    What a start to the day! Always a treat to see you demo something we’ve spent so much time on. Because it starts with “he gets the pedal.” Then goes to “oh how cool, he’s finding the fun edges I knew were there but don’t think to mention.” And then finally, “oh my! He’s plugging in the ramper and I would never have thought to make these beautiful sounds in that way.”

      Dan, I can’t put into words how much this means to me. I hope a humble thank you will suffice. You’ve turned a Digital Signal Processor into a Dream Sounds Provider. I’m head over heels in love with it and I have you and the rest of the OBNE team to thank for this. Thank you for creating this and thank you for the opportunity to play through it. I’m forever grateful ❤️

    At around 9pm last night I almost reassured my wife that I had enough pedals. It’s 5am and I wake up to The Pedal Zone’s musical bliss, and realize how close I came to making a promise I couldn’t keep. It’s not even been 12 hours… Thank you Stefan for reminding me that I should never say those words, “Honey, I think I have all the pedals I want.”

    Aside from the large form factor, this is a perfect pedal! I have the V2 and will definitely be getting this one. It should be mentioned that the V3 has moved on from the FV-1 digital chip, so it should have even higher audio quality (on top of stereo and all the other features). This is a gamechanger for OBNE!

    Excellent demonstration of its capabilities, as always. The original Dark Star is legendary and this version offers much to get excited about. The 2 octave up/down instead of 1 is a nice touch. The expression controllable filter knob is the real game changer here though. I'm not looking to go back to a stereo rig, but if I were, this would be an absolute must. If reduced to only 2 pedals for the rest of my life, the original Dark Star run into the Earthquaker Dispatch Master would keep me supplied with ample ambient bliss. I'd love to hear this new Dark Star with the Expression Ramper sweeping the filter, like you showed, feeding into an Avalanche Run. That's gotta be the stuff dreams are made of.

Especially when I saw what weird soundscapes it can create with EQD Transmisser ;) I was eyeing for it, but after I got myself more into synths world, practicality won over desire as monophonic pedals with stereo synths were too much of a downgrade for me.

    • @thepedalzone
      @thepedalzone  16 годин тому

      V1 didn’t have expression and the Hold switch “only” let you sustain the reverb infinitely. V2 was upgraded with expression input, and an internal toggle switch was implemented to let you toggle between if Hold/Expression should affect Reverb Decay or CTRL1 (pitch-shift or pre-delay depending on mode selected), and I also believe the Reverb Mix pot got a slightly different taper to make the reverb a bit more present. V1 and V2 are built on the same chip (the FV-1 spin chip). The new Dark Star Stereo (which you’ve just watched a demo of 😊) is based on a completely different chipset (ARM processor) and is way more powerful both when it comes to sound quality and features. So if you can afford this version, then definitely get this one! It’s phenomenal!

    Question here: I like my Dark Star to be quite early in the chain... how do you make a stereo pedal work in that situation, if you want to add other mono modulations pedals after it?

    • @Norgoroth666
      @Norgoroth666 15 годин тому

      Unfortunately all mono pedals will sum the input and defeat the stereo image. If you're running a stereo or W/DW rig (2 or 3 separate amps) you could do something unorthodox and run two separate mono chains from the DSv3 using a TRS Y-split cable and apply the mono effects across the different signal chains.
      Or you could go down in history as a legend by running an OBNE beam splitter first in the chain, run three mono chains out of it, split one of them into two using DSv3, giving you four total chains.

    Great stuff (both the pedal and the playing in the demos, like always)! I have a question for you: I got the original Dark Star, with your videos being one of the deciding factors in convincing me it was what I wanted. I remember you recommending putting it early in your chain for integrating all the textural stuff into it, and I've done that myself. I'm curious how you think that advice applies to the new Dark Star? Because of the wide, enveloping stereo sound, this feel like a much more ambient reverb that belongs near the end of a chain to me-do you agree? Not that there are any right or wrong answers with pedal placement and it all depends on what you want to accomplish, etc., I know, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

    • @thepedalzone
      @thepedalzone  22 години тому +2

      Thanks for the kind words, man. Means a lot. And I'm honored to hear that my original Dark Star demo played a part in you picking one up. Yeah, I liked the original one early in the chain, due to its transformative powers, plus it sounded great into dirt. The new Dark Star Stereo has in-built overdrive, so you can easily get those dirty ambient tones without placing it early in the chain like the old one. That said, I would probably place it early in the chain in relation to where it begins to split into stereo for me. So I would probably place it before my more normal stereo reverb. I haven't put it on my board yet, but will probably place it in between my stereo delay and stereo reverb, but let's see where inspiration and exploration takes me :)

      Well, V1 is a different user interface and built on a different chipset which is more "lo-fi" compared to the high-powered ARM processor the new one uses. But unless you prefer the more compact nature of the old one, then the new one beats it on every single parameter possible.

      Yes, normal TS cables work. But if you want to use it in stereo, then you’ll at least need one TRS adapter/breakout cable. You can set it up for mono in and stereo out. That’s what I’m doing throughout this demo.

    • @Norgoroth666

      Regular TS cables will work for mono. If you want to run this in stereo it needs a TRS to TRS out into the next stereo pedal in the chain (if it has a stereo TRS input) or TRS Y-split cable if it has Left/Right stereo inputs.

      @@spacefish4471just a guess but typically 128 as MIDI uses 7 bits for the Patch Change message PC. Boss uses bank change as well to have a higher number of patches.

      Checked manual. Yes, 128. You hold the preset switch for five seconds (or send CC 25 0), send the PC preset number 0-127, adjust your settings on the pedal (if not already set) then hold the preset button down for five seconds (or send CC 25 127) and that preset is saved for that PC number. Next time the pedal receives that PC number, it will load those settings.

      Cool! I'm a classic introvert, so people typically tell me that I'm too quiet. So it's cool to have a platform where I can actually be accused of talking too much 😊 I wish you a great day full of just the right amount of chatter
