Hologram - Dream Sequence

[@luiscosta76]

I have to say: these are probably THE best pedal demos I've ever seen on youtube. Finally someone demonstrates exciting new gear by actually making (great) music with it, instead of just wanking all over the place. Keep it up, great work!

[@UnderSeaShadow]

Don't you just miss the hardcore voice overs? "THE ultimate machine!" :D

[@neonether]

These comments are gold.

[@chrismorrison1345]

I'd buy an ambient album from you I swear.

[@qwasi8420]

abso-fucking-lutely

[@sharkwithhands8657]

For reaaaal

[@heavytimes887]

This might be the most perfect pedal demo I've ever witnessed.

[@Knobs]

[@Knobs]

[@Zeal808]

Knobs beautiful thanks!

[@808quake]

you mean knobs should sound boring as fuck like you, fuggetaboutit

[@dazeja]

""I'm just used to demos by ProGuitarShop, Prymaxe and the rest"",,,,,,, enough said!

[@brendanrice1018]

I'm here for the vibes

[@Knobs]

yes

[@VesselForHonor]

I’m also here for vibes but 8 years later

[@mattpaul5389]

i fell asleep to a playlist of these demos a couple nights ago. bravo.

[@RyansCustomShopandGearOutlet]

Excellent! Liked and subscribed. I actually had mine up for sale this week, and I just ended the listing after watching your demo. You sparked my creativity. Thanks for stopping me from making the mistake of selling mine!

[@ProtMan96]

Tim Hecker in da box. How not to love it !?

[@loubest3935]

This channel is a shoegazers wet dream

[@XiyuYang]

I knew knobs would demo this pedal before I'm here. This pedal is just so knobs`eque.

[@theviolentblue]

as soon as i saw this pedal i thought 'i want it so bad' and then immediately afterward thought 'i bet knobs make a video on it'.

[@Knobs]

:)

[@Soilwar]

+Knobs what are 3 pedals (apart from tuner and ditto) you would never sell? Btw do you have a pedalboard? Getting to know your choices would be very interesting !

[@Knobs]

bitquest, driving notion, warped vinyl, particle, wizard of pitch

[@Knobs]

math is not my strong suit

[@Soilwar]

+Knobs I have only two words for your response: thanks.

[@jburdsinfuse]

What types of chords, notes, arpeggios are being played behind the tones that this creates? Are these simple 4 chord progressions used as a backdrop or just single notes/arpeggios being manipulated?

[@bigblacksal367]

Do you use a looper to mess around with the pedal while recording, or what? Radical videos! I can't get over some of these sounds.

[@Quodge]

Classy Demo classy pedal class presentation. Totally subbed.

[@RathanNice]

2:07-2:13 reminds me of reading rainbow's intro and I love it.

[@indieclock]

dude i love all of your pedal demos but your clean guitar alone makes it worth watching this videos !

[@MrCoolbat]

Your videos are the best, such an aesthetically pleasing style

[@monikadrone671]

breathing sound 6:43///KNOBS///// best pedal demos/// thanks for the clips x

[@SCOREWIZARDSMUSIC]

Is that just signal noise with the drive increase or does it add in white noise?

[@JoshWeisenberger]

I'm wondering that too -- think of a slight gain added to the mix............

[@universalmanchild]

+Josh Weisenberger It's a slight gain, gives it a little bit of dirt as you turn it clockwise.

[@JoshWeisenberger]

+fred flinstone That's awesome

[@universalmanchild]

Josh Weisenberger It's a pretty fun pedal to play with. Although I find it rather distracting in a sense that instead of "playing", I find myself fucking around for a couple hours.

[@JoshWeisenberger]

That's the beauty behind music though, some playing, some f***ing around, a bit of each

[@SCOREWIZARDSMUSIC]

Couldn't this replace your digital delay as well?

[@universalmanchild]

+simming No not at all. It's not a delay pedal, really in the slightest.

[@cyprn6600]

the music 5 minutes in is gorgeous!

[@MoreThan_Bob1776]

Words cannot describe how it was to travel back in time, visit the future, while living out my life in the present all in one moment. Though this video helps . . . 🚬🥃🎚📻🎵🧲👍

[@NukeAllNoobs]

Dude you just produce the most fun, the most showcasing and the most versatile demos. They're always fun to watch and don't get boring. Love your style!

