I think it's an intelligent cut that can automatically "seamlessly" cut two clips together, it just accidentally moved part of the fretboard when he moved his arm
When I first found out about the astral whip, I just couldn’t stop thinking about using it onstage during a gig, and just praying everyone didn’t get up and leave
The Red Panda Raster is an amazing pedal. You can use it as a chorus, phaser straight up delay, tremolo, plus all kinds of weird stuff. Hasn't left my board since I got it about 4 years ago.
@@tangerin3_4utumn Matt’s signature guitar pedal is the Fuzz Factory, the Probe is just a Fuzz Factory with a sensitivity pad. They’re basically the same thing. You can hear the stab sound in the intro to Plug In Baby.
Just randomly came across this video and I have to say that I love your style of humour and dead-pan delivery, also your explanations are very easy to understand even for a guitar noob like myself. Tldr; you're funny. Good video
"make your guitar sound like it's losing a knife fight" Woah, was that a Deftones reference? I could totally see that pedal mimicking her vocal solo, good ear.
Holy crap! I was chuckling at the "in case I forget which appendage to use," but once the Astral whip demo happened, I drank the Kool Ade. This may be my new favorite UA-cam channel!
That astral whip thing actually sounds awesome! The first few low notes you made with that thing were absolutely doom metal. Also, tell me that thing wouldn't be badass on stage with some LEDs or something strapped onto it
Really great video, you videos have a humorous aspect that is such a breath of fresh air in guitar videos. Love the enthusiasm and commitment to the bit. Keep up the great videos!
Your gear review is as funny as any stand up comedian I've seen in the last 10 years. I watched the first 2:20 five times. That's the most I've laughed in years. Great stuff young man!
You got me w/ the astral whipping. Great way to keep the askholes away. Askhole: a drunk patron who stumbles onstage to ask you stupid questions while you're trying to play the "Birds Of Fire" (Mahavishnu Orchestra) solo.
*Two more interesting pedals for you to try in your next video:* 1) Idiotbox’s Mad Doctor Stutter pedal (cuts the signal on and off at different speeds for a cool effect. The decal of a mad doctor with power indicator eyes that flash with the stutter is a nice touch.) 2) Earthquakes Devices’ Rainbow Machine (like the Red Panda Raster from this video, but on acid). These companies also makes other interesting pedals that you should definitely check out!
I bought my own Fuzz Probe because of this video, thank you Steve-san. I’m very happy with it. I was looking for a fuzz or overdrive which I could shape the sound of on the fly. Only downside is, and I haven’t seen anyone else talk about this yet, I tried putting it through a Digitech Whammy DT, and even when the whammy effect was in the heel position, the second I hit the foot switch, it just sucked all the low end out and made it super tinny. Maybe the fact that it’s a digital pedal does something weird to the electromagnetic field on the probe section.
Fan: "so what do you play"

Gigging with Astral Whip when?

the mothership is unironically fantastic
His face when he plays it says it all
You could totally play the san andreas theme song with it
At first it quacked.

Instant gorillaz pedal
I love how nonchalantly samurai will insert jokes and insults into his descriptions of the pedals. Keep up the good work!

It gives me some awesome Legend of Zelda vibes.
One day there'll be a Devo cover with an astral whip

Oh man that's too funny. Didn't notice till now but now I'm lovin it
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAA
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who spotted that.

Ahuaahuahuau
Does anyone else think the “Astral Whip” sounded good?

Extremely good!
It did. And it's the sort of thing that inspires you to think about weird ways of making music!
Astral Whip is RAD !!!

Samurai: Yes
EGd GeM wow that’s hilarious thank you for sharing

I want an entire solo album based around that whip. Please, become the music god you were meant to be. Become the Samurai Whipist

“The sounds of your guitar losing a knife fight.”
That got a genuine chuckle out of me.
Same here brother

6:07 Someone call the guitarist from Muse
7:27 I've got no words.
the last one sounded kinda like this one song by Gojira, it sounded like harmonics.
Me too
David Nwokoye The guitarist from Muse is called Matt Bellamy

Wtf happened to the fretboard @ 1:04
Woah thats weird

Someone call the FBI
Probably a glitch in the matrix

Actually I really liked this pedal :D the first effect sounds so dreamy
great video. good laughs ... but all kidding aside, you nailed how to demo weird pedals!! job well done
Dude. The astral whip bit was GLORIOUS. I broke out in applause 👏
I've shown so many people the Astral Whip.
4:10 Mario death noise??
Nicholas Johnson you made my day😂
wow I hear it now
Absolutely fantastic. I love this series.
It has become my favourite on the channel 😅
Foot cam: flip-flops with socks, like a true samurai.
The First pedal has Tom Morello written all over it
Where at? I looked again but I just can’t see it. ???
@@sryburn641 he means that Tom would of used it, as it is his style.
@@SlyHikari03 I looked everywhere but I just can't find it. I don't see Tom's name anywhere on that crazy pedal.
@@SlyHikari03 but how can Mr Morello use it if his name isn't on it?
Who else comes back every now and then just for the Astral Whip song.
Literally did that just now lol
The lullaby actually sounded really good at 3:53 I’d definitely buy that guitar pedal just to play that. I’d love some more of that.
i'd lose my shit if i was at a concert and they brought a vaccum hose out holyy

