See description for timestamps. Please comment and let everyone know what you use for your Lofi sounds if it is not included in this video!
I want to hear more of your playing
Earthquaker Aqueduct covers a bunch of sounds from this vid: random vibrato, three different types of dynamic vibrato, and different wave shapes
put my tape sim in this year's run down?
@@glowfly Would love to, but I'm not a builder :) Sounds cool from the demo you put up.
@@TriPedalReviews maybe i'll send you one when i have made to sell :)
The definitive video on lofi pedals on UA-cam. A year ago it would have saved me a lot of return shipping fees.
bpsychoz what did you settle on? I’ve got a JAM Ripply Falls but really wanna try a Gen Loss
@@winstonsmith8236 Gen Loss has a huge Volume drop. Other than that it is a great pedal. Supposedly there will be a new version that fixes that
Same. I traded my Shallow Water for a Rainbow Machine. Worst decision ever. smh.
Agreed, although I have not find the holy grail yet.
The best vinyl-type sound I've heard is the Destroyer effect on the Mobius but I refuse to buy anything from Strymon. Should they make a destroyer stand-alone pedal, I would certainly buy it. But I won't pay €400 for one effect.
That being said, the Destroyer mode is beyond compare. No pedal comes close. And I've owned the Gen Loss, the Hexe Melusine and Penny Pedal Radio Deluxe. Any help to find the one and only would be appreciated :)
Chris Hash Jam Water Fall has a beautiful vibrato and the chorus is the best. Def a keeper. I have the Deco on my board though now bc great tape warble and I love the compression of the light OD with my Vox.
wow, what an insane effort you have put into this. for some reason, i've really been desiring a cassette tape sound and you've made it so much easier to narrow down the options.
Wait about another week.. I've got one 3 times this big coming.
@@TriPedalReviews you're like the stanley kubrick of pedal reviews
The Alexander F.13 and the Mattoverse pedal blew me away! Thanks for including pedals no one talks about!
Awesome video. Straight to the point, comprehensive and informative. Thanks!
Amazing video! Well done, thank you!
I admire your discipline for putting together this compendium.
I’ve had it on my mind lately to find how else to get sounds similar to “stability” on the CBA blooper. I’ve received many suggestions for effects included here. So this video makes it easy for me to hear them all in one place.
Thanks!
Cooper FX - generation loss just do the cleanest destruction i've ever heard, amazing. Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for including the Inflection Point, great video!
No problem! Thanks for making the Inflection Point. :) One of my favorite vibratos.
thx so much for this. appreciate how deep you dive into each one.
No problem, I did a second round to this shootout in 3 parts. Check it out if interested.

Outstanding demo!
Unbelievable demo man, great overview of each sound.
Thank you, glad you liked it!
I was looking for a video exactly like this... thank you
This is a pretty epic assembly of pedals! I’m not sure you missed any significant ones except maybe the Hexe and included a couple I didn’t even know about. I do think some of these get more into bit crushing which is a different game.
Great video! Very useful, thanks for this.
I love using the Vinyl Sim effect of the SP-404 sampler. I eventually use it as a pedal for my guitar, just for this effect.
I've recently purchased the Zvex Lo-Fi, as you say in the video, it's so warm, and that's what I'm looking for.
Keep up the good work!
Roland SP-groove samplers have the very best of the best lo-fi sounds, I use it for production more often than Cooper fx Gen.loss, Hexe Mesuline etcetera
After 30 minutes you start to feel seasick but you keeg going because it's still damn pleasing to hear
Wow... thank you so much for this! It's so helpful. Fantastic work.
You are welcome!
Amazing work
I've been switching out older pedals recently for newer ones, and gravitate towards lofi tape/vinyl/vibrato/modulation units. I have a Solid Gold Electroman mkii, and love its tape warped/damaged/mod functions in the delay. Can't wait to sell more old gear to afford one of these. :D Very helpful video.
This is great. Thank you.
Just got an Industrialectric Echo Degrader. Basically a noisy, broken tape echo. I both love it and am unsure about it. Shallow Water should come in tomorrow, looking forward to trying them together.
Really like the Deco demos I've seen. Almost seems like a versatile "better-izer" in addition to its lofi capabilities.
I've always been curious about industrialelctric pedals. They look fun. With the Shallow Water, make sure to follow the instructions on how to set the envelope up. Have fun with them!
awesome video! still looking for more extreme sounds, but stereo is a must since I also want to use it for production. got the lofi junky and love it on synths. the deco is my newest addition, just bought it for different reason (chorus / flanger and hard-panned double tracking)
SA ventris and the mobius seem both great and extremely versatile.
