Cool delay rundown, Rhett. That intro, however, was truly something. You should absolutely continue combining your music and/or demonstrations with those visuals. You clearly have a knack for it.

[@etherelement]

Grand Moff Tarkin I second that

[@almightytreegod]

Yes! I was thinking the same

[@mightyV444]

+ 1! :-)

[@foxbrewster]

Seriously awesome intro. What camera were you using for those close up guitar shots? Depth of field, angle, color, all so beautiful. Really nice work.

[@notbraindead7298]

Rhett Shull has the very best taste in playing hauntingly ethereal guitar licks. The intro to this video is just one more example.

[@jarettmorgan1535]

Really enjoy the casual approach you have to your videos. They are very easy to watch and listen to. And you of course have great content. Keep up the good work man!

[@MatoMisik]

Rhett, finally someone share how he is using delays. Thanks! I love this personal, practical tips how "pros" using their gear... especially for live shows. I would be happy for the same video but with reverb. Thanks man :)

[@RhettShull]

Thanks man, the reverb one is on the list!

[@KM_1983]

@@RhettShull Think he means do a whole video on Reverb

[@marciolima20]

The best intro on you tube ever... I though it was an advertising in the beggining.... WoW!!! Great Job Rhett! Congratulations!

[@gamian_skillard1333]

Excellent video. Knew most of these tricks, but great to show exactly WHERE these particular applications are best sewn into the sound.

[@northvu9923]

That's key to what the Edge does. He uses delays and reverbs to add "character to simple parts". Does it brilliantly.

[@the-creech4790]

It's about time you played something for us! I was starting to think you were just a collector. 🤣 Thanks for the sweet tones! Vince

[@jamesholmberg3158]

That 1st off the hook effect with adjusting the delay with knobs great! Brought back some memories of my early playing days using my pedals to the extreme. Achieving a Thermin effect of sorts. You were getting close to intro to Welcome To The Machine

[@leostravalli]

Man, your tips are amazing! I've surfed arround your almost ALL vídeos in your Channel and learn a Lot! Thanks!!!Greetings from Brazil!

[@antoniojosevidelinares8236]

I think that I watched and LISTENED this intro 20 times today!!!!! It's really AMAZING

[@jamesk.bishop105]

First video of yours I've seen, not even halfway through it, and I'm subscribing. I appreciate the way you break down what's going on and explain its place in the sound.

[@periloustemple8290]

OMG. I love this so much, Rhett. Late to the party - but this was posted a day before my 49th bday. Hello from Mississippi and Happy New Year!

[@notbraindead7298]

If you've listened to Rhett's guitar playing over the past few years you know he has no real reason to use any kind of effect pedal. He is that good. I, on the other hand, need all the pedal tricks I can get. So Thanks for the great video, Rhett.

[@janniswiese]

I have waited for a video like this. That intro alone! Thanks!

[@ripplebear]

That intro was killer!

[@chandlertheorange]

Loved this. Thx. I like when you show how you dialed up the effects. I am new to the strymon world and it has so much to offer. You give a little insight into what each know does etc. Thx

[@WorshipFog777]

I norally don't watch or follows "guitar vlogs" or what you call it, but you have so much good stuff I can't help but susbcribe and dive into your videos. You are amazing!

[@thekolt533]

Luv how subtle delay and reverb can be added to parts that bring in that earthy ambience effect adding depth setting the mood for the track!! Thanx as always for the insight!!

[@maxwellharmon4172]

this video is INSANE! thank you for making it. the end could be an advertisement for strymon timeline pedals. cheers dude!

[@ronniewilliford3449]

Thank you, Rhett. Very nice lesson. Am jacking up my delay & rev right now to try some of this.

[@ZebraheadFreak]

Holy Dang! That intro was incredibly artsy!

[@ramon2008]

Yeah dude dafuck did we listen to!!!! Shit was insanely beautiful why isn’t this guy doing more shit

Dude what a mad intro to this vid!! Nice

[@freeelectron8261]

I loved that intro - into the desert! Took me back to the first time I heard Joshua Tree U2 - just awesome! Rhett rocks! Rhett's red rocks ;)

[@douginny]

Wow. I watched this before I got the Strymon and it was overwhelming. Now that I've had it for about a month now this is extremely useful. Thanks.

