They must have tweaked the shutter speed so that the frequency of some of the strings is a multiple of the shutter frequency. This is a neat trick that looks pretty cool. You could even make a string look like it froze in place.
@@guffaw1711 It's easier to tweak the tuning of the harp than the shutter speed on the camera. Besides, there are a number of notes that are very close to being a multiple of the shutter speed.
Seriously, I think this is the best pedal demo channel largely because every video could just as easily pass as a relaxing ambient song. It's not just "here are what some settings sound like," she actually just plays music and lets it speak for itself.
thank you guys so much for the kind words 🥺❤️ I can't even express how much that means to me!!! that was always my goal for this channel -- to showcase how the pedals sound without pressuring anybody to buy one or falsely influencing their decision. I just use the pedals how I personally love to use them, and I hope you enjoy all their sounds as much as I do!! 🥰
Please don’t be offended by this: but your music has helped this insomniac find some semblance of rest over the past few nights. Thank you for the amazing content!
oh thank you so much!!! you have to know that I ALWAYS take it as a HUGE compliment when people fall asleep to my music!! 😂❤️❤️❤️ when I was young and just starting out with the harp, I would ask my dad to sit with me while I practiced, so he could give me feedback about how I played. I would play a piece for about 4 minutes, feel extremely proud, and then look over at him like "so how did I do?" and he'd be SILENT because he fell asleep during the piece 😂 I am SO glad you're enjoying the music, it means so much to me! 🥰❤️
Yup. My favorite too. It's my usually-on stereo pedal with the rate and depth knobs at 9 o'clock. I leave em there unless I'm doing something specific/special.
Emily... I know I've posted comments on a few of your videos before, but I hope you're able to read this. I've been feeling pretty down this past week due to a few things and haven't gotten round to watching your last few videos yet. But watching this video now has made me realise just how important to me you, your music and your channel has become to me. Something genuinely feels missing without seeing and hearing you for a long time, and when I finally come back, I feel so happy and peaceful. It's almost like a spiritual feeling that I can often only ever dream of feeling. I love all of your videos so much, but this video hit differently for me. This video put me on the verge of tears...That's not an exaggeration, I was completely welling up and smiling so much, I couldn't believe it. I almost forgot what that feels like. I closed my eyes and imagined I was floating deep in the ocean, dark blue with the rays from the sun just barely shining through. I felt warm though and very happy. I've always daydreamed about that imagine and now this video teleported me straight into it and I just can't quite explain it tbh... I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you Emily, from the bottom of my heart for everything you do, for all the happiness you bring and for all the indescribably beautiful music you make. You're absolutely amazing, I wish I could give you a hug haha! Thank you thank you thank you. :')
OMG Aidan you're making ME tear up now!! 🥺❤️❤️❤️ I'm so sorry you were feeling down this week; things have been a bit difficult for me too lately, so I'm really glad these videos can help you feel better in some way!!! comments like yours are the reason I keep making these videos and giving them my all, and I am so, so grateful that you're here with us today, and I hope your days get brighter as we go along!! thank YOU so much for everything and for all your kind words, Aidan; you just made my day, and I really wish I could hug you back!!!

Wow! This pedal is nice! Love the sound. Your original music is so beautiful. I also love the camera work and editing! Can't wait until the next video! 🎵👏👏👏
thank you so much, Eduardo!! for some reason I felt like expressing more "emotional" music this time if that makes sense; I really felt like it fit with this pedal!! ❤️
@@emilyharpist chorus always brings me back to the goth/postpunk scene of the '80s. I think that's the kind of emotions chorus tends to bring out (for me at least)
Nothing short of amazing. That's a great chorus pedal. The harp seems to really showcase the variety of effects that are possible. And, of course, Emily's playing is wonderful as always. Y'all are stepping up your video production as well. Fun to watch this one as well. Thank you 🙏
This was soooooooo beautiful and soothing! That pedal is fantastic and incredibly rich sounding, lovely. I also love watching the harp strings go all wibbly wobbly at different rates, it’s so pleasing, like an eye massage, lol.
This may be the best chorus I’ve heard. It stays so tasteful and lush without getting into that sickening swirly sound that plagues most others. Quite the nifty opening shot, as well.
