Seriously, dude. You are magic.

[@doomsdayZen]

I made it about a minute and 12 seconds before I paused the video and bought the pedal.

[@cxrecords9934]

I emailed Hungry Robot to see if he could add a pre filter noise switch instead of a reverb pad and he said he's working on it this weekend!!! If interested in that he said to contact him via email!!! He said he might make a limited run of them if theres enough demand or do it as a custom option!!

[@chinmeysway]

CxRecords i have one with the noise mod; would most likely be interested in selling.

[@444levels9]

so whatever happened with this, how did yours turn out, details please?

[@444levels9]

@@chinmeysway how does the mod sound and what was your experience please?

[@chinmeysway]

444 Levels well the mod was at the expense of not having reverb. a trade of sorts. so it’s fine, i have other reverb pedals...just depends on how you like: how you want to use noise. is unique for pedals to have such so, yeah, there’s that.

“today we flee 2019 because who needs it?” oh no that did not age well.

[@Wencater]

I wish pedals were less expensive, so many unique sounds can be made with them...

[@Merlincat007]

I'd recommend getting a Zoom Multistomp pedal like the MS-50G! Like $70 or less used. You can definitely find presets that people have made to replicate these sort of lo-fi sounds as well as most other pedal sounds you could imagine!

[@boarderking133]

Gavan Borgias I second this. I have and you get some wacky stuff. I can even emulate a Schumann pll.

[@purpled4864]

Only problem is the less we pay for pedals or handbuilt gear the more we pay to companies like behringer and the more little independent builders suffer. I've never had much money but the tradeoff still isn't worth it to me

[@theprodepressants1865]

I replaced my Chase bliss warped vinyl with this pedal and LOVE it

[@DK-qe6uo]

The Prodepressants do you have any latency issues?

[@enricoDV1995]

The Prodepressants do you think this one is better?

[@NorthWoodsCountryBoy]

DK Yes, lots of latency. If you turn the dry signal up enough to get rid of the latency then the pedal really doesn’t seem to do much, unless I just haven’t figured out how to use it yet.

Is...Is this the evolution of the Julia?

[@rickc2102]

*Walrus has left the chat*

[@MarcosDjivelekian]

@@rickc2102 lol, I mean I have the Julia and it's one of my fav pedals, and it can be use in a more subtle way too as just a vibrato or chorus; this one seems to be quite "in your face lo-fi extravaganza". But it does it so good, based on the video.

[@Honking_Goose]

A little bit I mean theres a different focus i actually think both could be used on a board but yeah if I could only pick i'd pick this pedal over Julia, the filter offers to much

Just love this video and pedal

[@PaulBoos]

This is a great pedal - I just got the Kármán Line for Christmas for my synths. This might be one of the next ones to consider.

[@Alexis-kw2fj]

incredible pedal

[@maxsink]

I got the pedal and was a bit annoyed by the delay on the wet channel. I would say its more like 50ms. It feels like a slapback. It makes it hard to use as a vibrato. When you mix in the dry signal for more of a chorus it just doesn't feel tight so fast tempos are a no go. I found that you really have to play to the pedal to get it to sound good. A light touch and slow playing work best, just like knobs does here.

[@maxsink]

Apparently it's just a byproduct of the chip that handles the pitch changes. Still really love the pedal though. The more I play with it the more I'm inclined to keep it

[@jitterbug__]

Interesting observation. How "bad" would you say it is when using this as a classic chorus?

[@melaniemerlot5471]

@@jitterbug__ I've been using it for about a year now and I do like it as a chorus. It has more character than most choruses especially with the filters.

[@j.willgooseesq.2223]

I have this pedal - it's great (although as always I can't make it sound as great as it does here). Just a word of warning though as I haven't seen any video reviews mention this: the wet channel has a good 20ms delay (I'd guess) on it which means if you want to play live at 100% wet it can be quite challenging. I think a lot of video reviews just stick looper pedals through it so kind of forget sometimes about the practicalities of actually playing the thing live. I don't wish to impugn Knobs though as it is the greatest thing on KZbin by far. Ok bye

[@j.willgooseesq.2223]

20ms might be over-egging it a bit actually, but it's noticeable enough to distract. It's still a really great pedal though

[@gabrieleponticiello6842]

@@j.willgooseesq.2223 , 20 ms is a lot! Thanks for mentioning. Man, you are making me hesitate: I was just about to click on the Pay Now button...

[@j.willgooseesq.2223]

@@gabrieleponticiello6842 Let me measure it properly and get back to you. If you just want to play with a bit of random warble though the Fairfield pedal is a much easier one for real time wonkiness, it just doesn't have the wider expressiveness of this (excellent) pedal

[@j.willgooseesq.2223]

Eek. I just recorded it. The time difference between the dry and wet channel is actually pretty much 50ms. As I say it's fine to play with a bit of dry and wet mixed in together as then you've got a fantastic chorus pedal but if you are intending to use this as a 100% wet warble-factory then 50ms is quite a lot to play through.

[@maxsink]

agreed

Your channel is just So fine. like watching gear porn and visiting a cool,weird, Soho Art Gallery at the same time, all the while I’m always gettin schooled on tasteful effects usage, I once left a marathon of knobs on during a party, the crowd all centered around it the entire night. U rule, love to see your effects collection one day, it’d be unorthodox,but entertaining nonetheless 👍👍👍👍👍

[@MrCornWolf]

I love pedals like this and others Ive seen featured on this channel, but what would it be called? Like if I wanted to look for pedals that do some of the weird lfo and delay stuff what term should I search?

[@TheArtisticFlavor]

The warble sound is from pitch modulation, and can be found in chorus/vibrato pedals. Something like the Walrus Audio Julia is a Chorus/Vibrato Pedal that get's a nice liquidy warble sound. Some pedals use a combination of effects along with pitch modulation to shape their sound. This Hungry Robot pedal in this video adds some extra's, like filter's and reverb to shape it's sound. The Zvex Lofi Instant Junky adds compression. The Fairfield Circuitry Shallow Water utilizes a very short bucket brigade delay with random modulation along with a low pass gate.

[@ThePedalBored]

Lovely demo as always. What do you use to edit and add type to your video?

[@ebeep]

This pedal delivers in person. Super warm and lush. Anyone know if this is PT2399 based? My bandmate owns it, so I don't get to look under the hood.

[@JessieThorne886]

Thanks for doing this review! How would you compare this to the Fairfield Circuitry Shallow Water?

[@nicholasrella2767]

Reminds me of the shallow water a little. Kind of like a more deluxe version. Thankfully I don’t feel like I need this one immediately. I’m saving up to send my pedals to college so I really need to slow down with the gear acquisition syndrome.

[@tomjepson2295]

I’ve not seen any pedals in a while that have made me go ‘Corr, I *need* that’. This, however...

[@tomiflyckt3831]

Has anyone tried this beast of a pedal with bass? I'm looking for a pedal capable to create a detuned, "vibratoish" lo-fi sound for ambient chords and melodies. This feels like a perfect match, but before purchasing the pedal I'd like to know how does the pedal perform on lower frequencies?

[@maks9589]

what video editing software do you use?

[@Piplodocus]

Guys serious question about knobs with his demos and his "dry" signal. Say when the pedal is off like at 2:28, is that a true dry signal and he just has a unique style of playing or does knobs run pre effects before showing of the pedal?

[@DK-qe6uo]

Sounds like a lot of looping dry guitar notes over top of notes which collide in a pretty way
