Correct me if I'm wrong but on the rotary setting, you can only go between the fast and slow setting... Which means when he was trying to do tap tempo he was actually turning fast off and on again meaning he changed nothing
It would require a processor at least two times more powerful or a much lower sound quality. So it has to be two times more expensive, or you buy a line6 device (no disrespect regarding line6 products and fans).
But there are other products, like the "TC Electronic NOVA Modulator" that presents two banks with the same options with the possibility of different effects settings. You can enable, for example, a chorus effect in the first bank (and make the desired settings), and a flanger effect on the second bank (and also set it as desired) to work simultaneously. In total, there are two separate banks of 6 effects (chorus, tri-chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo and vibrato).
I understand, but the TC modulator has less processing needs per effect than the strymon. Wanting two digital effects to run simultaneous is like playing two videogames at the same time on 1 computer. It's OK with less processing needs (thuss less detailed and lower quality DSP) but not with the needs from Strymon's programs.
To those who pay so much attention to Paul's hair and not the demonstration, I must wonder why you bother to watch. I benefit musically from these demo's. Maybe there are too many "want to be guitarists" who should spend their time in beautician's school?
@@elonmust7470 it’s not the pedals fault, he played fast licks with effects that go best with slower ones to flourish, and vice versa....way better demos out there
Cool! I wish you had used only clean tones. These days I can't seem to stand the sound of distortion. I think it just destroys everything. Well, well. I dig that you "have to" show it.
Tom Duvall you are right. $450 seems like a lot but it just cut 4 pedals out of my loop switcher so that's worth it right there. And with an expression pedal I'm pretty sure I can get one of those filters to sound like Wah wah.
it's tempting, if only to free up pedal board space but a lot of the fx like the phaser, filters and autowah i'd use almost never; much better done in analog domain imho
Jaidezilla it will sound exactly like a Wah. And the Vibe will sound just like a Deja Vibe. There’s a talk box effect and one of the best flanger tones I’ve ever heard. It also has a great phaser. One of the coolest features is a pattern tremolo with a ramp mode which sounds the trem patterns super percussive with a ton of variety. Super fun to play with.
Damn....all that panel space and just two generic parameter knobs. more knobs + a shift button could cover everything non-macro or midi related Any pro fx unit MUST have a dedicated wet/dry mix knob or it is far less usable in performance and improvisation.
Please tell me that I’m not the only one who thinks these sound horrible. All I want is a killer Chorus pedal which is what I thought I had bought. I don’t understand any of this shit. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Love the destroyer setting. Perfect for Wish You Were Here!
5:46 to skip and hear..
Thank you

.....and of course you cant wait to overdrive!!! Thank goodness we have justnick for reviews
Excellent video, thanks for posting, much appreciated : )
My only regret regarding these Strymon pedals is the "failure" to allow the combination of at least TWO effects. You can only use one at a time.

Good demo. Some of these sounds are very useful
He should think about what he's going to play ahead of time.
Great intro to this effects pedal.

Here a really cool (enter effect name here) sound. Congratulation, you are now a guitar pedal reviewer!!
great job paul u rock
If ever a UA-cam demo would make me NOT buy a product this is it.
You know I was JUST thinking the same exact thing.

What's on his head?
A small rat's nest.
Great review!
The destroyer effect was taken from a preset on the axe fx2
Funny how he is trying to fit those pentatonic scale into every effect.
Haha I like the GRAMMA pad for the prop ! Thumbs up, I love those

Great job dude
If you bought a pedal for each effect you have here you'd pay quite a bit more than the 450 I think.

Good review.
Paul goes to a barber and says gimmie 1 of everything
9:30 sounded like Summerland, by King's x.
jesus christ 5 minutes of talking about it before hearing it..i don't even want one anymore.
Tyler i hear ya... i hate that. This pedal doesn't justify the price... sounds like a bunch of dod pedals in one
even worse, he's feeding it with some nappy-ass tone, just jamming that LP in there all upper mid-heavy
Great sounds but can you have more than One effect on at a time, like Phaser & Flanger?
And at only $450 you will only have to sell one of your kidneys!
Gee Mac72 Yeah but if you bought all these separately you'd have to sell both your kidneys, your mother's, and you new-born babie's.
All I could think the entire time was "wash that fucking hair....." The poor bastard that got the pedal next probably could not even turn the knobs.
What is the effect he is using at 8.15? Tremolo?
Aw man. I was about to make a sarcastic meta-hair comment.
Watch Strymon's own demo of this pedal. Much better
Cool pedal, reminds me of the Line 6 FM4 a little bit.
I can't wait to hear what @davyknowles will create with it.
You are aware that blues was a major influence on early rock bands which have then influenced modern musicians right?
What brand of lawn mower do you use to hack up your head?
HolidaySound2008 bruh 😂
ROGL
Great demo Marty! Sorry, Paul... Paul...
Nice pedal, but only a few days ago the Captain and Bea nailed the demo.
Great Guitar ;-)
This was 10 years ago....fuck
guitar cables?
Ho to return in bypass? :D
I'm usually not a big fan of Paul (or his hair), but I must say he did a great job with this demo.
I think these videos ought to start with the demonstration and then take you to the analysis.
Paul is great !
Nice
Looks like he rode a motorcycle backwards on the highway
If he gets out of bed to do this, then why not haha
Cool gibson les paul !!!!!
Check out the demo of this on rob chapmans channel.... It is SICK!
what guitar is that?
Looks like he crawled out of the Oklahoma Tornado !
Headstock says it's Gibson Les Paul MODEL.
Is that a hair piece?
Looks like he just got out of bed
Generic comment complaining about Paul's hair.
That hair...
Dat Les Paul
Damn....all that panel space and just two generic parameter knobs. more knobs + a shift button could cover everything non-macro or midi related
Any pro fx unit MUST have a dedicated wet/dry mix knob or it is far less usable in performance and improvisation.
Pages Les Paul, yep ?
that bitch cost $500 damn i want it :(
DESTROYER :D
Good pedal if you want to experiment with sounds, but at 449 $, it`s a bit much
inb4 paul's hair
Is he wearing a hairpiece ?
11:45 Bioshock Infinite.
Just play the guitaaaar!!
It appears that everything is "the great thing."
Generic reply, sharing generic disapproval of Paul's hair.
Look like the Jimmy Page #2 les paul!
Gary Numan?
Sure, if you buy two.
Is this guy Joe Pesci’s son? Leo Getz
Please tell me that I’m not the only one who thinks these sound horrible. All I want is a killer Chorus pedal which is what I thought I had bought. I don’t understand any of this shit. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
gibson jimmy page number 2 les paul
Good demo but 10.26 Sounds like an farting robot
Generic response to generic comment about Paul's shitty sound
a mi siempre me pareció que este tio tiene mucha pluma.
What a load of old bollocks...!
The horrible hairy myth of Paul from guitar world.
Why don't you play some fucking sounds!!!
But his hair sucks!
