[@SeanZetterlund]

truly the Bob Ross of the guitar community. good demo man!

[@jjrusy7438]

this would be a top-shelf choice as a first pedal. I wish this would have been my first pedal.

[@kevotheclone]

I'm guilty of never really seeking a good Avalanche Run video, until today... I saw the Chords of Orion video and thought, "that's the one"; as always you demo'd in thoroughly, thoughtfully, and intelligently... thanks Bill!

[@aaronready1]

I bought v2 a month ago....absolutely love it. Sounds instantly transport you

[@chordsoforion]

Excellent! Which delay type do you normally use?

[@aaronready1]

Honestly, i am getting back in to a guitar rig again after 8 yrs without!!! So at this point I am Starcaster

[@pimentocheese618]

I'm gettin this pedal in about 2 weeks, thanks to this wonderful video :) the 100% wet reverb, the swells and the "Analoguish" sound that the lower tones of delay gives you, it's what gets me

[@TheBlueskyson]

Got some bud man? Cool playing and demo. Actually, one of the best demo's i've seen. Cool, easy, and to the point. Gr8 presentation style. ty bro.

[@LauraSquirrel]

Excellent! I can't wait for the companion video.

[@agerven]

Wonderful pedal, and very nice video. So Strymon is still cool, but this will not be out of place on any pedal board! Be looking into it! The detail I really liked in this video is how you appear to grow taller, and up when the auto-swell is doing it job! Thanks for all your nice work and demos Bill!

[@michaelnewham6958]

Thankyou for all the work you do. Been watching you for years and what you offer and explain is always superb content. I’ve just bought one of these so to free up the dig and blue sky from a synth set up and get them back on my guitar pedal board. Shine and shimmer on Mr. Chords of Orion.

[@eldude-iv8dw]

Excellent demo.

[@WintherKl]

Amazing tones indeed!

[@HillsSilent]

Owned a V1 for a couple years, can't see myself parting with it... quality pedals for sure.

[@anthonyfesta7010]

I just purchased this pedal. I’m stacking a Walrus Mako series D1 digital delay on it, it’s wonderful.

[@flyjohnson711]

First Verve Album -Check Syd Barrett -Check Modern and Vintage dynamics with high fidelity. Some Strymon stuff is also awesome like Big Sky and Flint, but this is in its own category. This is one of the best of the best of Reverb and Delay period.

[@Direksone]

You should demo the new Seymour Duncan reverb+delay pedal that they made with Mark from Periphery! That pedal actually allows you to choose if you want delay>verb or vice versa. It looks super versatile and I would be interested to see how it sounds in the hands of an ambient master!

[@christopherecatalano]

Fantastic demo! I may have mentioned this before, but not only is the sound on sound thing amazing and a lot of fun, but if you shut the time setting right off beautiful synth tones are quite randomly generated. Turn the mix right down, crank the time up and back down again...when the mix comes back up, voila, totally new pitch. It is very hit and miss, and according to the developer each pedal will give different results. I can attest to that because I am on my third pedal (I switched out with a great retailer until I got one that generated the most varied tones and pitches). When I have a guitar loop running on the ditto, I can play with these synth tones and literally add them in when they work harmonically. So it is also a synth! Your guitar, btw, has a lovely tone...a lot of that comes from the mind and fingers right? I absolutely love what you did with the reverse delay!

[@LauraSquirrel]

That's pretty cool.

[@AndyAcker]

Looking forward to that next video, man! Reverse is pretty important to me, and I particularly enjoyed the auto-swell stuff at around the 3 min. mark. The flexi-switch and tap tempo parts of this pedal are what I'm excited to see more of. Also more uses with both reverb/delay and some discussion around that. Thanks again for your vids: great vibe and fun sounds.

[@Grunfeld]

Good review which allowed the pedal to be heard. Appreciate that. Thanks.

[@walkerrosewood]

Great pedal, and great ideas, Bill! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@flyjohnson711]

And too add Strymon Big Sky -Cocteau Twins Avalanche -Verve/Floyd Flint -Early Psyche to 80s Lexicon Between those 3 you are covered

[@roccoharris]

great demo here. thanks much for that. &, man... what a lovely pedal!!

[@garthosborn6597]

Excellent demo, as usual. I would love this pedal as I am just considering a real pedalboard to replace my homemade one. I now look for your demos first. If someone assaults my ears first thing with distorted sweep picking pyrotechnics, I move on. Great job, Bill.

[@ironfossil9963]

My favorite pedal of all time. I can't get enough this thing even after a year. Edit: As far as reverse delay goes, there's a sweet spot that will give you faux arpeggiation. It's really cool.

[@chordsoforion]

Great tip. Thanks for sharing!

[@Supernautiloid]

@Iron Fossil Can you please explain more about what settings you used to get that effect? I own the Avalanche and would like to know. Thanks in advance.

[@LauraSquirrel]

@@Supernautiloid Yeah. I want to know what they are too.

[@ironfossil9963]

@@Supernautiloid Sure. Again, it's an audio illusion of arpeggiation so don't hate me if it wasn't what you were expecting lol Delay: 10:00/11:00/9:00/11:00 Reverb: 2:00/9:00 Toggle: reverse Shoot for overtones in reverb while not covering up the delay. Play 8th notes in time and release. You'll hear it. Other factors that may influence Guitar: Yamaha Pacifica 612 (single coil neck) Amp: Boss Katana 50 (clean)

[@Supernautiloid]

@Iron Fossil I tried this today and I think I hear what you mean. I heard a sort of quasi-arpeggiated effect behind the notes. Very cool. Thanks for the info. :)

[@stevehealt9046]

I'm definitely adding this pedal to my list. Excellent demo

[@timothymckane6362]

Back then I mentioned that I didn't want to get the Avalanche Run (which was the v1) since I had gotten the Afterneath and Transmisser. And yet, I decided to get the v2 because it has the necessary settings for reverb (like getting a full wet reverb setting in swell mode which is my favorite setting).

