Nahre Sol what?! A piano player watching guitar stuff? Your piano skills is on another level. Love your videos😍 Also can’t wait for your next IG LIVE

[@MMLeatherCraft]

This is one of the most useful and BS free pedal videos I've ever seen. Thank You!

[@guillrponce9243]

The poetic approach in the intro, the high quality images and music its awesome! So original and beautiful. Thanks!!

[@thelowercasepeople]

Dig the track at the beginning man. Explosions in the sky vibes

[@yurakolesnikov9725]

I ask, no, I DEMAND the full version of this track! The first seconds I heard it, so sweet memories that never happened to me, hit me so hard.. Sitting by the fireplace in my house, it's raining outside, beautiful blonde wife and 3 kids are with me.. We are happy, I'm playing guitar, we're drinking hot chocolate.

[@patrickpugh8101]

Yeah was that first round of reverb big sky as well? Just that huge swell.

[@zgteMala]

I dont even have a reverb pedal and I'm watching this

[@owen4255]

truth and common sense warrior it’s huge too lol

[@luketanner7638]

I’ve tried probably 6 different reverbs including having multiple pedals that focus on different types of reverb and while they sound great, none of them come close to the versatility or depth of the strymon.

[@joeymorse365]

@@luketanner7638 Have you tried the boss dd-200 or dd-500?

[@michael_caz_nyc]

@@joeymorse365 Those are Delay Pedals.

source audio ventris. two dsp with 56-bit processing each. who cares about 10 yrs old big sky?

I love how the dude was ready to jump out of his seat, that passion is contagious. Keep up the good work! :)

[@eggyolk2825]

That intro, that sound... oh my gawd! That was so beautiful

[@Jakal-pw8yq]

Damn man, I've been playing guitar for 50 some years and it never ceases to amaze me how much I learned from watching your videos! I appreciate you man and I think you're playing is next level!

[@oc_vatsal_1197]

The Intro was so "Coldplay-yy" I fucking loved it.

[@Ibenflow]

A great thing with the BigSky & TimeLine (and probably Mobius) which is useful when wanting to recreate a patch is if you change anything the preset button will change its color to red and when changed back it turns green again. Yoy could go through all knobs like that to see what settings you dialed in! :) great video!

[@EntireHistory]

Which one is the button to switch between presets?

[@GermanGallardoMusic]

Your videos keep getting better and better. Inspiring. Keep going, Rhett!

[@bobtone101]

Great Video Rhett, nice to watch someone that knows how to actually use the pedal and demonstrate it well.

[@oskarnystrom4643]

That intro song is amazing Rhett!

[@wi11.0w1sp]

Excellent videography and music! Loving the intro. Had to like before I even made it into the actual video!

[@calebtylershepherd21]

Man I’d love to hear you put out a solo record with this exact kinda stuff like the intro! Just awesome, especially with the cinematography, and visuals. The intro reminded me of a lot of the stuff Julian Baker does. That was killer!

[@rockindavebyron3960]

Very creative, love it!!! I agree, reverb can create such a beautiful sound scape, much more than distortion, great job Rhett, really enjoy the videos bro, God Bless !!!

[@chrissoares23]

Great vid Rhett, love the way you demo stuff. Learned a bunch. But that intro track....damn. So good.

[@KelsterVonShredster]

Your strymon videos are super helpful, thanks. I'm learning a lot and a big reason why I got them in the first place! Strymon should hire you. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada

[@PJmars100]

An evocative and beautiful video on many levels Rhett. You’re an artist..

[@Bad_Phil]

Great discussion on how to get a sweet reverb without it wetting it too much... pre-delay is definitely a key to that... still learning about the other parameters

[@starttherebellion9146]

Great reverb tips Rhett! - Years ago I had an old analog spring reverb, and I got this amazing effect out of it I've never been able to replicate. It sounded like a jet engine accelerating into some kind of "hyper drive". I got this sound by massively over-driving the unit (which I assume was designed for line-level) by placing it _after_ the power amp section and slowly turning the amp up from zero until it sounded insane and then doing a dive-bomb on the whammy bar. -- As the whammy went down the insane distortion actually went "up" through some kind of zero point and into this weird "phasey" modulated distortion reminiscent of the final fade-out of Van Halen's Eruption. It was really other-worldly sounding and makes me want to pick up an old analog spring unit off of eBay and try to recreate it. - Not sure I'm that adventurous any more though, lol.

[@starttherebellion9146]

I may have had a phaser somewhere in the chain around the pre-amp section as well. I probably did as I used to use a slow phaser almost all the time on leads back then.