[@christopherchard1874]

Ahhhh what a video!! I have recently purchased a timeline and this is the first actually helpful timeline tutorial I have found. Loved your stacking gain pedals video too. Keep up the great work!!! Subscribed :)

[@ptortland]

Love these vids that you do! Although I've been playing acoustic since the 70's, I'm new to electric starting a couple of years ago. Learning the basics and the nuances of pedals can be overwhelming. Your clarity and straightforward approach is refreshing. (I found you from the recent video you did with Tim Pierce. I'm glad I did!)

[@jahrojasexqsys5238]

I must say, the intro songs you put together for these videos, are absolutely amazing. I have no doubt you could easily and quickly create generic, by the numbers jams which would sound just fine. That you don't do this, choosing to put some creative effort out instead, makes these compositions that much cooler. They're interesting, unique and definitely sound amazing.... Style for days! Much appreciated!

[@acealeshire]

That chorus trick is top notch❤

[@CharliePutz]

Hey Rhett! It would cool if you did a tutorial video on how to record a backing track from A to Z. Great stuff as always!

[@boyo3221]

thats the best music you ever played...the intro !!!! no played out blues riffs or noodles

[@pgestudio75]

Great tips! 12:30 and 13:30 parts are essentially what Tom Scholz of Boston is doing on his famous 'hyperspace pedal' sound effect machine...only his is on an old analog Echoplex tape echo and of course, super modified.

[@aaronojeda4005]

Rhett you're amazing man! Have seen many channels on YT but you really stand out among others!! Here you have a new subscriber🤘😎

[@RhettShull]

Thanks Aaron!

[@scheve71]

Great video! IMHO - the best use of the spaceship delay (12:55) was by Hendrix on the intro to the Axis Bold as Love album, on a song called "EXP."

[@BrianElliot]

Producing Music totally! My favorite record ever! They didn't have Strymon back then but EL studios was pretty high tech for its time

[@scheve71]

@@BrianElliot Yeah, definitely a killer album!! It is amazing what Hendrix was doing with the technology of his time, and in a very musical/creative way.

[@marcosbrun7376]

An epic and inspiring intro...cool as usual Rhett's stuff

[@utai4571]

when i used to play live a lot with my band, i was really into the chaotic delay thing , i still am, but it broke my heart when in a deep space trip on stage i heard someone from the audiance scream at his friends "gosh that band sucks it's horrible" ! now it makes me laugh because it was almost ten years ago, but i've been echo blocked live !

[@samuelw3295]

I have the Bigsky and am getting ready to buy the Timeline. Strymon is the only way to go in my book. No other reverb and delay pedals sound as good. Love your tips for getting the right tone, which certainly is challenging but yet so much fun!

[@kylebichler2258]

After spending too much time researching the various delay pedals I’ve settled on getting the timeline. I was earnestly looking at other pedals and companies so I could have a different setup. However, the timeline is just simply too good. And honestly, I think it’s a good price considering how good this device is.

[@dahliafiend]

Yeaj i wasted money trying to find something else comparabñe.

[@bryannicholson7111]

Strymon is def the way to go… but now that I have the timeline, I really want the el capistan v2 also 😂… you can get most the way there with the timeline, but the capistan just has something extra/more character for tape delay. Strymon doesn’t really design for one or the other… it’s more here’s everything - and here’s some pedals to go even deeper into that preset you like (ie capistan with dTape… if you’re frequently using the dTape setting, you can go deeper and get more).

[@ax_el_alvarez]

Man, that intro was top notch!!! Thank you so much for this video!

[@worshipguitarjapan]

Cool stuff Rhett!! Now I'm convinced I don't need a chorus pedal on a pedalboard with a delay!!The reverse delay thingy is also SICK!!!!Keep it up bro!!!

[@ЕгорМурзаев-ш9о]

the last one is mindblowing :)

[@Maddy29]

Discovered your channel yesterday and subscribed. You're at 7.5 K subscribers right now. I'm gonna sit back and watch you hit a million soon...