Wonderful demo, as always. The stereo chorus with delay and reverb at 04:00 has been my favorite effects combination for plucked sounds for many years. Thank you for sharing to beauty!
Whoa holy shit that REALLY does sound great! This is the first pedal video where I was seriously like ok I'm probably buying this one... Thanks Emily and Russ!
Cool new camera tricks keep the series fresh; it's probably a lot of extra work, but it's noticed. Love this pedal's sound, how you play into it, and the pedals you chose to pair it with (Dark Star, Avalanche Run, and I'm always a big fan of Randy). I hope the warmth of these sea wobbles keep you all in good health as the weather turns. Good on Thorpy for recognizing a quality channel. We have a lot of weird fun here, but sometimes, a good chorus is the only prescription. Thanks for taking us on this deep sea dive; we saw some crazy things, shared a few laughs, but ultimately, like the deep blue sea itself, this device only reflects ourselves (literally and figuratively). Maybe, today we learned that if we can have a good time, it's because we are capable of happiness ourselves. Though the tide may swirl and our course may change, a vessel carries the hopes and dreams of all that wait for it. In this essay I will...
That sounds gorgeous. After about one minute I thought "this sounds like an analog bucket-brigade circuit-based chorus" so I went to the product page and indeed it is. It has "that sound." I bet their analog flanger sounds marvelous, too.
All very beautiful work here, but the stuff with the Dark Star really reminded me of the best vintage Robin Guthrie lines with the Cocteau Twins. For modulation pedals, I always gravitate toward the huge depth, slow rate thing. Warble Heaven!
Love how the helmholtz resonance is in tempo to some of the bass strings. That could be a cool effect in its own, if the pedal could measure pitch and apply a specific chorus effect to each note, so many possibilities could be found. Adjust the rate throughout the scale. Somebody with some dsp skills could write code and make it work
Well done on so many levels! I love the music you were playing throughout. I love the filming and the intro and the pedal itself is awesome! Love it all!!
Yes of course. I am a guitarist so I know very well about 80's and Chorus haha. But I see now that when you put it on Harp you really get this 80's "B movie trying to sound sad" effect x)
Hearing this for the first time right now. I immediately searched Emily Hopkins on Apple Music and was overjoyed to find her music there. Feel lucky to have found this music ❤️
@@emilyharpist Awwwww thank you kindly! I'll work most of it but it'll still be great, I wish the same to you! I hope you get to relax a bit, creating so many splendid videos on a regular basis must be quite a deal!
Just got obligatory new headphones since my new phone has no 1/8" jack, so thanks for being the first pedal demo on them! I'm still on the hunt for the perfect chorus, and this'n sure was nice.
Thank you for sharing your artistry! At 3am which is when I am listing to this, helps me be thankful for all beautiful people in my life. You are one of them. Listening to this fantastic. Love that you use stereo when it is available to you. The strings moving in the video makes your mastery of your art wonderful. Thank you. The pedal interestingly deep and thoughtful. Personally I like "wooishy" pedals best. 🤙👍
First off great video work and editing here especially in that intro. 3:25 I couldn't agree more! So many chorus pedals to me just have a very generic sound or only have one decent setting. This sounded great everywhere. A good chorus is powerful in its subtlely. It's not an effect I use a lot of as I usually only prefer it with acoustic instruments, it is an amazing one for harp. Glad you found this gem of a pedal. I'm a sucker for a good ring mod as well, I mostly only have some homemade ones anymore. That's a nice one!
thank you so much!! 🥰❤️ and YES I love that ring mod combo!! Randy's Revenge is such a great choice -- Fairfield Circuitry makes some super high-quality pedals! and I feel the same way; it was difficult for me to find the perfect chorus pedal because I wasn't using it a lot, but I'm so glad I found it in The Deep Oggin!! I have a feeling I'll be using this a LOT more haha
Beautiful playing and well worth listening to with some good over ear headphones! Can totally imagine a very cool indie game with your this music! Wanted to try some of ThorpyFx pedals for years but a bit out of my price range, think you made me want to save for one now. Keep up the great content :)
thank you so much, Mark!! 🥰❤️ making a soundtrack for an indie game is a DREAM of mine -- here's a track I did for the closing credits for one that's still in development!! ua-cam.com/video/waNR4gmSXQk/v-deo.html this is only my first ThorpyFX pedal but definitely not my last!! ❤️
Great video, and I love this pedal. I’d almost consider swapping it in place of my warped vinyl hifi, but the lack of tap on the Oggin is the only deal breaker.
