I had a strict, long running "no more side jacks" policy for pedals until I heard the SolidGoldFX Apollo II phaser. Bought it. Have bought 12 more of Greg's pedals, all with side jacks. LOL. I guess my 14th SolidGoldFX will have top mount jacks! Greg - please don't reissue those other pedals with top jacks. My wife will hunt you down.....
The synth is so exactly The Cure 1981's "Faith" period ! so nostalgic !!! it reminds me their video "staring at the sea" for those who know ... waw fantastic !!!
The pedal companies set a contracted date upon which these pedal review channels will release their video to debate the new pedal. i.e. it's not a coincidence that two or more channels review the same pedal on the same day.
Wow! You got some really great tones out of that thing. I would have probably written it off as just another Flanger that I don't need, but I really did like some of the Chorus-ish, rotary-ish, vibe-ish stuff that you were playing.
awesome stuff man!! you implementation of synth stuff and drum patterns are invaluable to somebody like me who doesnt play guitar but look to pedals for effects for my other equipment!! very cool stuff as always, and if this is trend for future videos to come, then this will be the one stop shop for pedals review and over views!! nice stuff brotha
I've owned an Electric Mistress, an 80's Ibanez Flanger and an ADA Flanger. All were quite excellent in their day. This sounds like another great one . Awesome work Stephan.
Great demo! You really explore "out of the box" possibilities here. Not crazy on flangers, but this sounds more versatile and interesting than most flanger pedals I've heard. Plus, bit crush is always an instant win for me.
I'm not crazy about flangers either, but I love the Oblivion. Like I say in the beginning of the video, this is not your run of the mill flanging device. This thing is a sound designers dream flanger. So much fun! And yes, that degrade function is where it's at!
CV in is rad, I wish more pedal companies did this. 10:20 might be my favorite guitar part yet. And the last beat is doooope! As always well done Stephan!
CV always opens up fun creative doorways! And thank you for the kind words about that guitar part. I really enjoyed coming up with that progression as well 🙏 Drums + Flanging has always been cool actually, but now you can add freaking bit crushing on top of that at the same time. GAME. CHANGED!! It just sounds so good! As always, thank you for the kindness and support, my friend. Always means a lot ❤
Wow! What a box of experiments that is. I have always loved flanger effects so it's great to see this hugely significant pedal out there. In your hands Stefan this is a creative paintbox of beauty that will inspire us all.
Awww, man! Thank you! If you dig flangers, then you'll absolutely love the Oblivion. Is just insanely inspiring and chock-full of different modulation tones of both the earthly and alien kind 😊
I’m exactly in the same situation, bud. I’m typically not into flangers, but when they’re as fun and innovative as the Oblivion, then I don’t mind reconsidering my position on flange. This thing is awesome! 😊
I’ve said “I hate flangers” a lot of times. And I still stand by it. Classic flangers aren’t for me. But some creations stand out and take flanging to new unexpected creative places. Those flangers include the EQD Pyramids, OBNE Flat Light and now the SolidGoldFX Oblivion. So I guess there’s 3 flangers I like now 😊 Happy you liked the demo 🙏
Cheers, man. Happy you dig it. This is definitely one of the most fun and unique modulation pedals I've ever played. SolidGoldFX have been killing it this year
The whole time I was thinking: "This is cool, but when is he gonna bust out the drum machine?" 🤣🤣 Gotta love those mangled beats, lol. In all seriousness though, dope video, fam! 😉 💥💯🤘👌
I really like the format of your demos! The riffs, licks, and overall sonic environments you create with the various pedals you demo are very inspiring. The lick at 10:24 would be a great intro to a song. Reminds me of Distant Dream.
Funnily enough, I pondered myself the question when I was playing the Boss Phaser, probably PH-3? with stage selection, years ago, when I thought... If phasers can have multiple stages... Why don't flangers have that? And this pedal makes us ponder: why wasn't there a multistage flanger like this before?
Ahhhhh that's crazy, the guitar part is as good as the synth moment. I think that each pedal has a kind of specific music style that goes along with it and you seem to know in advance which will be the best example. Please never stop your demos though you seriously put our budgets at risk.
Thank you very much! 🙏 Well, not all flangers are created equal. The Oblivion is definitely in a league of its own. It’s too much fun. Can’t get enough of that degrade function 👾
ThePedalZone You got an awesome point man and the Oblivion looks like reinvented the flanging game! Yeah man, that degrade feature is totally new for me especially being present feature on a flanger! 🤯
I honestly don’t know. I’ve never tried that pedal. But you can definitely get some lush and unique chorus-type sounds out of the Oblivion. Its more subtle modulation types are way more interesting to my ears than classic chorus

