Oh my, aren't you the most lovely fella! I am amazed and i enjoyed, thank you so much.

[@ponderersounds3172]

Cheers, thanks for watching all these vids.

[@tracylockwood5653]

This is the single most incredible sounding opening of any pedal demo I’ve EVER heard,...shite-wow!!!

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@tracylockwood5653]

I have to ask: The intro/outro music-guitar? Chords? I am so in love with that piece I want to try and reproduce it....🤤

[@ponderersounds3172]

Oh I don’t know! I’d have to sit down and figure it out, very high chance it’s an alternate tuning too

So many cool pedals. But so little money.

[@ponderersounds3172]

That’s the really issue isn’t it

[@scomu9742]

Now i want it so hard ! Can’t figure out how you always get so much inspiration for your awesome demos

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks man, you just gotta let the pedal speak ✌🏼

[@ryehlb]

Danngg. This is one crazy pedal. I love it.

[@jonaseggen2230]

What a beautiful filter. Interesting alternative for eurorack to.

[@ponderersounds3172]

Lots of fun, keen to write some proper tracks with it now👌🏼thanks for watching!

[@eddieriviello]

Wow! An effect I've never personally tried, but you showed how musical a filter/modulation machine can be. Extremely inspiring - and thank you for the C3P0 clip, I was looking out for it! Haha another stellar demo!

[@ponderersounds3172]

It’s definitely a tool everyone can get something out of! Thanks for watching!

[@0228christian]

I got mine in the mail a few days ago, this thing is so much fun! Your demo gave me some great ideas. :)

[@ponderersounds3172]

Enjoy man! Thanks for watching

[@noise_hill]

Awesome!!! Thank you!❤

[@ponderersounds3172]

🙌🏼

[@LondraCalibro9]

this looks great. I got the vermona retroverb lancet - but very tempted by this - beautiful looking device. superb video btw - thank you - very tasteful and beautiful music. a+++++++ (that beat with the ducking whistle - so cool)

[@ponderersounds3172]

Yeah it’s rad hey! The best part was a total accident, I’ve sampled it a couple of time ✌🏼

[@Tim8tei]

The sound starting at 5:19 is so cool, love it.

[@ponderersounds3172]

Cheers! It’s a rad pedal

[@EleniEliades_]

This Pedal creates so many eclectic and intriguing sounds. Great idea to have it be CV & Midi patch-capeable ! This will work well with my Modular Synth. 💖💥🔥💡🌟

[@ponderersounds3172]

Definitely will, and get experimental with the gating kick thing! Thanks for watching!

[@treyvisqueux7973]

Great pedal, killer demo!

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks man!

[@chinmeysway]

Aaaah. This is future of effects! Get those boxes off the ground so you can admire craft build quality and save on back pains! I always say.

[@ponderersounds3172]

Yeah sometimes it’s nice to get really hands on isn’t it! Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@amstaffyoshi1480]

Sick demo

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thank you!

[@davidsummerville351]

Wow! This is a pedal I need to learn about.

[@ponderersounds3172]

Yes it is! Thanks for watching!

[@BB69175]

Sick gloves. Must be cold in there 🥶

[@ponderersounds3172]

The old studio was actually freezing!

[@studbagl]

Whoa!

[@ponderersounds3172]

Double whoa, it’s insane!

[@konnektlive]

Thanks for the video! I was just wondering, would you please check the noise level of this pedal? I mean the comparison when it's turned off and out of the signal chain, in compare to when it's engaged. I just want to know the level of hiss or noise with this unit (especially with overdriven/fuzz sounds). My sounds are usually dirty or half broken up, so anything that adds unwanted hiss or hum or noise would be a big no in my setup. Cheers!

[@ponderersounds3172]

Hey there, it’s been a while since I’ve plugged it in but from memory it’s completely silent. If I get a chance and remember I’ll check again 👍🏼

[@tattllznl7759]

Just scored one. Where should I put it on my pedal board?

[@ponderersounds3172]

Totally up to you, you can get wildly different results (all great!) in different places!

[@Ghoopty]

Great demo. Hey, that riff that starts @ :32……fucking sublime!!

[@ponderersounds3172]

Thanks friend! It’s a corker 🤘🏼

Have been torn between this and tracer city by snazzy fx. Any help?

[@ponderersounds3172]

VONGON!! Snazzy is very good, but the Paragraphs is my fave!

