends are safe and happy!

Thanks for the video! Need this for my harp.

Really like the sound, I am thinking now about getting one for my sax and synth

OK the information on this pedal about my favorite guitar effect was even better than EAEs video manual! I use Mutable Insdtruments Rings and the Dreadbox Antidote (you presented briefely) on my pedalboard coupled to a Eurorack box, for this effect but my problem is I can't microtonally tune Rings resonant harmonics. WITH THIS it seems I can! AND use my foot for further expressions. A MUST for me. Thank You Emily and Ross!!!

Harp lady channel is the best. Thank you for covering this! I’m a huge fan of EAE.

I want this now thank you again!

Can't go wrong with a good pretzel

Very cool!

Oooh, plus a nerdy reference. Love a nerdy reference on a music tool.

Strategically placed Pile poster

God I love your videos so much.

The bit at 7:40 is a vibe

Oh wow, you should release that last piece you played as a stand-alone track or something. I could listen to it all day 😍 and with that ramping between low and higher frequencies... cherry on top! So beautiful! 🙌 You can even call it "Trippin' on Morphin"

Absolutely gorgeous, gonna have to get one immediately.......once i can afford one😭🖤

The yap in this viddi is taking every W no cap

Has an ethereal sound. Aphex Twins would have luved it.

Nice one, so versatile ...

Not my cup of tea but I'm glad I found this channel

John! Harp Lady used words I understand!

🤩 BEAUTIFUL

John is a freaking genius..

That warbly action at like 2:50 is incredible

Love those Moog-style knobs. Might need to grab this!

Hitting the Prismatic Backwalls

Sounds awesome. I love EAE. the fact that it’s not stereo is a heartbreaker.

I like to think that all the instruments in the studio are singing along

OMG! A sympathetic vibration pedal is so cool. I want to mess around with it!

I would be motivated to obtain a PRISMATIC WALL pedal if it was stereo so that I could use it on both channels of my Korg KRONOS 2-88 keyboard!

a five-sided octagon is my spirit animal, just sayin.

Eyyy I'm morphin heeah 😂😂 never change, Emily

That is an amazing sounding pedal! Great video as well! Just a question though, I’m thinking of getting into pedals for my electric guitar, so how should I start? Would it be something like just collecting pedals I think sound cool (like this one), or are there certain effect pedals I should make sure to get in order to get my basics down first?

Her accent when she says it could be a turtle is pure Walt Whitman, the mall, not the poet

Yesssss more awesome pedals from Pedal Gir- ERRR-HARPLADY- I said Harp Lady.

Are the melodies you play in the demos from your music? If so, I gotta hear more! I could listen to this stuff all day. So incredibly relaxing. Especially with the cool effects from the prismatic wall. Feels very cinematic.

im so glad i clicked on this while i was high

This is really cool. Someone needs to make a plug in version

I was in a folk music shop some time back. Someone was trying a banjo and I heard her exclaim... "How come this banjo has reverb?!". I pointed out the herd of harps behind her... 😂 Sounded cool though!

Does anyone know what the tailpiece is on the Jazzmaster behind them during the interview portion of the video?

It's almost built for harp by gods it's great!

That sweet sweet warble!!!

What is the warbly song your playing around 2:50

UNlce Em as a power ranger is now the only image I have in my head and probably will do for some time.

How do we get an exciter, can you do a longer video about that?

Sounds like it'd be great for video game soundtracks

Sort of like an easy-mode MI Rings in a pedal. Neat! (Not claiming it's a clone/port...just to be clear! 😆)

You make every pedal seem as if they had the harp in mind while designing.

That is one smaart morph ya got der Haarp Lady. 😊

Hey! I’m morph’n here! ❤

Prismatic WOAH

We need a “chesty harp lady eating pretzels asmr” ft. Prismatic Wall

Please keep making videos

can't wait until some noise artist gets their hands on this beauty, and we won't even realize it until grainy live show footage shows that this is part of their pedalboard

That looks like a fun one.. also what is that midi controller your using? 👀

0:30 The low frequency reverberation tone kind of reminds me of a bass-tone from some of the 80-90's ballads like the bass-line in "Berlin - Take My Breath Away".

Does anyone know what exciter he is using and anything else in the chain to achieve this?

Guitarists (and presumably bassers) have been able to get a natural reverb for years AND YOU CAN TOO! Sit on your sofa, and rest your instrument on the backrest of the sofa. The vibrations will travel through the wood to the springs in your sofa (if it has any), and you'll get the naturally amplified reverberations, it can make practicing at home feel like a whole different environment than we're expecting.

I am literally

Badass

imagining doing the exciter thing on a big room full of harps

I dont say this often but im buying this soon for sure 👍

mewithoutYou album cover spotted. Instantly subscribed.

I kno u r a really small channel, but I think you have such great potential! 50k subs by 2025, LETS GOOOO!!!!11!!1!oneone

It definitely sounds like a 9th level abjuration spell.

A Eurorack version of this with CV control over all the er.. controls.. would sell like hotcakes

Emo Link vibes at 7:38 👌

this looks so interesting, too bad i forget my headphones like everyday, i want those chain things so i can wear my pedals, would be cool for making fun pictures

But really, whats Uncle Em think about stocking these in his store? Was going to come down to catch a deal or two this weekend

I got octagon glasses a while ago. The first time my parents saw them, they said "cool hexagon glasses!!!"

I just want to hang out with the Harp Lady all the time and experiment with sounds

I could listen to you play that song at 2:29 for hours on end

NOT THE FIRST POST, BOO YAA!!!

whats up with the crazy tailpiece on that jazzmaster

thats rad harp lady thanks for sharin

if you like this you should check out the lastgasp audio labs misty cave. it's a resonator with an echo and an exp jack. it's neat.
