Hard to chose as everything sounds gorgeous and you play so well so my heart can't chose. But my brain was particularly fascinated by what you did with only three notes. This as not only do you show how a pedalboard is close to eurorack, but that, as some of your pedals really are synthesisers, this is not only close to but actually is modular. And what you do here is also much in the same spirit as eurorack as we often start with something simple like a sawtooth wave and then through a chain of modules make melodies and rhythms that sounds like a big orchestra or a sweet ambient soundscape. Only thing missing really, from being eurorack is the multi coloured spaghetti. Being into eurorack myself I got one, and want several more send and return modules in my rack because even though I can't modulate pedals with cv as easily and much as you can with effects modules, pedals are often better and usually cheaper than their equivalent counterparts in modules. Two pedals I thin I remember seeing in your videos and will get at some point and that makes a pedalboard even more modular is Old Blood Noise Signal Blender and the Expression slider. Yes I hope to see a pedalboard band one day without any guitar or other instruments. Just using some noise and feedback from the circuits or mixer to start building up stuff, and then sending sounds back and forth between the boards for further mangeling and evolution of melodies and beats. On a final note, This guy who also demo pedals need more attention I think. He does not explain much but his melodies are usually really good and sweet: Ambient Endeavours kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ha5kgrZiuq-unqM.html&ab_channel=AmbientEndeavors

because of you i do love meris pedals ... can't recall i ever saw/heard a microcosm ... that has a lot of potential as well ... i never liked fuzz and i still don't ;) thank you stefan

I love everything you do, Stefan. My favourite part was anything with Microcosm in it, as well as the Hedra. By the way, what's your take on virtual pedalboard stompboxes like the Mod Duo X? I love so many standalone effects, but the fact that you can get get an endless rig for the price of just two expensive stompboxes is amazing, I think. What's your opinion? As always, thanks for the amazing content!

Stephan, love this video and the sounds. I commented and asked above, but I really wanted to know what module you used in this video in the Jackson Audio Fuzz?

I never cease to be amazed at how you make a guitar much more than just a guitar, through the judicious use and the right combination of pedals. Synth territory, for sure. I always look forward to your next video.

Agreed 110%

I'm just happy he doesn't play blues licks

stefan is awesome! best pedal channel ever!

What about knobs?

This is probably one of the best comments I've ever received. Vangelis as a Post-Rock guitarist. Yes please!! THANK YOU ❤

Enzo is life! :)

You are beyond kind, good sir. THANK YOU! ❤

@@thepedalzone He is right, Stefan. I and many others would gladly buy an album of yours, without hesitation.

Yeah, it's such a sonic dream team. Happy you enjoyed it!

Awwww! Cheers, bud. Really happy you liked it, and great that it could be the soundtrack to your morning coffee ☺

Sure is! Happy you liked it 😊

I was on my way to comment the exact same thing. Awesome!

Those Enzo swells are amazing!

Agreed. I have the Polymoon and the Mercury 7 (and absolutely love them), but need the Enzo and the Hedra (and the Microcosm) in my life.

Gosh! Thank you so much ❤️

Really kind of you! Thank you 🙏

Oh boy! Thank you so much. Your kindness warms my heart ❤

Sweet! Let's hang and jam!

No idea if it'll ever happen. I feel more than content with using my creativity for these videos. I'm honored you would want to listen though, if a solo album existed

@@thepedalzone Booo!!!! Do it! You inspire the creators, it would be well received First track: "I hope you think this picture smells great" lol

@@thepedalzone Just marry the 2 - just take all those beautiful demos and edit them into 20 min blocks. I'd totally zone out to a playlist like that

Also awaiting something you put out! Between your playing and sound creation, I'd have a new favorite artist 🍻

Tienes calidad de sobra!

Buddy! THANK YOU!

Oh wow! Thank you so much! Honored to hear that my videos are able to provide you with moments of zen 😊🙏

Oh boy! Thank you so much for your kind words. Goes straight to heart

Thank you! Very kind of you to say 🙏

Thank you SO MUCH, Eric ❤

Awwwww! Thank you. Truly warms my heart ❤

Thank you for watching and commenting. Your kindness made my day ❤

Thank you so much! Definitely had a blast making this video ❤

Rad! I love that show so much!

Thank you!!

Awwwwww ❤

Cheers! Enzo is a wonderful synth machine

Thank you!

You are so welcome! Just makes me happy to hear you find the videos helpful and inspiring. Makes it all worth it 🙏

Cheers! Yeah, it's fairly compact, but it's some insanely powerful machines that are on there 😊

Thanks! Really happy you liked it

Awww! Thanks!

