    have done the stereo hack from day one on my Alter Ego x4. It does require me to turn the repeats down, but the entire effect is much more musical and spacious. Less intrusive too, while the tone remained convincingly vintGe.
    For everyone else who owns one: just do this. Another great tip is using a subtle, transparent overdrive (like an EM-clone) behind it. A total gamechanger when it's in your effectsloop!

    It took me far too long to notice the logos changing on the wall. Subtle but nice.
    I'll be playing around with some of these tonight. Thanks for the vid!

    Hey great tip. I borrowed my friends triple delay for a weekend and when i had to give it back i was going through delay withdrawal. Fortunately I saw this video and it gave me and my Flashback a new reason to get back together. Thanks TC

    this is a great way to get more out of your pedals. i did this on my Alter Ego X4 and its great. like someone just said, the feedback you'll have to control more but its creates a more spacey sound, fuller, and more rounded. i love this. thanks guys

  • @markhammer643
    @markhammer643 6 років тому

    I started doing this a number of years ago with my Line 6 Tonecore pedals, They obviously don't have the flexibility that the Toneprint capability/app provides, but like these pedals shown here, they are digital and have stereo ins and outs.
    The most interesting results are obtained from time-based pedals. So delay, chorus, reverb, and flanging will work better than vibe or phaser, in terms of musicality. That said, sometimes you need to stick a volume pad of some sort between the first out and second in to keep it "musical". rather than turning into seagull sounds or other things that you'd consider special effects, rather than usable guitar tones. Depends on the pedal, of course.
    What was not covered here is the use of TWO or more pedals in this way. For example, fuzzed guitar signal goes into a flanger, whose output goes to a delay. The first delay output then comes back to the "other" flanger input, whose output goes to the "other" delay input. If you want to live life on the wild side, try doing this using reverse delay, so that your flanged signal is turned backwards, then re-flanged and reversed once more, only delayed. Just remember to phone in sick to work when you try it out, because you likely won't be leaving the house that day.

  • @mrlurkidy6288
    @mrlurkidy6288 9 років тому +3

    And if you do this hack with a delay and put another pedal in the feedback loop you can get some awesome tones. Like you put a chorus there and get a modulated delay.

  • @ryanspencerlauderdale687
    @ryanspencerlauderdale687 8 років тому

    Could you simulate an effects loop by running an extra pedal into the pedal? Example: I would like to feed a Octave up into an Alter Ego for an ice-type delay, for those ambient volume swells you guys showed in the video (in theory).

  • @LucioMoriyama

    Hello Tc, i have one question. If i put the cable into the stereo in the other out put (like the video say) will it damage my pedal?

  • @HermelJaworski
    @HermelJaworski 9 років тому +1

    I have just got a flashback delay and tried this hack, works great ! I'm putting my pedal in two separate loops in my switcher, so that I can have either a subtle delay or a bigger one :) and if I use the double delay mode (quarter notes and dotted eighths), then I have two delay times on the fly. How great is that ?! Thanks TC for making an awesome product!

  • @tweedguitar9103
    @tweedguitar9103 6 років тому

    Is the signal chain this ?
    Guitar output into Stereo Input Delay One , then output signal is split
    1. Mono Output Delay One into mono Input Delay Two.
    2. Stereo Out Delay One goes into the Mono Input of Delay One ?
    Guitar > Stereo Input Delay One> Mono Out Delay One > Mono Input Delay Delay Two
    > Stereo Out Delay One > Mono Input Delay One

  • @influxxmedia
    @influxxmedia 8 років тому

    I love this. I wonder if you could daisy chain a stereo hack, flanger or chorus into delay and back into the first? Would it just create a never ending loop of insanity or might it just work ...I'm off to get some new 9v so I can try it out
    Oh an I like the logos comped onto the back wall. Nice touch 👍

      @VavShin 8 років тому

      Well, that's quite ok if you don't.
      I found that I could controll the sound, and with adding a bit of chorus and a smeary delay effect afterwards I could do some pretty cool textures.

  • @magmaman641
    @magmaman641 8 років тому +1

    Nice video! Probably a dumb question, but is there any possible way that the stereo hack could be bad for a pedal? And has anyone tried it with a non-TC electronic pedal. Like a Strymon El Cap, for instance?

