Bred on rock, raised on the blues, trained in jazz, samuraiguitarist creates incredibly innovative videos that showcase his talents on the guitar.
playing your guitar through yourself, what a chad.
Everyone knows you’re the ultimate Chad, Adam
Hello Mr. Licc
Playing the lick through bass, what a Chad
Buckethead is the ultimate Chad... He plays himself through the amp
I play myself everyday 😭
please make a pedal board out of all of these you know what we want you to do with it
Someone please take away their like
Gryphon Nardoni pretty sure he returns them after the video. Most of them at least
Meme music on these pedals? Hell yeah
Ya music is win did that it was so funny
PUT IT IN THE TRASH
I can get the airtrash sound by just playing my guitar clean
Jesús Pérez just run two big muffs with the attack cranked.
@@mattsaysvideo Spider 6
@@Londonkassner just use instrument cables in stead of speaker cables to hook uo your cab (don't actually do this unless you want to destroy your amp)
just fuck up the wiring in your pickups and input jack ;)
It's like one of those shitty 10 watt solid state amps you get bundled with a cheapo Strat knockoff made in China. Trust me. I know.
I like how your capo demonstration is _almost_ "Here Comes the Sun".
I like to call it "here is the moon"
Lawyer Morty George actually has another song called “Here comes the moon”
here goes the sun
There goes the sun
Here comes the copyright claim
8:15 congratulations, you’ve just played yourself
badum tss :D
Underated comment
Congratulations, you now have cancer* lol
Big deal. I do that everyday.
So rarely do we get to actually laugh out loud, you got me with this one. Good work
“Could it kill a radio star”, “could it induce seizure” 😂
No doubt kurt cobain would use the airtrash
Right?!
Before the ring out turned into a bunch of hornets made of white noise having an orgy in a trash compactor I was super into it, now I'm unsure, but still want it
He got that sound some other way
@@electromancer2645 ye he had a boss ds1 and ds2 on stage at the same time sometimes, i can imagine cranking them both up would sound so fucking good
@@spooky6703 THIS.
The Last Pedal, try playing through electronic components (I. e. capacitors, maybe a Formant Board salvaged from an Electronic Organ.
What about a battery?
@@jacobfife7273 Depending on the battery, that sounds like a fairly surefire way to fry the pedals you actually care about
Or a Tesla coil.... Somehow.
that’s what i was thinking - you could probably create a pretty cool reverb effect if you ran it through a metal slinky too
Or you could use it to prototype some diy effects on a protoboard.
Obviously the last pedal should be plugged into a cow to beef up your toan.
Or a shoe, to give it some soul. I was thinking after the pickle he might try a potato chip to get some crunch.
Beef doesn't come from cows.
Charlie Hovil really?
Oh yes, the classic tone meat argument
Tone* sry to be that guy
I legit thought this said tasting guitar pedals at first and I thought wow he's going into some crazy levels of depth to test his pedals now.
And he did! He ate the pickle.
He's not Griffin McElroy
"it's awful, but in a good kind of way" was actually real feedback I got for one of my songs before.
This resonates with me deeply 🙃
That second pedal would be AMAZING for stoner doom or drone, I'd love to hear Boris using that thing
The practical application of the signal diverter is you can connect different electrical components. Or run your signal through a completely different circuit. It would be useful for designing FX pedals.
Those cables are connected to the ground
Imagine taking that delay pedal to an edm show with a bunch of strobes and lasers that'd be sick
Clay Heinzerling Should have mixed the delay and air trash. In fact, if you mashed them together you could call the hybrid pedal pure vomit.
Bravo. Bravo.
hello
3:10 sounds like my acoustic guitar through Garageband.
so true
Like, actually tho.....
There’s Swedish companies other than IKEA? (Side note: my cat was fascinated by this video)
Tell your cat I say hi
IKEA Bird
yeah, there's Volvo
@@kanjosidr And Saab
@@kanjosidr They're chinese now.
I’m sure Queens of the Stone Age can find a use for the Airtrash pedal! 😆
Yeah bro!
