Electro-Harmonix Canyon Delay / Looper Pedal (Demo by Bill Ruppert)

[@zs8784]

I gotta say: that 50s cartoon intro giving way to a DELICIOUS rendering of Pink Floyd's "Echoes" is INSANE. Utter genius. Based on that alone, I want the pedal. Watched the rest of the video and yeah... sold!

[@ednns4176]

Best possible opening for a delay pedal demo

[@carriecreative6555]

me too! I'm sold. 😀

[@ChristianIce]

Your stuff is so good that whoever decided to hide the like/dislike rate should be fired.

[@EHX]

ChristianIce the fact you took the time to write is the best like we could get. Thanks!

[@RevHeadzApp]

I can't count how many times I've listened to this clip over the past few weeks... can't wait to get my hands on one.

[@arpadrosta8006]

RevHeadz Same here...I've been looking for a delay to replace my old Zoom G1xn. I was considering the Flashback and DD7 for years, now I'm glad I didn't get . At this price range most pedals don't have the tap tempo feature, so this is a big plus for me. Never pre-ordered anything before, but this, I couldn't resist.

[@neithere]

This should be the gold standard for ads. It doesn't try to convince you to buy one of many similar products, it just demonstrates a very good product in a beautiful but correct and concise way. I'm going to buy this pedal because what I've just heard and seen is fantastic and I can imagine spending many evenings playing through this thing and never regretting the decision. And I was going to buy something cheaper. Well done.

[@neithere]

Upd: I've actually bought it the same day, pretty happy with it. The looper is surprisingly good. Obviously overdrive should be applied _before_ this pedal, especially in shimmer mode, and the amp should normally be in clean mode. I can't say that I can create absolutely any echo/reverb effect with this thing, but I still haven't even explored the alternative knob modes. Didn't expect a manual for a pedal; not to mention that apparently I actually _need_ it. I've proceeded maybe ⅔ so far.

[@paulcleverley2158]

Yea, I watched the entire add and was glad to. I'll buy one these too.

[@MrSkids29]

How many of you have watched this demo more than once? I've literally watched this demo at least 20xs since it's published date. My Canyon arrives today!

[@Slears]

I like how EHX allways gets one step further then all the other companies..great Pedal

[@corbett3]

that intro deserves an award. damn

[@guitarandgraves]

Unexpected King Crimson....I think I'm sold on this pedal.

[@jayarcanum]

You better keep paying the guy who made and recorded this demo video EHX. Those fingers, kemper tones and wonderfully setup Ibanez will sell many pedals. And the pedal sounds great too, much like most EHX things. Fantastic all around! Wonderful playing!

[@omvivekananda5968]

I expected this to be $300 plus.. $139?!?! ORDERED!! Can't wait to play through this thing!

[@rickynavarro7176]

Om Vivekananda agreed!

[@furbymetal83]

So, I got this today. I was expecting a bang for the buck, plenty of cool modes, good stuff. And then i plugged it, noticed that each knob has a VAST sweep, and it feels completely malleable. Makes you feel like you can obtain pretty much any delay or ambient sound you can think of. Plus, that tap tempo, subdivisions, POG function... Oh EHX, you so crazy, putting all this fun in a little box.

[@someguyontheinternet2714]

Shoutout to y'all for playing some Discpline-era King Crimson. The Sheltering Sky is a great song from a great album.

[@TheGreatShiftyJim]

Agreed - did not expect that

[@RobertRoweMusic]

Realize this is 6yrs old, but I've watched it a number of times, and finally have my Canyon comping in the mail this week! Mainly using it with a 5 string electric violin and a soprano uke, but so excited to explore this beast of a pedal!

[@xebio6]

EHX and Mr Bill Ruppert, you did it again. Hats off.

[@EHX]

Thank you!

[@versao2]

I already have this pedal. But after this demo I’ll buy another one just to make sure EHX will stay in business forever.

[@SRNF]

Bro your Pink Floyd intro was amazing. Seriously dude nice work.

[@timothyrice1621]

I love how they go from that intro into Echoes. that's fucking gold

[@joemccartman]

Must be one of the most impressive video beginnings I have ever heard!

[@uhhhhyourmom]

This is the single greatest thing I have ever seen in my entire life

[@neckreth]

It is amazing

[@ryanmozert]

true

[@dennisp3314]

This Bill Ruppert is such a Monster guitar player. Seems he can do any style, any feel. I Sometimes - if I see he's got a video, will just play it to watch him. What musician ! One of those unsung Heroes.