5:49 matt bellamy called, said he wanted his effects back
Damn you're absolutely right. Especially the earlier albums
I think he actually owns this pedal, I saw it on equipboard once.
@@jonahlouque9621 no way really??? that’s actually insane and i may actually have to get one now
@@tangerin3_4utumn Matt’s signature guitar pedal is the Fuzz Factory, the Probe is just a Fuzz Factory with a sensitivity pad. They’re basically the same thing. You can hear the stab sound in the intro to Plug In Baby.
Please keep coming up with adjectives, I liked ALL of these
I'm looking forward to "experimenting with enigmatic effects", it's gotta have something from MASF, Montreal Assembly and SubDecay.
2:17 sounds like the TARDIS when it is travelling
The mothership is an absolute need! I bet George Clinton would have paid a million box to have this on a P-Funk album.
I believe Bootsy Collins actually uses one
👍
He would not have any need for this pedal - he had the fantastic Bernie Worrell on keyboards! :D
Guys guys guys... I'm getting addicted to that mother... pedal. I keep watching this vid and it does it to me every time !!!
Not my cup of tea pedal !!!!
6:20 "Bugs Bunny to earth. Bugs Bunny to earth. What is it Bugs Bunny? GET ME OUTTA HERE!
This was honestly such a hilarious video. I literally died when you strummed that G chord on the pig machine aha
keep it up! :D
Whammy Greenwood RIP mate
Same here hahahaha
So , yer dead now ?
“Hey, I have an idea. Let’s take a thick vacuum hose and put a distortion pedal on it”
Hits bong*
“I’d buy that.”
“Swine and dine em” sounded like an old school Snoop Dogg song
we need a full version of it
Yeah
Sounded like a GTA Intro song
3:50
"Not so long ago, in the mysterious land of Toronto, Canada......Scott Pilgrim was dating a high schooler..."
Your videos have improved so much over the last couple years. Well done!
Thanks buddy!
6:13 damnit I like this pedal, but it will require me to be extra sober to operate during live shows....
I thumbs-up'd as soon as I heard you sponsor your own video. Heck yeah.
Just randomly came across this video and I have to say that I love your style of humour and dead-pan delivery, also your explanations are very easy to understand even for a guitar noob like myself.
Tldr; you're funny. Good video
That first wah is something Adam Jones would love, but his solos are already weird by themselves.
3:52 Sounded like your nostalgic mid-2000s and early 2010s pixelated indie adventure game. I was waiting for it to get funky but I guess that'll do.
Can we just appreciate how guitar pedals are the coolest thing to ever exist? Why are they not the only thing people spend money on?
Because you need a guitar, amp, cables, picks, and strings, too.
@@AtlasGuitar and lots of food
Don't forget the drugs
You already know the answer. Those pedals will only give you the sound of ridged shit if you don't have any good equipment. :P
@@YouCanCallMeXoe I will sound like ridgid shit good equipment or no equipment at all.
Tom morello would love the astral whip. In fact he’d love this whole series.
7:24 hey that sounded pretty cool. Kevin Shields from My Bloody Valentine would love it
"make your guitar sound like it's losing a knife fight"
Woah, was that a Deftones reference? I could totally see that pedal mimicking her vocal solo, good ear.
7:23 you tube, man! 😂
bro you are the reason i picked up my guitar again (after buying new strings, they were pretty much rotten, it has been that long)

Holy crap! I was chuckling at the "in case I forget which appendage to use," but once the Astral whip demo happened, I drank the Kool Ade. This may be my new favorite UA-cam channel!
WHIP IT. WHIP IT GOOD. Next, run the astral whip through the Mothership and then we'll talk.
This guy genuinely makes me laugh out loud. I'm just getting into music and glad I came across him so early on.
2:48 “I’m loving it”
4:51 what it sounds like to guitarists when the g string is out of tune
"In other words, it's an absolute unit"
That astral whip thing actually sounds awesome! The first few low notes you made with that thing were absolutely doom metal. Also, tell me that thing wouldn't be badass on stage with some LEDs or something strapped onto it
holy shit I need that mothership pedal
Yes you do
Really great video, you videos have a humorous aspect that is such a breath of fresh air in guitar videos. Love the enthusiasm and commitment to the bit. Keep up the great videos!
3:10 is it just me or does this remind you of San Andreas
Dude this guy man. I love his dry style of delivering humor.
It's done damn proper mate.
.. And it's educational lol. Well done
That Pigtronix Mothership would sound killer with a bass!
if it could handle the frequency- bass can destroy lots of pedals not designed for bass. like plugging your bass into a guitar amp
Your gear review is as funny as any stand up comedian I've seen in the last 10 years.
I watched the first 2:20 five times. That's the most I've laughed in years. Great stuff young man!
Next week. 'Trying Out Wanky Guitar Pedals'
The week after that: "Trying out sexy guitar pedals"
oi you cheeky wankah!
THANK You for playing the Astral Whip. This week I REALLY needed a good laugh. I'm in tears! Your channel is now officially music therapy :)
The Astral Whip sounds like Gojira. They should use it for their concerts haha.
Probe+Mothership can probably work out really well and honestly I'm surprised you didn't try it based on the name connection alone.
I'd listen to whole albums of astral whip. That's honestly amazing.
I really like this guys comedy, never seen these kind of comedy on youtube for a while now.
First pedal reminds me of the solo from Smashing Pumpkins - Zero

There should be an ad tag on the astral whip saying “every Nirvana hidden track/live show in a tube!” Too cool!
