THE TECHNICIAN - an overview
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- This is a broad strokes overview of what the technician can do, we will have more detailed videos as the week goes on.
The Technician is a dual-channel audio manipulator crafted for musical exploration, combining reverb, delay, modulators, a resonance filter, and a stereo looper to build everything from basic delays to complex layered soundscapes. Equipped with stereo input/output, MIDI, presets, expression control, and USB connectivity, The Technician provides all you need to find your inspiration.

You should send one of these to Mark Johnston. I wasn't able to understand (hear) what the modulators were doing and didn't understand the change that happened with the pages. Sounds cool. I just didn't understand most things.
Gorgeous! Thank You for building this incredible tool! I am sold - now the saving begins!
Dude this is SICK! Seriously great work
thank you!!
What an amazing sounding and thoughtfully designed piece of gear! Bravo guys
I hope Emily the harpist gets one of these, totally cool!
Bruh shes trash
Yes !!!
+1000
A pedal that looks as good as it sounds. And I don’t only mean cosmetically (though it does look seriously understated and cool). It looks ‘serious’, ‘professional’. It knows what it is doing and it knows it is doing it well. Fantastic.
Looks serious like automatone chase bliss series :)
Wow! Matthews really leveled up with this one... amazing brand, never ceases to amaze me!
Thank you!!
This sounds wonderful! I definitely could see adding this to my synth rig....
Ordered two through pedal empire in Australia! Can’t wait to get my hands on this thing and start making samples. Greetings from the other side of the world 🇦🇺
@@Adamhyrule_ wow thank you for the support! I will be shipping their order out in the next two days!
@ So pumped! Excited to see what you do next with this form factor.
@@Adamhyrule_ I'm very excited too!!! working on it now!
This is ridiculously cool...
@@williamminiard4835 thank you!
Been looking for this pedal.
It’s really an instrument, as much as a pedal.
It really is!
Dude, this thing sounds really, really good...
@@The_fuzz_buzz thank you!!!
Does it have spring reverb?
Incredible work!!
Holy cow. This is amazing
thank you!!!!
This will be amazing on the synths
That’s the hope!!
My expectations were high, yet still exceeded
i'm so glad!!!!!
Dude this looks so cool. Awesome job!
Thank you!!
Pedal of the year? Pedal of the year.
Just Wonderful 😍
Nice! Made stairway to heaven sound pretty darn fresh
This is cool! I want one.
Incredible❤️
Bought immediately after watching this.
Just curious, from start to finish, how long did this take to create/build?
the pedal? 2 years!
@
Incredible work! This thing obviously has sooooo much uniqueness in it… clearly this was a labor of love. I also see some Chase Blissiness in it as well. Keep it up 👌
I need to get my hands on this ASAP
Would this be an equivalent or competitor to the chroma console?
Sold Out, I see ... should we expect it to come regularly into stock or will there be a long wait?
3-5 weeks, you are able to pre-order your spot on the website right now.
Can you use this as a straight up modulation pedal as well; applying the trem, vibrato, etc. effects only to the dry signal? Or are those only to enhance the delay/verb sounds?
@@mjcolavolpe they are only to enhance the wet effects although with a short delay time you easily can make a chorus or mute the dry for vibrato etc
@@MatthewsEffects Thank you for the fast reply! Gotcha, sounds good. I am also curious about doing freeze/stutter type effects with it. I am wondering how many other pedals this one might replace!
Looks and sounds great! Are these available in Europe?
LOVE IT!!!
Woah man. Incredible!
thank you!!!
Holy heck this is brilliant ❤
Thanks!
Where can one buy this wonder machine? Checked on your web page, but could not locate it.
@@RetningNord me too!
Looks amazing! Just wondering if the delay and reverb can be applied to specific loop overdubs or if they act as global effects for all parts within the looper and all signals going through the pedal?
@@o_wheeler you can change the effect order at any time so if you want to run effects into the loop and then move the loop before the effects you can do that or you can keep it post effects so your layers will only have the effects you recorded into it
1) Amazing
2) Can the filter be set to oscillate at the speed of the tap tempo?
You can't currently attach any of the modifiers to tap control.
I need to have this!!
i agree!! 🤣
It has a tap tempo! GOOD!
Tap tempo needs to be standard-issue for anything time-based.
I whole heartedly agree!
I ordered one just by watching this video. Hope it arrives soon. There is stock right?
@@gorbzzz wow thank you for your support!! Should go out tomorrow or Tuesday morning at the latest!
@@MatthewsEffects Looking forward. I hope you consider making this Eurorack too. It would be an instant winner (and yes I would also buy it for Eurorack).
Any chance we will get an update in the future to allow MIDI Clock/Tempo syncing and a high pass filter for the delay? There are maybe 3 delay pedals on the market offering both a High Pass and Low Pass filter together, while the rest only allow one or the other.
There is dampening for digital and reverse, we are definitely adding more features in future updates.
@MatthewsEffects high and low dampening/cut or just highs?
@ high or low not both and it is dampening so it gets darker or brighter for every repeat
already ordered mine.
@@howischris_ thank you for your support!!!
Why is there a crackling sound in the reverb part around 5:20?
I think that is the interface gain structure clipping, the pedal itself doesn’t clip.
@@MatthewsEffects Thanks for the explanation!
And lots of it.
Nice work! I would be so in on this if it had the ability to sync the delay and looper to an incoming MIDI clock. Any chance of this being a feature in the future?
@@thirdsmusic that is definitely coming! It was a little buggy so i pulled it for launch, I’m working to get it running tight and then I’ll release as part of a patch update. Didn’t want to talk about it since it was a feature that was available at launch. Coming soon!
