Idk how you make every pedal sound like the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
Gosh! That’s unbelievably kind of you ❤️❤️❤️
@@thepedalzoneit’s so true! You’re an inspiring artist and you deserve all the love and admiration you receive! And we are all rooting for you too!!!
On a side note, I currently live in America, but will be moving to
Poland in a few months, so if I’m in the market for new gear, you’ll be my new go to supplier 🥰
Best wishes,
Adam
After countless years of searching, I think I may have just found the pedal I was always looking for. For that alone, I thank you sir 🙏
That's very awesome to hear! This pedal is a dream. You're gonna love it.
Still one of my go to channels for reviews and inspiration. Well done man!
Thank you for the continuous support. Means the world to me 🙌
Didn't think it was for me... but now it's calling me!
Really awesome to hear I was able to give a different perspective on this pedal. It's just phenomenal!
That’s awesome. But don’t commit violence after playing the pedal though
You have this uncanny way of making every pedal you demo sound like the one I've been waiting for all my life.
Gosh! Deeply honored
I've been playing my for two months now and WOW! I am a sucker for stereo pedals, I have this ad the end of my board. My favorite setting right now is a slight stereo image / chorus with a little distortion. The Violence side is amazing when you run other reverbs and delays into it. I love sticking stereo pedals at the end of the chain, because I feel it essentially turns any mono pedal/board into stereo and this does it the best. I think of it as a Strymon Deco that went to college and started listening to MBV and became really cool. I love this thing.
Hahahaha! Strymon Deco that started listening to MBV. This is the best pedal description I've ever encountered. Thank you so much for the laugh. And I totally think you're right. There's no better way to describe this amazing pedal ❤
the microfreak part at the end may have just sold me!
Happy you enjoyed that example. This pedal is stellar on synths
This pedal in incredible ! Thanks for allowing us to have it on your website !
Happy you like it. It's just mind-blowingly good. I'm deeply honored to be able to offer it in the EU. Can't thank OBNE enough for their support and confidence in me and the shop
Finally I've found a pedal guy that shows something beyond blues riffs. Beautiful, inspiring playing, sir!
As always, a great video. Such an amazing sounding pedal.
A collaboration between you and Chords of Orion would be earth shattering awesomeness.
Thank you! Means a ton to me. Bill is an amazing ambient musician. Big fan of his work
I second this!
When you kick on the Screen at 8:27 🙌 been playing that riff in my head for dayssss, just beautiful man.
Awwwww, thanks! Honored to hear that the tones and tunes resonate with you ❤
Old Blood is my fave pedal co. Brady and boys are so cool and sooo creative. Best demo of this pedal I've seen. Your song in the beginning is incredibly good!!!! Cheers from Detroit Michigan. ✌
The Old Blood family is something truly special. I love their approach to pedal design, and I feel they are consistently one of the most (if not THE most), innovative pedal brands out there. Really honored to hear you enjoyed the demo so much. Means the world to me
@@thepedalzone You're more than welcome. I subscribed to you're channel over a year ago when I discovered OBNE. You had Brady on as a guest and you guys were playing around with 3 or 4 of their pedals. I bought the Darkstar right away!!! I still want the Dweller. Hell, I want them all!!! Hahahaa. Have a nice day and keep up the great videos!
This and Walrus Audio Melee are HIGH on my dream Pedal Board.
Hope you get to try them. Screen Violence is killer! I never turn it off. Has basically become the core foundation for my sound
I love the astronaut pickguard, it really completes the scene for the first song. Wonderful demo as always.
Thank you! I'm absolutely obsessed with Indra Guitars pickguard work. He's a wizard.
Welcome to another episode of: "How high can I set the bar before even I can't beat it?" But seriously, you made this sound absolutely amazing! And the fact that they are available in Europe now might be the perfect excuse to get one ;D
Humbled and speechless.... Thank you so much for such an epically sweet and kind comment. Made my day
@@thepedalzone Also, a huge thank you for the one comment/answer to a comment you made actually quite a while ago! I don't remember how it went exactly, but it was something along the lines off: "I'm not that great of a player, I just know how to make my ideas/imagination reality", and that has stuck with me ever since, because it really encouraged me :)
Been waiting for you to cover this pedal. You never disappoint! Cheers.
Happy to hear it was worth the wait. Thank you ❤️
Nailed it man! Thanks for all your hard work dude it is truly inspiring
Thank you SO MUCH!
Beautiful post in every way...
Thank you 🌹
Thank you very much!