Of course, a personal favorite is simply that, and no statement about the relative merits and faults of others. That said, my own personal favorite is the venerable Boss Dimension-C, and its Behringer clone, the CC300 - the king of choruses. Where so many chorus pedals use, and vary the time of, a single delay chip, the Dim-C countersweeps TWO delay chips. So, when one sweeps sharp, the other sweeps equally flat. There are two main consequences of this. 1) You don't perceive the more obvious "pitch-wobble" that you notice in single-chip choruses, because it is always simultaneously a little flat *and* a little sharp. 2) Where most other chorus pedals provide *two* voices (clean and wet), the Dim-C provides *three* - one at-pitch and two at variable pitch - yielding a richer chorus sound. Folks tend to be turned off by the 4 button-switches and no rotary controls, but it's actually enough. I will note that I actually prefer the Behringer clone, *because* they use cheaper button-switches. The Behringer lets you press as many buttons simultaneously as you want, or even have NO buttons pressed, which is actually my preferred sound from the unit (a lovely near-Leslie swirl, that sits at the boundary of chorus and flanger).
@@emilyharpist Just note that Behringer stopped making them after acquiring TC Electronics, so you'll need to keep your eyes peeled for a used one, or a music store clearing them out. TC now produces the 3rd Dimension chorus, which kinda sorta *LOOKS* like it should be a Dim-C clone, given the 4 push-buttons. But I have yet to spot a 2nd delay chip in any of the gutshots I've seen. And, given that it is a decidedly mono pedal (the DC-2/Dim-C/CC300 has stereo outputs), I doubt I will find one. Boss recently produced a reissue of the Dim-C in "Waza" form, with a higher price tag (I paid $20Cdn for my CC300, new). Perhaps you can borrow/rent one to try out.
That’s a great sounding chorus. I’ve tried a few myself and used a Rocktron Tsunami for a good while, nice sounding but it was huge. I found a older analog Boss CE-5 and I’ve stuck with it for years now but I really like how you can tweak this one.
That string right "above" the Lower blue string seems to resonate at a frequency close to the framerate of the video or something. It's moving so slow and smoothly.
Pretty sure I remember Emily saying that for wedding gigs etc. she uses a reverb and that's pretty much it. Which is understandable, a musician isn't the star of the show at a wedding. :)
hahah I usually use a few depending on the venue!! it's really hard for me to pick sometimes -- I gave a performance at an art museum and I had 6 pedals on my board for what I was doing. I pick the pedals according to my setlist! (also, @sixstringedthing is absolutely right -- if I'm going to bring a pedal to a wedding it's just a subtle reverb pedal!!) 🥰❤️
I just can't get on with chorus! I don't know why. Detune is about as close as I can get! However, when you paired it with the reverbs/delays it did sound lovely. As choruses go, Thorpy has done a great job. He does make brilliant effects.
I felt the SAME way about chorus pedals!!! it was so hard to find one that worked well, but The Deep Oggin changed my mind!! I really love this one, and I can't wait to do more with this and check out more Thorpy pedals! 🥰❤️ not only does he make amazing pedals but he's just an all-around wonderful person!
YEP we continue to be really, really on the same page. Plugged into this at the NAMM Show a couple years ago and instantly fell in love. It's so damn good, and so versatile. And the BOOST circuit on there! That's the sauce. Adrian had it into a kinda crunchy Victory amp, and it gave me some nice pseudo-Leslie cabinet vibes. (omg can you please play your harp into a Leslie cab!? That'd be the best sound, and also the most cumbersome rig possible 😂)
Are today's tracks anything specific or just meanderings? They're beautiful, either way, but I'm just wondering; the piece for the control section was especially nice.
just meanderings!! I was playing what I felt worked best for the pedal, but the pedal also brought out more "emotional" playing (and I guess a bit sad!) in me if that makes any sense!! 😂❤️ thank you so much!!
Mmm..Excellent, excellent, excellent. Always perfect with coffee. So.. A technical question... from the pedal what kind of preamp into the computer are you using? Are you using a Focusrite, a Warm, Neve? Always curious about that kind of stuff...
