Gamechanger Plasma: How to Be Advanced

Here’s 5 pro-tips for taking advantage of how unusual the Plasma is. Some of these sounds push the boundaries of what a distortion pedal is typically thought of as being. Settings and timestamps below.

i like these videos because they don't really inspire me to waste money on new gear, they inspire me to see what bizarro shit i can do with the pedals i never use

[@CyberattackWorld]

Sweet, those lo fi kinda tones it gets are pretty cool. It has some of the sounds I've been looking for, now I just need to work on not being broke lol

[@CyberattackWorld]

thanks man

[@TrafVal]

Killer videos, I'm an instant fan. Also I think the Sketchy Sounds Hot Snakes is a clone (ish)? of the EQD Dirt Transmitter.

[@CyberattackWorld]

Good to know, and thanks for the comment

[@iosifkalpaktsoglou2045]

I much prefer the "bad" amp sound before the plasma "improved" it...maybe because I ve spent the last 30 years using whichever amp was the loudest in shared rehearsal spaces. It just sounded familiar. ..

[@danielfarkas7337]

Mind blowing as always! My favorite is the last setting, sounds kinda like a doubler. Btw have you tried the Empresa ZOIA? It would be cool to see what you create on it

[@CyberattackWorld]

Thanks, and yes the Zoia looks amazing but I haven’t played one yet.

[@SandbrycMusic]

I like to set my JHS mini foot to a setting very similar to sound #2! Sounds amazing on its own, and then if you had a klon-style pedal that's a little dirty, MAGIC

[@CyberattackWorld]

i believe it

Tip #5 be back for another listen 👂

[@Folk661]

Hey dawg. What do you use for recording your voice? It sounds janky in a way that might work for my voice. Ps sick work

[@CyberattackWorld]

I’ve always wondered when I’d have to reveal this. The current vocal setup is extremely low-tech: SM57 mic recorded with a Focusrite Scarlett, going into GarageBand and using their “Narration Vocal” preset. If this serves as an inspiration to my janky-voiced dawgs everywhere, I would love that.

[@Folk661]

@@CyberattackWorld dude, I should have guessed. Knew it.

[@alexmw14]

Found you through a post on TGP, and your channel has become my newest KZbin rabbit hole. Is that last song inspired by Herbie Hancock? I hear Chameleon in there.

[@CyberattackWorld]

Hey man thanks for checking it out. That last song has a Herbie Hancock vibe for sure but it’s actually my version of “Play with Me,” by Jeff Beck. I made some changes but you should check out the original, it’s one of the coolest songs ever.

[@alexmw14]

@@CyberattackWorld Wow, cool song!

[@Coinmancer]

I was going to make a Doom Metal band but now I guess Ill just make video game music

[@CyberattackWorld]

This was my journey as well

[@szubkaMuffin]

Keep making those videos bro, one day this channel will be a classic

[@CyberattackWorld]

thanks man

[@adrianjaramilloman]

Sick 🤕

[@CyberattackWorld]

thanks for checking it out

[@jat5am]

amazing. could their tesla coil be used the same way?

[@CyberattackWorld]

I haven't played one, but from reading the manual I think most or all of these sounds will be doable on the Coil, so yes. you might have to spend some time tweaking though.

[@Davepotnoodle]

The Tesla coil is (from what I've read/ heard) a plasma pedal + some octave up/down options built in. So I'm pretty confident you could get all these sounds, except maybe the Pre-amp one because I'm not sure if the tesla coil has a clean through switch like the plasma...

[@CyberattackWorld]

Really good point

[@darthzen]

The big difference that would stop you is that the Tesla Coil does not have a blend knob. It’s 100% wet 100% of the time. So, your EQ/boost trick wouldn’t work.

[@JMD333]

The last song you play.... Is that a Billy Cobham or Eric Johnson?? I have it some where 👍

[@CyberattackWorld]

you’re right there dude, it’s “Play with Me” by Jeff Beck

[@JMD333]

@@CyberattackWorld dang I was close

[@JMD333]

@@CyberattackWorld I was initially thinking of the Billy Cobham and George Duke live in Europe album. If you haven't listened to it, you must!

[@Sadsoft]

Is that jimmy the exploder on the 5th jam track

[@CyberattackWorld]

no, but I can see how you got there. It's "Play with Me" by Jeff Beck, I just messed with it a lot

The Dod Carcosa Fuzz can make sounds like this also. An it helps the yellow king to take over the world und crush all humans ahhahahahahahahahahahaha