[@atreidesN]

We need a full version of that intro. Excellent post rock

[@archie3k433]

I've got a Big Sky and a Timeline.... They were pricey but they were worth it. Even if you save to save up, do it. Insane amount of options.. Oh, and for anyone who wants both but can't figure out which one to ge first, it's the Big Sky. I love both but after having both for over half a year now, getting the Big Sky first is such an easy suggestion. If I could only keep one of them it would take me approximately 1 second to pick the Big Sky. Also, unless you're REALLY into delay options, the Timeline might not be the best pick for you. I love having all of the options but even I'll admit that 90% of the time I'm only really playing with the tape and digital delays. And some of the delay types I basically never use unless I'm just goofing around. Last bonus tip if you have a Big Sky and a Timline: randomly flip to presets on each pedal. Just randomly scroll and stop on one (for each pedal). Then play around with it... It might prove useless but sometime you'll stumble across something that inspires you to play a certain way, and then bang, you're playng something new. It's a fun exercise that might accidentally lead you into something cool, and at the very least it's just fun.

[@ghost79ish]

Admittedly, I didn't learn anything here but I enjoyed the video. The reason I didn't learn anything is because I was a pedal junkie before I got good at playing guitar. A couple years into my guitar journey I realized I was using pedals way too much to compensate for my limited abilities. Now, hopefully not sounding too arrogant, I'm really good with pedal tweaking and am a pretty damn good guitar player (of course to this is extremely relative)... The combination of the two, however, I think makes me stand out among my peers in the small town I'm from. Anyway, enough about me... Great content as usual. You were one of the people who convinced me to purchase a Helix. Time to go into outer space delay world. Peace

[@jerryhayden8720]

As I used to say "who needs drugs"? I haven't played hardly any in the past 30 years but I'm starting to get the fever to jam again. That was neat, thanks.

[@joelspaulding5964]

What a sweet opening tune- The Edge is jealous.

[@albertmadariaga4746]

Glad I found this. Although you can use "any delay", I just acquired a Timeline and wondered if I should keep it. Seemed overwhelming. Now, I'm determined to dig in and create the presets that first, give me these "tricks" (which are mostly sounds we all know and love) then create some of my own. Beats the hell out of getting beat up on forums! Thanks.

[@ThejusNair11gauge]

That was great Rhett! Some really cool techniques there :) Keep it coming!

[@jayK7347]

Thanks Rhett for the video, some great ideas for the woodshed and the Timeline. Let me add to some of the others a Big Sky video would be greatly appreciated. Nice work!

[@TheAngryBiscuitchannel228]

Also “Walking on air” by King Crimson

[@Guild176]

My only note on the tip using the dotted 8th delay for thickening up rhythm guitar is to turn the mix down. Awesome review, as always man.

[@keithrinehart809]

That was amazing! Great delay tips and love the intro song Rhett!😎👍🏼

[@marauderguitars]

I was always a fan of using two delay pedals. First one in the chain doing dotted 8’s second one straight 4’s with the mix set relatively high. Delay of a delay would certainly give some interesting sounds when done properly.

[@Buzzode]

Great Video , Need To Watch This as I Play Around with my Delay Pedal

[@johnhawkins191]

Those Strymon effects pedals sound great, lots more options than other pedals provide. Thanks for the tips.

[@sparkyguitar0058]

John Hawkins I'd have to disagree. I got a Carbon Copy and a DD-5 on my board. With a plastic piece glued to the mod button on the CC and the tap tempo switch added to the DD-5 gives me control on a lot of what he's doing. Now so far I'm not smart enough to figure out these without seeing and hearing what he's doing and that's why I'm here. But buying all these delays didn't cost me half what 1 Stymon cost used if you can find it. Just need to be a better player to get all those wonderful sounds. So much I can do with this knowledge he giving out here. Thanks Rhett, great lesson.

[@DavidRFIT]

Very nice video and very clever idea for a series. I have a suggestion: many people don't exactly know when and how to use different pickups combinations, especially on a Strat (but also in every other electric guitar). A video where you explain the most common uses AND your personal kind of uses in every position of the selector would be nice.

[@6StringPsychedelic]

Awesome man, i just ordered the strymon big sky and timeline.. Kind of want the boomerang , im not up to date with all the newer options though... Im excited though to get these.. hopefully thursday =)

That guitar is really really cool, both sounding and looking

[@aidenmohrmann1850]

That last trick absolutely HAS to be in a movie

[@randygomez9595]

That reverse delay though...😳 that is cool, I gotta try that. Another way to get a chorus effect with delays that I like to do is split your signal and run each signal through two different delays each with the repeats off and time set real low (like under 50 milliseconds) and each at a different time setting. This creates two signals slightly out phase causing a chorus effect to be heard. Pat Matheny does this kind of thing.