Amazing video as all in your channel Stefan. Thanks a lot! Sorry for ask this in this particular video but I would be extremely happy if you could recommend me which mics you use for your amps. I love your sound and I wonder what mics you recommend for recordings. Thanks a lot in advance Stefan!
Thank you so much, man! I use Aston mics. My Revv D20 is mic'd with an Aston Stealth and my Fender Deluxe Reverb is mic'd with an Aston Spirit. I also used an Aston Origin back in the day when the channel was starting out. You just can't go wrong with Aston. You get incredible value for the money.

@@thepedalzone Thanks a lot Stefan! Your answer was extremely helpful for me!! All the best from Argentina
Hey Stefan, like always great demo. Would you say this pedal has decent chorus/vibe capability with the regens at 0 or does it only half-heartedly do chorus/vibe and is mostly a super-flanger at heart? Torn between this and the Digitech Nautila. Thanks!
I think this pedal does lovely chorus tones. Especially in dual flange mode. Maybe not as shimmery as your standard chorus, but definitely lush and wide 😊
One isn’t better than the other. It all depends on needs and wants when it comes to features and sounds, since they offer such vastly different Flanger experiences.
I never would have considered combining a flanger and a bitcrusher. That is ingenious.
It truly is! Has completely changed the way I look at modulation. Love this pedal so much!
I just got this pedal and this was really helpful for understanding and also dialing in sounds I would love. Thank you for this sonic Guide Stefan!
GREG DID TOP MOUNT JACKS!!! GREG DID TOP MOUNT JACKS!!! GREG DID...
He sure did!
hahaha that was what i mentioned first too

Hellz yeah!!! Great demo & playing per usual. Love ya brother 😘.
Awwww, buddy!! Thank you ❤️🙏 Miss ya, man. Hope you’re doing well!
The synth is so exactly The Cure 1981's "Faith" period ! so nostalgic !!! it reminds me their video "staring at the sea" for those who know ... waw fantastic !!!
Dude Man Bro Fam! So amazeballs!
Let’s start an Ambient Trap Country band called DudeManBroFam ❤️❤️❤️
Man, you know it's a good day when Stefan and Knobs review the same pedal on the same day.
A real yay day ❤️🙌
Don't forget Andy from Reverb!
The pedal companies set a contracted date upon which these pedal review channels will release their video to debate the new pedal. i.e. it's not a coincidence that two or more channels review the same pedal on the same day.
I love this format of pedal demo. You get all the information, but you just hear *the tones*. Good work, Fella!
Thank you so much 😊🙏
Wow! You got some really great tones out of that thing.
I would have probably written it off as just another Flanger that I don't need, but I really did like some of the Chorus-ish, rotary-ish, vibe-ish stuff that you were playing.
Thank you so much! Yeah, the Oblivion is a veritable little multi-mod box. So many inspiring tones in that thing 😊

All of those are classics for a reason 😊 And cheers, means a lot you enjoyed it. Oblivion is definitely a great pedal

Is there gonna be a demo about the pedal Microcosm?
Wow! What a box of experiments that is. I have always loved flanger effects so it's great to see this hugely significant pedal out there. In your hands Stefan this is a creative paintbox of beauty that will inspire us all.
Awww, man! Thank you! If you dig flangers, then you'll absolutely love the Oblivion. Is just insanely inspiring and chock-full of different modulation tones of both the earthly and alien kind 😊
Wow, quad mode, through zero and three different waves is not something I've ever seen on any other flanger pedal. Kudos!
This is a special one for sure. I love it! Definitely an outside-the-box Flanger!
Wow! That Pedal and that playing! Superb! That's really something! 👌🤘
Cheers, man! Means a lot you enjoyed it 🙏
I don't even like flangers, but this thing sounds way good
I’m exactly in the same situation, bud. I’m typically not into flangers, but when they’re as fun and innovative as the Oblivion, then I don’t mind reconsidering my position on flange. This thing is awesome! 😊
One day you said you didn't like flangers... well, there you are now. Nice job man, as always.