It's just like learning an instrument. The more time you spend, the more effort you put in, the more comfortable you get with it, and are able to produce the sounds you want when you want. So yeah, if you're new to these effects, then it would definitely be a very complex user experience for sure. I feel very comfortable using these effects though, and know what it takes to get what I want from them. I'm really happy you enjoyed the tones. Means a lot to me 😊

@@thepedalzone Actually yes, I am kinda new to the pedal world, I myself own a Eventide Space and it feel it so complex that it become so overwhelming. Watching you play and pull out sounds, its motivating. Just a quick shout out, thanks to you I bought the Visitor from OBNE. Loved the sound you pull from it.

Wow, thank you! Really means a lot. Help making a soundtrack for a game would be a dream come true 😊

Happy to hear you enjoyed that one. Always fun to go ham with fuzz and pitch-shifting :)

A wild and wondrous pitch-shifting combo for sure

So sweet of you. Thank you ❤

Awwww! Thank you so much for the ultra kind words 🙏

Thank you very much! I'm really happy with how these sounds turned out as well.

Yup. Once you go stereo, it's hard to go back 😊

Honored to hear that I was actually able to supply you with some new Meris inspiration. The way you use these pedals always blow my tiny mind to bits. Keep on being awesome, my friend!

@@thepedalzone that means a lot coming from you man! keep these sounds coming please and thank you!

Yeah! The Hydra is super cool in stereo 😊

Hey, thanks! Means a lot to me ❤

Ha! Thank you so much, man! Always reaching for those sky-high interstellar tones 😊

Thank you so much for the kind words! And also thank you for the constructive feedback. Love it when people take time to listen deep and throw me some insight. And yes, I'm aware of that clipping. It was something that started to happen after an Adobe Premiere update. It must have made a change to some of the plugins I use there, how they sound and react. But I do believe I've alleviated the issue since then. The last video I remember that had the slight clipping issue was the Boss SY-200 demo. It annoyed me so much, but it took a while before I figured out what was causing the problem. Hope you feel like the problem isn't as prevalent in more recent videos. Otherwise let me know. Cheers!

@@thepedalzone thank you! Oh, I figured it was from somewhere else in your signal chain. Sure, I'm so sensitive to digital clipping so I'll definitely let you know if there is any in your new videos! 😁 btw, can you please make a video on getting great sounds with post rock tremolo picking? I'm so frustrated by it cause I can't get it with right. Either it's muddy or it doesn't have any bite... I'm using cascading delays, reverbs, before and after amp etc etc but it never gets to the point I want it. Thanks again for your lovely videos!

Thank you so much! Really means a lot to me 🙏

Cheers, man!

Thanks, buddy! Means a lot 🙏 Enzo is just such a glorious machine. I've had it since the day it hit the market (actually a bit before, since I got an early demo unit), and still I feel like every day with it is fresh and new. There's just so much stuff to explore in it. It's one of the few pedals where I actually feel you get access to actual new instruments through it. It's like getting at least 4 new instruments when you place that golden wonder on your board 😊

Thank you so much 😀

Pedals are indeed fun. Meris pedals are just super fun

Thanks a ton!

Thaaaaaanks! 😊

Thank you so much! Really honored to hear you find the videos helpful in your journey into new music genres 😊

Very very kind of you. Thank you. Means a lot to me that you enjoyed the sounds so much ❤

@@thepedalzone It's more than that, my friend. It's the harmonic structure and the melodic content, combined with the sounds that make it so beautiful. Tasteful note choices (phrasing). The carefully constructed interplay between one effect and the next. I quickly forget that I'm listening to a guitar and feel as if I'm being taken on an incredible journey - a journey I don't want to end. THAT is what your compositions do, and that is why so many people would gladly purchase an album of yours, without hesitation. Anyone can string a bunch of effects together and make sounds with them; but the way you build layers and tell a story with them and your playing is what moves people so much. I don't know how to better describe it. I hope I did a better job of it, this time lol. Thank you for sharing these gems with us, brother. Appreciated, beyond words.

Thank you! Definitely want to make more Pedalboard videos

Cheers! Yeah, they are amazing. Picked the shirt up when they played in Denmark. One of the best concerts I've ever been to in my entire life.

Haha! Thank you. I made sure to use the Deodorant plugin in Adobe Premiere 😂❤

Happy you enjoyed the sounds. The Jackson Audio FUZZ is killer!