[@civiliansol2824]

What kind of guitar do you use for your demos? I love the tone of it.

[@dan404]

i believe it's a dano dead on 67

[@sinkingship101]

Is this guitar->Pedal->Amp? Is there additional dubbing? All of your demos seem like there are other things going on. Which worries me. I want to know what this pedal sounds like and is capable of.

[@Knobs]

Nothing to worry about. We sometimes use a loop before the pedal, but that's it.

[@jeremycanwalk]

i will never get bored of this

[@JigsawEyesore]

Well, now I need one of those! Beautiful work knobs ❤️

[@aresx666]

This and the Earthquaker afterneath were made for me. ;-;

[@Reverbcore]

That souns like a really charming combo of effects in one pedal! Love this vibe

[@bjscarberry2927]

Some of the sounds generated by this pedal remind me of the score for Upstream Color. If you're into drone music/Radiohead-esque passages, this is a must-have.

[@rikki.stardustt]

Excellent videos and dynamic examples of the pedals shown, thanks!!!

[@noahsgnomes3045]

Hey knobs, if you wouldn't mind me asking what kind of amp do you use?

[@Knobs]

Regular ol' Fender Blues Junior

[@CavernousVaults]

Just when I thought you couldn't make a more perfect video... you made a more perfect video. Cheers!

[@Knobs]

WHAT?! shucks, michael cheers

[@CavernousVaults]

+Knobs Out of curiosity, are you staying strictly with oddball effects, or will you be doing any dist/OD stuff in the future?

[@rdmcgrath1]

This is a great concept you have here. I've been watching pedal demos for a couple of years now, and this is what they should be. The BitQuest review made me laugh out loud. Grandpa's lemons and all that...

[@jazzbeats8168]

Love your sounds and videos, beautifully created! Is this all coming from the Dream Sequence? Or are you feeding other pedals in front? THANKS!

[@Knobs]

There was a looper at times (Ditto x2), but otherwise all Dream Sequence

[@unemployablegraduate]

I'm waiting for your Infinite Jets demo, Knobs... By the way, if you were to make a DVD with all your reviews on one disc, I'd probably buy it!

[@ThePrinceChet]

damn this is a good ass channel. im almost only here for the music now

[@russwilson2305]

"If you can buy a pedal it is already too common". -Angus Young That being said, I fucking enjoy my pedals.

[@10oclocktic]

Great videos simple and to the point .

[@earljohnson8851]

Heard 6 seconds of this video and bought one

[@Knardsh]

does anyone know if you can make "3" patterns using the triplet subdivisions? Id like to get this but not sure its for me if it can only do divisions of 2. wondering if you could make it sound like 3/4 by using the triplets...?

[@ChefSpiceymemes]

Sounds like bliss

[@DovydasMusic]

this is so awesome!

[@NatFreeman666]

Utterly no idea what's happening but I love the sound!

[@kinoscape7996]

New Knobs video? Yes, please!

[@TodaysRemedy]

Knobs you literally make soundtracks for pedals.

[@richardweidner1625]

agree with citizen of nowhere. i finally bought a dream sequence pedal. after watching all the videos out there. this one by knobs is the most artful, thoughtful, instructive of all....love the train movies...is that japan? sure looks like it

[@ModulerDrone]

I bought a guitar so I won't get into modulars... Figured I should get a few more pedals to expand the sound palette and found this channel. Now I'm considering getting a Boredbrain patchulator... and a lot more pedals... what is wrong with me. @_@

[@comesect]

your one of us now...just go with it.

[@pidgeo202]

I love knobs, and im straight ^_^ Oh man the bit at 5.35. loverly

[@googlecontrolfreakjetfuel6914]

Man, you just reversed my hair loss. Or wait, there's money growing outta my head now! I can afford this! LOVE d emo!

[@PinkBoardProducts]

Wow this is one of the most beautiful pedals/demos I've ever heard. I've been building a $3000 pedalboard for years that this one pedal basically covers (well two in parallel would) man makes me feel kind and of... vague. Really beautiful pedal though I'll have to consider picking one up in the future really killer tone.

[@raytheonorion]

This is the best channel.

[@franohan]

Such a good demo. Thanks guys.

