I am finding it difficult to follow the tempo of releasing one video a day, as I have lot of things to do in January, so I have to recuce the rythm a bit and do a video from time to time. In this track I use Pigments for the rythmic synth lines and the pseudo bass drum, and the Prophet for the warpy melody. If you like my content please consider subscribing.

    There's nothing else quite like Shallow Water out there. That low pass gate really adds that little something many others don't do. There's a few pedals which I would put in similar category with it, like Generation Loss. While you have a cool selection, they are all in somewhat different groups. I wouldn't say an Emperor or Deco are lo-fi machines, even though they can do it.

      I can't remember how it was when I recorded the video, but for how it sounds I am guessing the pad was on and the boost off. But all settings work really, they deliver different sounds though (more overdriven when not using the input pad).

    thank you, great stuff. the Rev 2 is a stereo synth. how did you manage to run it through the shallow water (mono). And did you change the pots internally in the shallow water (boost off, pad on), since the REV2 outputs line levels? thanks!

    • @PabloOrtegaMusic

      You can deactivate the stereo output on the rev2 settings, effectively making it to work as mono, and just use one of the outputs (L or R).

      @tweeked267 3 роки тому

      @@PabloOrtegaMusic I am wondering how you got the 10 second delay to work and I haven't seen in the manual or any videos how it's done. I know it is by using the tap tempo input, but I can't find any more information regarding how it works. I do alot of long delay work using my Moog and Guitars into my DD-7 by the A-input and B-output (obviously mono) and just maxing the time knob. Is it as simple as hooking an expression pedal into the tap/exp input and maxing the pedal? Also does it work in both digital and analog or just the digital setting? Thanks in advance if you have time to respond.

    • @PabloOrtegaMusic
      @PabloOrtegaMusic 3 роки тому

      @@tweeked267 the best way to achieve this kind of long delay looping is just as you described, using the dd7 on the long delay setting and plugin the B output in mono. That should give you a bit longer than 6 second delay which is also nice. The dd8 can do 10 second by using a tap tempo and output b. This method is more fiddly than just using the dd7 though.

      I didn't, the noise was always there and this is the reason I eventually got rid of the pedal. I tried everything, but the noise is just inherent to the pedal, partly caused by the extreme compression that is always active.

    • @PabloOrtegaMusic

      @@happytosh2965 It is a guitar pedal, so it is not really designed to be used with balanced cables. The power source is indeed very important and you are right, if used with other pedals the noise can get worse, as the compression will rise up the noise floor of all the pedals placed before it.

      Honestly I made the video too long ago, so I don't really know anymore. Right now I use it just like you do, buffer off, pad on. With an analog synth I think it is possible to deactivate the pad as well, only in that case the synth will overdrive the input much more and the sound will be more saturated, which is also nice, so I guess it is a matter of taste.
