Another thing I discovered while working on this video is that the delay effect is always coloring your tone, even if the blend is on zero and no repeats are audible. There's a volume boost happening, and a little bit of EQ warmth. (You could think of it as the Echoplex-preamp sound, sort of.) I left this out of the video to keep it short, but for a while I was thinking of giving a Pro-Tip #0, which would be to leave the pedal on all the time, just to get the benefit of that delay color. Instead of turning it off, just reduce the blend to zero.
Keeley Dark Side V1 was one of my first pedals, acquired about 20 years into hobbyist musicianship, but this is far from being the first video of yours I’ve enjoyed; it’s nice that an early pedal and a later viewing have finally joined forces for me, and after I’d recently been using my somewhat neglected (but still beloved) Dark Side, no less.
@@CyberattackWorld Because the V1 has the TRS breakout that allows the two sides to be used independently, I discovered that one of my favorite sounds is to run a DOD Carcosa fuzz into Dark Side’s Univibe. I don’t know how hardcore and/or advanced that is, but I mention it out of my affinity for your spirit and practice of doing the unusual and exploring new territory. Now I have to turn my dozen+ synths, iPad with Korg Gadget, et al. into an OP-1, so I don’t need to feel like I “should” get an OP-1.
I just spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out which 90s video game Pro-Tip #2's music came from. I finally remembered it was Chun-Li's theme, but not before I listened to every track on the Chrono Trigger, FFVI, and Civ1 soundtracks trying to find it.
never be embarrassed, yours was an incredible journey. i love that you went nuts BUT ALSO got to the bototm of it. and also, just BTW, I do cover Chrono Trigger at the end of my Thermae video
Sharing as many vids of your's as politely possible, I hope you get major traction bro(not much from me but the community as a whole). Dude, ya got a great thing going 🙂
I picked up an Alexander Syntax Error 2, and the screen stopped working after 2 mins... so now Im turned off by that, and was looking at the Keeley Dark Side... Not sure what pedal to go with... mostly for synths, but also for a Space Cat Dub Siren I have coming. Id live to hear your thoughts.
I would love to get the dark side pedal for experimentation and psych/drone rock not to sound like david gilmour, you should try the loomer and see what you come up with :)
I can never nail that tone , I get very frustrated trying to copy ( being Perfect ) but when I create my own grooves how ever simplistic I feel good , like I made some head way . If you want to be alone start banging on a guitar .....they'll leave .
My favourite multi. My only multi. I love my V.1, and have the "Echoes" delay which is the Binson side modified and juiced up with 3 modes. Love the tip for mode 12. I wonder if I use it for the DS and Echoes delay will I be able to sound faster than Malmsteen..

Yep. The V2 colours the tone more than the V1 (idk why). I've owned both.
@@mattgilbert7347 good to know, thank you. I’ve only played V2
The fact that this channel isn't the biggest thing in guitar UA-cam is a crime. Every single one of these videos is so fucking good
thanks man, we'll get there
Agreed, far and away better than other music gear channels
@@Blacktarprophecies thank you!
But then you’d trash it for being popular and selling out
The production quality on these videos are out of this world. Underrated channel 👏
thank you ded grl
You had me at “Nor should you be watching this video” 😆
I'm glad. That line is basically there to screen for people with my sense of humor.
This is one of the best UA-cam vids I’ve ever seen
thanks man

that's really awesome, thanks for the comment

That’s awesome and I wish you luck on your quest to glitch your existing gear into op-1 territory, that sounds like an awesome project

my mind is officially fragmented into 80's glitch video game madness. You sir are a genius. 🤯🤯🤯
glad i could help
I love the message you are sending out. It is all abot what you compose. Thats all folks!!!- Thank God somone eslse thinks like me-Great video sir.
First time watching one of your vids. I love the animations and the effort you put in to make it. Subscribed. Thanks man!
Sharing as many vids of your's as politely possible, I hope you get major traction bro(not much from me but the community as a whole). Dude, ya got a great thing going 🙂
my man
It’s my side and I’ll make it dark if I want to. Another great cover
Glad you caught that one
bro i wasn't ready for homie to start walking on esplanade at 7:12
i like the sounds thank you
ESPLANADE
Just got the Darkside and love it, great video man! Instant sub!

Loved your PS6 video so found this. Love my Dark Side pedal so love this video double, or squared. Anyway it's excellent, thanks.
Thanks, welcome aboard

you rock, man !
thanks
Wtf this is the best vidoe of this I've ever seen
welcome to the channel
Excellent and informative video.
Need an episode on Superego plus. Not a lot of info out there. Love the hard-core series
I don't have one of those but I always like messing around with them at guitar stores
Finally somebody gets it...Keeley workstation pedals are a toolkit of sound. Sure you can use them for the intended purpose or not.🙄🤔😊
Great fresh ideas here 👍
I wish keely made a version of this pedal without the fuzz side. Kind of how they did the realizer pedal
I have been tempted to get this pedal, and I am a DRUMMER!! 😂
these are the impossible decisions
You are awesome man! I would love to have this type of stuff for bass :/ but I can use some of your ideas and adapt for my bass :)
i wish i was a real bass player dude

That is the dream
damn this pedal looks sick! really dig that esplanade jam too
Thanks man, the esplanade is a magical place
Do you recommend dropping acid before I attempt to use this pedal?
just watching this video should have close to the same effect, but if you don't get all the way there, then do whatever it takes
Terrible Lie!
And is that the Ryu music from SF2? Man you always got the jams.
TERRIBLE LIE!!! the other one is actually Chun Li but I’m glad you caught it. I’ve said this before but we have the same taste g funk