Yeah I'd love to see this shoot out on synths. The Lofi Junkie is a great pedal I have the OG looper version.
So relevant!
i needed this video!!!
Was just in a debate about whether the deco could produce any lofi sounds. Had to take them back to the original definition of low fidelity. Thanks for the demo
One of the best most useful pedal demos ive ever seen!! Thank you so much. This type of effect is my favorite. Between the source audio ventris and the nemesis which do u think is better for this type of spooky effect?
Also do u know if the ventris has the ability to do a constantly falling downward sheperds tone sort of verb?
The mercury 7 does it amazingly but the ventris wpuld be more affordable. Thanks
Thank you sir! I don't recall if either does the doppler dropping thing or not. I'll try and check out both and see what's possible and get back with ya.
An interesting idea would be to use the OBNE Expression Ramper on a lo-fi pedal that has an expression input, and ramp two, three, or four parameter settings for some unintended lo-fi modulation that isn't supposed to exist.
amazing thanks!!
Hi and thanks for your videos.The Chase Bliss HI-Fi not only makes warped sounds, but it has one of the most beautiful chorus sounds I've ever heard. I am glad they teamed up with Drolo and OBNE for that new MOOD. I love weird pedals and unfortunately I have sold a few due to money constraints and just wanting to trade out. Case in point was the Aqueduct which definitely falls in this category. Also, a few times pedal manufacturers can be very rude and that has made it difficult at times to be unbiased on my part but some are just so nice that I know they want my business and as a result they have it.
The Warped Vinyl (both versions) are awesome pedals. I got the Mkii specifically for this shootout and figured I'd sell it immediately after, but I ended up also liking it so much I kept it. I don't get along with many chorus pedals, but those 2 I do. Aqueduct was pretty cool. I really liked the envelope mode on it.
@@TriPedalReviews Haha. Yeah, I'm not a chorus fan either, but Chase Bliss stuff is so beautiful that it's hard to say no.
One to add to this list! Doug at Mid Fi Electronics makes one called "For Parts or Repair". Really simple pedal - two knobs: "Dropouts" and "Wow & Flutter".
OoOOo thank you. I'll have to check that out! Love mid fi!
Super helpful, thank you! Now you need to add the Nu-33 Vinyl Engine to the lineup... ;-)
I've got it, it's slated for round 2.
Wow, that generation loss pedal is so versatile and great sounding. That’s one pedal I wish were more available...
And cheaper!
Cooper FX Arcades with the GenLoss card or the Low-Fi card are great options!
@@grizelda4526 yay that's only $600 lol. plus cooperfx doesn't even make pedals anymore, he works for chase bliss now. the chase bliss dark world has some generation loss magic in it's "Mod" mode Dark side.
Chase Bliss have announced a Mark II version of the Generation Loss for preorder
God bless your soul brother.
Nice
Word. Ya heard chase bliss audio pedal called "mood"? Many useful explorative applications.
Yessir, I used to own one, thinking about picking it up again :)
Wow. Mobius does sound good and literally bends and crushes sound.
Wow thanks for taking the time to make that. I'm currently looking for an effects pedal for a project I'm working on and was wondering if you'd have any recommendations? I'm looking for it to do a few things: 1. Random wow and flutter. 2. Able to control /increase noise levels over time 3. Stereo in/out. Intended to be used with synths /guitar/daw. Think Boards of Canada but without the hassle of rerecording on a reel to reel tape player (so far I feel like that still may be the way to go though!). Oh also, if it was available in the UK that would be great. So many of these amazing sounding pedals are so hard to get hold of!
So for requirement 1, you need the ability to control noise with an expression pedal to get the "over time" aspect. That's the only way I can think to do it. For requirement #2 you're looking at tape style, and for #3 you narrow your list down to the Source Audio products. Those are the only options that hit all 3 of those requirements. The only other option is the Destroyer machine on the Mobius. I'm not 100% posotive, but I'm about 99% sure you can assign the expression pedal control to control noise on the Mobius. That is more in the ball park of a warped vinyl sound though.
@@TriPedalReviews Wow thanks for getting back to me. You've confirmed what I suspected might have been the case. Looks like the Source Audio pedals are the best option for me - I'll need to have another listen to them and the Mobius. I also thought the Wardenclyffe sounded amazing in its own way, but alas, I can only afford to buy one pedal! :)
Very nice demo :)
favorite : Drolo molecular and mattoverse inflect points , i'm trying to afford one if someone know where they're hiding !!
Not complete without the Fairfield Meet Maude! Thanks for this extensive list!
I have had a Mobius sitting in a draw for a few years now. No more. This video really shows you what it is capable of. Cheers.
