A Genuine Spring Reverb Built By Mad Scientists?! - Gamechanger Audio Light Pedal

[@andyrantshumanphilosopher7571]

Let me explain. In a spring reverb, the spring vibrates, and the diffetence between the string vibrating and the spring vibrating is the reverb you hear. With the optical sensors, an infrared light is shone across the spring at various places. When the spring vibrates, the light is interrupted and this is picked up as a "vibration". Having this near the ends of the spring will be a shorter and 'tighter' reverb, and in the middle will be a longer and more 'spacey' reverb. Hence in the sweep mode, it appears to change speed as the different light sensors are activated.

[@zainsaeed8763]

Few things are purer than the Captain's joy at some great Danish playing

[@HighVybeTribe]

Truer words never spoken

[@kd350]

What an intro...more capo please, forget the friggin' cowbell.

[@ramonorozco5927]

That was hallelujah

[@Cliffdrane]

And frustration when the Dane doesn’t STFU

[@GamechangerAudio]

That's fantastic!

[@mariodriessen9740]

I love it when a pedal company dares to do something different and expand the boundaries of imagination. ❤️

[@TheElrondo]

As a Reverb and Delay addict i'm totally in shock how good this is. Great demo and playing!

[@andertons]

It's truly a different take on the standard reverb pedal! Thanks for tuning in Elrondo

[@GamechangerAudio]

Thanks for the comment! :)

[@chrisjs6123]

Got mine last week. It’s bloody marvellous. Love it. It’s staggeringly beautiful.

[@qwertymonsta]

I could listen that purple tele with reverb all day.

[@catherineboland6751]

There’s no way I’d do that pedal enough justice to buy it, but my God does it sound incredible. Lovely playing as per Pete!

[@kirkwilliams2127]

Sure you will eventually. I'm the same but I'm ordering the Headrest core and this pedal soon:-) I'll "grow" into it:-)

[@musicrepairs]

As a repairer I get to see most things, and for the first time in a long time I have the sensation “I want one”

[@mikey380sx]

That springs so real every time you step on it you knee yourself in the face

[@hoytdmartin]

The overtones on that spring are incredible

[@motorrebell]

A boost pedal with built in Flamethrower would be awesome too .

[@brandonmason388]

Gamechanger: “Hold my beer!”

[@srfhdx5584]

These game changer Audio pedals are incredible. Once i get a job and have paid for my driving lessons I’m gonna have to get their reverb and fuzz pedal. Along with a tone bender 1.5 of course

[@scottsanders1960]

Stellar intro! Great sounding pedal. I kept expecting Lee to join in and start singing along.

[@sellandinho]

As somebody who generally don't like to play with Reverb, all I want to say is. This sounds EPIC & I probably want one.

[@mark.guitar]

At 5mins there is clean humour from Pete! Will wonders never cease!

[@roybent4514]

Great demo. I’ve only just found out about this pedal and the more experimental sounds are exactly what I’ve been looking for. Out of stock at the moment but I’ve pre-ordered👍😊. In every demo I’ve seen the player is smiling.

[@60CycleHumcast]

Checking in to see what sounds you guys got with this.....

[@60CycleHumcast]

Considering you discovered the ctrl position in video, I'm guessing you didn't find the speed ramping options or the ability to stack two modulations...

[@paulcamus8944]

Brilliant, stunning, spectacular. And the pedal is cool too!

[@SirVicc]

One of the coolest pedals to come along in awhile.

[@davidjoel111]

Pedal is cool, but Peet’s playing! Hallelujah!!!!!!

[@jefferson4245]

Jeff Buckley FTW! I remember the first time I heard his cover of Hallelujah in college. I made my friend play it, well, many times in a row. I can't remember. It was college..

[@Margarinethebutterlover]

Bloody hell Pete! You are a gem. Your playing is next level.

[@deckert618]

U2's The Edge will run 8 of these in series

[@drewgazmik3275]

Plus a couple delay pedals

[@RyanSmith-op8wh]

Shopping for a new reverb. This is on the short list. Great playing, Pete!

[@facetono]

When the Captain crosses his legs AND arms and just sits back and let Danish Pete play it's a good pedal and outstanding player.

[@zakstirling]

I recently bought one and it has ruined the sound of my Strymon Timeline for me. Real sounds just sound real. More depth, more space, and more feedback.

[@YesItsReallyKeith]

so how does it sound when you stomp on it ? a loud boooooinggggg ?

[@dimitriovrutskiy]

@@YesItsReallyKeith Yes, but you can control the stomp-feedback. on the backside there is a 3 way switch for hard, 1/2 control, and an off-position, were you get the natural stomp effect of an spring reverb. But, as captain said - you really need to read the manual. I'd read it before I got mine, but haven't been enough. The Pedal has so many controls... It's really marvelous.

