Nice! Is your cousin Brady or Seth? They are just the sweetest people

@@thepedalzone Seth!

Let him know I want cheaper pedals. My wallet is gonna take a big hit soon.

@@Just.Bryan2 haha! Thank you for the support!

Hell yeah, agreed. So many pedal reviews are just: look how good I am at classic rock B uT wITh... E F F E C T S.

Easily the best pedal channel I’ve found

Do you use the v1 or 2? I’ve had the v1 since it came out and almost use it as a boost as well because of the dramatic volume jump. Wonder if you noticed that too? Also wonder if the newer ones have soft switch type thing. Love this pedal and your demos.

Jonathan Perez - I have a V2. There’s no volume jump. But if you want it you can boost it via the internal trim pot. And yes, V2 has soft-click switches

ThePedalZone I’ve got one and still learned a lot from this thanks

Do you know if this pedal was named after John Carpenter's debut feature film of the same name? I wonder what it would make a cover of "Benson Arizona" sound like!

Since you posted this video, I've been seeing a resurgence of them on reddit, facebook, and instagram posts Or maybe they were always there and I'm just now noticing because of you....

Yeah, it's my favorite sound in it as well ☺

That part reminds me of Terminator 2 Judgement Day's OST.

@@BlueAltitudes maybe that's why I liked it so much!

Bitcrush mode with a beefy Fuzz is epic as well - so epic. Valhalla epic.

@@bootlegnjack yeah I bet that's amazing!

Woohoooo!! Can’t wait to hear the tales of your interstellar sonic travels soon, my friend 😊🙌

Mine is arriving tomorrow too. And rewatching not for the first time. I'm a bit worried if I might not make it back from my interstellar sonic travels. Are you out there @wideskyguitars?

Have you had issues with hiss in the signal chain? that seems to be the main complaint on Reverb which is kinda putting me off taking the plunge

Happy you like it! Means a lot to me 🙏

Heeeey! Happy birthday, man. What an amazing gift. You're in for a beautiful ambient ride. Enjoy!

@@thepedalzone Thanks Stefan, it is a great pedal! Had fun making music with it.

We love electric guitar for the same reason. YAY! ❤

Thanks, man! You can never have too much reverb 😂😊 Dark Star in Crush Mode into Transmisser is one of my favorite combos

You thought having one job was enough to fuel your G.A.S.

Then there's Chase Bliss Dark World and Walrus Audio Slo... never have too many reverbs! My wallet hates me

Im watching this saying the same thing. I have the afterneath, avalanche, and astral destiny. But this thing is a whole different animal

That’s extremely kind of you. Thank you 🙏

Cheers, man! Really happy you liked the demo. Yeah, that dark cello-like setting is one of my faves. Completely transforms your instrument. It's amazing to drive that sound into some vibrato and airy reverb for further movement and dimension 😊

The black fountain is definitely underrated. I bought it on a whim, and was shocked that more people don't use it. It sits behind your signal so nicely.

What does the BF do vis-a-vis the Dark Star?

MAS MACHINA Black Fountain is an oil can delay; Dark Star is a pad reverb. Two different pedals.

Happy you discovered something new in the old 👌

Awwwwww, man! Thank you SO MUCH!

Awwww! Thank you! I'm humbled to hear that my videos are able to give you moments of zen ❤

@@thepedalzone your vids are awesome man! Keep up the good work🤘🏻

Awesome! Dark Star rules

Really happy you liked the demo. Dark Star is one of my absolute favorite pedals. Hope you get one soon

Amazing to hear. Happy I was able to deliver 😊

Same here. Happy you liked the demo. Means a lot 🙏

Oh, man! I'm deeply honored to hear that. Thank you so much for the kindness ❤

If I didn’t enjoy it, I wouldn’t be making them. It’s that simple 😊 I’m happy you find value in the videos though. Makes it even more enjoyable to keep making them

Wow! I’m beyond humbled. Thank you so much for the kind words. Made me smile from ear to ear ❤️❤️❤️

Gosh! Thank you so much

The Dark Star is a fierce sonic sorceress. She will devour your core tone, but project star-lit soundscapes and blankets of crackling aural embers in return. It's totally worth it. Love this pedal SO MUCH, and I'm happy to hear you do as well 😊🙌

Thank you so much for the kind words, my friend. Means a lot to me 🙏 Stoked you enjoyed the new format and the sounds. Yeah, I love that crackling lo-fi vibrato bend you can get in delay mode when tweaking the delay time. Just brings all the feelz 😊

Thanks, man! Yeah, I discovered that disintegrating drone sound by pure chance while recording a drone for a track I was working on with a friend. Suddenly the drone just started to fall apart and it was the coolest experience ever.

Happy to hear it surprised you in a positive way. It's a phenomenal pedal. One of my all time favorites

It’s just such a great pedal. One of my all-time faves

You’re making me excited as well!! Can’t wait to hear what you think of it. You’re always welcome to tag me on IG with stuff you make with it 😊 I’m humbled and honored that my little demo inspired you to pick up this incredibly inspiring device 🙏❤️

Congrats, man! This pedal is SO GOOD. An all-time fave of mine 😊🙌

@@thepedalzone Thanks man! I am sure it will become my favorite as well. Now to save up for the Enzo Meris you demo's. You had me sold on that immediately. I wonder how it would sound in a chain with Dark Star after it.