[@colinkempsell]

Please don't stop making videos knobs, your channel is like digital heroin.

[@Knobs]

if it keeps you off the streets

[@sloppyjo4560]

magical

[@krakou2]

awesome, maybe you could make quick bonus clips in context eg with a looper? (ps glad you didn't over gondry this one ;))

[@s3ntry948]

I'm in love with this channel. I subscribed immediaetly!

[@SnoozeTheRecluse]

I'm very new to this, I don't know what exactly "pedals" are, but I'm very hypnotized.

[@reneotten7376]

@@guitarguy07 we'll never know.

[@Jo3losauru5]

How long did it take you to make a video like this? Amazing work

[@maxmaxington5873]

Very clean video.

[@___Benedetto]

This Looks like something you would find in the garage ( in a good way ) .

[@RichardQuirkmusic]

looks like TTC footage at 6:50. great pedal workout, I could see this on a f/x send from a modular.

[@ConnorGremory]

Did you notice a volume jump as you turned the gain up? Manual says its supposed to compensate for the increase in gain but mine doesn't, wondering if its a defect.

[@joshuasaposnekoo1421]

have you emailed hologram? i wonder what they think

[@ConnorGremory]

+Joshua Saposnekoo after rewatching this video, i noticed even that model had the volume jump.

[@joshuasaposnekoo1421]

Erik Vicuna At what time is this by chance?

[@ConnorGremory]

+Joshua Saposnekoo little bit before 3 minute mark

[@joe1hundred]

wow Hologram is bringin' it! this is excellent

[@pantheon777]

This would sound really juicy with an analog spring reverb after it.

[@yoshy321]

This is unfair. Thank you

[@Knobs]

[@TheParanoidAndroid79]

+Monderfile WesHall My mom always told me: "Life and beat sequenced guitar effects aren't fair."

[@pitbest232]

so cool

[@whyskythe_cat805]

awesome!

[@Michael-hh7nl]

Amazing demo!

[@zts24]

Can this pedal replace the need to have a EHX freeze Pedal? I really appreciate a answer to this.

[@Knobs]

It sure can. BUT, you will not be able to use the pedal's effects on your guitar at the same time. Once you freeze a sound, the effects apply only to what is frozen, and your guitar's dry signal goes through.

[@zts24]

Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm kind of torn, but it sounds like it might just be worth hanging on to the Freeze then. I can imagine some interesting results with the combination of both pedals.

[@Knobs]

I made the same decision myself. If freeze is a big part of what you do, it's worth having both.

[@PauliReinert]

Try listening to this at 0.5x playback speed

[@ondrejtregler]

I got no idea what the pedal does but I like it a lot

[@benwhackley]

Hey, I love your videos. Would you ever consider making a bass pedal review?

[@Knobs]

yeeeah, it's been considered. simply put, it would raise more questions to switch back and forth than it would answer. it's hard enough to summarize pedals like these concisely. knowwhatimsayin?

[@liamhowarth8247]

nomsayin

[@gebhardmeilinger8578]

Knobs lives for knobs. No matter of the amount of strings. I use the most of the knob-introduces pedals for basses and cello

[@maskilband6472]

I need this

[@omninuss6847]

I can't believe how you're so good, are you even aware?!?!?!

[@vitaliyshastun4162]

The style of video is totally amazing! Very creative vision :)

[@ronaldeatman6603]

Imagine how this would sound hooked up to a Electric Mistress and Rainbow Machine....while even being connected to a Moog Subsequent 25 or Moog Grandmother.

[@chrisneary8538]

need it XD awesome work though knobs

[@alternatingbitmusic]

How much of the soft, soothing muted tone of this demo is actually generated by the pedal itself vs the incoming signal?

[@Knobs]

A lot of it. That's definitely the go-to vibe around here, but the ramp wave of the Dream Sequence turns everything into a sequence of volume swells. And we know how soothing those are.

[@alternatingbitmusic]

yeah, I've obtained the pedal since and love it. I use it for synths actually. Thanks

[@yoshy321]

I want one of these pedals so badly. The pre-ordering system is completely unfair. I've missed out twice now due to they send an email notifying you "Sometime in then next 24 hours they'll update the website" I spent 3 hours last time refreshing the page. Waiting to get one... Had to go to work came up during then.. Getting one of these is darn tricky!

