WILL ALABS PEDALS DISRUPT THE PEDAL MARKET? - $99 Delay, $99 Reverb, $99 Modulation & $109 Pitch

[@brubakersflatcakes9755]

There's a billion song intros in that delay pedal alone. Super cool!

[@SolidMitchRapp]

If there ever were proggy pedals, these are them. We can now play David Gilmore, Steve Howe, Jeff Beck, etc to our hearts' content.

[@muddymike10]

Great demo Ryan ! Give yourself a Hand 🖐😊...

[@mikeroadblock]

Love the hand!

[@russcrossland5254]

Will buy all 4 and would also like a "the Hand" please :)

[@coreyemil]

Love the hand! ✋

[@ralphhathaway-coley5460]

That Ring mod seems a lot more usable/musical than most guitar pedal ring mods, but without sounding bland. Guitarists are not the only ones who use effects pedals these days and these lend themselves to experimenting with.

[@60CycleHumcast]

its because its moving as a modulation instead of being a static pitch effect.

[@lordseph]

Dang. $79 on Amazon now if you have Prime.

[@hadleymanmusic]

Which ones no hiss no clip singing tight drive?

[@trev3971]

Hard for me to get excited about stolen/ported algorithms with a bougie graphic when so many legit pedal companies are doing the "line of $100 pedals" thing. Some of the sounds are cool, and if they were $40-50 the story would be a bit different, but these are double-price Calines, not half-price Walruses.

[@60CycleHumcast]

I’ve tried a lot of budget pedals over the years and you are dead wrong.

[@weedian710]

I can see myself getting this whole line of pedals. You might be right about them disrupting the market. I haven’t bought pedals in years, and I’m considering these.

[@bigted1953]

Isnt this the affordaboard king? 99 bucks? Come on.. might as well by low line JHS...Help someone thats a legend.

[@federicokempf7325]

Damn...exactly the same thing happens to me...

[@johninfl]

So glad for the mix knob on these pedals. Would be a great addition to synthesizer setup. Thanks for the great videos and the fun atmosphere well done.

[@GuitarJawn]

good idea

[@shaft9000]

Sure, since these fx are effectively synth patches to begin with, 50+ years ago. Pedal fx are basically a defined modular patch in "handier" form, more or less. These are useful with ANY setup from FOH to mixdown, just get your level and impedance matched and you're good to go with any I/O arrangement. Only limits are self-imposed - and the buildup of noise, as ever.

[@DMStern]

I want to know what kind of godawful noises you can make by connecting them in unintended ways. E.g. looping the left output back into the right input, or even more complex cross/feedback loops with multiple pedals.

[@60CycleHumcast]

Oh man. I like the way you think.

[@coryayers5496]

lol. Bro, you’re going to make me buy all four of them.

[@FuzzImp]

He be gushing. That’s the tier above dripping

[@GearGasms]

I did the delay and mod pedal and was equally impressed. You beat me by two weeks though and yours is, of course, better. 🤓

[@Simplertous]

Wow Ryan thank you!! At this price, it’s almost a no brainer to get these! The aesthetic is so beautiful on top of the quality and ramping features.

[@joellebrodeur1015]

Ryan knows I got the Cetus Reverb on Wednesday, lol. I am impressed with this pedal and roughly the same cost as my Flamma FS02 after 20% off coupon. I sent the Flamma back today and put this on my board. It didn't take long to hit in favorite settings and even got the beginnings of a song from the church setting alone. I am pulling the trigger on more. I already have two delays (3 Series Delay and Oil Can Delay), but tempted to get their delay and the modulation. I talked with a guy who gave them feedback on the pedals before they were ready to fine tune them. Alabs is a Singapore company by musicians who mainly did podcasting and video conferencing gear and finally delved into pedals. They are not a huge company like Donner or Flamma and none of these pedals are rebrands.

[@nerdebynature]

Appreciate the insight on the company!

