Collision Devices Crushturnal - Sequenced Ambient Bliss!

[@kicsisziszi]

That sequenced fuzz tone is otherworldly. You mast compose a whole track based on it!!!

[@thepedalzone]

Yeah, that sound is a ton of fun. Like a rage-filled robot charging right at ya :) Happy you liked it!

[@regaudieguillaume]

I am a «bit» tired of the bitcrushed effect, but this one is really well done :) Super cool demo, as always Stefan. Thank you very much, you were the reward of my work rush this morning!

[@thepedalzone]

Happy to hear you're not completely "crushed" yet by the wealth of bitcrush pedals out there :) This one is definitely really well done and brings a lot of new goodness to the table.

[@GettinBetterWithDave]

Great video bro. I love your approach the ambient sounds. Very musical, even with the wacky stuff. Good work!

[@thepedalzone]

Thank you! Much appreciated :)

[@SublimeSynth]

very nice, there is a fine line between a cheesy bitcrusher and a good sound. this thing nails it and more. kinda like the Thermae with the sequencing, love it

[@thepedalzone]

Happy you like it! Totally agree, this thing nails the vibe!

[@worthmoremusic]

Love this pedal and Collision devices in general ! Sooo many wonderful pedals on the market by a variety of manufacturers...all you need is money, and plenty of it ! Great review thanks.....

[@thepedalzone]

Collision Devices just makes the coolest stuff. Happy you like it :)

[@durangosoul2969]

What a badass piece of gear. Just added to my list of hopefuls, all of which, i have learned about from your channel, thank you so much for what you do and keep it up!!!

[@thepedalzone]

Honored to hear that you find inspiration in my demos. Means a lot to me. Hope you get the chance to try the Crushturnal. It's a really fun piece of kit :)

[@chrisgarver7904]

Great for studio use. I own & love chroma console. So I appreciate the knobs as opposed to menu diving.

[@thepedalzone]

I totally agree! Really nice to have everything so well laid out. Really easy to use and manage, and you don't get distracted by a ton of menu diving, dip switching, secondary functionalities or controls being too close together. Some people might be turned off by the size of Crushturnal, but to me, that design choice is a big part of how easy and fun it is to use.

[@collisiondevices]

We love knobs so much

[@fruitiusmaximus925]

That's something I really like about this. I'm currently relying on a Zoom G5 for all of my sequencer effects, and that device is a mess of glitchy menus. This looks so much more simple.

[@SimonLundMusic]

Beautifully done, Stefan! Awesome playing as always. I need this in my life now

[@thepedalzone]

Mange tak, Simon! Og fedt at høre at du er begyndt at dykke ned i de mere mystiske effektpedaler :) Håber alt er vel, min ven!

[@RandomRotation]

OMG! Seems like I've been waiting for this thing for years, without knowing that I was waiting :)

[@thepedalzone]

Good things come to those who wait :)

[@gaboritdenis6519]

I really enjoyed my moment of zen

[@thepedalzone]

Makes me so happy ❤️❤️❤️

[@dreadpirates_]

I'm here for the playing, the pedal was cool too ! Sick riffs my dude.

[@thepedalzone]

Awwww! Thank you SO MUCH 🥰

[@MecchaKakkoi]

This was a really good demo!

[@thepedalzone]

Awww! Thank you :)

[@meadowenthusiast]

Liking the stacking, momentary kill dry and amount of control. Thanks for the overview, Stefan!

[@thepedalzone]

Happy you enjoyed the video. Means a lot! And yeah, Crushturnal carries some really clever features. The Kill Dry, Infinite Feedback and selective sequencing just turns it into a textural dream machine

[@bbeaup]

5:38-6:00 sounds right out of Twin Peaks. Very nice playing.

[@thepedalzone]

Honored to hear it reminded you of that legendary soundtrack ❤️

[@littleHoundSounds]

💯

[@bradclayton3175]

All this new content is spoiling us, Stefan! Incredible playing and analysis as always. This reminds me kind of the Mood but with some Dark Star splashed in. Cheers!

[@thepedalzone]

Awwww! Thanks, buddy! Your support never goes unnoticed ❤️

[@PedalBattle]

Beautiful playing and sounds

[@thepedalzone]

Thank you very very much!

[@PedalBattle]

@@thepedalzone very much my pleasure

[@fruitiusmaximus925]

The only reason I still keep my Zoom G5 is because it has a lot of these features. I love the sequencers, and it's handy for infrequently used delay modes and modulations. This looks like it would be an awesome update on that.

[@thepedalzone]

Happy you dig it! Hope you get the chance to try it in the future, so you can find out if it's a worthy successor to your G5 :)

[@mikkokelanen8000]

Holy shit. I came in blind as I had not heard anything about this pedal before this demo and holy shit. Maybe it’s your playing, and use of the device, which make it sound stunning or it actually is stunning. Either way, awesome demo once again sir! Damn.

[@thepedalzone]

Cool to hear that you got a nice surprise by taking the chance on this video :) This device is stunning. My playing in this demo would sound pretty lacklustre without it.

[@collisiondevices]

Thanks a lot Stefan ! You're a Legend

[@thepedalzone]

You're welcome, gang! Had a ton of fun exploring this one. You did really well 😍

[@delivrance3961]

great job!!!