[@merkin2ify]

What kind of Guitar' is Bill playing. I can't seem to find an answer to this Q on the web. Or I'm stoopid.

[@dektrimusic]

How is humanly possible to watch this and not want one so badly?

[@jaydencudd9835]

I’ve had this pedal for quite a while now and if you’re still questioning if you should get one… get one. If this is the first you’ve seen of it… get one. It’s never left my board and to this day I’m able to find new functions and sounds I didn’t know were there

[@liligman]

EHX I love you. You guys don't make ads, the product sells itself, and the demos are incredible

[@leftpastsaturn67]

Some folks wish they could play as well as Vai, EVH, Metheny, *insert other names here*.... I'd be happy to play half as well as Mr Ruppert.

[@derek.7]

Bill is an amazing player I agree !

[@bainmack]

EHX is continuously providing unbelievably great products and making the rest of us feel immortal for moments at a time. Thank you!

[@rickynavarro7176]

bainmack well said!!!

[@UglyKenHart]

That cell phone trick had me literally clapping my hands and laughing uproariously I enjoyed it so much.

[@leftpastsaturn67]

The first pedal I've ever purchased just on the strength of watching a video demo... the sheer versatility & convenience of this is way beyond its price & the sounds available are just superb. If you're after a small platform delay unit with a wealth of sounds then this is an absolute no-brainer to try out. I'm now tempted to get another one on my board... imagine the possibilities.

[@Toasty_1992]

The fact that you know how to play all these different amazing styles and produce great sound is awesome. But you really blew me away whenever you put your phone up to your GUITAR pickups and recorded a drum beat on the looper. 🤯

[@lancecreviston6787]

That intro with Echoes gave me chills it was so good

[@jgrady7779]

I bought this pedal a couple hours ago and right off the bat I can say its one of the best delay pedals I've messed with, and certainly the best I've ever owned. I can't believe this thing only costs $140. I traded an OBNE Black Fountain for it and I won't look back.

[@danyeo]

The Shimmer effect on the Canyon is one of my favorite compared to most other modern delay pedals.

[@asdfk3246]

Best intro in the world

[@FredRaymondNa70]

I should be strong and resist to buy this pedal... to buy this pedal... buy this pedal... buy this pedal... buy this pedal... buy this pedal... buy this pedal!

[@Dan_Cal]

"Multi tap delay." Instantly made me smile when I heard the effect. I've been looking everywhere for a pedal that sounds like this. I will definitely buy this pedal in March.

[@robertcrow5734]

You’re selling this to me with that King Crimson riff.

[@orionxte]

I have a hunch that Bill Ruppert may be a Floyd fan? Then again, that's what makes these demos so enjoyable.

[@matthewbond8843]

I was watching this video to give a friend advice about which delay pedal to buy. Looks like now I’m buying a new delay pedal too. This thing is freaking gorgeous.

[@lazur1]

I'm mostly a "straight to the amp" guy. The rare times I might've use most effects hasn't been worth the expense. This changes all that!

[@maxduvall9055]

just ordered one like 5 hours ago, wanted to watch some more videos to make sure I didn't waste my money. I don't regret anything so far. I still have very little experience with pedals but jeeeeez this sounds amazing. I couldn't find an Akai headrush so I went for this one instead.

[@savanaviolenta]

Did you check the Grand Canyon?It has stereo outs and more options.

[@thenewmedic]

My jaw hit the floor. Was already planning to get one, now I'm just a wee bit more excited.

[@thenewmedic]

Got it and WOW WOW WOW

[@michaellandi1582]

That echoes solo at the beginning jesus

[@justinmacisaac4723]

Just got one last weekend. I thought it might be hard to wrap my head around the secondary controls once you hit the tap/divide button but it came with a chart that shows what knob does what for each effect making it simpler to use. Great price for the amount of things jammed into it. Came with a power supply too thumbs up EHX.

[@swervature]

Let's give it up for Mr. Bill Ruppert. You always make it look so easy!

[@edmundchoy2992]

Many who bought the pedal will probably not be able to play like that. This is from another level!