[@anthonymclaughlin6164]

I just dialed in the first 3, so good, exactly what I have been wanted thank you!!!

[@greenman9123]

I just bought this pedal and I love it. Definitely a lot to learn with it but this was very helpful thank you

[@neobtamedina]

The raining footage is awesome as your playing, great intro!, i really enjoyed.

[@randygomez9595]

That intro was beautiful. And those reverb sounds are really, I gotta mess around with reverbs now. I especially liked that shimmer effect

[@TheSokodelic]

Thanks for setting up the launching pad for all of us noobs! After seeing my buddy pick one up, I had to get one, and your video has helped me get the fuel I need to blast off. Superb descriptions of all the effects knobs and how they interact. Subbed and liked!

[@isaaccourtney6208]

Very helpful video. Nicely done on the explanations of knobs and sounds.

Wowwww. The audio and video production quality (on the intro especially) is brilliant!

[@billconley6246]

Rhett, I found your channel from Rick Beato and want you to know how much I enjoy your work and contributions to my musical knowledge and growth. I think you offer so much practical know how in a very engaging way. keep up the good work.

[@mikebabineau9335]

Gotta be honest, I keep coming back just to listen to the intro over and over!

[@KingTabor]

You have a genuine sense and feel for great movie photography

[@the-creech4790]

Beautiful playing Rhett! Gotta get me one of those Strymons. I've been using my Soldano Space Box forever. Might be time for something new.😁

[@ericprincen3345]

I love the textures you create in both this video and the delay video. I like the m7#5 feel you had in one of them. Do you have videos on your favorite chord voicing for lush sounds? I've mostly seen gear.

[@JacksonPlaysMusic1]

Your videos are so helpful that I take notes...

[@JordanRiehm]

great tips and clear explanation. Thanks!

[@ericlebaron47]

Hey Rhett, Really appreciate these effects uses, tips and tricks. Thank you so much. I will check out your Tone Course. Thanks.

[@joeloesch1219]

Rhett, you're putting up great information for musicians. Great tone work. And "weird science" is tasty!

[@thigarciaable]

Thank you so much, mate! Those tips are gold!

[@alexanderlumberjack]

great tones.. love the look of that guitar as well

[@JacobH93]

I’ve had a couple nice reverbs but honestly the best shimmer verb I’ve ever heard was on a boss RV6. If you get the tone in the right place to where you don’t really hear the octave swell in, it can make some beautiful soundscapes. To me shimmer can be really nice when used subtly! Especially with swells Currently thought I just use a Neunaber immerse. I love the wet sound but I wish I had something with more sounds available on presets. I play in church mostly and the settings I use are somewhat close to the preset you called versatile.

[@0nejah]

Thanks for nice video. Plate+shimmer combo was awesome on my Blue Sky, really missing it on the Big Sky

[@glisteningkabana8154]

Great tones and tips man!

[@stephensmith799]

Light and shade in that opening track is GREAT👍. Like hearing festival scale rock in blazing sunshine…

[@greenrumour]

just bought a pedal board today and one of the toys on its the strymon big sky. i havent even tried it yet. just wanted to see your take on it before hiting it. Thanks for posting. Weird science, great name for that effect.

[@obhmusic]

Sounds like the Bigsky is clipping.. When you power up the Strymon stuff hold down the right footswitch (C/tap), then scroll (using the type encoder) to «level», there you can se if the bigsky is getting a to hot signal! Strymon is designet for «line level», so it works best after a preamp!

[@Dartheomus]

I heard that breakup. Rhett said it was the amp, but I agree... that sounded more like clipping.

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Couldn't it be Digital Distortion? - from Too Hot a Signal going to the Recording Device? Either way - enjoy your videos brother.

[@Jay-vs4fi]

Either way it sounds great!

[@arkeeper]

Yeah some of those didn't sound like break up distortion from the amp, sounded more like clipping

[@mgregory22]

Thanks for that! Did not know about test mode. Totally undocumented.

[@rockindavebyron3960]

Plus very informative & creative, & again, great job bro !!!

[@Love46Paris]

Gave this video a thumbs up for the intro alone. It was beautiful 😍

[@MatoMisik]

Great. Thanks for this! I like your taste for reverb sounds. How you deal with reverbs (and delays) if every club/gig place is different... sometimes is too much and sometimes opposite. Thx

[@hopelessable]

Rhett this video made me smile. Going to check out THE TONE COURSE.

[@SteamAllchill]

I almost snagged me one of these, they are really amazing! Price was not an issue nor was the size. I opted for the Wampler mainly due to the fact that, I probably would never use even half of the features on the big sky. There are many who do and to those a big thumbs to them and the big sky.