[@Ren-X]

The foot activated hand is genius. Although I thought your solution was going to be a camera on the floor

[@joshuaevans1922]

Good shit. The ramping feature reminds me of what GFI systems does with their ORCA delay and SKYLAR reverb. That pitch shifter tho 😍😍😍

[@niclastname]

They went up in price a bit (I think they're $119), but even still they seem like an amazing deal. I just got the Cetus reverb and I love it so much!

[@Guitar_Get]

Dang nice! $20 off right now too. I bought all of them minus the pitch shifter. $80 for each of those is a steal.

[@bigted1953]

No drip... Dont worry about it.. i got the pedals for free... Its all gonna be ok.

[@60CycleHumcast]

Not every reverb needs to drip. Sure It would nice if they did. But there’s other styles of reverb.

[@Duane-mc2sy]

I have purchased the Timeslip... it will be arriving April 17th. I can't wait to get my hands on it! I will likely be buying the full line eventually, very impressive! The one thing I found is that they are NOT $99, the Timeslip was $118 plus tax on Amazon, but I think it will be well worth the extra $19... Thanks Ryan for a great demo of these cool pedals!

[@GreenSkyDill]

I’ll take ten of those hands. Do they come in non-white? 🤣

[@federicokempf7325]

What a great line of pedals really...in China they are doing things well...Alabs, CKK, Caline, M-Vave... I'm looking forward to buying pedals again! Damn!

[@codelicious6590]

God these are so fun and that, "The Hand" was so ridiculously funny! Great vid! Ive been hunting for a reverb and this is it without doubt, only thing is I want all these now!

[@caelenselke-minogue]

24:24 love the Pink Floyd sounds. This might be my new reverb... I never use spring reverb, like ever, so I don't need dripp, but love plate reverb and the other stuff on it. To boot, it's cheaper than a lot of other reverbs like the Ocean's 11, Hall of Fame, RV-6, etc.

[@MrJingles021]

Oh man, I'm so tempted to get the modulation pedal. I wish the tremolp had optipns for waveshape and harmonic tremolo though.

[@ryandague7177]

I fully expected him to pull out a midi control board to swap effects. Nope, he invented a fing-longer.

[@kens.5095]

Wish you would have used the ramp on reverse. That's a great effect. These pedals had you laughing and that's half the battle. Inspiration + enjoyment = success. Well done, Alabs!

[@murph1017]

Two Princetons! Very impressed with these. I love that you can set the range of the ramp sweeps. I wish Chase Bliss pedals let you adjust the travel distance of the ramping instead of either going to the top or bottom of a knob range.

[@GamerSirus]

$99 for stereo effects? That's huge. Might end up getting these instead of the TC ones I was going to get. Thanks Ryan! Now do some djent FFS!

[@robertthornton1657]

Incredible-sounding and cheap. What more do you want?

[@TheLordcasio]

OMG! Pedal KZbinrs everywhere REJOICE! Ryan has solved it all with "The Hand". Trade Mark that ASAP!

[@Deadpool_2028]

... But... But... When do pre-orders open for the 'Hand of Hum'??? 😂 Could do it in a kit, like the Notaklon!!!

[@Zeinzu2]

......... I guess....just wow. Thats about all I got. These are really very well designed just as pedals. But them prices got me like.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@georgehowell5877]

The HAND..........will make you wealthy beyond your wildest dreams......Way to go, Ryan!!! These pedals are very cool, indeed.....

[@djay6651]

Dang, dude! Space ship/alien planetscape for days....

[@thedeadxtras9927]

Love your Handy Foot Trigger invention. Gotta give you 11/10 for effort and creativeness for that one. A very handy device. Go go gadget hand!!

[@gwugluud]

Got the pitch perverter stomp. Def the most unique and featureful pitch effect pedal out there, and the price is right. That delay pedal..! 👍 Delay doesn’t normally enthuse me much; it’s a utilitarian effect, but this dev have my attn on this one. I’m liking what it does, having mod and pitch perversion available to apply to the repeats; interesting!