Can't wait to hear the wardenclyffe deluxe. Maybe it will become the ultimate lofi tool
Got one per-ordered :D
@@TriPedalReviews unfortunately I'll have to wait the next round to order mine. On the bright side, this will give me time to watch your quality in depth review, as usual.
Thanks for nice demo and comparison. I discovered awesome channel. I'm planning to get Cooper Arcades. How about this？
You are welcome, I did a 2nd shootout that was 3 parts, 9 hours long. It is in Part 2 of that shootout.
ua-cam.com/video/PlDl4fBQ8lc/v-deo.html
It's kinda annoying how great the Mobius is. There's something really gorgeous and tastesful about all the sounds, at least to me ears, while a lot of the other stuff leaves me "meh" at best and at worst "that just sounds out of tune and like it's trying too hard." But it's way overpowered and overpriced for what I want - just the Destroyer mode in a pedal.
Anyways, thanks for putting this together. As other commentators have said, it's extremely useful and thorough.
I couldn't live without the Gen Loss. It seems to sound the sweetest and most analog of all of them (except maybe the regular chase bliss vinyl). But I also keep religiously the lo fi junky for more in your face character moments. The deco didn't do it for me. And i do have the Empress verb as my last pedal in the chain, but rarely use it for the lo fi sounds. The video made me wanna investigate more in that direction for sure!
That's... a $750 pedal. Better be good.
@@medick81$750?? Yikes! I can get all those effects out my $150 Zoom MS70CDR, plus a scratched vinyl sound.
Thanks for the great video! I was thinking of gettin Zvex lofi junky, but realized with this video that my Nemesis sounds much better than that. So thanks for saving me 170 euros :D
Anytime!
Cooper fx Gen loss v1 still unbeatable in 2023
I miss the Solidgoldfx nu-33, and the best of all in my opinion : Hexe Guitar Electronics Mesuline III
Nemesis 🖤
Yeah I think the Nemesis has the warble down
Drolo with Empress save feature would be ideal.
Surprised how good the Ventris was considering its a reverb pedal
Which of these would be the most affordable?
Apparently I am very behind the times. What is the program or app you are using to manipulate the Strymon Timeline?
It's called Nixie. I also did a video tutorial on the program a long time ago, you should be able to find it.
the deco is the best pedal I have
You should also check out the SolidGoldFX NU-33.
It has a knob to add in the background hiss, and a switch for the needle clicking that can be added in without having to play a signal through the pedal, also switchable separate high pass and low pass filters.
Yup! I actually did a larger shootout than this one later, 9 hours in total. Nu-33 was included in that one. It's broken into 3 parts.
@@TriPedalReviews ah I’ll check it out! Thank you
great video 👍 do you have an expression pedal plugged in to the mobius for changing bitrate etc?
I was changing it via computer, had it hooked up via midi to USB cable. Don't believe I had an expression pedal hooked up in this instance.
Tri Pedal Reviews thanks for the reply 🙏
So what's everyone's favorite??
15:15
amazing.............
We need a 10h version
Amazing demo thank you! I have been looking at a few lofi pedals not realizing my Timeline had a great setting for it. I’ve been so stuck on using at as a delay I never explored using it full wet and using that as the source! How do you feel about the difference between the Lofi mode on the timeline vs that of the Mobius? I’ve been stuck between getting the mobius because it’s stereo stereo and the Generation Loss because I like the character more. If the mobius and timeline modes are comparable I might just spring for the generation loss!
Timeline has increased control over Mobius on lofi mode. I will say that loss of volume on the Gen Loss is a common complaint at certain filter settings. This is something the Chase Bliss colab with CooperFX (Chase bliss generation loss) addressed by allowing a separate volume control. If this might bother you, I'd suggest waiting until CooperFX have released their next iteration of the Gen Loss, which is supposed to address this issue.
@@TriPedalReviews Awesome thank you for the info. I guess I'll wait for the next gen loss. I can't believe the amount people are scalping the Chase Bliss version for on Reverb. For that I could get a stereo pair of Gen1 !
@@nizer7147 Yea, the world is full of jack asses :) I'll be picking up a new gen loss when they come out. I've already got the Chase Bliss one though.
Can we have a season 2?
But this time with more unkown pedals? That hyped stuff is good too but enough of those
@@junkheadyamiken With enough suggestions, yes. I'd consider it.
Tri Pedal Reviews T-120?
The GFI Systems has good bit and vinyl stuff with their Synesthesia.
Yes it does! I've made individual videos with that one, and also I did a part 2 of this shootout that was over 9 hours (3 videos) that included the Synesthesia :)
Which pedals have stereo input output? I’d like to use for Motif XF.
