[@patbassman8251]

Thanks I enjoyed your video it was interesting , I love Dub Scientist in particular I play bass myself but like to make my own Dubs , my old Wem copiecat was not working so good so I bought a Boss DD7 and a Roland RE 20 space echo they work well for my needs. However a friend persuaded to take the copie cat apart and have a look , im glad I did found a couple problems and change the cables now its working a treat so happy to have it back up and running again can't beat it.

[@sourceaudioeffects]

Love this video. Thanks for including the Nemesis Delay!

My Sireko is one of my greatest scores. Love that box. Great option for true analog tape delay and saturation. I’ve even run it without delay with the sustain pushed for a very uniquely pleasing saturation.

[@douglasnewman4163]

[@Frozen_Smoke1972]

Great video. Makes me want to start doing some dub stuff again. The Capistan is a great pedal - the only one I've used out of all the ones featured on this video, though I do have a Memory Boy. I really need to try the dub vibe on my Old Blood Noise Endeavours' Black Fountain - that's probably my favourite delay pedal at the moment.

[@23fm]

[@alexanderyaroslavich2703]

Brilliant. I'm mostly a bassist, but dabble in guitar and production and love old school dub. The treble-focused echo is something all the guitar pedal crowd seems to avoid.

[@ancientmartianunderground6413]

Magnificent

[@ko83na]

the digitech obscura is also a nice "dirty" delay

[@RichardQuirkmusic]

Great video. I've been a delay fiend for a long time but will have to seek out the DMB Lunar Echo. I highly recommend a Fulltone Tube Tape Echo (effectively a new version of the Echoplex tube EP2, which I love, have two) and the Bugbrand PT delay (from Bristol's own Tom Bugs). Talking of Source Audio, give their old dimension reverb pedals a try. cheap on ebay, they're mono and they're green.

[@RichardQuirkmusic]

just had a look at the DMB pedal demo's; you're right I'd never have picked up that the pedal breaks up the echoes.

[@SherkaNn44]

Greetings outta France ! Guidance

[@dubkasm]

Merci bien! Big up

[@saren6538]

Always thought pedals were VSTs in a box

[@pablodados]

Great rundown. I also love delays. The Benidub is on my wish list along with the Empress Tape Echo and the forthcoming Zen Delay from Ninja Tune/Erica Synths. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the Zen if you get to check it out.

[@dubkasm]

Thank a lot Paul! The Empress looks really good - definitely wish list stuff. I looked at the Xen delay and it looks really versatile. The filters sound really fat! Seems more of a digital filtered delay though - also has its place in some mixes of course. Big up for the support

[@SpecialSaws]

I’d really like to se you do this and hear your opinion on Erica synths Nina tune

[@liquidsteppa]

great man!

[@dubkasm]

Thanks Liquid Steppa

[@TheValueOfN]

I absolutely love the dub delay/echo effect and I've tried to replicate it in Reason although I'm plagued with feedback problems when I want the repeats to last for 32 bars or more. Can anyone point me towards a tutorial that would keep the frequencies in check in the software world? Archive have used the technique in a few of their incarnations and those are precisely what I want to emulate.

[@eliotness5140]

Salute! What do u think about the Eventide Time factor? 🖐️

[@danewz6004]

Love this video - for someone just starting what cheap options would you suggest?

[@girlinagale]

I used to think my main influence in my electonic music was Tangerine Dream but recently I realised it was dub reggae like Prince Jammy v The Scientist. I have 2 Eventide H9's.

[@GeoFavTech]

Was bumping that in high school instant classic

[@girlinagale]

@@GeoFavTech I now have two Vermona Retroverb Lancet's and an Oto Machines Bim delay. But still up for more dub fx, tempted by a Benidub echo, love it's filters.

[@GeoFavTech]

@@girlinagale I got a benidub lickshot awesome hardware will pop your equipment if you turn it up to high.

[@motherhand]

Does anybody know if i could use the El Cap on send and return through a DJ mixer liike the Xone 92 and get a synched delay? please thanks x

[@dubkasm]

I don't think you could sync it by MIDI but you can use tap tempo to match the tune you are monitoring?

[@Dub-O-Matic_Records]

great test ! respect :-)

[@dubkasm]

Thanks a lot - big ups!

[@cutseencinematics]

this is great, thanks for your insight! I went the delay mad earlier in the year..bought a Watkins Copicat, an Evans EP-100 and Ep-250 (the one with spring reverb), a Europsonic etc etc... it's like a drug once you get going :)

[@dubkasm]

That is an arsenal, fair play for the commitment and great choices

[@dubiosesymbiose]

Absolutely great video! It would be awesome to see the same video-concept but with reverb fx-units! :-) A little bit off-topic, but I hope it's ok: I would have two questions regarding the use of spring reverbs in live situations. I'm currently using a Vermona Retroverb Lancet in my setup. My problem is, that when the bass kicks in at live-concerts the spring starts vibrating which causes unpleasant feedbacks. Any tips and tricks for using analog springs in live-situations? Is the only "clean" solution the use of a spring reverb emulation? Thanks, and keep going with your great videos!

