Dan Explains It All: Screen Violence

In collaboration with @CHVRCHES OBNE is proud to present Screen Violence - Stereo Saturated Modulated Reverb-an effects pedal inspired by the sounds of the acclaimed album of the same name. In this production of Dan Explains It All, Dan describes in granular detail how the device works, with the help of Martin, Lauren, and Iain of CHVRCHES. Brady accompanies with a Black Bobbin JM, Roland Juno 60, and Yamaha DX-7, and at one point we plug in a Meris Polymoon to further illustrate the stereo nature of Screen Violence.

Just one time, I need you guys to put Dan in a suit and call the video “Daniel Explains It All”.

[@danpechacek3855]

“Salutations! We welcome you to Daniel Explains It All. Today’s topic of discussion is Screen Violence.”

[@hvybones]

@@danpechacek3855 YEEEEESSS

[@leftheavy.]

Can we all just agree that Dan did a great job of explaining it all here?

[@StephenMcLeod]

Easily the best pedal explainer videos on the web.

[@ahoffenberg97]

I would love to watch Dan explain almost any pedal

[@natebambino]

this might be an odd compliment but this might be the most on brand & creative use of at-home/zoom interview footage I've seen

[@oldbloodnoise]

Thank you, that was a fun challenge.

[@T_I_D_A_L_S_]

You guys are too fucking cool. The presentation is so well thought out and streamlined in every “explains it all” vid and it parallels the product performance. Truly artists in every aspect. Screen Violence increases in beauty as it’s sound increases in entropy.

[@oldbloodnoise]

wow, thanks you. cheers!

[@PedalPlayhouse]

Thank you so much, This pedal is incredible guys! all of you did an amazing job!! in headphones how the Stereo spread was demonstrated and explained was really beautiful. I can't wait to welcome it to its new home :D I def got one! Love the production of these vids too, great stuff Seth!

[@oldbloodnoise]

Clearly we don't check the youtube comments enough. Thank you Joan!

[@zackoval]

You all so clearly are enjoying what you're doing and sharing with the world, keep up the beautiful things

[@oldbloodnoise]

Thanks Zachary, will do!

[@dainjohnson2596]

you had me at "Mid Forward Overdrive"

[@Znijik]

I want to live in a universe where Dan explains it all.

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

This might have to be the most awesome film on a pedal I have ever seen. JHS sent me here and I'm staying.

[@oldbloodnoise]

Thanks! Come on in, the pixels are warm.

[@TUNNELOFREVERB]

Fantastic work as always

[@Victor-lo6dg]

The demo is so good!! Such a versatile pedal

[@No.0.o.0]

When I briefly worked at Uitar Center, they were trying to get us to sell a distortion+delay and I asked if you could change the order of the effects and the old heads scoffed. Now they're dead.

[@oldbloodnoise]

damn

[@danjack-son4871]

Beautiful.

[@expendedelectricity]

This pedal is inspirational. Not only for playing, but for designing pedals as well. Good work, team. 💚❤️

[@oldbloodnoise]

Thanks v much for saying so

[@millenial_falcon]

I didn't even wait for the full demo, I just refreshed the website till iit appeared and ordered the whole package.

[@greyhousemusic]

Ordered. 🖤

[@kilsontejada]

This video is so well done. Geeeeez

[@oldbloodnoise]

🙏🏼

[@robertcrist3822]

Great demo!

[@oldbloodnoise]

Thanky thanky

[@sp3ct3rsd3mos]

just damn cool.

[@eveofmay755]

Can’t help but feel like this pedal was made for me

[@nickp440]

mono to stereo part i was expecting pure imagination on the high end. it didnt happen and now it’s literally bothering my brain. great job guys!

[@AlfysPizza]

Is that Next Exit by Interpol that Brady is playing?? 🤔 amazing walkthrough vid, almost certainly going to have to pick this one up

[@ArielCoronaVillano]

I´ve never wanted anything this much in life, can i pre-order now? pls.

[@noahzeidman508]

This is gonna live on my desk after my Moog Grandmother and I can’t wait to get it wired up

[@oldbloodnoise]

that will be a fun desk party

[@greyhousemusic]

🖤

[@xue5204]

Never enjoy a pedal demo so much

[@oldbloodnoise]

That's the goal, thanks Xue

[@middle_pickup]

Oh I'm havin that.

[@iconnelly]

I feel like this pedal would be perfect for Mogwai, too (Brady's guitar playing sounds like Mogwai !)

[@oldbloodnoise]

we

[@123LPSOLDIER]

LFGOOOOOO

[@oldbloodnoise]

LFO but make it GO

[@CastToVoid]

Love what I've heard here! However I can't seem to get them anywhere in Europe. Shipping and import tax don't really make it an option for a direct OBNE order. Is this something that will be addressed or is it a OBNE exclusive?

[@oldbloodnoise]

Currently only available at Chvrches shows and oldbloodnoise.com

[@dingbatjack1234]

Would be awesome if this had MIDI!

[@MarkMagickHappens]

It's like another dimension in making pedals. Or I don't know...

[@tomcat8118]

You should do a live feed from Cuba and call it, 'Dan Has Some 'splaining To Do'... jus' sayin'...😸

[@nateonearth]

Is the distortion analog or digital? Thanks 🙏🏽

[@nateonearth]

Anyone?

[@nateonearth]

Anyone?
