    Hey everybody, it's Kenneth again! I thought I talk about my you my 10 favorite shoegaze pedals today. Long forgotten bargains, dirty noise toys, random glitch machines and brand new stomp boxes you should check out. While editing the video I discovered a damaged video file of material about the Catalinbread FX40 and the Glowfly End Credits. I'm very sorry that I won't demo these in this video. But luckily you can already find an in-depth demo of the FX40 on my channel at least. The End Credits is a looper with a time changing pitch knob. But other than that I hope you guys will have lots of fun watching this video. - Kenneth

      @berlinshoegazer  Рік тому +3

      Hey Alex, thank you. I think it's always a journey finding good sounds. It's time consuming and you need to invest. That's why all of us buy the expensive stuff every now and then. We want to explore if it it does the joy right for the money. But often there are long-forgotten sound toys that seem to contain the real magic as those have been used during the earlier days by many artists.

    I always enjoy watching your videos. your content helped me decide to build a shoegaze pedalboard. I have none of the 10 pedals included in the video, but I guess the Digitech Polara is close enough to the Hardwire Stereo Reverb.

    • @danielcarter3928
      @danielcarter3928 Рік тому +3

    • @berlinshoegazer
      @berlinshoegazer  Рік тому +2

      Thank you for your comment. You don't really need the pedals I use. I always try to stick to one specific sound, what turns out to be very hard when there is so much gear out there. Some artists - that I really enjoy listening to - used very similar sounds. But surey not the same gear. These pedals bring me close enought to the sound I like. And yeah, the Polara has the exact same Reverse Reverb sound as the Hardwire RV7. I would rather use a Polara too, as it looks so great and is smaller the the old Hardwire. But it has not the "gated" setting. So I had to stick to this rare dinosaur. :D

    Nice collection of pedals, and the noise at the end was great. You could add a bass line and some drums and you'd have a song. Have you ever tried any death by audio pedals? You should look into them if you haven't (I just got into them myself and have been pleasantly surprised) great video as ever

    That glow fly pitch delay sounds very similar to the particle reverb on the zoom multi stomp. There’s a setting on that effect that gives that sound I just can’t remember what it’s called

    Interesting. I do the shoegaze, dream pop thing too and have over 50 pedals but I don't have any of the ones you just showed. I used to have a Midiverb 2 but sold it in the early 2000s (wish I hadn't). I recently picked up a Walrus Audio Lore, Keeley Parallax and Eventide H90. Different tools for the same job I guess. Almost bought the Catalinbread Soft Focus but it seems like a one trick pony and I can "sort of" get that sound with the Keeley.

    • @danielcarter3928
      @danielcarter3928 Рік тому +1

      the soft focus just sounds really really good. you can adjust the modulation and even take it away completely so it works well as an always on reverb as well!

    • @berlinshoegazer
      @berlinshoegazer  Рік тому

      That's true, the Soft Focus does that FX500 Slowdive reverb sound, but it does it very good if you're looking for that specific sound. The Keeley Parallax is also very good. I recently discovered a company here in Germany called Licht Laerm Audio who create pedals with never ending reverb tales with different modulation styles. Pure shoegaze.

    @lzryd Рік тому +2

    Cool board. I keep coming back to it BC you actually know THE SOUND. I use Boss multi effects as well as pedals. I just got Catalinbread Soft Focus and it's an always on pedal for me. Now i want to try the EQD Ghost Echo and Dispatch Master. And that Zoom was outstanding on that A3 setting. Like soft focus then tape echo?
    My Devi Ever Fuzz Goddess is ...
    Shiva the Destroyer of glitch fest ...like that one you demo'd. Its a real mean momma of chaos. I use EQD Hizumitas for #1 Fuzz as its more in my EHX BMP fuzz wheelhouse. I think the EHX Green Russian #2 is a great dual use bass and gtr fuzz good machine.

    • @berlinshoegazer
      @berlinshoegazer  Рік тому +3

      I also think so. Amp simulation is a weird thing. It can sound good without putting it in a specific context. But next to the real amp it sounds wrong in the mids and the highs are too present. Also the gain reaction seems quite artificial most of the time. I heard that Guitar Rig 6 worked on an AI solution for that. Need to check that out. And yeah, my distortion pedals could not be replaced with any vst plugin. Here analog is the key.