[@bronsonyazzie1065]

The oscillating effect at the end of the demo, where you manually turn the delay knob is probably what makes analog delay pedals awesome.🤘

[@hellboundTX333]

got this pedal last week. Just awesome. The memory man and shimmer settings are worth the price alone. So many cool sounds i'm still just scratching the surface. A+++ Electro Harmonix!

[@shaner3431]

i'm convinced EHX is the best guitar pedal company

[@axzxxzxa8613]

Immediately recognized the Pink Floyd's Echoes (live at Pompeii) guitar solo. Liked.

[@dwightshumate7614]

Just bought mine Wednesday as a gift to myself. Gonna be a fun weekend.

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

I love how the pedal looks. I really wanted this since it came out.

[@neopythagorean]

That intro was righteous. Great pedal. Offers so much at a price people can afford.

[@ToxicFruitSnack]

I think I’m going to get this for my first pedal because I’m really interested in ambient guitar. Should be pretty fun

[@natepopodi4770]

This or the Oceans 11 would be a great choice, then!

[@javierloaizamusic]

This is how a pedal demo should be done! Amazing job Bill Ruppert & EHX

[@Dudeitsmeee]

Kudos to EHX for letting Bill demo their products, never has gear lust been so strong then a Bill Ruppert Effectology or EHX product demo.

[@TheDrStank]

Ive come back more than once just to hear you play that solo from echoes.

[@TornacenseDeFuturo]

Joey Chapman I'm doing the same, already learned his solo and recorded :)

[@LifeOnceLived]

I have been playing for nearly 20 years and I think this is the coolest pedal i have ever seen

[@LifeOnceLived]

you could write some crazy shit with this pedal!!!

[@rileyjordan8114]

As Above So Below this pedal has everything for an amazing price. I knew of this pedal as a delay but never anticipated all the features before this review. I have no idea how it is so small. I will say this is the best value in a pedal I have ever seen.

[@Sebastian-ep1vr]

Dude is a distractingly good guitar player I don't what was cooler whatchin this pro play or learning about this crazy ass pedal

[@marketingdisaster]

This is one of the best product demos I've ever seen, software or hardware. Please credit the guitarist in the description. Would love to know who this guy is.

[@EHX]

Thank you Doug! My name is Bill Ruppert

[@BackyardRambo]

Cheers, Bill. Great job.. I'm sold…

[@graeliengrayson937]

Look at it. Just LOOK at it! Never mind the sound (which you know is amazing!). When I buy this, I'll mess up my act because I'm staring at this beautiful pedal.

[@DireFloyd]

the first solo... echoes. it was amazing

[@Lovely_Lizard]

Probably the best review of a pedal

[@middle_pickup]

EHX has done it again. They consistently create great effects at unbelievable prices. Can't wait to try this one!

[@lewis6567]

This pedal is incredible, it has baffled me by it's seemingly unlimited possibilities, I was just looking for a delay pedal man... Hahaha

[@mootbooxle]

"Echoes" was an appropriate intro!

[@guitello100]

112 people are missing part of their brain! This is simply awesome. Awesome pedal and stellar playing!

[@SoundAffects]

Can't wait for this pedal. We have it available for pre-order now on our site!

[@raulfossa_realtor]

Brother rocking Pink Floyd like a God! 🤘🏼

[@mykleyoung8770]

Mine just arrived .... Thank you Sweetwater and EHX

[@RafaelRibeiro-kv9nw]

Where would i buy this?

[@mykleyoung8770]

Got mine from Sweetwater. Ordered Friday arrived Monday.

[@mykleyoung8770]

It really is a nice pedal.

[@pavXX]

So I am totally not a "pedal guy" but this thing looks & sounds frigging awesome. SOLD! at 4:13

[@supermonkeycollider]

skipping to 4:13 ... oh wow.

[@ferntheburn1121]

pavXX I know right

[@rosskrause3926]

I just got my new one yesterday,and within 1 minute I already found a sound I have been searching for for a while with other pedals,the Pat Traverse"Boom Boom out go the lights" chorus drenched guitar parts..it sounds perfect and I only made it to the tape delay because I got hung up on awesomeness ! To all this pedal is absolutely awesome ! I never use the neck humbucker pickup,a SD 59' and wow it has that creamy lead tone that retains clarity,even during long solo runs its incedible..probably my best buy of 2017 next to my new Iron Label Ibanez..get this pedal folks,its kickass,and this video by Bill Ruppert is a perfect example of just a few sounds it can make..its truly amazing!