Motif has great lofi effects but my issue with Lofi on Motif it requires separate patches to switch it and on off switch doesn’t work as intended. It sounds really good if you have programmed in your patch or performance combi but Sysex switching the effect while playing chain is nightmare. I’d like to try a pedal that had no signal loss on bypass mode and a wet/dry for engaged mode. Thank you!!
These are the stereo options.
Strymon Deco via TRS
Strymon Mobius
Source Audio Ventris
Source Audio Nemesis
Eventide H9 or Mod Factor
Empress Reverb
Strymon Timeline
@@TriPedalReviews thanks! What might you suggest top 2 or 3 picks are for Keyboard / Synth player?
@@miekwavesoundlab That'd depend on what sounds you're going for. I've done a much larger round to this shootout that I just posted, it contains 65 pedals broken into 3 videos, it includes all these pedals and more I've acquired over the years. IMO the Zoia or Beebo are great as you can design your own patches in a modular fashion. They also have stereo ins/outs. Lofi stuff is just a combination of several effects. I've also done tutorials on getting lofi sounds with the Beebo. There is a community for both pedals that constantly comes up with patches, so much of the work is already done for you. They really allow you to dial in what you want. Mobius is good for a simpler all in one package, and it does a bunch of other modulation. 3 Degrees Audio Bygones V2, Source Audio Ventris or Nemsis. All of those are great. Ventris and Nemisis more for tape stuff shown in the video with the specific patches I mentioned. Those are some of my faves. All have stereo ins/outs and can handle synth.
old small clones are great
I kind of hate how bitcrush and sample rate reduction are lumped in with vinyl and tape-style distortion. It always sticks out like a sore thumb to me. I know it sounds like nitpicking, but that and constant-rate LFO modulation both sound so obvious and inorganic to me. I think the ZVex and Strymon pedals are the only ones that really do that nice saturation sound without sounding too much like basic clipping and a LPF.
Thanks for the detailed video! Its very cool to hear sound comparisons.
This new "boutique" pricing mode for guitar pedals is bullshit though. I'm not paying more than a couple hundred for any pedal point blank period. Its just greedy. Looking at you Chase Bliss.....
Couldnt agree more 👌🏻
Wonder which ones are your faves from that big cool collection?
For Tape, the SA pedals are my favorite. Deco & Recovery (deco being cleaner) are probably close seconds, but all of the ones in that category did a good job. I was amazed at pedals that wern't built specifically for the purpose getting as close as they did to the sound. I will say the EHX tape was different than the others, covering just saturation and uniform modulation. So it wasn't quite as robust as the other options, but it's purpose is a great delay, not chewed up tape sounds.
Vinyl is harder to call for me, so I wont, lot's of killer pedals in that category.
mattoverse and drolo
@@TriPedalReviews I’ve come back to this great demo many times. The Deco really sticks out as a amazing sound with the saturation engaged. If they made a stereo lofi junky instant, I’d be set.
Oh yea
Hyped i helped a tad
No VHS? FeelsBadMan
tabs for the progression would be greatlllly appreciated it sounds so nice
Here you go. Capo the 2nd fret, the rest is pretty easy. This isn't exact towards the end, but gives you the progression. It's easy to figure out.
imgur.com/Eo4OwKw
Nu33?
And about the cheap chorus/vibrato options?
Vinnie D Mr. Black’s Mini Chorus is $99. It’s modeled after the 70’s Ensemble Chorus. You can go from a lush sound, to a tri-Chorus type of effect. And with the mix all the way up it becomes vibrato and then you can manipulate the depth and rate. Only con is that the knobs are kind of tiny, which isn’t bad for me because I have small hands. But it does become hard to see the dash mark to know where it’s dialed at. All in all, a worthy purchase when you’re on a budget and can’t afford their “normal sized” vintage Chorus. Good luck, my man.
Zoom ms70cdr - stack up to 6 effects. So chorus/vibrato, eq/filter, delay, reverb, compression, and maybe some drive will get you in that ballpark.
What can I do
My Dear
To catch
Your REAR?
Generation Loss is such a beautiful name for that pedal. Want want.
I am also drooling over that Drolo, that "feedback noise thing" is excellent.
Anything from Fairfield sounds really good, but Shallow Water doesn't sound like neither tape or vinyl that much in my ears. Neither does
Varped Vinyl HiFi that I got my self. : /
I belive the Empress pedal must be one of the best pedals, and not only best among reverbs.
That Midfi Pitch Pirate delux seems fun : )
I miss Demedash T-120 Videotape Echo her. I got that one to and like it better, or find better use of it than the Varped Vinyl. Maybe because it sounds to HiFi?