[@Impractical_Engineer]

Pitch shifter for $89? It will be here tomorrow. Thanks for the demo. You are appreciated.

[@jpm9628]

These are awesome pedals! Can't believe I'm only just now seeing this one. The reverbs sound incredible for any price, but unbelievably good for $99. Edit - prices have gone up and now, unexpectedly the modulation one is the CHEAPEST! Pedals are crazy, yo.

[@paulheartsongs]

Why are the pedal controls always on the floor? Some pedals had two parts, the controls and the switches. Maybe a two switch remote option for the floor would work well, with a lot of pedals you can mount closer to hand level. Bad idea?

[@hewhosits]

Great Hawkwind sounds from the modulation pedal.

[@attentionaddicts]

That's a high quality sounding reverb Also "the hand" is kinda creepy

[@jake5952]

The real question is how much for the hand 2x4 thingy

[@RaisonBaby]

Got the orbital pitch shifter. Love it. Use it for octaving fuzzes, baritone cleans any whatever weirdness i can find. Tracking is pretty decent. Just turn the volume up and add some Rate.

[@gtmuse329A]

I think Ryan really deserves a hand for this video…oh wait, he already has one! 🤚

[@soren81]

All hail The Hand! Can't wait for the many superior gear demos coming from that glorious invention in the coming many years.

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

I’ve been expecting more of this after the MASH on TC Delay and Boss having a few ramp effects on ME-90. Try using ramping effects during song transitions live and watch your bandmates faces. 😮

[@joellebrodeur1015]

These work better than the fickle Mash function. I had the TC delay and it worked when it wanted. This was with mash enabled.

[@rcolpitts5528]

These pedals are more impressive than these acoustic guitars! 😂

[@Kauzcore]

uuuuh THE HAND uuuuhhh 🤩🤣I'm seeing it for the first time🤣🤣 It's so funny to see the hand moving 😆😁🙂😐🤣🤣🤣

[@EXSENTRIX]

Was anyone else a little disappointed with the Cetus? Seems to be weaker and not as loud as I expected or anyone should expect. I feel like the pedal needs a volume knob. Plus the wave doesn't work great. I have no waves man! LOL. I noticed someone left a review on Amazon making similar claims. Did I get a defective pedal or what? Maybe I got that guys return! Ha! So disappointed.

[@MrStorm029029]

I tried 3 channels trying to get some good demos on these pedals. I should've come to 60 cy first. I'm feeling like Josh from JHS, i don't have these pedals, how am I going to survive?

[@Simplertous]

I feel like boutique pedal brands may be shaking in their boots with this competition lol

[@benspraker4137]

Hey Ryan, did you notice if the units remember the last ramp setting after powering down?

[@60CycleHumcast]

They do

[@male3083]

What the pedals need is the ability to store the settings for each lower left knob mode. Every time you switch modes you have to remember what the settings you like are.

[@bassnsax]

The Hand was a magnificent invention, and don't let your wife or your children try to tell you otherwise. PEDALS ARE FOR FEET! PEDALS ARE FOR FEET! PEDALS ARE FOR FEET! 😂

[@60CycleHumcast]

Thanks! I worked hard on it

[@JustMe-z8g]

Yeah tell see they are going for the Walrus Audio artwork and vibe. This is where brand loyalty gets challenged by financial loyalty. I love Walrus but....at times it's hard to justify so much for a pedal but their products are amazing. But this is perfect for that other demographic ;) Great Reviews Ryan!

[@schmotown]

Great show, Ryan. I ordered the delay as soon as your demo was done.

[@keithb5612]

I still don't know how to fit these infernal pedals onto my bicycle! I will be trying superglue next!

[@MrAxeldernevik]

No, you need to wear your pedalboard around you like a giant necklace when biking. If the wind is right, works like a sail to.

