First two that come to mind in the unorthodox category after the microcosm are another two I've been thinking of buying.. a Chase Bliss Audio Mood MK2 or a Chase Bliss Audio Habit. As soon as I saw this video I purchased a Superego to see how it pairs up with the Keeley Spacial Parallax Generator but would also love to hear the superego paired up with an Eventide Rose. Awesome upload man! :)
Another fun way to use it or the superego+ is to split your signal at the start of your chain, and run a superego (and whatever effects with it) into a separate amp. In auto it’ll just follow along with what you play, and it the sound doesn’t clash.
I've been using the freeze effects in the H9 reverb algos for some time. I was trying to get a Vangelis type of thing, but that all ended up sounding like "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," so I went with that. When I unveiled that publicly, there were bits of brain all over the walls.
@1:24 when "We have 'Wish You Were Here' at home," actually tastes fuckin' delicious... I am *perpetually* in awe of your composition for these videos.
@@LeonToddHey Unc at 4:20-which is serendipitous as that's my favorite time of any day lol- what type of pedal or whatever are you using for that crispy ass distortion? Because dude.....that sound soloing over those synth pads was, how do I put this....euphoric🫠🤤 lol. I was pulling the stank face the whole time 🥴😂
@@LeonToddAlso I am enamoured of the efficiency of your picking hand dude, I'm always working on how to make mine as economic as possible but damn bro you got it down lol. Also I am not, and don't think will ever be as good a lead player as you, think Jerry Cantrell and that's my style and personal guitar hero along with Kim Thayil. But again, I can solo reasonably well kinda like Jerry where he does have sick lead parts but is a beast rhythm player at it's best imo. Anyway, love the channel and I'm stoked for you at it's growth man but I like thinking it's still a hidden rare gem for us guitar and music obsessed freaks lol.
I have the Superego plus ➕. It has a sustain freeze like a piano pedal. Four different freeze options. The effects are well worth the forty extra dollars. Can't understand why both versions are not more popular. 😎🤓
Omg...that is soooo cool, with a pedal like that, it would instinctively give me new ideas....now I need to see if there is something similar in my pod go..😂...love when you give us stuff like this Leon.
Super random that you are finally rocking the super ego! I’ve been using them for years on my boards, and I really do think it’s one of the greatest effects pedals ever made. It comes down to the musicality of the player, but the stretching and effects loop combinations are just so endless. Keep on rockin🔥🎶
Alesis quadraverb , source Ventris , Watkins copicat, Roland gp -8 , that's the best configuration I've ever had using a music man 212 rd65 or Rivera m60 that shit was otherworldly
Are use an electro harmonics pog, but you have to get the right one the one that comes in the cast metal box like the super ego right there is the one to get in my opinion
love it gona pick this up for my axe111 my lil shhh right now is midi fishman3 link to other VSTs/layers, not their stock sounds. when done with my custom vst will still Axe111 to add or switch to midi/analog ... new here love your vids, ill peep the patron, luv from USA
@@callumalston5755I love that pedal! I could have never played a Sitar and that other drone thing on its own, but thanks to that pedal I can play both instruments in harmony and with a six string. Tracking is spot on.
Aw man you're too kind Leon! Thanks for making this video so I didn't have to :) Btw if anyone wants to hear the Superego in a song context, it's all over this song, especially the intro: ua-cam.com/video/24EOZoWNk90/v-deo.html
Sounds like a church pipe organ there at the beginning .. thought I was sitting in the pews...that is really cool stuff you piped out mate... Gonna have to call you the pied Piper of this effect..this is so much better than the B and C organ synth pedals...really takes your tunes to the top. This is a great weapon for the arsenal.. better than the big sky which I loved when I first played it... I Instantly would pick this as my secret weapon. 🦘 😺
What other "unorthodox" effects pedals should I try?

Ooooh I must try that
You can do the same thing with this pedal too. Just use the Send output to another amp.

1:25 agree. Hours of fun with this.

Seriously though that was just too fuggin tasty, it's like damn Leon leave some tone for the rest of us plebs 😂😂😂
I love the superego. One of my all-time favorite pedals.
That’s sick!
Awesome lead solos Todd.
It's not actually the tone we seek. It is about the friends we make along the way.✌😎
Amen to that

Warren is a Jedi. Nice sounds
An absolute jedi master!

My pleasure mate! Hope you're enjoying the weekend
@@LeonTodd quite weekend...saving...6 days away from new guitar day 👍 hope yours is good also.

Totally! It's such a great inspiration machine.

Have to give mine a spin. It is gathering dust on my closet for about 2 years now cause Ive never been able to figure it out how to use it right.
Awesome!! and I must say tone is in the Slippers 😄
Oh yeah!
Try the super echo plus......
very cool! i reckon i might be able to do something similar on the axe fx.
Reading this sentence excites me!
Sounds just.. majestic. I've got a Freeze, but it doesn't do the gliss like that, more's the pity.
That's pretty much the reason I grabbed this, the gliss is beautiful!
So this “synth” pedal is just a freeze pedal.
This version, very much so, yes. The Superego+ does have a synth engine built in.
Are use an electro harmonics pog, but you have to get the right one the one that comes in the cast metal box like the super ego right there is the one to get in my opinion
Yeah I have an old POG2. love it.
I got to get that! If it's not too expensive. I have an idea for an anime cartoon theme song in mind with that pedal. 😀
love it gona pick this up for my axe111 my lil shhh right now is midi fishman3 link to other VSTs/layers, not their stock sounds. when done with my custom vst will still Axe111 to add or switch to midi/analog ... new here love your vids, ill peep the patron, luv from USA
Yeah it works really nice with the Axe!
That’s rad, I want to put my slow gear in front of that
That would be sick. Add some spx pitch change and some lex Concert Hall while you're at it
I do that as well, though I use a Mooer Slow Engine (another sleeper pedal). Works super nice! Try adding some lower octave and crystal echoes too.
How cool is every thing that EHX has ever made 🙏🙏
Minus that sitar thing, that thing is awful

Sorry for offtopic, but it is still possible to download/buy your impulses for Atomic Amp3 ?
My free cab IR's are linked in the description, the presets for the Amplifire are long gone unfortunately
@@LeonTodd thanks Man

Now that I know it's the Superego I can hear it there! Love that big wide vibe/trem on there too
Amazing video really i hope one day my dreams it comes true to play guitar with you leon i love 80s music this pedal its amazing 🎸⭐🌟🌟🌟⭐🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
You forgot to ask someone to send you one…
Sounds great. Mine is the Heptode virtuoso phase shifter, clone of the Maestro ps-1a.

Absolutely. One of those "how did he do that?!" pedals