Oh my god the sound with the Ring Mod. That is lo-fi heaven right there.
I also can't get over how pretty the enclosure is!
The possibilities!
I'm a drummer tho. Where do I find myself a harpist..
@@nickkohlmann When you find out, do me a solid and let me know too. ;)
right?!? not only are the sounds gorgeous, but the physical enclosure is gorgeous as well!! 🥰❤️
I love the way this one is shot! The close-up of the strings wobbling feels like a visual representation of how chorus sounds.
They must have tweaked the shutter speed so that the frequency of some of the strings is a multiple of the shutter frequency. This is a neat trick that looks pretty cool. You could even make a string look like it froze in place.
It's probably helped by the harp having so many strings at so many frequencies, some of them are bound to cause the shutter speed effects.
@@guffaw1711 It's easier to tweak the tuning of the harp than the shutter speed on the camera. Besides, there are a number of notes that are very close to being a multiple of the shutter speed.
It’s a win win situation. You found your favorite chorus pedal I found my favorite harp player🥰

This sounded great everywhere. A good chorus is powerful in its subtlely. It's not an effect I use a lot of as I usually only prefer it with acoustic instruments, it is an amazing one for harp. Glad you found this gem of a pedal.
I'm a sucker for a good ring mod as well, I mostly only have some homemade ones anymore. That's a nice one!
thank you so much!! 🥰❤️ and YES I love that ring mod combo!! Randy's Revenge is such a great choice -- Fairfield Circuitry makes some super high-quality pedals! and I feel the same way; it was difficult for me to find the perfect chorus pedal because I wasn't using it a lot, but I'm so glad I found it in The Deep Oggin!! I have a feeling I'll be using this a LOT more haha
You're my favorite chorus pedal
aww shucks 🥺❤️❤️❤️
Awesome demo! Stereo with the Avalanche Run was a treat with headphones on!
Thanks so much, Andy!!
This channel just oozes class, I love it
😊 thank you!!!! ❤️
This sounded so whimsically Lo-Fi, proper trippy.
I really enjoyed the addition of the Avalanche and the Dark Star.
thank you so much!! 🥰❤️ The Deep Oggin seems to pair so well with all my other pedals!!
2:37 HELL YEAH! That's the stuff!
I'm sitting by a fire, by a creek that's well above bank in Dallas, Oregon.
Your playing and the beautiful sounds are really making my night.
thank you so much, Rich 🥺❤️ that means so much to me!! I'm so glad you're enjoying the music 🥰
The shot where you can see your hands in the reflection of the pedal tho! Bellissimo!
thank you so much, Tyler!! 🥰❤️
It’s got that retro sound to it that I really like
thank you so much!! so great to see ya again ORANG SUCC 😂❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic! Adding the ring mod at the end made for some great complex tones!
thank you so much!! I loved that pairing!! 🥰❤️
The stereo set-up was awesome, the way each pedal had it's own stereo layer. Super cool.
thank you so much!! ❤️
My ears loved the Oggin and Run together. Thanks for that.
I'm so glad!! thank you so much for watching!! :) ❤️
Wow. This really is the most gorgeous chorus sound I've heard. Your melodies are super moody. Reminds me of early Red House Painters.
thank you so much, Nick!! 🥰❤️ yeah I was definitely in a mood when I recorded this!! it sounds a bit melancholy / sad
In stereo with the Avalanche Run was glorious
Thanks Matt!! That was probably my favorite part of making this video!!
Beautiful playing and well worth listening to with some good over ear headphones! Can totally imagine a very cool indie game with your this music!
Wanted to try some of ThorpyFx pedals for years but a bit out of my price range, think you made me want to save for one now. Keep up the great content :)
thank you so much, Mark!! 🥰❤️ making a soundtrack for an indie game is a DREAM of mine -- here's a track I did for the closing credits for one that's still in development!! ua-cam.com/video/waNR4gmSXQk/v-deo.html
this is only my first ThorpyFX pedal but definitely not my last!! ❤️
Works really well on the harp.
It seems like this song would be preferred in heaven , great job emily , have a great day
thank you so much 🥺❤️ I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!
Such a super chill demo! Thanks!
thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 🥰❤️
Rich chorus, relaxing harp. Thank you Emily. Warble on
Thank you so much Greg!!! 🥰❤️
Your demos are always so cool! This one sounds deeply aquatic!
