Strymon UltraViolet: How to Be Advanced
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
- In my opinion, these are the 5 coolest ways to use the Ultraviolet pedal from Strymon, which is their updated take on the Uni-Vibe pedal (a phasey modulation effect). Settings below. Stop-motion animation and drone footage by John Marty. Additional drone footage by Best Frenemies.

This is the best channel on UA-cam
Yup
That subtle example was amazing!
I'm glad you liked it BFF
Love a good "mysterious what is happening back there sound".
Same
The subtle vibe thing really is magical and worthy of being "advanced" in the practiced restraint.
I love the Wilson haze Vibe for this particular thing and it can get nice and chewy phasey too
What could be more American than a strat, a uni-vibe, and cartoonized drone footage of a baseball diamond?
USA baby
This guy always looks like he's high on something. Very entertaining to watch, also excellent pro tips.
Love your song choices and your arrangements as always. Thanks for the Shirelles!
Thanks, glad you caught the Shirelles, that song is so good
I love it!
perfect! Thank YOU!!!!
If I’m not mistaken that’s a great Hedwig riff right there
dude I am so glad somebody finally caught that
Wicked vid love the keyboard tip
Fire! with that Like a Virgin-esque bass line song, sounds good!
ANYONE WHO HAD A HEART is probably the best song ever. thanks for that!!
glad you caught that, it's a really cool song
@@CyberattackWorld hard to miss a Bacharach hook! :)
Saw another demo of this pedal and I think this is a high quality subtle univibe sound. Time will tell how popular it becomes. Personally I like it. 😎🤓
As per usual, Chaos is my favorite 😈
this is the way
Thanks for the pro tips
the first pro-tip was my favourite - the most musical
thanks glad I made the right choice
Would love to see you do a ‘how to be advanced’ video with the AFG-1 flanger from Asheville Music Tools. That series of pedals seems perfect for this video series
Thanks, I don't have any but I'll keep an eye out
Great channel! Do you have any videos on how to stack overdrives? I have, like, all the OD pedals, but I am not good at stacking...
I'm in the early stages of putting together a video on this exact topic, I hope to get it out by the end of the year
Nice bit of EVH in there 🤘
Twice!
glad you caught those
I liked his mellow take on "Hear about it later" I fkn LOVE that Van Halen song 😀
I would love to see your take on "How to be advanced" the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Float dual moving filter pedal. Local Lore apparently says that the limit does not exist with the OBNE float pedal.
that pedal is super cool but I actually haven't been able to come up with surprising uses for it, or like the kinds of sounds that are so outside its intended purpose that I would consider them pro-tips
Cy-Gor sighting! Hahaha what?!
No secondary functions? That was always the icing on the cake. You cant have cake without icing!
I'm a fan of Strymon secondary functions, but none of their new pedals in this style of enclosure have any, which I think is deliberate. My sense is that this line is supposed to be stripped down and appeal to people who may have been turned off by the complexity of the other pedals. So I think no secondary functions is part of the identity of these new ones.
@@CyberattackWorld Oh ok, I guess I didnt pay that close attention to the other two pedals in this line, makes sense then.
Can you do a how to be advanced for the Volante? I know it’s been out for a few years, but I’d love to see what you’d do with it
Thanks man. I do have a Volante, but most of the "advanced" stuff I do with it are just versions of the pro-tips in my video about the Keeley Dark Side. That pedal also has multiple tape heads, and I found some cool ways to abuse them, which can be translated to the Volante. (And unlike the Dark Side, the Volante can be stereo.)

@@CyberattackWorld thank you! Super helpful, I love the flutter ideas you had!
@@benjaminhixson3918 glad to hear it
Stratocaster? Who are you and what have done to Cyberattack?
LOL it's not my main but I do love stratocasters
I thought the piano riff would transition into Still D.R.E lmao
I did do that in a different pedal video: ua-cam.com/video/_lc3x6YMQJk/v-deo.htmlsi=-wQxMfiUEgdLxcZS&t=357
You affiliate link ain’t workin bro
oh jeez OK I fixed it thank you
Ha! I like that you played "Hear about it Later" by Van Halen! I LOVE that intro!
that band rules my life
@CyberattackWorld 🤣 Ain't a bad band to have for your life's theme music, that's for sure lol!
Ummmm I definitely didn’t get what I was hoping for from this video. I love Univibe and it is a very versatile effect. This pedal looks to be amazing but I was hoping to get some ideas on how best to dial it in for classic iconic sounds.
very accurate that my video is not going to be helpful for that. I bet you can find good demos of how to get the classic sounds out of it in Strymon's own UA-cam vids about it. Thanks for checking out my channel.
I can sppreciate the nod to simplicity to open the example of how the pedal performs. But the Vibe is inately an intense modulation device and in practical use should showcase as much in my opinion.
Otherwise it just gets lost in the mix as a trem/vibrato vs a true vibe that contains a through zero watery flange effect. Different strokes for different folks, and not everybody has to sound like Hendrix or Trower. But again, the Vibe context just seems to get lost in this demo right from jump.
I appreciate the comment. For what it's worth I make these videos knowing there will be many other channels--including the Strymon UA-cam channel itself--that demonstrate the pedal in certain ways, and so I try to find uses that I think are cool and unlikely to be covered anywhere else. As a result I usually try to defeat the purpose of any pedal I get, and the innate character of a vibe pedal is something I tried to obliterate from the moment I opened the box.