[@chrisjs6123]

I sold my Walrus Audio Mako reverb after hearing this. The R1 isn’t great on its best days but the Light is amazing. Probably the best pedal I’ve ever bought from a smiles and sheer amazement point of view.

[@zakstirling]

@@jayandgem the reverse, duck, swell, and ping pong stuff from the Timeline is still cool; but the sound from a real spring is just so nuanced that any digital sound just can’t compare. It’s like they’ve been over engineered to sound too pristine.

[@zakstirling]

@@YesItsReallyKeith I don’t know. I never turn it off once I’m playing. It’s that good.

[@ivorharden]

This pedal is so good, it would put a spring in your step.

[@sburton223]

Lol you watch Uncle Doug's channel.....and if you don't you should lol

[@lewisbeeman]

I love Danish Petes sense of humor. He should never change that about himself.

[@davedixon2167]

You're both right about the wooshing red scanner light - Glen Larson (producer) took the Cylon scanner 'eye' from Battlestar Galactica and incorporated it into KITT on Knight Rider.

[@mandioca3210]

Pete is the best! Masterful clean tone as always!

[@TqShock]

I see Pete's intro was inspired by Paul David's video about Hallelujah haha

[@mattflickinger8151]

Ha, was just thinking that..

[@facetono]

James Buckley version.

[@konkey-dong]

@@facetono You mean Jeff Buckley?

[@christopher7310]

Good morning Gents! Killer intro!

[@peoplewithpixels]

One of the most heartfelt, musical and sensible intro 🙌

[@marcustiefenberg4980]

Omg i love this pedal. 🥺 Immagine to use an ebow with the feedback option... You could get some awesome soundscapes with this. Love it... I hope you can get this in Denmark at a reasonable price. Keep up those videos lads. Kæmpe fedt Pete 💪😁

[@juanticimo]

Ive been waiting for this bad boy to release, got my preorder in already. STOKED!

[@didifischervideo]

Thanks, this is the only video where I can hear what it does with music. All the other videos are drowning in the FX. Reverb is like salt for me, I dont put a tone in the soup. It just makes the tone more lively. Thanks : )

[@dustinnance3163]

8:50 is a perfect “Rising Sun” sound!

[@dustinnance3163]

“House of rising Sun” rather!

[@_Information_]

I actually really liked the dissonant oscillating reverb sound.

[@Saurondor]

These folks come up with some great gear. Hope some day the can come up with a tremolo driven by gravitational waves something weird like that.

[@MrDMBooth]

I'm loving the videos guys, but where are the blindfold challenges. Haven't had one in ages. Bring them on 🤘

[@mattheweastel129]

This sounds incredible, both as a spring tank and as an experimental device. It’s not cheap, but I expected it to cost more if I’m honest

[@h2ophilter]

Ive never pre-ordered something so fast. this thing is next level.

[@rudiger1337]

You guys have the opportunity to make a badass pedaltable. Ins&outs, power. It could be awesome. I mean the tabletop on a black draped box, sideways head with power supply is great and all...

[@PorchBass]

Great point, they should be pushing forward the cause of pedal furniture!

[@michaeljohnson8058]

Hats off to Gamechanger. Pete’s practically got wood & I don’t blame him. It’s versitile & sounds beautiful

[@jeffleecust]

That was beautiful but I would love to hear Bea On that with a baritone

[@JDKingStratslinger]

These guys are a good team.

[@funkfatale]

Just when I finished my pedalboard re-build. Time to find room for this. Whyyyyyyyohwhyyyyyyyyy?!?!?

[@TungstenCarlbide]

Golly!!! Im gonna have to grab one of these! The chops come with the pedal, right!?

[@Xenious]

I don't chase spring reverb but this was really really good just for that aspect alone.

[@thechronicnoizeco.6675]

I’d be staring at the thing constantly

[@teknomanning]

You guys will try anything. Much love from Las Vegas😊

[@kevinstrawser5073]

Got 1 coming tomorrow, can't wait

[@georgetarbaya2001]

U have 2 spend like days and days with this pedal to understand the whole spectrum of the potential of this black box with the light inside. Have one of this. I like experiments and it fits just great! Don't forget it uses 500 mA so not every pedal board power supply has such option. Be very very accurate with Drive knob. It is very sensetive and makes what it is named for. Mixing 2 different reverb presets opens another level of possibilities. Fellows musicians are mad of how agile it is. Cinematic flawor and spring taste makes it a great instrument for creating different drone-ambient samples. I use it as a spring reverb in the end of the circuit [guitar->wah-compressor-overdrive/fuzz-phaser-delay-Reverb->amp] on gigs. But it totally openes in the studio work.