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

I love using the Avalanche Run and Transmisser for really cool modulating space textures

[@codyzwick2753]

Got this pedal for the delay but I end up using mostly the reverb

[@chordsoforion]

I can understand why!

[@XIIMonkeysMusicGroup]

I got it for the delay too, but use mostly reverb before my Nemesis (so my Nemesis is sandwiched between Reverbs!)

[@pedrothevenard]

Adventure Time vibe when he goes crazy.

[@sunlink88]

Great video, I got mine yesterday and I can't wait to play with my bass. Is the next video on yet? Thanks you!!!

[@savanaviolenta]

I'm getting this one.

[@leonardo.rafael]

Have you made a review of EQD’s Rainbow Machine please ?

[@christopherwilliamsinpdx]

Great review 👍

[@RedRose4711]

Sounds absolutely wonderful!

[@Supernautiloid]

I own it. I love it.

[@Dirtydrock001]

I haven't bought an expression pedal yet for it does it make a huge difference

[@Supernautiloid]

@Dean botts Not a mind blowing difference unless you really like the expression options. You can do some really neat stuff with the parameters through. I got one because I figured if I’m going to spend that kind of money on a pedal I might as well get the most out of it. But to be honest I don’t use it that much.

[@liligman]

@@Supernautiloid bet you get some nice Ed O’Brien-esque soundscapes out of this!

[@Supernautiloid]

@@liligman I mostly use it in combination with my other delay pedal to do ambient drones. The reverb on this pedal is amazing, especially when you turn the mix knob up. It sounds like you are in a another dimension. :P

[@Martin23673]

I am thinking about getting a Boss GT-1000CORE, which includes some delay effects. Would it make sense to get the Avalanche Run anyway? Can it crete sounds a multieffects delay could not create? In a way it's a bit sad to have a multieffect unit which can do about everything without other pedals.

[@lightnintrucker]

Cool! Didn't see the Avalanche Run on yer pedalboard as ya did the studio tour video?

[@chordsoforion]

Yes, it was there with the EHX Grand Canyon, which is coming up soon!

[@melodymelos]

What are you doing around 6:55 to change your note attack time? Is that something built into your axe or is it a pedal off-screen?

[@jonathannuqui5561]

He's using a volume pedal; he talks about it shortly after that timestamp.

[@dingusmalfunction4369]

the mic u used is very nice

[@anselmountain6884]

do you know any reverb or echo effect that give a 12 second delay or 10 seconds?

[@aaronteague3512]

Anyone have any idea if the hotone soul press works in Expression mode with this pedal?

[@brwhyon]

Hey Bill, I've been playing with running the Av after a Meris Enzo, freaky sounds, might add the Meris Murc 7 for some more deepness and room. Thoughts ?

[@chordsoforion]

Sounds cool to me! I don't have either of the Meris pedals, but if I did would try it out.

[@LewWelchThePoet]

🤘👍🏿👍🏿🤘

[@zz8037]

@2:51 maybe made for a bass?

[@levijessegonzalez3629]

How would you say things compares to the ocean machine. Can you get these tones out of the Mooer?

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Ocean has a looper, two delays and a reverb. I would say you can probably do more with the ocean machine but I think the quality of the sound coming from this pedal should be a little better but again I don't own the ocean machine so could be wrong..

[@markkens9]

What I'm thinking is I want tabs for your noodling here ;) This is "so beautiful"

[@justinviveiros7375]

What is processing first on this. Reverb ~>delay or delay~>reverb?

[@checktheneck]

Justin Viveiros delay > reverb

[@chordsoforion]

Correct! delay -> reverb

[@leojercic697]

hi, I like your posts and I watch them often. But my question is unusual, what brand is your t-shirt .. Im asking because of the tiny wide collar.. :-)

[@chordsoforion]

Ha! I've never been asked about that. The shirts I wear in my videos are this brand: www.32degrees.com/

[@leojercic697]

Thank you! As far as music is concerned I bought recently an MXR Submachine Octave Fuzz .. :-)

[@leojercic697]

And the article number .. :-) :-) :-) of the shirt?

[@chordsoforion]

Very nice!

[@saraclark4538]

nice demo....but didnt sell me on it

[@motosportadv8177]

Looks I better start saving $$$ for yet another cool effects pedal otherwise my bank account will keep getting smaller😁! Thanks Bill for the Pro level review!👍

[@TheSwampLion]

Have you tried the Afterneath?

[@chordsoforion]

No I have not, but I am pretty sure it would be fun. :-)

[@TheSwampLion]

It does look fun. I was looking into that and the Wampler Ethereal. There are so many!

[@SethWorsham]

I'm really surprised that you haven't tried the Afterneath, they're up to version 3 now. Amazing pedal, would love to see demos of all 3 versions from you!

[@chordsoforion]

@@SethWorsham Although it does look like fun, it's not a pedal that I would go out and purchase, as it is mono. My rigs are stereo and it's very limiting to me if a modulation/delay/reverb device only does mono. But if EQD happens to send me one, I will be all over it.

[@airdale4621]

Could you do an afterneath review?

[@chordsoforion]

If they ever go stereo, I will be the first in line!

[@xsm5525]

cool pedal, really want it, but overpriced for me.

[@bertagriese8282]

stop annoying people with "flippertronics" whatever that is...

[@chordsoforion]

Ah yes - you must be an unbeliever. My people are not annoyed with Frippertronics, but rather, entranced.
