Wow, thanks so much, Matt!

@@tritonefascination *You* sound amazing.

Ha. He has discerning taste in my cover choices.

Sorry for the slow reply, Zach. I’ve been sick. You gotta be one of the first. Thanks so much for the kind words and longtime support. That really means a lot.

All in front of the Marshall. This was when I used to run it clean and get dirt from pedals.

Wow, it’s usually the opposite end of the intelligence spectrum that I hear. Thanks for watching and the incredibly kind words.

Gary! Thanks so much for the support and the kind words.

Thanks, bud!

Hey, thanks. The knob settings should be as shown in the background of each respective clip. There’s not really a way to see where the secondary functions are set after you’ve saved a sound unfortunately.

Hey, thanks. The reverb was in post. I used the UA Pure Plate they just gave away on the Jackson Browne track and the other two are the UA Lexicon 224 plug-in.

@@BrendanMowatSmith thank you!

from 2:38

Thanks a lot! I’m out of town for a week but can have a look when I get back if you remind me. I didn’t use any of the presets and the sounds are all just from knob-twiddling against a reference until I was happy. Unfortunately when you save a sound you can’t see where the knobs were set but I could tell you the jazz/rock and speaker settings and the stuff that is visible under the hood.

⁠@@BrendanMowatSmithThank you so much! Do you remeber if the overdrive was on? So, the knobs were roughly set like on the screen?

@ The overdrive was on for everything. The opening shot should be roughly how it was set for Running On Empty. I have two main presets I go back and forth between I can try and explain when I get home.

Thanks, dude. There’s been a few requests for this so I’ve been brainstorming something I could put together when I get back to Ontario that might illustrate how I’ve been setting the UAFX stuff up.

Hey, thanks. I debated doing that again but there’s so many unseen functions within the app for this one and almost every knob has a secondary function. Ultimately I decided it wasn’t adequately representational of what was going on to justify the extra work. Apologies.

@@BrendanMowatSmithWhat was the signal chain from UAE out->DAW? Sounds nice!! 👍

Thanks! Just the Enigmatic into the Apollo. I had an old TS-9 in line I thought I might use but never turned it on as the drive sounded so good on the UA. I pushed it a tiny bit with the FET Driver in the Robben Ford section but the drive was virtually off. That’s the only part that features another stompbox.

Thanks for watching and the kind words!

Thanks, Mark!!

Thanks, dude!

Ah, not too bad. It was only -20 or so when I left the house this morning.

@BrendanMowatSmith ok got me beat it's 49 but feels cold lol merry Christmas tell your mom when you chat with her

Hey, thanks!

@@szczepa_n Sure thing. The first is me bastardizing the opening of “Castles Made Of Sand” by Jimi Hendrix. The second is “Little Dreamer” by Van Halen.

@@BrendanMowatSmith thank you!

No problem. Thanks for watching!

@@Gimi.Endrics Hey, sure. The thumbnail is one of the newer Hendrix reissues that wasn’t mine but the one actually used in the video is a Stories Collection 1954 Virginia Stratocaster.

@BrendanMowatSmith OK thank you

@@henri_.leal68 I didn’t either, truthfully. I’ve wanted one since the late 90s and when one came up locally for a steal last year I made some irresponsible decisions to bring it home. Best of luck with the search!

Too kind, friend. Thanks very much for the encouragement.

No stumbling here.

Not familiar with his playing. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks.

Thanks for that. You could always subscribe if you want to keep up with my anything-but-consistent video output. 😜

@@BrendanMowatSmith Sub'd! I love a consistently inconsistent channel :)

Ha. Thanks, dude. You’re gonna love the unpredictability here then!

Thanks!

Charlie! Sorry for the slow reply! I didn’t get a notification for this. Apologies. Thanks so much for the kind words, as always.

Jimmy! Thanks so much for that, Maestro.

Thanks for listening, Ryan! Very much appreciate the kind words.

Thanks so much, Nick! Appreciate that, bro.

Hey, thanks for listening and saying, Saulo!

Thanks for saying, Walker. Very much appreciated. The Prophet is so inspiring. I didn’t think it would be as audibly superior to my software synths as it seems to be so hopefully this doesn’t send me down another very expensive rabbit hole when I have to give it back in December. And that was a very cool track. I love the reflective video of the clouds on the lake too.

Thanks for the positivity today, dude. The Chase Tone stuff is the best-sounding and most reasonably priced if you ask me. I think you’ll be quite happy with it.

@@BrendanMowatSmith Is the red velvet one based on the axis fuzz? I know you have one, but might not have an axis to compare it to. I wanna grab rogers axis fuzz but they're fuckin expensive as compared to chase tone, cheers.

@NaturalIntensity69 I’ve never tried an Axis Fuzz or the Red Velvet, unfortunately. I had the RM Voodoo Vibe for a while and that definitely wasn’t my favourite Univibe pedal. I was under the impression the Chase Tone stuff are Fuzz Face variants but I could be mistaken. I’d really like to try the Red Velvet based on how much I enjoy the Fuzz Fella. If I do you’ll definitely see a video here.

@@BrendanMowatSmith The Fuzz Fellas/Red Velvet are all Fuzz Face variants to my knowledge. I think the Red Velvet BC183 is voiced to be more like a germanium Fuzz Face. I found it to be a bit more raw, aggressive, and tighter sounding than the Blue BC108 and it didn't quite clean up the same. The Teal BC109 kinda goes between the two, and in my opinion is maybe the most flexible. It can do the more aggressive stuff like the Red BC183, but can be smoothed out to be more like the Blue BC108. The Feel knob also seems to have a wider range, so you can get smoother or spittier fuzz tones beyond your typical Fuzz Face. All in all, the Blue BC108 might be my slight favorite. There's just something special about the way it's voiced that's perfect for my tastes. Can't go wrong with any of them though - Chase Tone makes great pedals!