[@matzer8846]

... that was sheer fun! Thanks a lot!

[@mitchelm9828]

This pedal is seriously cool. Easy to see why its so expensive.

[@EddieVanAidan]

Awesome rendition of Master Of Puppets at the start Pete! Can't believe Metallica sounds so different with a bit of spring! OBVIOUSLY JOKING

[@MicahTischler]

Now you have me wondering how Metallica's seemingly-baroque-influenced segments would sound with Pete playing them through this ...

[@Dasrocknrolla]

Hallelujah!

[@joeg1709]

Ahhh...the secret chord..that makes me happy Pete. Thanks for that choice

[@kcmccloskey]

Db meter went to 69 while they were talking about the bedroom mood lighting.

[@petersage5157]

This channel is notorious for faux-mo teases; I'm surprised the video editor didn't highlight the 69 reading!

[@dostacos1]

Nice

[@john_pryce9855]

Attention ! Captain on deck !! The Great Dane on the guns!

[@GrumpyOldGit60]

Well, that was great... but I can't imagine when I'd ever use one. I still want one, of course, but...

[@bobdekett]

...an insanely cool sounding reverb pedal - is it rugged enough for pedalboard use - as in gigging, not just home/studio use?

[@daniellefenda1841]

When I heard the driven spring, I wanted one, then I checked the price...and I still wanted one.

[@filipdinevmusic]

What a motion in the sound! Beutiful!

[@mrredritehand]

More reverb please! What a wonderful pedal!

[@christopherburnett1745]

I can't say that I've ever felt excited about checking out a reverb pedal before, but this is amazing! I'd think that Bill Vencil at Chords of Orion would go crazy over this!

[@vivarintensamente]

Amazing video as usual!

[@alfieflexman7465]

Did you add the expression pedal before or after the reverb? because that sounds absolutely mind bogglingly good?

[@miguelmikemigs]

Awesome song choice to start the show!

[@garyjohnson4988]

This pedal is wonderful! And I’m mainly a drummer!

[@Saurbjalla]

99% of the time that i watch pedal videos they are about something that i either dont need or want. This one sits squarely in the other 1% Sweet Jesus that thing sounds really great!

[@thejoshbtv]

Nobody makes cooler pedals than these guys. The Automatone things come in second.

[@GamechangerAudio]

Thanks a lot for the kind words :)

[@ryevick]

Wow that is a great sounding pedal! 😳 ... Unfortunately I don't have the funds... going to have to stick with my BOSS RV-6 Reverb.

[@johnnyb3987]

This is a very cool pedal for sure. It sounds great.

[@Quentin687]

I rewatch this regularly just for Pete’s intro

[@thomasgirardin7641]

Would be nice to get a comparison with the anasound spring reverb

[@RisikoAO]

Gamechanger, Alexander Pedals and Earthquaker Devices are some of the few companies that are trying to innovate the pedal industry. A breath of fresh air after decades of thousands of boring tubescreamers clones and bland delays. We need NEW stuff, not reiterations of the old stuff.

[@bryantwalley]

yes indeed. I drives me nuts to know that we have all this technology and people are constantly trying to make it sound like some old stuff I sold back in the 80's because I didn't like it back then. new ideas and new sounds. thats the ticket.

[@RupeeRhod]

ChaseBliss, Wampler, Walrus Audio, Keeley, Malekko, TC Electronic, Beetronics, Death by Audio, Dr. Scientist, Rainger Fx, Red Panda, ZVEX. To be honest I think most pedal companies tries to do that, I think it's rather "few companies" that don't - but the market share of cookie cutter stuff is higher.

[@RisikoAO]

@@RupeeRhod Wampler, Keely and TC Electronics do not push the bar further, they just do very high quality versions of old concepts. The real innovators out there, or people that just try to do even "weird" stuff, are very few compared to the total number of companies, even fewer taking in account market shares (everyone have, or had, at least one Boss pedal, Meris doesn't even come close to that). Your numbers are off by a lot.

[@GS_Lexus]

Excellent Abyss reference!

[@TheGrandmaMoses]

'Hey, there is this new reverb pedal that works on an oldschool principle and looks tasty - what goes through your head when you hear about this product?' 'Can I scare my kids with it?' :)))

[@eviekraner1452]

I feel like the feedback and the shimmer would be great for volume swells for more ambient

[@ericbouza854]

Sounds great. But I'm really digging that groovy purple Tele. 😊👍

[@joffle86]

New round here are you?

[@prsfan01]

This looks soooooo cool

[@CedricSatterfield]

Feedback is almost like an organ effect in the backgrond.

[@DeliriumDayz]

probably the greatest pedal since the 60s