    • @maxonmendel5757
      @maxonmendel5757 8 років тому

      Estee Nieves if you do it wrong, R-R or L-L instead of R-L, you'll get a lot of feedback. With an analog pedal, you may blow something up. But give it a try I guess.

  • @NotSoWickedElphaba
    @NotSoWickedElphaba 9 років тому +6

    I think you don't push it far enough. I have a DD6 and a Nova ND1 and have been using this hack with both but in a slightly different way. Basically instead of looping the output in the input of the same pedal put it in the second input of the second one then put the second output of the second pedal in the second input of the first pedal. Truly amazing sounds! You can have reverse + delay or 2 delays or two reverses on top of each other, endless possibilities. The notes fade with changing resonance as they go through the loop.Try it!

    • @tcelectronic
      @tcelectronic  9 років тому +6

      +NotSoWickedElphaba thanks for sharing your experience with us. We're of course well aware of this. The goal of the video was simply to show how each individual pedal sounds with the stereo hack. We'll make other videos that dive deeper into the posibilities you get when doing the dual hack. But hopefully people will already start experimenting on their own after seeing your message :) Again, thanks for sharing.

    • @rfrancou
      @rfrancou 8 років тому

      +Des Trucs et d'Autres... Salut. Je serais curieux de savoir comment tu as fait, je suis pas sûr d
      avoir bien compris ton dispositif. Je dispose d'une trinity reverb (TC)
      et d'une delay ibanez DE7 (qui a une seule entree et deux sorties). Je
      tenterais bien de les hacker ensemble (delay --> reverb ou reverb
      --> delay) mais je sais pas trop comment, d'autant que la delay n'a
      qu'une seule entree en mono... Un petit conseil à donner ?

    I just run in stereo, I have all of my fancy pants, overdrives in a BOSS NS-2, then use a parametric eq. I attenuate the volume, then split it wtih a TU-2 tuner. A: signal goes to my T.C. Electonic Nova Modulator, Stereo out of the Nova Modulator into my Eventide Pitch factor, then into a T.C. Electronic Nova Delay. Then into a stereo reverb BiYang reverb. The stereo signal goes into a Shure M60 Tube stereo phono pre Located in my amp/rack. Then it feeds my ADA Micro cab II. The inputs are y's into a hum eliminator and then into the stereo Orange Micro terrors. I get flawless tone direct and I can blend my SennHeiser e609 stereo pair of mics as well. I dig the strange sounds with the "Stereo Hack" thing. I can get the wackiness with my Eventide Pitchfactor. I am thinking of updating my Noise Reduction to the T.C. Electronic Sentry to replace the NS-2. I am a big fan of true stereo pedals. Allowing you to move them around and pass through stereo sounds from other pedals earlier through. I enjoy playing through stereo better. Of course it is a mono source, but stereo fills in sound. When I have my delays off, the reverb sounds just right not too much. I have it carefully balanced to not have the tone over effected. I have an option to run wet/dry/wet. I forgot to mention that output B: goes to a dry only amp. My tuner is in an unusual place. I plan on using the T.C. electronic polytune clip. I have redundant tuners in my setup. T. C. Electronic is my favorite fx now. I love the Nova series. I wish they had more presets and midi. I picked those units, because they were the most, "rack like" fx pedals I could find. I like delays with displays.

  • @george.kollaros
    @george.kollaros 7 років тому

    The Corona chorus patching is wrong, the guitar is plugged in the mono in and the patch cable to the stereo in, but in all other pedals is the other way around. Same for the outputs. That's why there's minimal sound difference and the player just tries to find something to say

  • @riversplit8206
    @riversplit8206 8 років тому

    If I would do that with Flashback with 800ms delay time, minimum feedback and max delay level could i do the Brian May Brighton Rock sound?

    • @tcelectronic
      @tcelectronic  8 років тому +2

      No. You would need an equidistant dual delay for that. A quarter and eighth note delay. Our compact delays can't do that. Our Triple Delay can though :) And we have a "Brighton Rock" TonePrint made by Brian May himself available for that one :)

    • @tcelectronic
      @tcelectronic  9 років тому +2

      +JJAAHH no, but as stated, it can harm your amp if you're not careful. It creates a massive amount of feedback, that 1) can seriously harm your amp's speakers, and 2) will probably result in a rescue team bashing in your door, since they suddenly detected a serious seismic reading from your location. You have been warned :)
