Azor sent me a fresh pile of affordable (and colorful) pedals so I dusted off the ol affod a board for a fresh video. Will there be more Afford-a-board in the future? Hopefully.

AFFORD-A-BOARD! You've been gone too long, my friend.

I’m so glad this series is back. Still holding out hope for the shoegaze Afford-A-Board.

@dylacious92 Жыл бұрын

Ryan's made one before. Just search for the video; it's a good one. If you mean you're hoping he'll come back to it, I kinda doubt it. I'm pretty sure there was another video where he said he didn't want to pursue making a ton of different genre specific boards.

@colinbanning9416 Жыл бұрын

How affordable are you looking? I just made one for myself, both a cheap version and a more mid version off Kijiji/Marketplace. Clean OD into Fuzz into Reverse Reverb is, like, your milk AND your honey. I would argue that if you need to eat a single bullet, you get Oceans 11/12 because they whole game hinges on how good your Reverb is. But Fuzz? Behringer, or Azor, or anything. I haven't heard a Donner fuzz, but I bet it'd do, cause Fuzz is impossible to screw up too badly. Clean OD, get like. The Joyo Taurus does the job well enough at a great price point. This delay that was demoed in this video is excellent for a cheap delay pedal, and again, Behringer is a $20 pedal that does the job. Any other modulation can come off of a cheap Line 6 multiFX board, as well as a little extra room reverb to add into the mix since you'll use the main reverb for reverse. TLDR: You could do it for very little, but your uses for it will be limited entirely by your main reverb pedal

@dylacious92 Ryan mentioned in the Sonicake Sonic Ambiance video that he might revisit the shoegaze Afford-A-Board. (I bought a Sonic Ambiance pedal after watching that video) @colinbranning9416 I have a pretty good all genres board right now (line 6 m5 filling in the gaps) but I send these videos with my band mates that don’t have quite as much gear that I have.

There is also a lot to be said, that there are NO bad pedals if you're using them all. Oh, this fuzz sounds weird and unlike another fuzz you've sound? Use that.

@mykhedelic6471 Жыл бұрын

Truly unprecedented 5th comment. To sum up, now that I've circled back: that delay produced some surprisingly Atari glitchiness goodness and needs to be issued with a twisty foot switch like a disc that can be manipulated hands free, Dog distortion can hump a leg, Cuvave is golden but Musiclily is rusted golden-- very tough call, Island is a great delay (but must go due to inavailability) and the White Tape was glorious until recently when something changed on it, that iSet Flanger is killer-- just simply delicious and just WORKS, octaver vote all day, everyday, all year. Return of Afford-a-Board gets a big vote. Afford-a-Board shirt for the rest of us.

Overdrive horse isn't even vaguely a centaur clone, regardless of what most youtube channels assume/say. I'll probably trace the circuit for fun, but it's only got one single opamp IC, has some leds for clipping. It's probably just a single gain stage with everything jammed together, tone, clipping, etc, and then I think more clipping on the way out.

@60CycleHumcast Жыл бұрын

I honestly had no idea and guessed on the graphic alone. Clearly based on the sound it’s not a klone.

@nwimpney Жыл бұрын

@@60CycleHumcast I've drawn out the schematic, and it appears to match the topology of the "Honey bee", which also explains the "Honey" and "Nature" labels. I'm also not sure if it's directly cloned, or cloned off of a derivative. I found a schematic for a clone which I've been comparing, and so far most of the resistor values match, including some not-super-common values, and it uses the same model of single op-amp, but a few resistor values are _way_ off, which might explain why it doesn't really seem to work in a way I'd expect. I'll look for some more schematics to compare, and probably swap some parts to see if it improves.

Ryan - glad to see the afford-a-board return. Thanks! Why don't people watch your videos longer than 10 min?? I wonder if it's because you spend more time than most channels noodling and messing around. I love that about your videos, but perhaps others don't...? I think most other channels have a repertoire of 30 second snippets of particular styles that they select from. You do that somewhat, but have a lot of fun in between. I feel like that's an integral part of your thing, so I'm not sure you should change it, but that's what I notice. Thanks again!!

It could be an Orange Burst, because the earlier light blue Azor with bass and treble didn't have the more scooped mids of a Pure Sky, but sounds more like a TS with bass and treble controls with boosted mids, which is what the Orange Burst is, being a BB Preamo clone, and that's what a BB is. We all assumed the light blue Azor was a Pure Sky/Timmy type, because of the color, but that's not what it sounds like, so this one could also be either of them.
