Afterneath First Impression: Nels Cline (Wilco/Nels Cline 4) | EarthQuaker Devices

[@fredgrieff2122]

Nels Cline content is best content.

[@741246]

I still want an "I deem this loopworthy" t-shirt

[@HunterAnton]

Yeah, come on EQD. Give the masses what we want. I have cash money waiting for this exact t-shirt.

[@KCruB3ast1]

Even better would be if they made an always recording looper like the old sixteen second delay Nels uses so we can all deem things loop worthy

[@pineboomerang]

still waiting here too

[@jpm9628]

@@KCruB3ast1 That is a capital idea.

[@AndreaTurini_theAND]

Can we have Nils demoing ALL of your pedals on a weekly format?

[@SwirlyWhirlyXYZ]

A Nils Lofgren + Nels Cline duo album? “Nils + Nels”? You said it, I didn’t

[@AndreaTurini_theAND]

@@SwirlyWhirlyXYZ no non l'ho detto, ma a quanto pare non si può fare un'errore di ortografia (in una lingua diversa dalla propria) senza essere subito additato.. Che palle che siete..

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

Credo che fosse solo un sarcasmo giocoso, che è un linguaggio tutto suo da queste parti!

[@AndreaTurini_theAND]

@@EarthQuakerDevices certo certo, volevo solo fare un po' lo "spocchioso". Bello sapere che parlate anche italiano :D

[@JamEWalsh]

Seriously. The dude's perfect.

[@DK-qe6uo]

This was great! You all should do a show us your junk with Marc Ribot

[@jpm9628]

Pedals or not, Cline is a fascinating player. Also very generous with discussing his extended techniques. A true gentleman artist of our time who also knows how to have fun!

[@glennmcmullen5192]

love him mentioning the cocteau twins.

[@christopherecatalano]

He had me watching the whole thing in that instant. At the same time, it was worth it to stay and watch a very unusual and beautiful approach to the instrument on display. Very...architectural? Inspiring...

[@jackgreenwood1817]

Over lockdown Nels has inspired me to play more than anyone, his freedom to make sound but keep it musical is awe-inspiring. Plus he comes across as an all round good guy. I've been trying to talk myself out of getting the Afterneath, this video does not help my cause! Thanks EQD and Nels, stay safe

[@confusedscreaming9727]

More and more I realise that all I want out of life, is to watch Nels play guitar.

[@alessandromannucci8663]

Love Nels, EarthQuakerDevices, the slimy green fireplace behind the man and that meat color jazzmaster... That color is really cool.

[@jedschleisner8960]

Wow Nels! Pretty cool stuff! I had the pleasure of seeing you do some performance art at Lawrence U. One of the best sonic experiences. I never seen so many pedals.

[@darrenkangmusic]

"I can deem it loopworthy." Classic Nels

[@christopherecatalano]

You say Robin Guthrie. I stick around. Cool playing and musical content here. You have a very innovative approach to the instrument...

[@JohnsDough1918]

Nels is great, he's from a somewhat underrated and very imaginative wave of jazz guitarists who often went beyond jazz (like Marc Ribot for example).

[@thepuppethead1188]

Nels doesn't seem to know it but if he put his 16 second delay before this he'd have the ultimate Fripp style ambient guitar board ever conceived by human brains

[@kessler7382]

those sounds with just one pedal... ...amazing!

[@patrickcarroll1754]

Stay healthy, Nels. The world needs your light.

[@davidmckelvey2601]

I love how beautiful Nels' jazzmasters look.

[@markferguson3745]

The Afterneath is a unique pedal,- you have to be willing to give up some semblance of control in favor of the spontaneous and random.I had the V2, and really felt an expression pedal would have added a lot of practical value, especially on a circuit that would benefit from shaping once initiated.It provides some " on the fly" response/ capability that I felt limited without. It can be used non Ambient, and prob is a perfect gateway pedal into the head space.EQD has slowly taken over my "wet" board, and the Plumes and original Dream Crusher are on the "dry".

[@ALEXANDERMISHKOV]

This pedal can accidently teleport you to alternative reality

[@andrewfarrell6120]

You guys should give one of these to Pat Metheny to see what he could do.

[@FoFrx]

Give a broom handle and a piece of dental floss to Pat Metheny.....

[@TheZooropaBaby]

or maybe we should see Pat and Nels work together...that's a thought

[@toddjoseph1tj]

Their pedals are amazing. They make me Ohio proud!!

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

EarthQuaker Devices: The Heart of it All!

[@TheMadLicksBand]

DAMN those pitches were high!

[@stick1647]

I don’t know how you did it but you made a reverb that’s reverberated itself

[@JayFrederick]

cocteau twins! heck yeah Nels knows what's up.

[@olivedotcomm]

He referenced mbv in the bored to death vid with him

[@crystalettuce]

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

life's weird.

[@mishastone]

The humanity!

[@Pandamasque]

1:48 that's literally Cocteau Twins.

[@stevemowatt3973]

Plus 1 for the Melvins & the Joykiller stickers.

[@chilimacaroni4211]

Nels is the man.

[@christophernoia5197]

If David Lynch played guitar...

[@mlgespegsky000x]

Lynch does play guitar

[@TheRealQuester]

The youngest man alive! Hope to get "old" like this!

[@DarrenDoo]

I feel like that Jazzmaster has the longest sustain of any Jazzmaster Ive ever heard.

[@enterprismhouse]

I think it's partially because he has a super long decay length set on the reverb pedal. It sounds really natural and great with that guitar tone so it does sound like sustain

[@jackgreenwood1817]

Try out thomastik-infeld flatwounds. I've put them on a Jag and really noticed a jump in sustain, quite remarkable

[@j58688grgrs]

I can watch Nels talk shop all day

[@ernestbuckley8671]

Not sure what it is but I’ve yet to hear an Earthquaker reverb or delay that sounds warm. I own the Plumes which I love but I’ll be looking elsewhere for delays & reverbs... Strymon still sounds the most organic and warm/round/evolving to my ears.

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

Thanks for watching and for snagging a Plumes.

[@bodyminusMe]

Would enjoy doing calculus homework with Nels playing soundscapes in the background

[@JV-rx3ov]

This must have been filmed at Jamie's house. No one else keeps the full line of EQD on their mantle. Also, I've been abusing my new Afterneath for over a week now & I'm still not done finding out what this box is capable of.

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

I can safely say that Jamie does NOT have the full EQD line on his mantle haha. Thanks for the support!

[@hollowearthsounds]

i love nels cline

[@SonicRave1]

Nels is my spirit animal!

[@FoFrx]

own 6 of these pedals in the bkgrnd..yea they are teh sihat

[@pCeLobster]

Does the Mode change anything other than what happens when you turn the Drag knob? Like is the sound of the reverb changed in any way?

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

No, just how the Drag behaves

[@benjejeje.]

viejo lindo

[@ModulatedDrummer]

This reminds me of that Nels, Nick, Mike and Greg collab... what was that called again? Gotta look that up :)

[@KCruB3ast1]
