I Made A Pedal That Sequences Nothing

[@RodlundSound]

4' 33" never went so hard

Four feet, thirty-three inches

[@LoveMeBack]

A fancy trance gate. I love it!

[@geraldfriend256]

Love that it is 5 step. Takes you out of 3/4 and 4/4 monotony. Ups the weird factor to 11.

[@lanedj801]

This is pure genius my friend! You are the best brain for pedal innovation.

[@gummybrad]

i'm two minutes into the video and I've already sent this to some of my mates, this idea is actually so cool

[@zacharyevans8660]

Lo-fi version of Boss Slicer + distortion! I love it!

[@iosifkalpaktsoglou2045]

Stutter is my favorite thing. That's an answer to my prayers. Well done Simon.

[@TrinityCodex]

simon: inventor of silence!

[@AndreijRublev]

Lovely idea! Turning silence into an effect with such cool results is great. And the 5 steps are very nice for polymetric stuff!

[@gpoop23]

"I like going very fast because... I'm Sonic?" My laugh at this moment crescendoed over like a full 30 seconds, at least.

[@kade4040]

Oh man hell yeah. Ive had a slicer and im currently running an eqd hummingbird but this is what ive really been chasing. Legend

[@StephenMcLeod]

such a cool original idea. Nice one.

[@edgeeffect]

I used to use modulation effects and LFO gating through my synth to get good rhythms out of my guitar even though I utterly stink as a guitarist.... this takes those ideas a stage even further... nice!

[@danielleohallisey4218]

I love that you’re so proud of your own workmanship! Truly a lovely soldering job!!

[@kevingriffin8854]

Extreme Super deluxe version where each "step" could have a different modulation option. 1=tremolo 2=flanger 3=stock silencer option etc.

[@tungtobak]

The only other pedal that I can think of that delved into this type of stuff is the Zvex Super Seek Tremolo.

[@notinsane4165]

It's becomes extra tonal so quickly which is pretty damn cool ngl

[@lanedj801]

There is a boss pedal called a slicer and it was soo cool I’ve often wondered why slicer pedals aren’t more prevalent.

[@kantina4765]

if you're wanting a slicer for cheap a second hand zoom ms50g does a pretty good job

[@shawnlennon1947]

@@kantina4765 I really like zooms cheap multifx pedals. really good for the money !

[@kantina4765]

@@shawnlennon1947 sometimes I feel like they should pay me with how often I recommend those things, so many great sounds for so little money.

[@finngibson7431]

This is the most original pedal I've seen for a looong time

[@_B.C_]

That’s a really cool pedal idea. Would love to see this taken a few steps further to 8 or 16 steps and midi in for clock.

[@CasioChaosTheory]

It's just waiting to be used to do a cover version of Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence "! 😁

[@melokit-music]

Absolutely genius ❤

[@TimSamoff]

This is so cool.

[@RND_ADV_X]

This is very cool. I will say it's kind of similar to some of the features of the Slicer? I actually made a multi-line and/or momentary switch pedal for this exact reason, but I didn't think to add a sequencer to it! I like your version enough that I'm tempted to get one!

[@kylesilver844]

Yeah, but it’s cooler then the slicer because you don’t have to use the set patterns/sequences. Creating your own is both more personal and, if you are running a loop into Simon’s pedal, you can alter the sequence/pattern on the fly and play this like an instrument. I think that makes it more useful.

[@renegadethesandwing02050]

ok now i wanna see some music made entirely of pure sine waves turning on and off like if the amplitude was 10 or 0 if that makes any sense or if it would even work

[@Madchris8828]

If you turn the speed up a bunch it sorta sounds pretty fuzzy? This thing is wacky and cool. Feel like 60 cycle hum might like this 😂

[@genericusername5909]

I didn’t expect that I’d kind of want this

[@lordsqueak]

Finally a pedal for playing 4'33

[@jamescarlsmith710]

It took me forever to realise that you kinda look like Ali-G. Also this is my favourite pedal you've made so far, kinda reminds me of Ableton's Warping workflow - it also can behave like a gate of sorts - but this pedal is next level. I'm counting the days until I can get this and Bubbles

[@baphomet1313]

Brilliant

[@levimcgillis6339]

6:03 is one of them real beats

[@GerinoMorn]

Ah, the instant dubstep pedal

[@snoballuk]

Is that a Casio DM-100 in the background? And if so will it appear in a video?

[@SimonTheMagpie]

Indeed and double indeed 😄

[@geraldfriend256]

Yo Casiocore where my tribe at?

[@Lutzifer31337]

"i like going very fast, because ... i 'm ... Sonic" XD

[@zlotan666]

Hey simon you shuld add an imput to reverse the sequence! Cheers!

[@ShawnTewes]

How enlightening. It's like looking up at not just the stars, but the spaces in between them.

[@jmalmsten]

So it's a.. uhm .. subtractive sequencer? Now that is thinking outside the box. :P

[@gregoryhaddock5395]

So like an anti tremolo?

What if you ram vocals through that pedal!! 🤯🤯

[@kylesilver844]

Is it possible to also use this pedal just as a fuzz?

[@SimonTheMagpie]

Hey did you email? Was sitting down to answer stuff here in a minute and saw same question 😄 Answer is no. Didnt consider that as a function since I was stuck in enjoying the pattern aspect so much. Not sure if I could tweak it right away to be able to do that. Maybe for a v.2. Not sure where I could fit a pot though, haha.

[@kylesilver844]

@@SimonTheMagpie yes, I was the one that sent the email. I wasn’t sure if the email went through so thought I would post here. Instead of another pot, could you add a zero value to the knob controlling the number of steps in the sequence? This would effectively turn off the sequencer and implicitly suggest the user only wants the fuzz. The reason this would be valuable (to me) is because I have very limited space on my pedal board. Pedals with multiple functions are always appreciated. Plus it’s a very cool sounding fuzz on its own. Just an idea/suggestion. Btw Your pedals and videos are so unique! Keep up the amazing work!

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

_Very_ cool.

[@onerxowns2202]

It might be called "musical fountain" cause it restrict flow in creative ways

[@starshiptexas]

analog grossbeat

[@CrocTV42]

Youve basicly made analog gross beat

[@DetroitMicroSound]

Smaller than micro sound.....no sound.

[@SloJoFonik]

Why not just be honest about where you got the idea?

[@ВанечкаЗвезда]

Wym?

You mean Zvex I assume?