[@tarquinshred]

Got this pedal yesterday along with the Hot Wax dual overdrive - can safely confirm both sound sick af :)

[@randallleon711]

King Crimson! Yeeeah! Adrian Belew would approve!

[@tremolo664]

Will patiently wait for the Deluxe Canyon.

[@matthewhackett3429]

I'm already looking forward to seeing how some of my friends and favorite artists utilize this pedal on upcoming projects! It's a real game changer!

[@edpack4390]

LOL the Pink Floyd riff pretty much sold me on this pedal.

[@Dilaudid123]

Give this man a raise!

[@cyberdel]

That intro solo melted my face

[@coolkidscarclub]

Oh no, where's my face?!

[@branting2]

You sold me with the joke of playing "Echoes" presenting a delay pedal

[@w.rustylane5650]

I would get this for the reverse. That reverse sounds awesome. I think the Canyon is better than the TC Electronic "Flashback". I would get it for the "shimmer" effect as well. Makes a guitar sound like an organ.

[@DelReiRock]

Please, create a deluxe pedal with Canyon + Oceans 11 with presets.... It will sell like hot cakes!!! 💕

[@NGinuity]

Agreed.

[@darrellstyner0001]

I've been watching LOTS of pedal demos lately and have to say that this is the best I've seen. Great playing and demonstration of all the features. Well done!

[@CammojoDragon97]

Been looking for a second delay to compliment my DD500, and I have now found it! Well done, this thing is fanTASTIC

[@3three3three3three]

the shim is so amazing that i'm overwhelmed by the other stuff. this is one of the best pedals ever

[@jasondorsey7110]

The shm setting is all I use it for, but it's worth it for that alone

[@rkelly62]

@@jasondorsey7110 Have you had any issues with yours cutting in and out? Mine sometimes the LED flashes and the shm cuts in and out with it.

[@EHX]

@@rkelly62 Make sure you are using the EHX sully. A supply that is under powered will cause the problems you are having!

[@rkelly62]

@@EHX Thanks for the reply. I am using the EHX supply, but I will try others. I have quite a few EHX pedals so I will try some of the other ones. Thanks again.

[@pacorka9943]

This video sold me on this. I found it on Guitar Center's website, watched this video, played it once, and now I own it. And it's AMAZING!!!

[@COU51N.Kyle.]

7:45 gets me in the feels. I can’t wait to get my hands on a canyon!!

[@spyderlogan4992]

Bought mine at the Dallas Guitar Festival this last weekend. Simple to use, powerful modes and priced right.

how i wish it had stereo ins/outs ;( so beautiful

[@Dorray]

This is going to have to be my next purchase. Such great sounds from one pedal at an affordable price. I'm sold.

[@folkrod]

IT EVEN HAS SAMPLE AND HOLD! I was gonna buy a DD-6 just to do that but NOT ANYMORE! Cannot wait to get my hands on this pedal.

[@Whoosh12345]

8:37 Wow I had no idea I could do this! This is gonna make my loops so much better!

[@KilSwt2318]

Honestly one of the best pedals I’ve ever used

[@poio_cumbiero4770]

i love your reviews, they're the only ones where someone play something decent not only shity chords

[@crusifieddonkey]

Never fell in love with a pedal by just watching a demo. This is a first

[@davids9192]

Thanks for the fantastic demo Bill. Every time I watch one of your videos I end up buying the Pedal! The Canyon is taking pride of place on my board and has made some others redundant which helped fund the purchase.

[@EHX]

Thanks David!

[@sreylas666]

Oh my god this had got to be the greatest pedal ever. I want it so bad for some projects. It's perfect.

[@safrprojects]

That slide looping was insane dude, I love it

[@TheZeppelinFloyd]

You demo-ed with a king crimson song. You win. I don't know what, but you win.

[@mikepintoguitar]

This thing looks like a real winner. EHX - if you're listening, if you could implement the ability to save & access presets on a pedal this size, then you'd have a real winner.

[@paulsmart5199]

I love this demo. Just wish I could make it sound as awesome. I'd love reviewers to give a pedal settings in the description with a timestamp

[@jensssskljhdkhs]

I don't care if it ruins me. I gotta have every single one of the EHX pedals. You'll find me on the street, with the most epic guitar tone you've ever heard. Also, "Sheltering Sky" was amazing. You're a god damn evil genius with that guitar
