Man. Opened YT and there you are! Too cool! It does sound really good. Really love those delays. Man, I can see how one can get lost in the ambient stuff for days. Just too cool. Great video Leon

[@LeonTodd]

It's a wonderful rabbit hole

[@courtney2018]

Yea, more videos on this please! lol Now you got me wanting one. Over the internet it sounds stunning, so in person it must be absolutely epic.

[@LeonTodd]

It's a stunner, not a bad sound in sight

[@stevenmgyori3826]

Well done Brother! Enjoyable and Pleasant! Thanks for sharing Leon and Be Well All!

[@skoggiehoggins1445]

excellent demonstration. thank you

[@LeonTodd]

Glad it was helpful!

[@danielpirone8028]

Great video as always- would love more with this pedal. Benn Jordan did a fun review for those wanting more.

[@LeonTodd]

Benn's vids are the best, I'm addicted to his channel atm

[@brandonproctor3639]

Very nice unit, sounds very large and ambient. Great riffs and licks Leon.. And these tones, OMFG they're magnificent! Edit: this might be somewhat trivial to some but I've never even thought of using different colour cables. This could make things very simplistic.

[@scootergreen3]

Very nice! I must have one!

[@lightinme217]

This pedal is truly amazing. I have had mine now for about 3 months and I am just now building presets with the pc software. Thanks for always sharing. Your playing is so awesome! Like you I am all about delays. This pedal does dotted 8th real easy using the pc software. Should be i to the midi next week once all the presets are built. Can’t wait to tie it all together with my G3. Thanks again great video!

[@LeonTodd]

Couldn't agree more!

[@mrbaiser4133]

This pedal needs a dual mono mode: delay to output a, reverb to output b. Delay for the main signal, shimmer reverb through a separate amp. That way, you could use a splitter in front of the Specular Tempus, to add an overdrive to the delay and a volume pedal to the shimmer (both have to be in front of the delay or reverb.)

[@seventhsealhere]

Interesting pedal. The multi tap delay and plate reverb sounded pretty good. I'm a simple guy when it comes to reverb FX though. 👍

[@jamdonut7692]

WOW great video dude! I was thinking of buy a Strymon Big Sky, but after watching your video i think i want the Tempus instead to run my Synths through!

[@jdjewellpa]

I got the guitar, I got the amp, I got it all, but I just can't play. When I watch videos like yours I love how you can just strum out tunes effortlessly, but at the same time It's depressing... Great video about the machine.

[@sadwingsraging3044]

Don't despair! Keep banging on at it and never ever loan out your 1985 Peavy Patriot guitar and amp to anyone or you will never see it again! ;-)

[@LeonTodd]

Stick at it - guitar is such a rewarding experience when we try to expand our own abilities rather than compare them to others. If you can afford it, find a teacher who can help you set a practice routine and work towards your goals as a player. If not, feel free to ask anything you like here!

[@brandonproctor3639]

Keep at it my friend! We were all there at one point so you just gotta keep on keepin on. Practice practice practice

[@jdjewellpa]

Thanks for the support and encouragement guys. Much appreciated.

[@davemcafeeguitar]

Great playing, great demo. Fantastic 👏

[@LeonTodd]

Thanks for listening! So many sweet verbs

[@davemcafeeguitar]

@@LeonTodd Hey just curious, were you running this pedal in stereo with 2 amps? I’m guessing that you did in the demo given all the cables running thru it. How does this pedal hold up in Mono on a pedalboard for typical guitar use?

[@LeonTodd]

@@davemcafeeguitar stereo, correct. You miss all the fun panning stuff in mono but for straight up delay and verb it's killer.

[@thefreemasons4824]

Love GfI 😍

[@BobGuido]

Been debating and teetering on the fence about getting this one for a long long time. With all the reverbs I own it's hard to justify, but wow, this sounds good. Ryan through the Anti-Shimmer was epic to the power of infinity.

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah it's definitely a "want" rather than a "need", but I'd be pretty curious to hear what you think about it. It's nowhere near as intuitive to use as something like a Bigsky (what is?) but there's some really lovely smooth, deep verbs in there.

[@AD1978leo]

I don't need this as I have an HX effects that I'm really happy with but, that doesn't mean I can't share my opinion and that is i think it sounds awesome. Also your singer... the way he accents "cry" was great!

[@dgortych]

Cool video, as always. H9 DelaysReverbs vs GFI who do you pick and why?!

[@LeonTodd]

Honestly they're both so good at what they do it's hard to split.

[@SteveRayMorse]

Cool vocals

[@LeonTodd]

Ryan's great isn't he?

[@208414]

I think the vocal reverb was the best tone of the video.

[@scootergreen3]

Man your fingers are like a machine, Fast! I thought I was fast.

[@manifestgtr]

Green PRS...a man after my own heart. Your playing is kind of similar to mine, too. Its kind of like a twilight zone episode watching this 🤨

[@BartoProductions]

yo! would i be able to individual turn on and off reverb and delay separately? cheers!

[@chartedvoyage657]

Hey Leon I really enjoyed your Circular Delay Boss video. Is it possible to make a circular delay using the 3tap delay in the Specular Tempus?

[@LeonTodd]

great question! I need to try that

[@thackerynewtonmusic5403]

@@LeonTodd Did you ever try it?

[@CaptainSexy90]

Would love to see you check out some old Lexicon PCM70/80's

[@LeonTodd]

As would I. All the clips I've heard sound incredible

[@sadwingsraging3044]

O M G What was that first song? My computer is down for the count so I can't go through my iTunes right now to assist me in figuring it out. I did hear a bit of Damn Yankees sound in there later on but that first song is bugging the hell out of me Leon. Oh wait,,,, !!! I think I know now but my computer won't bloody start to verify it!

[@LeonTodd]

Ragdoll Heaven Above!

[@sadwingsraging3044]

@@LeonTodd yep. I figured it out during the vocal part. There is another song that it reminds me of as well but I can't place it. MSG, Lillian Axe, Krokus, Helix, Armoured Saint, Saxon, hell it could be Whitesnake but I swear I have heard something close to it a long time ago. Oh well, it is all just a _Memory in the Making_ after all.

[@aleksmayer5907]

As I see just Delay or Reverb can be turned on, not both at same time, right?

[@nomojo1110]

Now you've made a video with the kind of playing that made me purchase it in the first place. Bahahaha :p

[@LeonTodd]

Meet ya halfway across the Great Australian bight and we can both jam through it in stereo!

[@rockostiffredi4276]

I feel slightly sea-sick, but enjoyed your playing as usual Leon.

[@metalgotte]

Leon how could you put the Specular as vocal fx? You reamp the vocals?

[@InnerPeaceSounds]

You can simply run it after a microphone preamp. Or use an AUX send on a console. Or a hardware effect loop in DAW. There are plenty of ways.

[@MorswinCzcigodny]

Do a review of gfi synesthesia

[@LeonTodd]

I would love to do that! Looks like an epic pedal.

[@pacod.g.1877]

It would be fantastic👏🎸🎛

[@kuyakoi3469]

Wait until you see the price

[@Cerusicus26]

I've heard it's very hard to program not versatile, and there is only 3 presets where you can play reverb and delay together. Is it true or not?

[@cdbrown30]

Say jewel next say dual. 😂

[@d-mack7053]

@Leon Todd HA!!! STOP!!! Your product demo videos make me want to spend money!!!

[@Christbearer57]

To me, almost a glorified reverb. Not very versatile.