Thanks, man! Hope you get a Dark Star at some point again 😊

You’re too kind. Thanks for the motivating words. Truly made my day ❤️🙏

Happy you enjoyed the demo. Dark Star is an all time favorite pedal of mine. Contains so many amazing textures

Thanks a ton! ❤

Well, this pedal definitely never gets old. So I'm extremely honored and happy that you found my demo, and that it inspired you to pick up this incredible pedal. It's one of my all-time faves. You're in for a treat 😊

That's amazing to hear. I'm honored 🙏

Happy you enjoyed that bit 😊

Same here 😊

Oh wow! That’s amazing to hear. Really happy you liked the demo 🙏

Just so good! Happy to hear you dig it

Sorry to make your decision even harder 😊

I have the Afterneath V2 and it is my favorite pedal of all time. Seriously considering getting this next, but I recommend the Afterneath above all. Also, not that you need more to choose from, but in addition to the SLO, the Walrus Fathom is simply amazing!

Had a Slö and Afterneath and sold both, because I didn't like/ need them enough. The Fathom won't leave my board and I think I need a Dark Star now! :D

I’m happy that my video could create a zen zone for you to find peace of mind in ❤️

I’m “sorry” ❤️

Thanks!! Dark Star is hella cool!

Alpha Haunt and Dark Star are a match made in shoegaze heaven. You're in for a really fun time

Thank you so much! Happy to hear the video provided you with some new sounds to explore in this wonderful pedal 😊🙌

My pleasure, man! I’m stoked to hear you found new insight and inspiration in the video. There’s so many rad ways to use the Dark Star 😊

Awesome! It's always important to be able to find something new in the old 😊

ThePedalZone Indeed! That’s one of my weaknesses in a pedal lifecycle. I get them, I try to explore everything. Then I settle for my favourite/most usable settings and forget to revisit and explore for new inspiration.

DE7 is awesome. A true hidden gem

Thank you so much! Means a lot to me that you can see the stupid amount of hours I put into these videos 🙏❤

Awww. Thank, man! Really means a lot ❤️🙏 Yeah, feeding a long or infinite reverb from Dark Star into other pedals is one of my absolute favorite ways to use it 😊

Cheers! Happy to hear it was helpful to you

Cheers, man! Awesome to hear you found so many sounds usable in your own context. Have fun exploring 😊👌

Happy you dig it 😊

That's so cool to hear! This is just a wonderfully unique textural device. I'm sure you're gonna love it.

I’m honored to hear that, man. Just such a unique and inspiring ambient device 😊

Oh wow! Thank you so much. Super kind of you 🙏

Thanks! Dark Star is just amazing

Awwww, man! Thank you kindly ❤️🙏

They make amazing pedals!

Definitely. Really fun combo

Thanks! Not every day I get that kind of feedback. Happy you dig it ☺

ThePedalZone I’ve been watching this channel for years and it’s gets more perfect as time goes on. Much appreciated.

Thank you! That's incredibly kind of you to say ❤

Thank you very much! Now go use that Dark Star some more. It's KILLER! 😊

That’s awesome to hear 🙌

Definitely get the Dark Star. One of the most magical pedals ever made 💫🖤

Thanks, dude! Awesome to hear that my demo helped reveal some of the massive potential this pedal holds 😊

Cheers! Love the Dark Star so much!

you make me feel less crazy about running 4 reverbs aha

Dark Star into Transmisser is one of my favorite combos. Check out my old Halloween Tonal Teamwork from 2018 of you wanna hear them in action together. Brooding ambience galore 🖤

Thanks, bud! Happy you enjoyed it 😊🙏

Thank you kindly!

DUDE! Thank you so very much ❤️❤️

Thank you so much for the kind words, man! Yeah, this pedal is a true textural wormhole. So many sounds in this thing 😊

Thanks, man! That’s very kind of you 🙏

Stoked to hear you got one on the way 😊🙌

Thank you so very much! 🙏

Yup! That’s the magic maker right there 💫 🧙‍♂️

Thanks, man! The Dark Star is easy to love 🖤

Thank you!

That is a really valid point and something that is not talked about enough. Certain pedals really do "force" you to take on an entirely new approach to your instrument and playing style, and that's honestly what made me fall in love with pedals.

@@thepedalzone Indeed, Stefan!!! Thank you!

Happy you liked the demo 😊 It's such a rad pedal

RAD!

Dark Star is amazing. I didn’t pick it up after seeing it on Andy’s board though. I’ve owned a Dark Star for almost 4 years now. First the V1 and then I switched to the V2. It’s one of my all time favorite pedals, and I’ve been using it as a first in chain reverb for all of those years. It’s truly where it shines. But the interview I did with Andy showed me that a lot of people weren’t aware of the Dark Star and the importance of first in chain reverbs. So it did make me prioritize to make a demo of this beautiful pedal, so more people could discover its epicness. Honored to hear you find inspiration in the videos and that it translates to the way you experiment with your signal chain in real life 😊

Thanks, buddy! That's really kind of you to say. I don't own a Draume. So it's gonna be a tough demo to do 😊It looks interesting though.

@@thepedalzone Yeah, it's kind of challenging to get hands on one of Knut's pedals. The Draume is announced for restock end of January. You will not regret to get one ;-)

Happy to hear my demo was able to provide you with some new inspiration. Early chain reverbs are an amazing thing to have. Dark Star, Afterneath and Procession are my faves for the job

Definitely sounds like a cool combo!