[@thepedalzone]

❤️❤️❤️

[@artemdemidov2874]

Your guitar playing and riffs can bring out the potential of any pedal) In my opinion, in the 21st century such pedals should be in full stereo!

[@thepedalzone]

Honored to hear you enjoy the playing 🥰

[@andreaskarlsson9539]

Really like your sound! What do you use to record klipps like this? Thanks

[@mikebularz9019]

I always wish this co plex of a pedal would have a version that saves my presets. Even better, bluetooth to a preset app and name my configurations. Seen some bluetooth pedals as well out there. Thanks for the great video anyways

[@thepedalzone]

Happy you enjoyed the demo :) Sure, presets are always a nice feature to have. But trust me, the pedal isn't complex. It might look it due to the wealth of controls, but everything is so well laid out and thought out. You quickly learn how to dial this one in on the fly and use it as an instrument in its own right

[@phillipbland2861]

Stefan, can't believe you didn't try the CV input into the Afterneath 😂

[@thepedalzone]

Gosh, lost count of the times that I've used the Afterneath V3 together with CV/Expression. You can definitely find a lot of videos on my channels where I do that, not to mention my official Afterneath V3 demo :) So I thought it was time to explore CV with something else. Definitely don't regret my choice. That sequenced fuzz filter was bonkers :D

[@phillipbland2861]

@@thepedalzone I actually bought the Expression Ramper just because of what I saw you doing with it on the Afterneath-which was already my favorite reverb !

[@ArrakisOCE]

Great video. What chip does this pedal use?

[@thepedalzone]

Thank you very much! I don’t know. Haven’t opened up the pedal to have a look. I know that Collision have used the FV-1 before in their older pedals, but if you want to know the tech details of this one, then it’s probably best to ask the guys who made it. The Collision gang is seriously the sweetest and most gentle group of people out there. I know they would be happy to help you out with whatever question you might have 😊👍

[@ArrakisOCE]

@@thepedalzone Thanks for that. Yeah, I will ask them as I am very interested and love the sound. It definitely doesn’t sound like an FV-1.

[@collisiondevices]

@@ArrakisOCE It sound like 2 FV1 :D There are 2 inside. One for the Ambience part. Another for the Digital Repeater. And their clocks are generated by a STM32 MCU. It's a sort of a modular setup we really liked to create "polyrythms" patterns between the clock sequencer (mcu) and the delay time (FV1). Really nice to get accidental experiences. And the whole circuitry around is analog like in our other pedals! :)

[@ArrakisOCE]

@@collisiondevices Oh wow, I was going to reach out about this, thanks so much! I am always really intrigued by the engineering and circuit design behind these kinds of pedals. That is really interesting use of a dual chip design, and it sounds incredible. I know most do use the digital signal to compliment the analog signal path, but whatever you have done with this is one is particularly nice. Might be another order coming up!

[@collisiondevices]

@@ArrakisOCE Cool thanks ! Hit us up if you wanna know anything else! :)

[@performerovesen5940]

Hej Stephan tak for fede videoer ❤ Jeg har et spørgsmål Jeg har Micro cosme hvor tæt er disse to på hinanden ? Og hvad er forskellen? Og er collier pedalen tæt på dem også ? Hvad ville du vælge

[@thepedalzone]

Mange tak! Crushturnal og Microcosm har meget lidt til fælles. Vel nærmest intet. Hvis Crushturnal skal sammenlignes med noget, så er det nemmere at se det som en digital udgave af Chase Bliss Thermae, men med et meget mere brugervenligt interface og med mere forudsigelig kontrol.

[@louderthangod]

The lack of stereo is odd. I think so many ambient folks have gone stereo or wet/dry/wet and with digital amps that’s made that even easier and more affordable.

[@collisiondevices]

Yeah we definitely could not do stereo on this one or we should have released it in 2 years. But that's something we're working on! 😊 And we usually place the pedal at the beginning or the middle position in the effects chain so we found it useful enough to release as a mono pedal with its micro looper and sequenced textures features. Hopefully stereo soon on our coming devices!

[@linewizard]

My crushturnal delay sounds extremely crushed and lo-fi at 0% crush, 0% sample rate and 100% clock. Is there some other secret setting I’m missing? It sounds great in your demo before reducing the clock or sample rate

[@thepedalzone]

The delay should definitely be very pristine if you have Sample Rate at 0% and Clock completely clockwise. If things sound distorted then it's probably best to reach out to Collision Devices about it :)

[@collisiondevices]

Hey! Yes drop us a message with a video and we'll fix that ! :)

[@linewizard]

@@collisiondevices already contacted support, thanks!! I just need to find the time to make a quick video

[@treymax88]

Too many options that other pedals do so much better and way too big

[@thepedalzone]

To each their own 😊

[@OliverEvergreen]

agree. no midi as well. and it's not stereo (big bummer for delays and reverbs). reminded me Thermae at some point, but at least it's smaller and has great vibrato.

[@suzieq2000]

What other pedals are you referring to? The dark star being the most obvious one

[@tompoynton]

that’s one thing i’ve always wondered about their pedals… do they really need to be so big

[@collisiondevices]

Yeah we like big pedals 😊 It's cool to have the ability to get a conceptual design like in our other pedals and many knobs without having "hidden functions". It requires some space indeed but we love those layouts!