Your tones and compositions are always so immaculate but this one sticks out as particularly special and just objectively good in so many ways. Excellent work!
Thank you so much! This pedal is particularly special to me, so I'm happy to hear that the feeling translated through the sounds and sights :)
Awesome stuff. Love the way you play.
Thank you so much!!
Just awesome 🙌👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
Amazing!
Thank you!
This was one of my fav pedals of 2022 and is still a very vital pedal on my board. I love it so so much, its their first stereo pedal and they knocked it out of the park! Loved the sounds you created here and being a way for people to get one on your side of the pond. It’s such a wonderful sonic joy to play.
Definitely an instant fave of mine as well. It just sounds so good, and it's absolutely monumental in stereo. I'm impressed by how many sounds they packed into this incredibly simple interface. Pure genius. Thanks for the kind words about the demo, Jo. Always means a lot to me :)
I'm glad that so many great pedals get played by you!
Thank you very much! It's the honor of a life time getting to experience the golden age of pedals like this. I'm definitely not taking it for granted :)
Man, too good. This was a very welcome notification to get today, that's definitely a pedal that belongs in your collection. Also, having the drums was really cool! Loved getting to hear both full mix and solo stuff. Cheers!
Thank you so much! Means the world to me that you enjoyed the tunes and tones. And yes, I’m pumped I finally got the chance to check out this pedal. It’s everything I hoped for and more
Oh yes! The ending demo!! I'm glad we exist in the same era Stefan.
Thank you! This thing is just epic on synths
What a perfect way to demonstrate how damn cool this pedal is! Wonderful songwriting. Gave me chills. And I'm a sucker for your synth section. Great work sir, bloody incredible pedal.
Thank you, my dear Doug. Thank you so much
Awesome dude! Just awesome!
Thank you so much!!
You’re awesome men, love your videos
Awwww! Thank you so much ❤️
To be honest, ever since I saw this pedal first announced, I was waiting for your review. It was well worth the wait! 👍
Hey, I've been feeling the exact same thing. Ever since it got announced I wanted to get my hands on it, but it was just not the right time for it. Now the time is here, and I'm so happy with how it all turned out. Honored to hear you think it was worth the wait as well
The music you made in this one is so good. You really highlighted the ability of the pedal -- but I could use a dose of your talent as well.
I'm really honored to hear you think I did the pedal justice, and that you enjoyed the intro tune. Means a lot to me. And trust me, you are talented. I'm nothing special. I just try to play the stuff I hear in my head, and you can totally do that as well. I definitely believe in you ❤
LOVE the song you wrote at the beginning. And great work showing off the surprising versatility of this pedal. I got mine as soon as it was announced and it hasn't left my board since. I love to run my Plumes at low gain into screen, then into violence, then into the amp with a sunlight reverb in the fx loop. It's got a doomgaze vibe to it that I'm obsessed with. Glad you finally got to use it!
Thank you so much! I'm happy to hear you think my demo highlighted the versatility of this pedal, because it is indeed a surprising wealth of useful tones that are hidden behind that ultra-simple user interface. OBNE killed it with this one. Happy to hear you already have one, and that you're enjoying it. Sounds like a wicked combo you got going on there with Screen Violence, Plumes and Sunlight 🤘
Always happy to see a new video from you!! Hope your doing great Stefan!! OBNE has some of the best pedals! So cool they available in your area on your site now!!! Dude the synth part was absolutely incredible!!
Thank you so much for the kind and supportive words. Always means a lot to me. It's an absolute honor to have this pedal and the rest of the OBNE lineup in my shop. They are the absolute best of the best.
WOW just a beautiful creation. Man, you should put out an album of your demo songs. Now there is another pedal I want!!
Thank you so much for all the kindness, my friend!
Nice transition to the the stacked mode demonstration.
Thank you! I’m really happy about that as well 😊
Cool song Stefan. Good use of the Screen Violence.
Thanks, Bob! Means a lot coming from you ❤
That intro jam is a banger! very well done once again.
Also this is heck of a cool pedal and it's super cool that this is now available in the EU. love mine so much.
Thank you so much, my friend. I’ve watched your Screen Violence videos so many times. They’ve been super inspiring to me 🙏
@@thepedalzone way to kind of you
DUDE!!!!! your post rock song is fucking EPIC!!!!!
Thank you so much, Jason! Means a ton to me. Love your channel and your playing style, bud. Keep up the great work
What a cool song that you wrote man wow !!!
I seriously can’t tell you how much I love your channel and how much I get inspired by your videos to write new songs by myself for my post rock band.
