Because of you, I inadvertently play that A chord with the open B and E strings every time I try a new guitar or pedal. Also, because of you, that's a lot.

[@garretpietila5812]

Glad I'm not the only one.

[@vincentjives]

Yep, same here. Hate myself for it

[@ReubenJBrown]

yep. me too.

[@shmooless3699]

I play g without the pinky and I get suicidal over it

[@yeahrightbear8883]

I bet you make it easy for these the pedal companies to sell pedals that we don't really need. You make them sound amazing. I love your style. You should be doing soundtracks.

Knobs: creating soundtracks for weird indie games since the genesis.

[@waltersmetak]

Excellent design! This is something a good many pedal makers forget to use -- a send/return for directly processing given effects - really grand! Kudos to Death by Audio for adding a loop!

[@VenomRaven]

We've been waiting for you. Many thanks for your return.

[@royalsounds4625]

First I just wanted to say I really enjoyed this video as usual! Second very cool pedal and in general the concept of a feedback looper is fascinating to me, the possibilities are beyond numerous! Third as I have been cruising through your videos the last few months I see that some people feel the need to leave negative comments about your style of presentation and I just want to say that what you and a couple other folks on here put forth are exactly the type of content I personally need to see what these pedals can do and the types of contours and textures these machines are capable of. So thank you kindly!

[@chaoticembrace6984]

Amazing !!!!!......guess I just figured out my next pedal to purchase .... outstanding demo !!!!....... thanks guys!

[@delivrance3961]

Eargasm! Thx to oli and knobs!

[@brndnwilliams42069]

this is sick. I have an echo degrader with a feedback looper built in and it's wild. thanks for showing the warped v hack!

[@notjefflee]

Just want to chime in that I like the educational aspect of this vid. It helps alot that you show the guitar part on its own, then with an effect, and then with the featured pedal to understand whats going on with the sound

[@elimpulsodeshatov5997]

I asked for this. Thanks!

[@ConorCraig]

What ever the last set up you were using was WONDERFUL

[@ts4gv]

i mean.... this pedal seems like a must-get. it effectively doubles the amount of pedals you own. each pedal is a brand new pedal with the help of this thing.

[@Tenaciousdomi]

4:29 broken down Rainbow Machine?

[@stagnatic]

That was excellent.

[@user-cp3ju2fz4z]

So Dark World + Total Sonic Annihilation 2 = Big Love

[@WillemZenhorst]

I think, for once, this is a Knobs pedal I don't have to get: the Klein Bottle basically has Feedback loops across all 3 channels, so you can do this (and more) easily... Still a cool vid!

[@krowland7584]

Tight af

[@Sidus666]

How does the volume knob on the guitar reacts to this? Can you use it to dial back the amount of feedback? For example, set the feedback knob higher than you would like it, then dial back on the volume and swell it up for moments when one wants the annihilation to burst forth? Or does it not work this way?

[@1552.fred0]

I could die happy if you showed a demo of your Dead on ‘67

[@SlyHikari03]

The faux spectre and Rainbow machine style tones were pretty cool.

[@pnoplyr14]

what is that pedal at 9:20, bottom left hand corner? earthquaker devices avalanche maybe?

[@smothr]

anyone know where a pedal like this might fit into a standard fx chain 😅 at the end of the signal? or before?

[@CoenBijpost]

Damn. Your demos always sound like soundtracks to dystopian society. It makes me feel like I have a brain implant that’s malfunctioning, in a good way. Lol.

[@louderthangod]

I want to put this in the loop of the SuperEgo and maybe a POG or Ct5 or H9 in the loop of this....

[@iamsushi1056]

could you do a demo feeding a synth or vocals into the pedal chain?

[@narco73]

There's a version 2? At least I can stop lusting after the original now...

[@AndrewBarthle]

I think that actually means you need both now 😁

[@mindbodylightsound10]

Press the Rubberneck effect

[@toximan2008]

did tim hecker sub for you at the end?

4:40 RAINBOWMACHINE IN THE HOUSE

[@jamisonlee9611]

Would this effect be extremely difficult to control if one used a feedback looper without the mix (or, in this case, "feedback") control?

[@WillemZenhorst]

Yes. It's gonna squeel very VERY easily with certain effects, and often the sweet spot is very narrow. You need that knob.

[@ToHellOrUtopia]

I love making ambient and shoegaze music, this pedal seems like it would be perfect for that. Now if only I wasn't so broke.

[@saam6768]

total comment annihilation

[@NYESmusic]

Im really curious what this would sound like with an Octaver

[@WillemZenhorst]

You know the EQD Organizer? Turn up the 'Choir' knob on that, and it basically does the same trick; recirculate the processed sound, so you get more octaves and a fuller sound. It's quite cool (though not something you'd need this guy for per se).

[@nicolaslopez-abenteperry5672]

What’s the riff at 6:00? It reminds me of some emo/screamo band. Engine down? Jr ewing?

[@ThoseSleepless]

what's the pedal at 5:24?

It took a bit of searching, but I found it: Hungry Robot Wardenclyffe Harmonizer.

Toshivc It's a pedal called "total sonic annihilation", made by a company called "Death by Audio". Did you really expect it to be anything BUT noisy??