@@MatthewsEffects great to hear and thank you for taking the time to reply! is there a way to control the overdub level with the looper? also would like to compliment you on the UI design as well as the overall sound of the of the effects.
Rick… 🤯
Congrats bro!
@@johncalebsnyder thank you!!!
Looks like a contender with the Microcosm.. impressive..
They make amazing products that inspire the industry! We are definitely trying to do our own thing though
@MatthewsEffects Oh yea for sure..look forward to more demos of the pedal...
This seem way more controllable with ability to fine tune what is going on under the hood! This is a dream machine 😅. Wow great work. I will be saving/selling/working extra hour’s to add this to my board!
@@JasonBrockStick Yea it's very interesting.. although I'm trying not to have gas for it..I already have Mood2,Onward, Lossy, Particle, Radius, Raster, Polymoon and Mercury X on my board.. which would cover a lot of this lol
Hi, looks great but looks like I miss (or it's not really obvious in this demo) can I use delay reverb and looper simulateniously? If so what's the signal path will be? Cheers. Ah sorry, found ut in user guide, yws its possible moreover possible to setup order. Great!
@@vladimirvoevodich623 yes! You actually have “effect order” on a preset level so you can have different combinations of the dsp blocks per preset!
Could someone compare this to the Walrus Qi etheralyzer?
❤❤❤
This is fucking awesome. Congrats for your work ! 🖤
thank you!!!
It reminds me of a bunch of pedals I already have all in one box
@@wesmitchem825 but in a good way?
@MatthewsEffects definitely it would save me from hooking up a bunch of pedals and worrying about the correct order and all that I'd call it a chase bliss mood on crack it has all the good parts and none of the bad parts plus extras that are cool
Is there a way of adding stereo width to a mono signal? Sounds great!
There is “parallel mono” mode where it splits your input processes the engines separately and then mixes them back together for a mono output!
@MatthewsEffects thanks! Curious if this can take a line input? Might be a v cool tool for synth players too
@ it does need some gain adjustment on the input but does sound great in the studio, i have not tried it with line level synths yet
I just got mine! Plugged it in though and noticed there is a lot of weird clipping and tone suck that is applying to my whole signal chain when this is in the loop, no matter if its in the effects loop, or in front of the amp, has anyone else had similar issues?
@@roarkkuhlmann54 Hey shoot me a email! We had a couple units go out to dealers with a issue with the opamps we didn’t find until we had shipped some to dealers and asked them to help us replace those units and reach out to customers.
Info@matthewseffects.com shoot me a email and we will replace your unit super ASAP!!!
@@roarkkuhlmann54 also just to be clear this only affected x5 units and i could send out a unit tomorrow!
That is insanely wild 😜
Thanks 😁
Can the looper sync to my DAW seamlessly?
@@dingbatjack1234 that’s a very good point, right now there isn’t a MIDI command to start/stop the looper I’ll add that!
I’m torn between this and a Meris LVX… hmm
@@javiceres oh man! Thank you for the consideration! I definitely think they are different beasts! Meris does make great stuff!
@ thanks to you for creating things like this
At @6:36 is that a pad or guitar?
It’s a simple Rhoads piano, the “pad” sound is the pedal
@@MatthewsEffects how would you compare this to the Jet effects revelations? Can it do shimmer plus granular delay and big reverbs? I’m really interested in this pedal.
@ yes all of the modulators can be active at the same time and delay, reverb, filter and looper can all be active and adjusted on the fly! Build your soundscape!
I don’t really know the jet effects so I’m sure i couldn’t give a fair comparison but for dsp i would consider options and sample rate, bit depth, is it true stereo
@ tell me this can you do shimmer ? and that’s all I need to know. Or already be able to create a shimmer type sound
@ shimmer octave up or octave down 🙌
Ordered
@@renula thank you for the support!!!
Stereo is different from dual mono.
Imagine combining this with a Chase Bliss Mood…..whaaaaa
The mood is such a cool pedal! Never played it but a huge fan of their products!
interesting video,........awesome stereo field action.........some killer features................(I have to say that I don't care for the look, the knob choices, (those little black dots on silver are hard to read in bright lights) or the name and general look.....just my opinion.....sounds excellent..............
@@willswitchcraft ok 🤷🏻♂️ can’t make everyone happy. Have a great day though!
agreed........just offering my perspective (as someone who is very interested in gear like this)....All the best
@ appreciate it! Can’t do anything about most of those but the knobs is something we can look into for the future! We will be doing alt colors ever so often, maybe that one will work better for you!
Thanks for your response. I realize that most people using this will be 'enthusiasts' and people that create in their own home. I spent decades as a touring musician on 'the big stage', and I found it very problematic to read those small black dots on knobs like this when there were dozens of bright lights surrounding the stage (back then, I was using gear like the MiniMoog)........Just offering that perspective, even though it only relates to a select percentage of potential users................Hope you get some tracking with this pedal................
cool, looks like Chase x Meris pedal without sliders
Oof...wow!
Second
All I have to say is mmmmmmmmm
Oof! Wow.
my wallet just told me that it might consider divorcing me 😢
Can I trade in my original Technician?
@@knbstone haha thank you for owning original! I hope this continues the spirit of the original!
I guess that's a no then.
@@Peterbrendanalbert yeah sorry we would t be able to do a trade
why do all the new premium delay pedals have to be painted white? so stupid.
@@claytonlevibrown we will probably do alternate colors at some point but I’m sure if it was another color someone would be disapointed in that 🤷🏻♂️ can’t make everyone happy. We chose this 2 tone color combination from the different things we tried. It’s harder than it sounds to have an enclosure color that goes well with purple, blue and red icons and looks nice.
