thanks dude! Honestly I think it'd take anyone a minute to remember all the alt controls, but from there I think it's pretty straightforward to use, personally.
MXR knows what's up with ambient lately. A little bit cheaper alternative to those chase bliss pedals I guess. Great demo and intro/ending tracks as always!
SOLD! I was looking for a replacement for my SuperEgo - I play the Chapman Stick and LOVE the GameChanger Audio PLUS pedal for my bass side of the Stick - LOVE the feel of pressing the foot pedal for swelling and drones like a piano pedal sustain pedal BUT this I can use one the lead string's on auto capture mode as it's pretty hard using both feet doing swells and drones on each chain simultaneously! I play ambient music and a fusion of other genres and constantly CHASING the SWEET tones that live within ambient spaces :) I've seen a few demo's of this pedal - some great one's too BUT your demo was the TOP's for my ear's and eyes! Very well done audibly AND with the notation's explaining current setting's!!! BIG THANK YOU!
Always a pleasure to watch a pedal demo on your channel. I thought you would of paired it up with the Joshua. Did you keep the Joshua or was it not quite your cup of tea? Been on the fence about it honestly. Not sure what to look for/what I want in a delay pedal. Thanks for the demos. Until next time.
@@joshuanedzweckas9668 I did not keep the Joshua-nothing wrong with it, I just have limited storage space and have to move some stuff every so often, and I have plenty of delay already. Only way to know what you like personally though is to just try out as much as you can 🤷🏻♂️
oh, wow,, you used the Mood as well.. ! Really good video, thanks so much. I’ve recently decided to get into the pedalboard craze…. and i have been digging into my very 1st top 3..or 5.. hehehe.. to add some flavor to Amplitube..as it.. sooner or later renders too generic. The Layers & the new Mood 2 are my 1st picks, most definitely. I’m a sucker for these kinds of options.. walls of sounds and atmospheric stuff.. delays.. etc.. I was thinking of closing it up with the Microcosm .. but i am starting to think it might be a bit redundant.. with the 1st two. What do you reckon ? I’ll use them in a more jazzy post-rock, and not only with guitars..but also bass, and mallet percussion.
I agree with you for the most part, with the exception of the Carbon Copy Delay. That pedal has been around for over a decade and has more character than any pedal I’ve ever played. You can get incredible ambient washes if you place a reverb before it, increase the delay time, and turn on the modulation. It has a beautiful dark delay tone.
Strongly disagree, mxr has by far the best bass preamps and awesome overdrives and reverb. Maybe doesn't fit your musical needs but they're not vanilla at all.
It's legit! The Fortin Cali Suite sounds rad and I know you use the Nolly one a lot, so you know how nice the whole workflow is. If anything I'm just on the fence about dirt pedals with it-I think what comes out is perfectly good, I just haven't yet found a setup that sounds/feels quite like pedals with my real amps. But there are so many variables to that, with some more time and tinkering I'm sure I could get it in the ballpark. (Also just so no one gets confused, I used my Marshall 2525H Silver Jubilee in the intro and then the rest is NDSP Fortin Cali Suite. Just made things a lot easier when switching between mono and stereo for this one.)
@@ambienttrash5234 Thanks for such a detailed response! I thought the demo sounds were super round like a fender amp but had that higher presence from a Marshall or 5150... Actually really interested in that plugin now! I can totally understand where you're coming from about the drive sounds, you have some of the best drive sounds in the game so keep doing what you're doing! Lol.
I had no idea MXR had this kind of thing in them, it's really wonderful. Also your sounds with it are *so* gorgeous
@@medulasa1 right?! Was very pleasantly surprised by it
@@deathsee not quite following what you're saying here
The MXR M300 Reverb is also amazing for ambient, especially the Mod and Epic modes.
@@deathseeseems like this pedal is too complex for you.
@@deathseealways one person bitching...
This is pure fire... the music crushes as always. It even makes me think i might be smart enough to use this pedal.

havent owned an mxr pedal in like 15 years, this thing sounds amazing!
I really dig this pedal!

This sounds so awesome in stereo. Definitely need to make some room for this on my board. Thanks for the killer demo!
That intro song...incredible!
what a damn good demo.
I just didn't know I needed this pedal until now
Came to see a demo….and discovered this awesome tune!
Fantastic demo. Thanks.
Sick demo, man!
sweet. my semi-annual ambient trash fee (buying a new pedal) is here
gorgeous melodies
wonderful device ❤
This with something like the Walrus Audio Lore or fable...I mean the possibilities are endless
I just picked up a deep freeze, but now this got me like 😲🌌💖

Shoegaze heaven
Is the output jack TRS?
Amazing demo. You are using this as it was intended. Wonderfully done.
thank you, yup it's TRS in and out (but regular TS works fine in mono I/O)

MY FINGERS
ARE BLISTERED
Using a pedal to glitch the filtered drums? Love the intro track and the mix.
thanks! Used some dotted 8th delay on the intro drums, into the Illformed Glitch 2 plugin and then a bunch of filtering
@@ambienttrash5234 🤘
@@ambienttrash5234glitch2 has been my secret weapon for YEARS - try buffer override, you’ll love it
MXR has always seemed a very vanilla kinda company, finally making something with some color and flavor.
It’s black

how does this MXR layers compare to the EH Superego+?
Yo just curious, I'm loving the sound of you with the NDSP plugin. What're your thoughts on it?
It's legit! The Fortin Cali Suite sounds rad and I know you use the Nolly one a lot, so you know how nice the whole workflow is. If anything I'm just on the fence about dirt pedals with it-I think what comes out is perfectly good, I just haven't yet found a setup that sounds/feels quite like pedals with my real amps.

Im still surprised your tech didn’t shield the body cavity
A demo that actually shows u how to use it!. Smoke a big fat gorilla finger and off u go!. This pedal is great!!😊😊😊😊
Can this replace the freeze pedal?
@@losangulos pretty much, just turn the trig knob all the way down for manual sustain and it’s a three layer freeze
WRHB?
yup from Black Mass Electronics
Cool pedal, but that bass tone…
