I have the Raster 2 and Polymoon... Polymoon: Gorgeous, lush and unique.. Raster: Can do varied stereo subtle soundscapes all the way up to crazy wizardry meanderings.. Update; Have the Mood now too.. Amazing 🤘

Great choices! That’s a true sound design playground :) thanks for watching Patrick!

Happy Easter Sunday! Thanks for watching :)

[@DreamscapesMusicCinema]

Wow! This was so awesome ! Thank you Miles for your great Demo on these pedals. I have recently put together a pedal board for my Synthesizers. I guess in need a bigger one now!! Lol. I hope all is well in Your world 🌎. Mark Bensette Aux Bois 🇨🇦.

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Thanks for watching Mark! Appreciate the kind words. Agreed - you can never have too many pedals for synths ;) any one of these gets a thumbs up from me.

[@gregbrookman]

Awesome demos. Think I’ll be getting a Polymoon because of this demo. Thanks

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Thank you so much! Enjoy ! Its a killer pedal. And I have another best pedals video coming tomorrow, check back on the channel :)

[@gregbrookman]

@@MilesAwayOfficial bought my Polymoon yesterday. Just waiting for it to be delivered 😃I'll be sure to watch your other vid!

Incredible Video as Always 💯 my favourites were 1. Meris Polymon 2. Mood Bliss 3. Death By Audio 👌 Amazing Effects 👌 all the pedals absolutely quality 🤩 🙏🏼 🤩 🙌

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

great choices! Thanks for watching Jay!

[@Jason_Drums_]

@@MilesAwayOfficial Absolute pleasure 😊🙏🏼🤩 🙌

[@MacLamar]

One I have my eye on is the Nemesis Delay by Source Audio. Unbelievable crazy sound manipulation.

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

I haven't tried that one! It looks amazing, did you get it?

[@saardean4481]

Love your video structure. Not too much talking and cant thank you enough for mentioning if they are stereo or mono and things like that at the beginning of the video.

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching :) new pedal video out tomorrow

[@PatrickNorris10]

Used to think of myself as a reverb guy and it turns out, I’m a delay guy. Still love a good reverb but it doesn’t sound “right” unless my signal is delayed and repeated as well.

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

For real! When I was new to production I undervalued delay, but it really creates space so well. do you have a favourite delay?

[@PatrickNorris10]

@@MilesAwayOfficial right now it’s my black fountain oil can delay from OBNE. It’s really simple to get a good sound out of it.

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

@@PatrickNorris10 oh sick! i've never played an OBNE pedal on my channel yet but they look amazing, thanks for the recommendation!

Good Video My Friend! 😊😁

Thanks for the review.....for me the meris and death by audio

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Great choices! Stay tuned for my video on the Meris LVX coming soon!

[@aptudo]

I’ll take one of each. 😂 Great job playing to each of their strengths. If I could only have one effect, it would, without question, be delay.

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Thanks Rob! Hyped you enjoyed, and totally agree LOL as much as I’m a diehard ambient reverb fan, Delay is my desert island effect too :)

this was the first video creator on yt

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

not me! but jawed gave me a random shout out so welcome, check out my music here too, Bring Me Back - Miles Away

[@martinpohl2747]

I Just got the Polymoon a couple of days ago - still exploring. Get's deeper and deeper the more you get into it. Truly fascinating pedal.

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Enjoy ! It is such a good pedal! Check out my full length video on the Polymoon to get a good tour of it :)

THANX

Hope you enjoyed! Which one was your fave?

[@nikolazimmermann8547]

@@MilesAwayOfficial Hi, thanx for the question, Fairfield for Emotion, Polymoon for ping pongs, Mood for experimental textures : )

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

@@nikolazimmermann8547 late reply but great choices! That Fairfield is on all my new recordings

[@GREENMAYNE]

Would you say the first pedal is similar to that Drifting Memory Station? Are you familiar?

[@hulkslayer626]

I really need a Death By Audio pedal lol

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

They really are a vibe eh!

[@777Witness]

Any recommendations for chorus pedals or vsts? Thanks!

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Hey! I use my Empress Zoia for chorus for pedals, and it can do way more (video next week on it!) I also like Choral by Native Instruments or the excellent free TAL-Chorus-LX plugin. I'd really like to get a strymon mobius eventually as the one I tried was incredible, but for now the above 3 are my go-tos :)

Have you tried Dreadbox's Raindrops?

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

I haven't! It looks awesome, just didn't exist when I made this vid

[@AbeldeBetancourt]

Niccccce! Is this enough engagement collab? I really wanna help out your channel, babe. BTW Mood vs Raster 2... Go!

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Mood is more fun to use! I'd get the Mark 2 which is stereo. Raster does the pitched delay thing super well though, if you like that its way deeper and the pitching sounds better to me.

[@ImZzacc]

why r u in jawed description

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

no idea why he shouted me out

[@evryordnryprsn]

Do you still have the DSI Pro2?

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

No , sadly sold it! I never really got along with that one, the digital oscs and the paraphony wasn't for me, and now the 3rd Wave does everything I ever wanted from the Pro 2 and more. The only think I miss is the Sequencer, which is insane. One day I'd like to try the Pro 3 for that reason.

[@mau.pindah7173]

Are you jawed??

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

im not jawed, im not sure why he gave me the shoutout on me at the zoo! but welcome to my channel, check out my music too: Bring Me Back - Miles Away

[@djLovelyTime]

You missed the Zen Delay

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Haven't tried it but Im sure I will love it, Erica Synths rocks!

[@fakefirmware]

Why tf is the coffee is moving around so much in the start 😂 anyways i have nemesis delay and it's very good super wet or not. I think with any delay like to max it and get lost then come to my sense and really appreciate 10% 😊

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

haha just having fun with B-roll filming ;) I have heard great things about the Nemesis! Would love to try it!

[@immeshere3929]

R u friends with jawed? I need to know can u contact him somehow? I want to see if he’ll ever make another vid in his life...

[@emilianoibarra3537]

best digital delay for electronic music? want to use it on a dj set, want digital delay and ping pong delay

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

hey! i tend to go for weirder pedals rather than the classics, but the Meris Polymoon in this video is my favourite digital delay of all time, with the Empress Echosystem as a close second.

[@emilianoibarra3537]

@@MilesAwayOfficial thanks!

[@ShaighJosephson]

I would remove the Echo Dream and Meet Maude from this list...and replace them with the TimeLine and Future Factory...

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

both good pedals as well! Althought imho the timeline is outclassed by the Echosystem which does almost the same thing but can run two delays at once.

[@Klocaine237]

Nice. I really enjoyed your eco system demo. I had one before and now I have a new one 😂😂😂

Haha, glad I could help! Great to hear!