Thanks so much!! I really love making demos, and I love when pedal art matches the sound of the pedal!! :) I really appreciate you!!!
Great video, and I love this pedal. I’d almost consider swapping it in place of my warped vinyl hifi, but the lack of tap on the Oggin is the only deal breaker.
Beautiful tones !
thank you so much!! 🥰🥰🥰
Chorus is hands down my favorite effect.
It definitely grew on me!!! It wasn’t my favorite at first but now I looove it!!
Gorgeous sound as always.
thank you so much 🥺❤️
I've never really understood chorus pedals. Sounds nice.
Thank you so much!! Don’t worry, I didn’t understand them for the longest time, either!! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow this is beautiful. I like it best with Avalanche Run - I'll have to look into that too!
I highly recommend both of them, Nick!!! Thanks :)
What were you playing during the controls portion of the demo? I love those chords!
I'm actually not sure!! everything is improv in my demos, so I make it up on the spot -- I'm sorry, I totally forgot what key I was even playing in!!
@@emilyharpist sounds like b flat. Either way, it’s super cool that you improvise these. I would listen to you play longer form improv type of music
So beautiful!
thank you so much!! 🥰
Have you played the jam pedals waterfall yet? That’s the best chorus I’ve heard. This one sounds nice too tho!
Thank you so much!! I haven’t yet but I’ll check that one out!! 🥰❤️
Chorus sounds fabulous on Harp - cheers Em
Doesn’t it?! 😊 thanks so much!
This one was very beautiful and extra relaxing 😴💤
thank you so much, Douglas!! so glad you enjoyed it! 🥰❤️
This melancholy sound is my JAAAAMMMM. Anyone have artist/album recommendations in this style? Amazing demos!
Sounds a little like Andreas Vollenweider/Vincenzo Zitello/Alan Stivell to me =)
Check out C418, who wrote the music heard in Minecraft. This video reminded me of his style a bit.
hahah thank you so much!!! 🥰❤️ it's always so hard for me to recommend other artists in my style, I have NO IDEA where my "genre / style" fits!! 😂❤️
@@emilyharpist And the best part is you don't have to Emily ! Just follow your goesebumps... i guess ? ;)
Best channel on youtube
AHH STOP!! Thank you so much!!! ❤️ 😊 🌟
That’s some beautiful music you’re making🥰
Thank you so much!! 🥺❤️
So good, would love to see you do something with the obne dark star and the ehx mel9 mixed effect and dry ;)
Suh-weeet! Some great stuff with the Randy's. Adding the Afterneath to that chain might be cosmic
thanks so much, Rob!! gonna try that next!! 🥰❤️
Beautiful.
Thanks Pat!
It’s way beautiful this is amazing keep on rocking it 🎸🎸
thank you so much John!!! 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️
So dreamy!
Thanks Sarah!!!
Of course, a personal favorite is simply that, and no statement about the relative merits and faults of others. That said, my own personal favorite is the venerable Boss Dimension-C, and its Behringer clone, the CC300 - the king of choruses. Where so many chorus pedals use, and vary the time of, a single delay chip, the Dim-C countersweeps TWO delay chips. So, when one sweeps sharp, the other sweeps equally flat.
There are two main consequences of this. 1) You don't perceive the more obvious "pitch-wobble" that you notice in single-chip choruses, because it is always simultaneously a little flat *and* a little sharp. 2) Where most other chorus pedals provide *two* voices (clean and wet), the Dim-C provides *three* - one at-pitch and two at variable pitch - yielding a richer chorus sound. Folks tend to be turned off by the 4 button-switches and no rotary controls, but it's actually enough. I will note that I actually prefer the Behringer clone, *because* they use cheaper button-switches. The Behringer lets you press as many buttons simultaneously as you want, or even have NO buttons pressed, which is actually my preferred sound from the unit (a lovely near-Leslie swirl, that sits at the boundary of chorus and flanger).