[@Ollieman_]

you just actually solved one big question i had!!! thanks, im going for the tru spring

[@dubkasm]

That's a hard one - props for using it live . Our good friend Egoless uses a Lancet live to amazing effect (in heavy dub bass environments). My immediate thought is you could isolate it with some foam like you do a record deck, or you could use a noise/hum eliminator pedal which acts like a noise gate for guitar. Good luck :)

[@daleadelic]

you wrap the spring rever up or at least place it on a pillow to stop it vibrating on whatever its sitting on

[@ezzong]

Awesome video. May i ask what do you guys use to connect the pedals to the daw or is it just using send signals from your mixer? I'm trying to use my delay pedals for mixing but can't get the audio to line level. I'm just using a scarlett interface though.

[@dubkasm]

Thanks for commenting Rezmar, in our setup it is just aux send effects. I think you may be limited to the number of ins and outs your Scarlett has but it is possible to use an external effect and record it into the mix of your DAW. There may be some latency but that may not be a problem. Hope this answers your question! Big up

[@ezzong]

@@dubkasm yeah my interface is quite limited so i don't think it would be possible to print the outboard effects. Thanks for the response! Bless you

@@dubkasm LOL

[@OneLoveWarriors]

Technical question. Do I need reamp and di box to connect h9 or Strymon as send fx with mixer and have good sound?

[@dubkasm]

It does improve the signal to noise ratio if you use a reamp box in and then a passive DI on the way out, into your desk XLR. The demo was using a reamp box on the way in but just straight line level outputs from the H9. Ideally you'd have two channels of DI but it can be done without them. Hope it helps

[@patkelly8309]

Great video. Reminds me how empty my wallet is though sadly.

[@myceliumtechno]

Zen Delay… best bandpass filter out there on a delay

[@burmanon11]

theres one sound you are missing. get an old EH echoflanger(polychorus and polyflange too, the 240v models from late 70s, early 80s) and put the chorus setting on max feedback. pure jammy and scientist. delay pedal or plug-in will get this sound

[@dubkasm]

nice, excellent tip thanks!

[@joshcooke8431]

Yooo Dubkasm, what's the small box you use in the exp jack for the el capistan?

Thank you for all tips and units show. I like it. I started with live dub on console. Because of your presentation I bought Nemesis and True Spring Reverb. Would you be so kind and recommend some phaser effects ? Thanks !

[@dubkasm]

Wow, really glad it inspired you Norbert. Any Boss Phaser is great because you can get those super resonant phase sounds - check 90's tunes from Disciples for examples. I also use the TC Electronics Helix Phaser which is great too, more complex and editable. Boss is killer though

[@Azteca_X]

Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Stereo Memory Man sounds amazing. That Tone Ruler is the scene-stealer, though - wow! Would you mind sharing who makes that?

[@dubkasm]

Thanks a lot Simón! Yeah, Momory Man is wicked. Although I say it's like an auto panner it's not just a simple sine wave type pan, it's more like the delay splits into two time segments and they get hard panned as opposed to a pendulum type pan. Tone ruler is designed by a talented Portuguese guy called Mo - www.drakemusic.org/technology/instruments-projects/tone-ruler/ Big ups!

[@Johnnybananass-_]

what's your thoughts on the strymon Volante vs the el capstan ? im considering adding another delay

[@dubkasm]

It looks wicked. tbh everything Strymon does seems killer. The volante would be a different sound to the El Cap but I've not tried it (yet haha)

[@Ollieman_]

what about the space echo pedal? RE-20

[@dubkasm]

Have tried it before. The original Space Echo is of course an absolute killer but I never found the pedal emulation's feedback quite right. Great all round pedal though. I like how they have faithfully recreated the combos of delays and reverbs like on the original. One of my best memories of the RE201 is Aba Shanti using it in the Falasha studio with just the spring reverb engaged - worthy of a pedal in its own right! Thanks for watching

[@daleadelic]

@@dubkasm i have also owned the various space echo clones but never liked the feedback when kept going. the newish boss re20 my favourite sounding space echo emulation but still i couldnt get into the feedback when turned right up it went into a nasty distortion that didnt sound real so i sold it and got a strymon el capistan and all my prayers were answered. the feedback was so lush it was hard to resist not over using it haha in fact the el cap is my favorite delay ever out of all digital and real tape etc. it has such a lush hi end sound but still contains the rawness of a tape type sound :)