Burnt Gerbil Era Vulgaris era QOTSA could have done some crazy stuff with that pedal
"Could it kill a radio star?"
My man
6:49 The effect and tone of that pedal sounds just like the tone of Steve Hacketts solo on " counting out time" by Genesis
I'm expecting the next one to be "Testing The Most not-so-normal-and/or-traditional Guitar Pedals."
You should use the Morpheus Pedal and a normal capo at the same time
3:35 - Whoa! The new Royal Blood album sounds pretty good!!!
Jeff Roit damn, my boy knows Royal Blood too. Tf
Wanna get the fattest greasy tone?
Run your guitar signal through a ham.
hmm, the second pedal could be used to make some Norwegian Black metal xD
Or some sweet doom/sludge metal
It sounds weirdly similar to the guitar in Dunkelheit.
Bort Varg said he used the cheapest guitar and distortion pedal he could find, so not that far off
@@kev1257ful his own words from his website
"When it came to guitar amplifiers all the Death Metal guys told me that the way to get the "right" (trendy) sound was to use Marshall amps, and since I didn't like that sound I bought a Pivee (Pivey?) amp and used that instead. On "Filosofem" I didn't use a guitar amplifier at all, but instead used only the amplifier on my brother's stereo (that of course was not intended for that use) and some old fuzz pedals."
nothing specific mentioned i wouldn't be surprised if he recorded using a peavey rage for the early stuff and "old fuzz pedals" could be any number of options
I wonder if you could use the last one attached to a spring to make a spring reverb... maybe a metal slinky?
Joe Chip Thats not how reverb works. Metal slinky doesn't have much effect on audio signal, in spring reverb electricity is converted to mechanical waves and then converted back to electric signal on the other end.
I don't think they wires go any where they are just stuffed into the pedal box
I'm so used to seeing you keep a straight face that the thumbnail triggered my fight or flight response.
The signal diverter does have a practical use though. If you're breadboarding a circuit it can help you easily connect your effect to a stomp box, which is super useful for pedal creation. Cool video!
That last pedal would be great when you're being interviewed.
"people what to know. What is the secret behind your guitar sound"
"my secret Is good quality pickles"
thats what stevie t would say, running his djenty guitar through pickle sandwiches
Pickle guitar!
And people would at you like a wack-ass.
4:30 - So very nearly Here Comes the Sun...
Actually, that signal diverter, while probably useless for most musicians, for people prototyping pedals or something, that is *super* interesting. If it's inexpensive, it'd be super convenient for basically making a custom pedal if you wanted. So, you put together some electronics on a breadboard or whatever, attach the alligator clips to two wires sticking out of your breadboard, and now you have a proper switch and jacks in a form factor that lets you use your custom pedal as though it was a normal product. ^_^
I actually really like that, I might buy one. For prototyping it just seems like it could be really convenient. :)
Hey man I'm not sure if you read many comments or will see this, but I just wanted to say thanks for all the videos you put out. I've "played" guitar for almost 18 years now, but never found the motivation or drive to advance beyond learning the occasional song by tab here and there. It wasn't until a recent (as in maybe a month ago) youtube wormhole that I stumbled across your channel and I'm so thankful for that. Your approach to guitar and the accessibility with which you talk about theory turned thoughts of "Maybe barre chords are just the limit of my ability..." into thoughts of "Wait, this theory stuff isn't nearly as indecipherable as I thought!" Even just in the past month, through a combo of your videos and other online resources, I've gone from only knowing the 1st pentatonic position to confidently improvising (key word being confidently, rather than masterfully) in just about any basic key. I really can't express my gratitude enough for helping inspire me to pick back up the ax and really dedicate myself to the craft. I've had an original '65 Cherry Melody Maker for the past decade and finally I might be able to do it some justice! Once payday arrives next week, you can guarantee I'll be the next Samurai Theory student. Thanks again and keep up the good work!
If Tame Impala used the first pedal it would be PERFECT!
Videoscope: when Windows Media Player inspires you to create a guitar pedal.