If you get the chance you should definitely try other offerings for this type of pedal from Polar Beat effects from Croatia and Holy Island Audio from the UK. Both absolutely stunning pedals.
Take care dude ❤
Awwww, man! Thank you so much. Your kindness goes straight to heart ❤ Yeah, Polarbear and Holy Island seem like pretty cool brands. Hope to check them out in the future.
That sounded so fucken SICK.
THANK YOU!
Hi Stefan, thank you for yet another great demo! I’ve had the Screen Violence for awhile & it does amazing things. I just haven’t been able to fit it into my regular board, which is wah > Pitchfork > Black Fountain > MXR Carbon Copy > Walrus Fathom (or Neunaber Wet) > Fabrikat > Looper.
I tried putting it in place of the Fabrikat, and while it sounded great, I missed the Fab & all it does. Tonight I tried taking out both the Carbon Copy & Fathom & putting SV in there….I’m just not sure the Screen Violence and Fabrikat get along, though :( They both have strong personalities, and things are complicated by the fact that I play violin, not guitar, and the tone felt a bit overwhelmed.
Still, I could see where a shoegaze guitarist would love this pedal. Violinists have somewhat different needs, but I plan on keeping this around as a change of pace pedal for studio use. Thank you for inspiring me to dig into it more!
Great reviews of a great pedal. It's great to see some of the US devices being marketed over here.
PS, I've just discovered that you can't ship to the UK at present. I find this a lot since my neighbours voted to cut ties with our biggest trading partner. I used to build a few pedals. I used to ship 30% abroad, I stopped in the end. There were too many complications for me and my customers.
Great video and sounds. Where would you put this in your chain?
Man I like your style. Allways have. So recognizably you! 👍
I’m honored to hear that you think my playing style is recognizable. Guess that’s what most musicians aspire to, to achieve some sort of sonic signature, so it means a lot to me that you think I’ve found it ❤️
Brilliant! Your demos are the best. Do I have to move to Europe to get this edition? 😅
Thank you so much!! Yeah, come to Europe and let's hang. We have rugbrød, rødgrød and hygge :)
I had no idea this was a distortion/reverb two in one pedal. I remember seeing on OBNE site but couldn't really tell what it was about nor did I see to many people talking about it. Thanks for bringing out this video for us to get a glimpse of this pedal. I think the Screen Violence sounds much better than the When the sun explodes, at least imo. (though when the sun explodes has possibly the coolest art on a pedal) Didn't like the sound of the distortion on the Sun explodes, the reverb was great though. This seems like a solid combo of both.
Also, is your J. Mascis Jazzmaster pick ups stock or did you switch them out? I had to sell my Mascis Jazzmaster 2 years ago when money was tight and have been really missing it. Sucks that its also discontinued as of now so you can only get it secondhand. That Jazzmaster totally changed my opinion on Squier just being cheap crappy beginner guitars.
This is Rock 'N Roll. No.. no, Post Rock 'N Roll. You rock!
Awwww! Thank you so much!
You are welcome! But seriously, make an album. I start watching your videos for the pedals and then I end up fast forwarding back to the tunes. It would be way more convenient if there was at least a playlist... 😅
Wow that’s very Casey of you to just do that to us
There's some hip slang going on here that I'm too old to understand. Very Casey of me???
Haha I was referring to the post-hardcore band Casey. Your song reminded me of them mixed with some explosions in the sky good stuff man. Absolutely incredible tones, you gained another subscriber ❤
Wow! Sounds really good, and You should do a demo of the Boss Ir200 I'm finding the tone tasty, what settings do You use!
Cheers! Happy you enjoyed the sounds. Sure, I can do a video on how I use the IR200. My use is honestly very basic though, just a slight variation of Preset 1. That Natural amp sounds amazing to my ears. A really great pedal platform sound.
Reminds me of the Blue Sky
Okay. Don't have much experience with that pedal
Tbh, that colorway is better than the original. Wish we could have that in the states
Thank you! I'm pretty pumped about it as well. Just looks divine
I can't believed! So many sounds in one box. AWESOME! Stefan, what the drum VST are you used in this video?
Yeah, this thing is deceptively versatile. The controls are so bone-head simple, but together they hold so many incredible tones and textures. OBNE and CHVRCHES really knocked it out of the park with Screen Violence. The drum VST is Toontrack Ezdrummer 3 with their Post-rock EZX Expansion Pack installed.
@@thepedalzone thank you for answer, Stefan
Hi, I'm one of the newer members of your cult! 😅
Love the content. I must ask, where did you get these awesome pickguards?
