Grateful for your kind comments. Thank you, Alfred

I saw it too! They look like a floating spec of dust that caught the sunlight just right :-) Awesome effect.

Unfortunately when it’s time to go you can’t take your guitar with you so next best thing is to get spiritual with those on an earthly plane.

Thanks for watching, Keith!

@@AskZac Ask Zac and FWW are my two favourite channels and they communicate with each other. Go figure.

@@skinnykarlos710 I am proud to say Keith is my friend.

Thank you, Eddie. I loved hanging at Clawson’s, where they treated me like family. So glad to reconnect

Thank you, Chris

Cool

Thanks Dee

Please help spread the word, by sharing it where you can

Thank you, Cooper

You are welcome

Thank you!

Thank you

Thank you, Brent

Thank you, friend!

He actually used a similar sound from a Roland GP-16. But the VB2 sounds close

Brent Mason has said a few times in interviews that he tried putting a bigsby on his grey tele and mentions the exact same thing. Must be something about that, I've actually heard people say it more than once.

Love Adam's work

Great sound

We were safe. Thanks for asking.

Thanks!

Thank you for subscribing. Yes, I feel the changed wiring really opens up the neck pickup. Yes, a tremolo pedal video would be fun.

Also, I bought 2 VB-2w’s because I never wanted to be without one. And I totally use it as my “foot-operated Bigsby.” They’re also really nice to use with an expression pedal.

Thank you, Mark

You are welcome

Love it!

Thanks Tom!

The VB-2 has some magic. Would love to hear a Magnatone.

The Chorus and Vibrato settings on the CE-1 are both actually chorus sounds so your commentary on LFO shapes doesn't make sense there

@@adamnesbitt11 Actually, it's the reverse. "Chorus" consists of pitch-wobble combined with clean "unwobbled" signal, mimicking what happens when 2 or more people try to sing the same notes in synchrony, and vibrato simply leaves the clean out The thing is that when there is clean signal going head-to-head with the time-modulated signal, triangular shape works just fine. When there is *only* time-modulated signal, one's attention is directed more strongly to the shape of the sweep, and sinusoidal sweep - where the "turnaround" at the two extremes of sweep is subtler - makes for a more relaxed and musical sound. Optimal sweep shape is also connected to sweep speed. As mentioned in the initial post, vibrato has to modulate faster than chorus to be perceptible AS vibrato. One can easily convert any chorus, flanger, or phaser to produce vibrato, by simply lifting the resistor that mixes in dry/clean signal. BUT, only a small fraction of the speed control becomes usable at that point. One of the elements that has differentiated great flangers from ho-hum ones is the shape of the sweep. Forty years back, a number of designers/writers touted the virtues of a "hypertriangular" sweep. This is a sweep shape that is triangular as it approaches the "top" of the sweep, but becomes sinusoidal as it sweeps toward the "bottom". This has the virtue of accentuating small movement/change when the comb filtering moves through the range of fundamental frequencies and low-order harmonics, and quickly passing through the range where only the highest harmonics reside. Such a sweep is a big part of what made the Electric Mistress such a popular flanger. BUT, as great as it sounds with very slow sweeps, it's terrible when the sweeps are fast. I've built a number of clones of the old black Ross Phaser. It is essentially a clone of the first EHX Small Stone. *That* pedal's "color" switch selected between hypertriangular LFO for slow sweeps, and triangular for faster ones. The Ross clone only has hypertriangular. While it sounds great at long slow resonant sweeps, turn the speed up and it's really jarring and unpleasant. I recently modded one of my Ross clones to produce ONLY triangular sweep, and found it far more usable across the entire speed range, if somewhat less majestic-sounding at the slowest speeds. This is the long way of saying that the virtue and "musicality" of the *shape* of the LFO sweep covaries with speed. Boss wisely chose to soften the sweep shape of the LFO for vibrato, since it relies on faster speeds than chorus. And yes, I am a well-trained psychologist with a strong background in cognition, and had the privilege of being taught by the godfather of "auditory scene analysis", the late great Al Bregman.