Yeah the shallow water is really quite unique which is very impressive considering how many lofi pedals on this vid haha the hifi warped vinyl is a little lofi but its very 80s/early 90s style of lofi haha rather than the rest which remind me more of the 70s
Had the Instant Lofi Junky..just wasn't what I was looking for and it's noisy
Same. Had this crazy loopy noise in the background. And I need something stereo.
It’s so noisy
Thoughts on the new solid gold fx nu 33.
I did a demo with that pedal, it'll be included in round 2 of the shootout. Anyways, I do like the pedal, but there are certain controls I'd like more control over, so it isn't perfect. Filtering for instance is on a toggle switch. I'd much rather have that on a knob or several knobs.
@@TriPedalReviews I did buy it but I’m really leaning towards getting the chase bliss hifi just because it’s chorus is amazing. For the vinyl aspect I wish it did do a little more like the crackling noise. Which pedal was your favorite and why? Thanks again!
@@empathysgone96 My 2 favorites for Vinyl emulation are the Strymon Mobius and the Midfi Random Vibrato. Mobius because I like the control set and I think they did the vinyl hisses/pops better than anyone else. The Midfi only does random vibrato, but it is just the right amount for me personally. Just adds a bit of movement. Other than that it has no features. My favorite for tape emulation would be the Ventris hands down, and it's not even a sound it was "meant" to do.
I really like the Hifi though, it's one of my favorite chorus pedals. I think it does a pretty good job even without the hiss/pops.
I'll be checking out the Wardenclyffe deluxe when it comes out, which will also be part of the 2nd shootout.
@@TriPedalReviews I’ll definitely be looking for it! Thanks for doing an awesome job!
Night the chase bliss. That’s heavenly
Demedash Effects T120
New one (video tape something or the other) comes out tomorrow. 6/25
That’s what led me here.
@@CraftWon
T-60 Videotape Vibrato
The Strymon Deco is the one!
The hipster pedals are just stacked vibratos and there really over exaggerated they have that under water sound that you never actually hear on lofi songs, there all unusable on every dial after 9 o'clock, there also over priced!
I'm confused. are you usiung a virtual strymon lofi? the pedal doesn't look like that.
Strymon has an Application called Nixie, if you hook the pedal up to your computer via a USB to midi interface, you can control it from the application instead of the pedal. Still using the pedal, just an easier to see interface, especially for secondary parameters.
loopgubrious
Anyone know of guitar effects VSTs that can get this sound?
Waves Kramer Tape, Izotope Vinyl
@@louissadler4047 Hey thanks! I'll check these out
Waves HDelay is pretty insane if you want it to go that way. Very liquid and lacking some of the flanginess...
Don't fall for these pedals if you have regular comp, eq, drive/fuzz, and vibrato effects in your pedal setup or multieffects unit. You can get similar results and have more options to create whatever sound you like.
Very much so. As long as you know the building blocks of what makes something lofi, you can achieve the same sounds any number of ways. For anyone curious checkout my video "Poly Effects Beebo - A Lofi Exploration" as I go over those building blocks, which can be applied to any number of effects pedals of the same type.
you should update this list now that we have the gen lost 2 and the artificial blonde
I don't have the artificial blonde, but I did an updated shootout with almost all iterations of the Generation Loss. Might do another round at some point to include some additional pedals that have been released in recent years, but it'll probably be at least a year down the road.
OOOOOH the artifiical blonde is an amazing vibrato@@TriPedalReviews
Round 2 shootout in 2022?!
Yes.
Majestic tones. Looking forward on round 2 🔫. @@TriPedalReviews
HEXE Melusine III ?
Owned one. Very disappointing.
That Eventide thing did not sound good at all. Sounded like a crummy software plugin slapped into a fancy box. The Chase Bliss was pretty nice. All others except the Eventide had a special something or another that made them interesting. Thank you for the video. Well done.
lol the pitch pirate is only lofi accidentally
43:35
The two thumbs down are just diehard deconstructionist.
Hell, that could've been 20 videos. Did you lump them all together because they sound very much the same?
Yea, all can do similar sounds and everyone likes to know how one compares to another. Figured I'd go for broke!
anyone know which ones are inexpensive
? :c
No, don’t you know making things sound shite is expensive?
The funny thing is you could just record to tape and get much of the same vibe haha.
Dylan Chase word
So many useable sounds in the other pedals no need to spends 1k+ on the generation loss...
I completely agree here. It may have been a great option back in the day when there were no other options and it wasn't 1k, but now days you can get very similar results from a lot of different pedals.
bro recorded the video in 1999 and uploaded in 2019