*waiting badly for that one Fooly Cooly riff*
You should make a series where you use the signal diverter to see how various electronic components such as motors and LEDs and such affect the guitar signal. I think it would be pretty cool.
Actually, the signal diverter may be nice to have for a pedal building scrub such as myself, since it would help with trying to prototype designs.
Basically, you end up having to buy parts and build this anyway regardless. Probably cheaper just to buy the parts yourself though.
You can attach the last pedal to a circuit, thats needs a video, but i think you need an electric engineer
Holy poops...yeah, that makes WAY more sense than a chunk of ham. Kinda cool way to see what works when getting into audio circuit building
attach it to a photocell for a kill switch you operate by blocking the light! would probably also do volume swells with varying degrees of light blocking.
You can think a lot of things, like radio wawe, electro magnetism, electroboom opss.. thats the engineer :P
7:15 combined with school electric circuit experiments set, will be great to make custom pedals!
1:56
This reminds me of flcl so much
Ride on shooting star
lmao literally watched all these vids yesterday before bed and now there's a new one. get out of my head mr samurai
damn, could you please elaborate on that Schecter guitar/bass hybrid at 3:29 i'm in love with it
I'm not sure, but it might be like a Bass 6 or something similar
www.schecterguitars.com/bass/hellcat-vi-1-detail
It’s based on the Fender Bass VI but it’s Schecter’s take on it. Enjoy
Truly love these series or vids!!! Great work
Hell yeah one of my favorite series on your channel. Keep em coming
"Now let's try... a pickle!"
:: Sylvia Massy intensifies ::
Thank you, just saw this now and was looking for this, Sylvia Massy is a legend
He sent the signal through a pickle.
Funniest shit I've ever seen
2:29 the video killed the radio star reference lol
The Signal Diverter pedal shows something that engineers have known for years, that cheap cables and connections (as long as they are in fact connected) will sound the same as a high priced monster cable.
That TV one is actually pretty cool for music videos and cover videos and such and of course, as you said, a concert full of tvs hooked up to that pedal
samuraiguitarist sounds as if there was a blanket over the sound. wouldn't buy him for tone except if I wanted a jazzy tone.
On the delay pedal with the light: that light sensor is a photoresistor, it's pretty easy to just clip one into a circuit and tap into all those crazy wavies, used to have a couple "phototheremins" or cheap little circuits that ran a signal through one of them. Pretty cool, simple stuff.
There is a practical use for the last pedal - in a live loop/delay/feedback situation you can route the signal to your drummer who can add rhythm the signal that you cannot (as easily) get on your own
Dude, the last pedal is genius! Try running it through a spring!! Or an electrical motor!
It needs more testing
First pedal would be amazing for small stages and solo performances. Would give more life for performance.
Matt Coast You could easily hook it up to a small budget projector and cast it behind you. It’s a shame they aren’t cheap, I’m curious to see if I could build a similar circuit, even if it’s just a simple X-Y oscilloscope graph.
@@Evildandalo I think it would be possible with creating a software like audio visualizer which pick guitar signal live. And instead of pedal you would need to connect it to a audio interface.
Matt Coast That would be incredibly easy if done with a PC. I’m sure you could do something simple that would work with an Arduino and the GPIO pins, or something way more fleshed out with a raspberry Pi.
The Pi Zero would work great for it actually, composite video output is natively supported and analog audio in is supported as well so the hardest part would be the software side and designing the input circuitry. I have a feeling I could probably make that work and fit it into a stomp box.
@@Evildandalo I hope you will do it👍 remember to write me if you successfully will do that I maybe will work on software side.
The diverter is awesome for people who like to make their own filter circuits or use stuff designed for modular synthesizers.
the signal diverter would be great for breadboarding with. a set of jacks, a true bypass switch, and an enclosure you can toss down on the floor
What does your BASS have 6 strings? weird.
Do a normal pickle vs a guitar signal pickle taste test, we need to know if guitar signal changes the taste
The last pedal is good for prototyping effects, if you want better effect you could send signal through transistor, opamp, or some more complicated circuit.
