Josquin's motet Ave Maria recorded on 4 electric guitars using a DIY sustainer circuit to make the strings sustain infinitely. Each part was played on 1 string using 1 finger. Get your own at metalmarshmallow.com/product.php?product_id=31 Obviously playing it with one finger was rather tricky and I couldn't do it in one take.

Metal Marshmallow Pro vs MMII Contact Mic Comparison
The neighbor A/C plot twist!!! Very helpful and interesting video thank you!
Though I like your objectification, I am missing the sound comparison here, like in the previous test. That's what couns in the end, isn't it?
very well made and informative video
Booyakasha
wow 24 bucks for that?? this guy is shameless
I sell them at cost, actually. I don't make any profit on these.
Do you have a version that takes a 9 volt battery?
Hi, Great informative video. I am interested in buying the DIY kit but wondering if we could use a plastic box instead of metal to eliminate the need to ground the box? will that affect output?
Hi, the box needs to be grounded metal to prevent the mic from picking up electromagnetic radiation and humming at 50 or 60 Hz. you could use a plastic box but you would have to line it with metal foil or conductive paint and ground that to prevent hum.
4 years ago I harvested my own Rochelle Salt using basic chimestry... seeing your video excite me because I now understand I forgot to add a 3rd pin for ground... Back to the lab!!
Do you know the lengths of the wire that were used to make each inductor.
You could also let the signal run through a bypassed pedal first and second into the desired effect. Almost all efx are buffered. :)
try a jhs color box
Nice. Just received my order! Thanks
option 4: DIY. take a phantom power mic preamp circuit, a psu filter, and a reamp circuit (or just an op amp with fixed -20dB gain if you're not feeling fancy), and put them in a box together. ideally one of the funny little octagonal ones that come with free chocolates. re: pedals and reamp boxes: any guitar pedal that's using any kind of high impedance buffer (op amp, BJT emiter follower, JFET gate follower, whatever) will not really notice a reamp box. a circuit that "interacts" with the circuit it sees at the input such as a passive wah pedal or some tube amps will notice the difference since they expect to see not just a certain impedance, but also the inductance and capacitance of a real guitar pickup.
Ah, yeah, that is true, I didn't think about that.
I just like this kind of nerdiness! Go on please! 😊
Slightly related - when my own marshmallow pro arrives I'm gonna see how it sounds on a bass guitar body :)
I think you’re awesome 🙌 Just ordered after enjoying your videos for a while now - thank you for your effort and energy 🙏
Thanks!
I made you a hat just like mine: metalmarshmallow.com/product.php?product_id=34
Fantastic
Very cool! A right corker indeed. 😂
This is really cool! Have you used different types, strengths, or a combination of both variations of magnet in the design? If so, what were the results?
Thanks so much for this, is it possible to build this into the guitar?
Nice tip! I going to use!😅
I ordered one to México! Love It !
Love this! Did you get hassled by security at all? I find so often when I'm trying to sample something in a public place that some petty tyrant with a rent-a-badge assumes I'm a terrorist and shoos me away.
Luckily I did this very early in the morning mostly while standing on the public sidewalk. I went back in the evening to get more footage of the sculpture and a rent-a-cop showed up out of nowhere but to be fair I was lying in the fountain with my bike and a camera. I still got my footage though
@@metalmarshmallowllc LOL! That would do it!
I still have no marshmallow mic.... But it inspired me to the same with my OKM2 this morning..... Great sampling.😂
Go Krzyzaniak… go Krzyzaniak!
You're awesome!
You can download the bollard samples for free on my blog metalmarshmallow.com/blog_post.php?id=14
Based in the required voltage I assume this should work with plug-in microphone power?
Cool idea! Btw the IRs link has no IRs to download 😅
I'm an idiot, I never made it public, I just fixed it!
I made my own preamp with the MM kit, and can confirm that it's the same with my homemade piezo mic's. Turning the potentiometer down and the recording volume up solves the problem. I actually have up to 4 piezos connected to the same preamp.
Thank yuo boa eltroni guita !!!!!!!❤
I wish this were still what the Internet is.
this is amazing! i would be so curious also to compare your preamp to the "hi z" input on your interface.
Cool idea but the reverb sounds kind of muddy / boomy. First thing I would try is placing your driver and contact mic a bit differently maybe try avoiding the middle of the washer and keep both more towards an edge or corner rather than center. Next I'd try eq on the reverb. Try eq'ing the send and/or the return to and from your washer. Low cut and even cutting up to 200 or 300hz will probably help things. Also boosting high mids and highs I would think may produce interesting results.
epic video B)
I'll point out a few issues with doing it this way and a couple of solutions. First is there is a boxy frequency range thats present when using painted surfaces. Enamel and other paint acts like a dampener on very low and high midrange upwards. Second if its a piezo doing the picking-up then they have a hard scoop in the low midrange. The solution to this is to cut the boxy frequencies and boost the low midrange and highs until the sound feels right. Another solution is to find a really nice, big bit of flat steel that is unpainted and suspend that. The lack of suspension on the washing also presents some issues with the way the sound gets transferred as it wont freely vibrate the way it could there.
Another thing you could do is playback the signal into the plate at 2x speed, then bring it back down to real speed and it'll double the length of the tail and sound like a larger room.
Hi there! I was wondering you are shipping products to Romania, Europe. I am interested in buying Marshmallow DIY Phantom kit from you. Let me know when you get the chance. Thank you!
Amazing work, especially with pickup sustainer
Hello, I would really like to get this microphone, but I have no opportunity to buy it in my country, I live in Ukraine, I have an unusual question for you, could you send it to me, I can pay to any details, if this is difficult for you, just ignore this request, thank you.
Hi, I have shipped orders to Ukraine recently. You can order on my website metalmarshmallow.com
The final result actually sounds a lot like the natural reverb of a very small room!
I honestly though the reverb sounded a little WASHED 😂😂😂😂😂
Well, I clicked bc it looked like this might go in a field recording direction. I was hoping you were using a big grain silo or something as your reverb plate. I loved the classical guitar on the pointy shred axe.
It's extremely dark sounding. Could be good combined with other effects.
x10 was very good. cant say was it realistic or not because ive never ever seen such caves, but other in other cases its as if you had actually recorded vocals and guitar in a tiled bathroom. unbelievable quality. i need one of these contact mics, probably ill cannibalize some of my mics to make it diy. great video, subscribed, liked, etc!
they're calling him "The Frankie MacDonald of Audio Technology"
It sounds a bit boxy. Pun intended
Acoustic guitar body reverb?
Interesting idea, I'll have to try it out!
You are AWESOME!
No, YOU are awesome, hahaha!