@@markhammer643 In your eagerness to display your knowledge you've missed my point entirely. Both the 'chorus' and 'vibrato' modes of the CE-1 are a blend of dry signal and vibrato, therefore they're both chorus sounds and not true vibrato. The only way to get an actual vibrato out of that pedal is by inserting a dummy jack into one of the stereo outputs to trick it into sending the dry signal through your dummy jack, leaving you with just the wet vibrato signal. Edit: congratulations on your prowess in the field of psychology though, I guess?

@@adamnesbitt11 *Available* due to the two jacks, but not *blended* . There's a difference. What exactly do you think vibrato consists of, if not ONLY pitch modulated signal? The VB-2 provides no path for clean signal when the effect is engaged.

THANKS!!!!

Agreed, nice sound

Thank you, Scott!!

I want to check out that pedal too.

@@AskZac I love it. I don't know what I was waiting for! And having the vibrato too is a cool bonus.

Thinking about merch

Great pedal!

I am using the Waza in the video

Dave Burgess great idea

The VB-2 is different. Chorus has dry signal in it, Vibrato does not.

yes

I remember!! Very cool

My email is zac (at) askzac.com

Ask Zac Thank you so much.

Agreed this is quality stuff. Been a True Tone Lounge fan for years!

Great idea!

Yes, Tremolo and vibrato are different

The Mayer pedal does a lot more.

Great question! Tremolo is fluctuation in volume. Like the Tremolo on a BF Fender amp. Vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch.

Yes. Maybe it will be in a future episode...

I'll look into it. I stupidly sold my original DC-2 and DC-3

You might want to look at some of the live Phil Keaggy acoustic videos that are in stereo. He's been using a Dimension C in his rig for at least a decade, maybe two. He basically just exaggerates the stereo spread with it.

@@wildbillhackett I love Phil's work. Seen him use the DC-2 live.

I have the Waza Chorus and Waza Dimension C with the Waza delay on the short list. Looks like the Waza vibrato just got added to the list!

@@AskZac You really had to see him back in the 70's. He had no peer back then.

Buddy, I want one too!

Yep

Double dog dare?

Thank you, Roy.

Not. Great to have both.

Cool

Cool!!!

Great idea

yes

Agreed

It sounds like you are more geared up for that than me. Tell me when you get your channel going.

@@AskZac will do man.

I just watched it. He used it on one amp, so he used it like a chorus. Great sounds!!!

It has tremolo

@@AskZac Thank you, I am an idiot. I blame Fender's erroneous name for their vibrato arms for my confusion!

@@seanylewl They caused the problem. I am with you!

The blackface amps have tremolo, volume fluctuation, not vibrato, pitch fluctuation. I do love the tremolo in my Deluxe. But in this video, I am addressing vibrato, not tremolo. Sorry for the confusion that Fender created by calling their vibrato arm a tremolo, and the tremolo in their blackface amps, vibrato. Fender created the confusion.

Yes it is. I should have mentioned it

and... looks like it might have been reworked and added to the TC Electronic range. All of their "affordable" range were reworked Behringers, so the tailspin vibrato is probably the behringer circuit with reduced to a simpler unit. AFAIK Behringer only have the one vibrato pedal.

The new one, like I am using in the vid, is around $200

Aren't they the literal same circuit? I have a Behringer and it sounds great, but I thought it was a 1:1 copy of the Boss.

That happens in real life.

Similar

You are very lucky!!!!. The hiss is why there is the second mode called "bypass." It mentions it in the original manual.

Ask Zac 🤷🏻‍♂️

Be blessed

KILLER PRICE!!!

Yes

I would love to chat with him, and would be happy to hear his thoughts on the Bigsby

@@AskZac I’d love to hear that chat! It seems to be his go-to bridge now, but I don’t see him touch it very often. Definitely interesting.

Great vibrato pedal!

Are you the devil?

@@AskZac Not as far as you know!

@Ask Zac Love these episodes by the way!

@@guitarkirby Thank you!

I watched one of your videos.