[@-cobainism-]

well, duct tape works…

[@Sd12sx23]

Keep trying. Once you them on right the flanger makes your bike sound like a race car and the delay makes it sound like a space ship.

[@yargnad]

You're doing it wrong. You should gaff tape them to your shoes first. Much easier.

[@TheDistruptor]

Not funny

[@jonathanhazlett8880]

That ring mod tho. Never thought I would actually enjoy hearing ring mod effects.

[@niclastname]

Holy crap thank you for showing these! These are fantastic, especially for that price! 🤯

[@MegaGuitaruser]

I was just about to buy a hall of fame for the new stereo board I am building, and I saw this video. I immediately ordered the cetus, and currently waiting for it to arrive.

[@federicokempf7325]

How did the Cetus finally turn out?

[@MegaGuitaruser]

@@federicokempf7325 for the price it is really great I think, I mainly use the cloudy setting on it. I definitely recommend to give it a try. It is good quality and there arent any kind of issues with it. I am planning to buy a keeley hydra instead of it, because that has tremolo as well, but I am planning on keeping this as well.

[@empros88]

The revErb better than hall of fame reverb

[@robertgunter7230]

Ryan please do a proper test first with the pedals and then you can do a stupid over the top test that you enjoy that is totally unusable for performance ,worship etc. ,but gives you so much joy ,then people can decide and appreciate which of your test or tests they want to listen to ,,,,

[@BrockDavisson]

I did a ambient video with the orbiter pitch one, it's nice! I love the graphics and the sounds are great for the money. I want the other 3 now.

[@tobymearing8407]

well i didn't think you could top Mrs Hum (who was a delight)...but...THE HAND - OMG! another hilarious side-kick, and you were like a kid in a sweetshop with these pedals - it was good to see Sir. great pedals too. i think the tech now means sub-£100 chinese stompboxes will take over from boutique.

[@zloboslav_]

I'm really considering this reverb pedal. It sounds nice and interesting and that's the first time I hear this wave setting ever.

[@joellebrodeur1015]

You won't regret getting it. It's fun, it's trippy and it can be pretty or even doomy with other effects.

[@gloryxkid]

How much for the hand?

[@60CycleHumcast]

it's priceless.

As a noise artist these are really reminding me of my Kaoss pad. Especially that ring mod. Omg this is gonna kick ass for sound design.

Love the filter joke. That was a great jam. I have bought two of these now thanks to you and also an oceans11. Your videos are so helpful to me!!!

[@rexcellencemagee6729]

Mooer is the pedal to beat in my opinion, they’re stereo series is what I’m using for everything including the preamp X, the reverb and delay are the best I’ve ever heard and the octave pedal allows you to change the tone of the octave’s, fifth, 7th, 9 th etc…

[@Jianemba]

I was just going to get for the amp in a box /cab and headphone pedal. Or for my DAW recordings

[@rexcellencemagee6729]

Do it! I am s impressed with Mooer, they are going to be the one to buy stock in!

[@toddcarroll2703]

I bought and tried the Chinese reverb. It sucked my tone. The tone through this pedal decreased my overall volume by like 50%. The effects were poor also. Better to spend 100 more on an Eventide Black hole than to sink in this sea.

[@60CycleHumcast]

sounds like you got a dud, can you return it?

[@Masetheguitarman]

They weren't $99 by the time I got to them. Oh well... Anyway, you had a great time with these and made some great fun with them, they're a good set.

[@FuzzWoof]

One thing nobody ever mentions in Alabs pedal reviews is the glaring nuclear explosion level brightness LED these pedals have which flashes along with the tempo if you're in tap mode. It's fine in a will lit room, but on a dark stage with two of their pedals on my board it made me feel like I was about to have a seizure or go blind and I had to quickly cover them with tape, haha.

[@60CycleHumcast]

They are trying to look boutique, and bright leds are part of that scene.

[@FuzzWoof]