That last pedal with the leads would be useful for someone trying to develop their own pedal. You could easily connect the signal to a breadboard and experiment, and it comes with the added benefit of an easy on/off switch.
why does your bass have 6 strings? weird...
gaming time no way never seen this before
sooo... who the hell is David?
Because we’re worthy of the extra 2
HAHA VERY FUNNY BASS JOKE
Bruh
He’s playing a flute
This dude really just pulled out a pickle and played guitar through it
that signal diverter pedal is definitely for breadboarding homemade effects; you should try out running it through a breadboard with some resistors, etc. attached
That last one actually has ONE great real life application. I used to build pedals and back then I built one of those for myself. What I did with it was connect it to the prototype circuitboard for testing / tweaking. Much easier than installing your prototype in its own enclosure
You're supposed to run the alligator guitar clippedal through objects with different types of electrical resistance has or features to get crazy effects
if you run it through stuff with more resistance it will just make it quieter
3:32 What model is that? I want it!
playing that one through various capacitors or coils would give you some unique sounds. or good for testing new circuits that process the sounds.
4:48 I could see both being layered on top of eachother for an interesting timbre

For the signal diverter, it has a lot of potential to be different & for each trial it was just BARELY, BARELY different. That pedal is more of an electrician's pedal, such as experimenting with voltage. Also, as for humans, we emit some electricity (which is why touching a 1/4 inch guitar cable jack buzzes it a bit), but not a lot. That's why it was buzzing when you sent your signal through you.
When you touch any metal part of a guitar there is actually a very small amount of electricity flowing through you which is why the buzz from the amp stops when youre playing or touching the bridge or the strings
5:12
Socks with flip flops. What a style icon.
Remember: Samurai Guitarist does these things so you don't have to.
Your own pedal should be called Socks with Sandals. 🧦 👡 👍😂
You could play the signal diverter through electronic components or if you make your own pedals you could use it as a testing device. You could even make simple audio circuits and run it through those
The diverter can be used to route your signal through an effect you're currently designing/troubleshooting. Wouldn't pay for it, but it could be used for something practical.
the air trash sounds like the audio version of jpeg artifacts
The first pedal or “Migraine simulator” as we like to call it...
3:04 sounds exactly like the Fender Frontman amps you get with your Guitar Starter pack
Odd, strange, different, wild, zany, alien.
I hope these get into a video, especially zany. Love your content, keep it up!
Dont get me started on the classic tone meat argument.
Pickle signals. The true A U D I O P H I L E's choice of cabling.
The Signal Diverter could be used to run through all sorts of stuff. Like a Speak-and-Spell, or a See-n-Say. It'll let you connect to just about any circuit that's not a pedal, and that's awesome.
6:18 Should anyone be interested in that, my best guess is that it is an optocoupler that modulates the signal based on the intensity of that (UV?) light, as it's perceived by a phototransistor inside. Kinda of similar to your good ol' FM Radio, but modulated within audio frequency band.
Lol, "Should you use it in a worship band?"
Everybody: man that glitchy screen sure looks cool.
Me: HE HAS A NES!!
That last one could be really cool if you hooked it up to a curcuit that did some thing with a curtain electric signal
There's a brazilian delay called "That's Echo Folks" by MG Music that does almoust the same. They call the light/sensor "pig's tail".
Air trash....welp looks like I've found my first distortion pedal.🤘
Your guitar playing was most excellent, but I've seen better visuals off of Windows Media Player.
That second pedal reminds me of an old record that’s been overplayed or maybe a radio station on an old dial radio that isn’t quite tuned in
loving the signal diverter

Boss DS1
It says metal on the lid so it must be good right?
That light delay thing could be interesting if you place it close to the drumkit, say on the rim of the kick drum. The vibration of the kuck drum would shake the little light antenna, and would cause some weird warbling sound, me thinks
That funky light thing is amaaaazzziiing! I need one!
A lot of these pedals sound like they would be right up Radiohead’s street
Why does your bass have 6 strings? weird.
I think we need to see you play your guitar through that piece of ham.
I love your videos Sam. They cover such a broad scape of wiggly air. Genres, theory, equipment, commentary. Quite professional