Welcome! Awesome to have you here. And thank you for the kind words ❤ Regarding the pickguard, it was made by Indra Guitars. He's amazing to work with.
Have to say I loved your playing here - so where do I find your music?
Thank you so much! Don't have any solo music out, but you're welcome to check out my former bands "Sky Architects", "Don't Come Looking For Us" and "Cloud Anthems"
Also, btw when did you buy your Baum Wingman you are playing here, as it seems (from the colour) the same year as my Baum Backwing? I bought mine in June. I will eventually buy the Wingman too 😅
I got it in February this year. It's such a great guitar. Love it!
@@thepedalzone Yes, it is my favourite guitar brand, by far!
intro song is amazing please tell me its something you are planning to release or have released?
Honored to hear you enjoyed the tunes so much. No real plans for releasing it in any capacity right now. Have thought about making Bandcamp demo compilations though. Definitely more motivated to make it happen, now that it seems like some of you would want to listen to it :)
@@thepedalzone i would love to listen to those songs! Also got a question: How do you think the screen violence compares to the walrus audio joystick pedal? And are you planning on making a comparison vid?
You are my Eddie Van Halen as far as guitar goes. What tuning are you using on this total jam?
Well that's a first. Wow! Thank you so much. Beyond humbled and honored here
Hello, again I would like to get an OBNE reverb/delay to go infront of my BOSS OS-2 Distortion to get similar giant distorted sounds like yours in this video but without copying the CHVRCHES sound completely. Do you think the OBNE Dark Star would do the trick? If not please recommend something else, preferably from your store, as I owe you my introduction to Postrock gear, sounds and techniques. It's my favourite channel.
I think Dark Star would be too dark and dense in its voicing, if what you're after is something similar to Screen Violence. Then OBNE Sunlight is probably more what you're after. I have a demo fo that pedal on my channel as well, and it's also available in my store. Thank you for the kind words and support. Can't express how much it means to me ❤
@@thepedalzone Thanks a lot!
BTW, I would like to use it before distortion, like Screen before Violence. Do you think the Sunlight would do it, like in this video? A very early chain reverb, including clean-ish sounds. Please, let me know so I make an informed decision😊
Do you have a album out?
Not an album but a full soundtrack, right here: ua-cam.com/video/lnIkHy1rtXQ/v-deo.html
Where is it available in Europe?
At my online shop: thepedalzone.com
@@thepedalzone ty!
👀
🙌
Genuine question: Has Stefan ever written a bad riff???
Absolutely tons of them. Writing bad riffs is the only way to get to the good riffs 😊
@@thepedalzone NO ONE BELIEVES YOU! Love your playing, love your positivity, love your channel. I dream of making an album around your riffs, one day. Everything's so inspirational, keep up the amazing work.
Best guitar pedal channel on youtube. Love your content, but you cost me a lot of money...lol
Oh boy! Thank you so much. Your kind comment really made my morning go from meh to marvellous ❤
Do you like Tristeza?
I definitely do now! Hadn't heard about them before, but quickly gave it a listen after reading your comment. Sounds so good! Thanks for the recommendation :)
P90s should not do that! I know they are more JM type but still! amazing. searching for pedals before xmas !! shh
If you're referring to my Jazzmaster, then it's equipped with a Jazzmaster set from Righteous Sound pickups. So it's not the stock pickups you're hearing :)
Would you please please PLEASE consider offering Paypal or Banktransfer in the Pedalzone online shop? I was just about to order this pedal and then realised I don't even have a creditcard 😢
We do bank transfers. Just reach out to sales@thepedalzone.com and we'll get you sorted :)
Done! 😊 Awesome! Really looking forward to putting the Screen Violence after my Memory Man with Hazarai for some massively overdriven pingpong drones ❤
What a beautiful car crash,i cannot turn away.
That would actually be a pretty killer post-rock song title 👌
The term Post-Rock shares the same douchebaggery as Elevated Horror created by critics trying to coin buzzwords. It's instrumental rock FFS Stop Posing or call it Poser-Rock since you are so insistent on trying to be different while not and still keeping the word Rock in it. Cool pedal
Post-Rock just means that you take the "normal" instrument set of rock (guitar, bass, drums) and add or substract instruments/effects to achieve something different from normal/classic (or even instrumental) rock. That's literally what Stephan does here, so maybe check your definitions before calling someone (or even an entire genre) a poser
Post rock is its own distinctive thing. Its not our fault you can't handle subgenres existing
All the flavours in the world and you choose to be salty.
