This video explores the Strymon Magneto. I briefly go over the controls and then experiment with sending different sources through it. I discuss some of its strengths and potential weaknesses.

Love it brother. I plan to bring back psychedelic guitar and ambient music together. 🎶

Super inspiring video, thanks. Magneto and Starlab got me started on the slippery slope on Eurorack recently 😂 I've not scratched the surface of what they can do yet but having great fun exploring. True, I could do all of this on my laptop, but there's just something about being hands on.... 😁

Thanks for watching and for the compliment. You’re totally right, there’s something about having hands on control that makes it sound and feel different for some reason. (Even if it’s just in our head)

Please make more Magneto videos. I’ve owned this module for a little while, but have not come close to getting out of it what it has to offer. Great to see what others are doing / have discovered. Great video. Thanks! 🙏

I probably will. I feel like I’m still learning about the loop and sample features. As soon as I get a better handle on them, I’d love to share. I think the biggest thing is just being willing to suck at it for a bit while figuring it out. Thanks for watching.

Great demo. I wanted this module, but you’ve just about persuaded me that I need it. I was briefly tempted by Intellijel’s Sealegs, but this looks not only deeper, but more wide-ranging in what it can do. Oh, and subbed too- you have some eclectic-looking content!

I love it so much. It’s so versatile. Thanks for watching!

Flipping brill! - ill never afford that module and your performances made me watch all the way to the end where you pointed out free/affordable alternatives. Showing the modules uniqueness gave me some ideas on how to build my own chain. Keeping it real - 5*

Thanks a lot ! I’m glad you were able to get some good ideas from it. If you solidify your chain, I’d love to hear what you come up with.

Nicely done, reminded me of a few features I keep forgetting that it has as I too often use it in "easy" mode as a ping-pong delay.

@amberelmmusic 8 ай бұрын

Ya. I’m still learning all of its secrets. Even using it as a ping pong though, awesome module. Thanks for watching.

Excellent concise videos. Thank you. I’m a big strymon fan and would love a magneto/starlab combo but have promised myself I won’t get into modular. I will make do with a dig/night sky combo instead

@amberelmmusic 8 ай бұрын

Haha. I fought modular for a while. A dig/night sky combo is pretty sweet set up though.

Still the best delay in Eurorack, that pitch mode/ping pong delay is 💋

@user-fi4yd2kf6g 8 ай бұрын

Wow, this is fabulous. Is this also offered as a pedal/box for us non-eurorack users?

@amberelmmusic 8 ай бұрын

Thanks! The closest non eurorack might be the el capistan pedal by Strymon. I’m not sure if it has a shift mode. The Volante is also a pretty similar pedal. I actually wanted to do a section in the video comparing it to the pedals because a buddy of mine has both of those…but I couldn’t get a hold of them in time. Maybe another time.

I use mine most in sample mode, often pitching/slowing down an octave for a real wonky old tape loop sound. It's odd your video ignores sample mode altogether. No mention at all. Or maybe I missed it, idk.