I have been sleeping on Behringer pedals and this makes me really wanna dive in!!! 🤔
@@emilyharpist Just note that Behringer stopped making them after acquiring TC Electronics, so you'll need to keep your eyes peeled for a used one, or a music store clearing them out. TC now produces the 3rd Dimension chorus, which kinda sorta *LOOKS* like it should be a Dim-C clone, given the 4 push-buttons. But I have yet to spot a 2nd delay chip in any of the gutshots I've seen. And, given that it is a decidedly mono pedal (the DC-2/Dim-C/CC300 has stereo outputs), I doubt I will find one. Boss recently produced a reissue of the Dim-C in "Waza" form, with a higher price tag (I paid $20Cdn for my CC300, new). Perhaps you can borrow/rent one to try out.
Indeed. Gorgeous stuff. ❤ ...It would be highly entertaining to see you on stage with Björk..... I mean.......... Wow!
I would die to see that.
@@nickkohlmannI would pay for that show. -And ya know it won't be cheap.
@@nickkohlmann In fact, I would buy a plane ticket to Iceland, and see THAT show... 💯
HAHAH I WOULD DIE TOO 😂❤️
@@emilyharpist That's good... Means you will say yes....
That’s a great sounding chorus. I’ve tried a few myself and used a Rocktron Tsunami for a good while, nice sounding but it was huge. I found a older analog Boss CE-5 and I’ve stuck with it for years now but I really like how you can tweak this one.
That string right "above" the Lower blue string seems to resonate at a frequency close to the framerate of the video or something. It's moving so slow and smoothly.
hahah right?! I always love watching how the strings vibrate on camera!
Chorus is one of my least favorite effects, but this is nice with a high depth and low rate. Thanks for sharing this one Emily!
thank you so much, Mark!! 🥰❤️ I felt the same way about chorus but The Deep Oggin is changing my mind now!!
Sounds lovely as usual!!
Do you have a gigantic pedal board, or just use a few depending on the venue/occasion?
Pretty sure I remember Emily saying that for wedding gigs etc. she uses a reverb and that's pretty much it. Which is understandable, a musician isn't the star of the show at a wedding. :)
hahah I usually use a few depending on the venue!! it's really hard for me to pick sometimes -- I gave a performance at an art museum and I had 6 pedals on my board for what I was doing. I pick the pedals according to my setlist! (also, @sixstringedthing is absolutely right -- if I'm going to bring a pedal to a wedding it's just a subtle reverb pedal!!) 🥰❤️
@@emilyharpist Very cool👍😉
This video feels like a film score. Thanks Emily. V relaxing
thank you so much!!!! 🥰😌
I just can't get on with chorus! I don't know why. Detune is about as close as I can get! However, when you paired it with the reverbs/delays it did sound lovely. As choruses go, Thorpy has done a great job. He does make brilliant effects.
I felt the SAME way about chorus pedals!!! it was so hard to find one that worked well, but The Deep Oggin changed my mind!! I really love this one, and I can't wait to do more with this and check out more Thorpy pedals! 🥰❤️ not only does he make amazing pedals but he's just an all-around wonderful person!
YEP we continue to be really, really on the same page. Plugged into this at the NAMM Show a couple years ago and instantly fell in love. It's so damn good, and so versatile. And the BOOST circuit on there! That's the sauce. Adrian had it into a kinda crunchy Victory amp, and it gave me some nice pseudo-Leslie cabinet vibes. (omg can you please play your harp into a Leslie cab!? That'd be the best sound, and also the most cumbersome rig possible 😂)
Ahh that sounds so cool!!! I really want to go to NAMM !!!! Maybe next time, I think they moved it to June this eyar!
Are today's tracks anything specific or just meanderings?
They're beautiful, either way, but I'm just wondering; the piece for the control section was especially nice.
just meanderings!! I was playing what I felt worked best for the pedal, but the pedal also brought out more "emotional" playing (and I guess a bit sad!) in me if that makes any sense!! 😂❤️ thank you so much!!
👍
Mmm..Excellent, excellent, excellent. Always perfect with coffee. So.. A technical question... from the pedal what kind of preamp into the computer are you using? Are you using a Focusrite, a Warm, Neve? Always curious about that kind of stuff...
HEY STEVE!! We use an API 3124+ into a rack mounted UA Apollo! we have some warm compressors but we don’t usually use them for videos!
@@emilyharpist Niiiiccceeee.... You always get a great tone when you play. You rock! \m/
I feel like I'm back in Japan. 🗾. Need this for Bass. Thanks for the video.
Haha thank you!!! I would love to hear how this sounds on bass!!!