[@GeneLLynch]

This is such a huge help.....thank you

[@ChaseandMelia]

Excuse me while I show you a movie grade rain sequence while priming you for a guitar tutorial. #multitasking

[@avjake]

Your tones are to die for, IMO.

[@TrailOfSound]

Great video! Really liked the shimmer tip!

[@jakestewartmusic]

Killer intro! This video is helpful for understanding why guitarists might want multiple reverb sounds on a gig. I'm a bit of a minimalist and like to use the onboard spring reverb in my Carr Rambler. I plug straight in, crank the amp to 10, use my guitar controls to dial back, and barely turn up the reverb to get a touch-sensitive reverb that you feel more than hear. From there, I can wind it up or down depending on the vibe and the room.

[@UnleashDLion]

Hi Rhett! This video has definitely inspired me to exhaust all the possible sounds out of my EQD Astral Destiny + Keeley Caverns v2 combo. Thank you so much. Back to tweaking haha

[@davidlugo2971]

lovely video, God bless you bro!

[@jonaseggen2230]

Playing synth I really like what you do at the end, replacing people like us so we can go to the bar and grab a drink : ) But seriously, I like what you do there, especially when going weird. In the world of modular synths the saying is that you can not have enough VCAs. I think in the world of music in general you can not have enough reverb pedals. I got a Tc electronic Hall of Fame that I made a ridiculous patch for in the Tone Print editor. I have no clue as to what is going on there, but with it i found some sweet spots for gradually camouflaging what I'm playing and turn it into something totally recognizable and different. I also just recently got a Eventide Space that I just scratched the surface on what it can do. Then for you as I think I saw an Earthquacker Devise on your board, and you said in another video that you love delays especially, that you if you haven't should try the Avalanche Run, and or maybe the Disaster Transport SR.

[@neinbanananein]

This is gold advice. Tnx!

[@tomthexton7813]

I recently have been looking at different Reverb pedals and Delay pedals, I have been considering the Big sky and the Time line. But yeah man you confirmed it. I'm going to save up and get those pedals 🎛️🎛️🎸🎶 😊

[@jackleyton5504]

I just watched your Profiler tops video but could not add comments for some reason. It was a great show and I cant wait to load up your free profiles and then buy some more if they sound as good as they do on the site. Great tips by the way. Im now subscribed. Im a real fan of some of your tone shaping. Thanks again for some awsome videos and advice.

Fantastic!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@markalan1501]

NICE pedal board. I would love to have that. Great job building that.

[@mightyV444]

You're quite the sound architect, Mr Shull! And you play well, too! I love it! :-) I have yet to hear that 'shimmer' reverb at church, I was more reminded of U2's 'The Unforgettable Fire' album and something from Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida' one. 13:09 reminds me of Andy Summers' guitar synth sounds, and he had tuned it to 5ths also. Nice stuff, and greetings from NZ! :-)

[@oneirodrone4430]

I really enjoyed this video!

[@JMnyJohns]

Very helpful, thanks. You get at the biggest challenge for us non-pros - what to do with the gear we buy. I mean we buy it for a reason - example: I buy a TC Nova mod pedal for some Chorus for Rush songs and maybe Flange for EVH. However, I don't really know much of what else it can do or how to do it. I would guess most people don't know even standard techniques - like your comment on using room and plate for small vs. spring for large. There a great business out there for someone to just tell people how to use the thousands of dollars of gear they've got in new and interesting ways. This vid helps with that. Thanks again. BTW - you should talk more on the Beato gigs - the other (repair) guy, always does all the talking. ;-)

[@michael_caz_nyc]

If you want a Pedal the will give you that Classic Alex Lifeson Chorus - buy the Free the Tone Tri Avatar Chorus ( just trust me) = Phenomenal Pedal. ( by far ) The Best Chorus I have ever heard, & I have Tried them All. For the Van Halen Flanger , Id just buy the MXR EVH Flanger (not my personal choice), as I prefer The Mooer Elec Lady / EHX Mistress clone.

This guy is the real deal. I really like the tones you get from your Lightning 15 and Morgan 20 amps. How would you compare the two? Which has more headroom and takes pedals better?

[@noelbridgeman99]

Some good tips there, many thanks 👍

[@PavelP]

Great video; well done!

[@jamescarlson2810]

Yea I agree with that point on using longer and more wet reverbs for more simplistic guitar parts, I think thats something Coldplay’s guitarist does very well. I think I’m just gonna get an rv6 to start with.

[@gms2s]