thats a J Mascis Squier Jazzmaster right? how u find it? good sound, pickups? I almost got one last year but the fact that its a Squier put me off.
Sure is a J Mascis Squier. Amazing guitar. Can't recommend it enough!
Love your reviews. Just the right ratio of talk to sounds.
This one will be a really important tool/instrument for me. Soon, can't wait. Thank for the very musical demo of its potential!
It's such a super unique and incredibly fun pedal. I'm thrilled to hear you liked the demo and found it helpful
Another Solid from SolidGoldFX
Definitely 😊👍
Nice flanger and great Video. Is these flanger analog or Digital? Thanks
Happy you liked the demo. It's a digital pedal. Really awesome flanger. One of the few I like ☺
Loved this. Not sure how I missed this a few weeks back. All around killer utility. ✊🏼
Cheers, man. Happy you dig it. This is definitely one of the most fun and unique modulation pedals I've ever played. SolidGoldFX have been killing it this year
The whole time I was thinking: "This is cool, but when is he gonna bust out the drum machine?" 🤣🤣 Gotta love those mangled beats, lol. In all seriousness though, dope video, fam! 😉 💥💯🤘👌
Yooooo! Thank you, fam! Happy I was able to deliver the mangled beats your soul and ears needed 😊😎👾

Oh wow! Thank you so much. Means a lot 🙏
Not gonna lie, this was kinda meh until you hit that degrade switch. Then it just became the best thing ever and I kinda need one :\
Degrade is where it’s at! 👾🌀❤️
Great tunes, great sounds, and loving your new "authentic" you. You look great. Cheers bud.
Thank you kindly 🙏

You never cease to amaze me at your creativity most inspiring!! Excellent demo!!
I’m deeply humbled by your kindness. Thank you ❤️🙏
It's amazing just how many ways you find to use one single pedal and make it sound awesome. Loved the ambient whale sounds!
Thank you so much!! When you have a flanger you just need to unleash the ambient whales once in a while 😊 🐳 🌊
You have opened my eyes and I love you for that. Thank you. Stunning demo as always.
Awwwww, Doug!!! Thank you so very very much, my friend ❤️🙏
Man, I may have to get two........ for all of the obvious reasons ....
You can't argue with those reasons 😊💪
Ahhhhh that's crazy, the guitar part is as good as the synth moment. I think that each pedal has a kind of specific music style that goes along with it and you seem to know in advance which will be the best example.
Please never stop your demos though you seriously put our budgets at risk.
Great demo Stefan. Cloud Trap rocks
Haha! Thank you so much 🙏🙌
sick
Happy you dig it!
Never imagined that you can have a ton of fun with flanging! Top notch vid as always man!🤘🔥
Thank you very much! 🙏 Well, not all flangers are created equal. The Oblivion is definitely in a league of its own. It’s too much fun. Can’t get enough of that degrade function 👾
ThePedalZone You got an awesome point man and the Oblivion looks like reinvented the flanging game! Yeah man, that degrade feature is totally new for me especially being present feature on a flanger! 🤯
Man, i love your playing! The flanger too!
You’re too kind. Thank you 🙏 I’m definitely warming up to flangers. Especially when they have in-built sample reduction 😊🌀👾❤️
this is such a great video man
THANK YOU 🙏🙏🙏
I am curious. With it set more to chorus type sounds, can it pull off something similar to the Mr.Black Double-Chorus?
I honestly don’t know. I’ve never tried that pedal. But you can definitely get some lush and unique chorus-type sounds out of the Oblivion. Its more subtle modulation types are way more interesting to my ears than classic chorus

Stefan, be honest here, Oblivion or EQD Pyramids?
One isn’t better than the other. It all depends on needs and wants when it comes to features and sounds, since they offer such vastly different Flanger experiences.
Yet another great demo!
Thanks, man!
Great playing! Sounds super cool :) Analog?
Thank you very much! It’s a digital pedal 👾👌
Another home run dude!! Digging into mine now...
Thanks, buddy! Looking forward to your demo of it 👌
BIT REDUCTION BOIS!!!
The best bois 👾🙌
13:48 me too bro haha!
Let's be uncool together 😂😎
instantly clicked
Thank you for clicking instantly 😊
Very cool
Happy you like it. I think it’s an insanely cool pedal 😊👌
This pedal has so many good sounds in it that the lack of presets it's a genuine punishment.
Well, luckily it’s super intuitive to use, so it’s really easy to dial in new sounds on the fly. But yes, it is chock-full with great tones 😊👍
@@thepedalzone I've no doubt it will be a powerful studio weapon for me :)
I feel you. I always end up taking pics with my phone so I can get back.
If they run out, it's your fault!
I'm "sorry"!