[@universalmanchild]

+Monderfile WesHall Got one #184. Have had it for 2 weeks and have barely even used it. Just beginning to scratch the surface.

[@RichardCorral]

No blues riffs?!

[@gebhardmeilinger8578]

And it's ok. Guitarmusic is more than moronic blues-riffs!

[@palindromeAU]

After using for a few days i wasn't fond of the drive & tone. Needed these to shine to boost the signal but didn't really deliver

[@ChiliPumpTheFunk]

explain to me this pedal (the dream sequence) vs holograms new pedal the infinite Jets resynthesiser.....?

[@IElrekkaI]

[@Mellow_Mike_Sup]

Is this a new channel? It's style of reviews is pretty good

[@lucaswood7602]

Really love this pedal and your demo. Are you going to give the Mel 9 a whirl when it comes out?

[@Knobs]

I really dig that keyboard series. Let's go with a fat maybe.

[@lucaswood7602]

Awesome, I was wondering how you felt about it from initial impressions. I know you tend to do pedals that are quirky and less known. Though I think the Mel 9 is the coolest pedal ehx has came out with in a while. Could be interesting to pair it up with some of your other pedals I was actually thinking it could be amazing with the dream sequence.

[@universalmanchild]

+Lucas Wood Mel 9 is surprisingly efficient. The tracking is tremendous and I spoke with EHX and the thing is analog. That really blows my mind, that it's analog.

[@sackvillestudios4088]

I too am curious about what other pedals are being used before the Dream Sequence? I love all the fluttery and reversed sounding things you get! Would love to hear an album of all these too!!

[@carmenfinore9920]

+Sackville Studios Nothing. That would be my gut instinct. This thing is a magic box.

[@Knobs]

Just a looper sometimes. Ditto x2.

[@restrictedhighways1]

Knobs, would you ever consider making an album using the pedals from your videos? It would be sweet to hear you use them on full songs.

[@Knobs]

In the works, sort of probably

[@sebastianavendano7872]

Do you guys think I could make something similar to this with a Zvex super ringtone?

[@kevinfranz9302]

I'm losing my mind over this

[@augustovera85]

este pedal es unico, no lo tiene en rubio?

[@payt01]

hmm I Love guitar music :)

[@candle_nine]

Oof... This is definitely out of my price range but I want it so bad. Beautiful!

[@universalmanchild]

+Candle Nine Don't be such as basic guy. Do it for you. You've earned it...

[@gebhardmeilinger8578]

I will sell one of my 5 SUVs. I have to set priorities!

[@cristianocipolatti9352]

Sometimes when i want to listen to ambient music i just put this instead. They should record and release an album for each equipment.

[@gebhardmeilinger8578]

This album should be named: OMG oll my gears

[@DeepGreenOsaka]

If you made an album or some kind of recording that included all of your demos, I would buy it and listen to it regularly!

[@Knobs]

thinking about hanging out with all of the knobs clip and making a thing: no intention, little thought, lots of dabble *THUMBS*

[@DeepGreenOsaka]

+Knobs That would be excellent! I would happily pay a bit of money for that!

Пожалуйста, продолжайте снимать! У вас есть зрители в России!

[@Zuni7712]

oh my god am I gonna drop 425$ and get this pedal? fuck.. someone talk me out of it

[@rdmcgrath1]

I'd help you, but I dropped $425 to get this pedal. I've been not using it to the full potential. I just learned a lot about what it can do.

[@AveMcree]

CZni1776 sooooo... did you buy the pedal?

[@boombeatz27]

Ave Mcree Story has it to this day that he never bought that pedal.. but he still watches FX pedal vids 😃

Your channel is an enchantment. Creative. Cool. Well built. Do you run a musical project ? If yes where to find you ?!?

[@Knobs]

No :(

[@sebdos]

Man, go for it !!!

[@scottbrownNZ]

what a great box... I did fall off my chair when i saw the price though...

[@universalmanchild]

+Scott Brown $400+ is not a lot of money when you are talking about a handmade multi-faceted box. It can do a limitless amount of things. Sometimes you gotta pony up. You get what you pay for.

[@andrewtucker1933]

'$400+ is not a lot of money ' sir, I must stop you there