[@iosifkalpaktsoglou2045]

@@ponderersounds3172 thanks.much appreciated

[@redwood-in-stereo]

Hola😊 Without overthinking it, If you were to add an experimental mod. pedal to an ambient board, what would be your first choice between this and the romferd?

[@ponderersounds3172]

This. Love Romferd but this covers different ground that you can fake with other pedals. A delay of most sorts could get close to some Romferd sounds, not all but some.

[@boonatuna]

I watched like 30 of your demos last night haha. So a lot of your guitar tone, for the synthy sounds is coming from Apogee Duet Preamps? Not this pedal?

[@ponderersounds3172]

Firstly thanks for all the views! No you misunderstand, the guitar is recorded through amps but the synth tones are through the interface preamps. Used to be an Apogee but now I’m using Audient.

[@boonatuna]

Awesome! Thanks for the reply. I’m looking for something that does what the Moog MF101 does quality-wise but I want to do a filter sweep with anexpression pedal. Do you have any recommendations? I contacted the maker of this pedal and he said he can’t put an expression on the LFO.

[@ponderersounds3172]

Check out the Dr Scientist Dusk or Death by Audio Evil Filter

[@boonatuna]

@@ponderersounds3172 thanks I just ordered the dr. Scientist pedal, great call!

[@pnwajs3532]

Anyone know how similar this is to the Spaceman Artemis? I'll probably end up owning both eventually, but I kinda want one now. I play a variety of instruments. Guitar (shoegaze, ambient), drum machines, synths. (Digitone, Digitakt, DFAM, Typhon, Minilogue XD, TR-8S, 0-Coast). I see this pedal demoed on youtube mostly with synths, drums, and modular setups, but not too often with guitar. Which is more of my focus at the moment.

[@ponderersounds3172]

I’d give this the edge over Artemis, they are both fantastic but this has a larger range and few more performance features that might come in handy.

[@ME-ru4hv]

How did you get Tim Gane to play on this one?? He asked you because he loves this pedal? ; )

[@ponderersounds3172]

Who? Wha? Nobody but me playing on this… is this a joke I’m missing? 🙃

[@ME-ru4hv]

@@ponderersounds3172 Well your riffs are straight out the best Italian or French soundtracks.. Tim Gane is from Stereolab - a compliment for sure👍

[@ponderersounds3172]

Haha great! I’ll have to check it out, appreciate the kind words!

[@INTOTHETERROR]

Can you play octaves with this?

[@ponderersounds3172]

Nope, it’s a filter, some frequencies sound up or down an octave but it’s not really doing that.

[@KunchangLeeMusic]

Would you choose a dusk pedal or paragraphs ?

[@ponderersounds3172]

They’re both phenomenal, I think Paragraphs has a slightly broader better sounding filter and is easier to dial in but the Dusk has MIDI, presets, etc, and sounds awesome in its own right. Would depend on what my needs were. I have both so I don’t have to choose 😁

[@KunchangLeeMusic]

@@ponderersounds3172 thanks for the response - I think I may pull the trigger with the paragraphs

[@chinmeysway]

Hey is the reverb onboard via volca sample? Doesn’t seem to do anything on mine.........help. Haha Love this demo ps

[@ponderersounds3172]

Hey, I’m sorry I don’t quite understand what you mean? I have a little reverb in post going on.

[@ponderersounds3172]

[@stefanbrekke2973]

That this doesnt have a ducking possiblity from an extra source is a tragedy

[@ponderersounds3172]

Perhaps the only thing worth adding really!

[@Mr911Medic]

First pedal Im buying if I ever get into a band that plays Robot Fuck Music

[@ponderersounds3172]

Yasssss! I’ll be in the front row 🤘🏼

[@Luxsound67]

Such a cool pedal - but sorry : When i see in - and outputs on top like this - i have enough...😨

[@ponderersounds3172]

It’s definitely geared towards the more unorthodox users but, as much as I feel the same as you in most cases, Paragraphs is just so awesome I just don’t give AF! Haha, it’s so much fun, maybe even the best filter I’ve played.

[@Luxsound67]

@@ponderersounds3172 Absolutely agree - such a nice and interesting pedal - but all the more annoying, when there's no way to integrate it on a pedalboard cause of shit like that, you know...

[@willhurt3446]

All it needs is a function generator.

[@HostilePlanet]

I want this. And this. And this. And this. But i have wife.

Haha that’s a real hurdle
