When I grow up I also want a magic shelf that holds all the effects pedals that ever existed and I can just pull out the one that I need.

"Stinky synth" was my nickname in highschool

Lmfaoooo

The Motor Synth is such a fascinating device. Not the cheapest thing out there to say the least but fascinating. Love the industrial vibes on the last track but the bubbly one is also very nice.

[@JonathanMartinez-ei4up]

I’m glad you’re feeling better. I always like seeing the tamagotchi style v-pets pop up in different places over the years. I’ve seen a car radio with a tamagotchi incorporated into it, but I think that was a custom job and not so much a mass produced product. My favorite part though, was you mixing the Motor Synth with Rubber Ducks. “Gears of Ducks”.

[@c.n.crowther438]

I love your Custom Neon Sign

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks so much!

Not often I come across a channel that's genuinely super cool, good shit

[@SlyHikari03]

This is peak music gear, nothing can top this. And the tamagochi is made by the same brand that made the Amaterasu treble boost (GroundControlAudio). Good stuff Ps. Love the Zelda music in the unboxing,

[@soveriegn777]

HECKYEAH RETURN OF THE OK HOUSECAT CAT KEYBOARD (that is certainly "not" haunted in any way 👀)

[@emilyharpist]

It’s so great!

[@revmutt]

Happy to see you guys having fun on the channel again. Welcome home you were both missed.

[@crimsonfancy]

I find your vids in my YT suggestions thing lately and have been enjoying them. All the pedals you show I appreciate learning of and your harp skills a great bonus. This vid especially I have a friend to share to because we were just looking at the Cheshire kitty keyboard (1:40) for his son at Amazon this weekend.

[@nightnoodler812]

I love the Cat keyboard. Meow Meow, hahah ❤💙🤍😻

[@countrygeneral]

It is so insane for me how far we've come in terms of musical gear and tech. I knew that there are a lot of strange and gimmicky pedals, drum machines and synths, but it took me seeing your collection and hearing songs you make to realise and process how numerous and different they all are. And the fact that you can make actual beautiful music with them and not just some random goofy ass meme type of song. Its insane. Edit: finished the video, God damn the last piece was beautiful.

[@user-zx8sp4dc8u]

Finally new videooooo Btw I have a question , where are all the game soundtracks that you've made ??? Like the secret sauce episode ones

[@PocketOperatorGuy]

Such a gamble when it comes to second hand instruments. Smoke smells and electronics..... Such a pain in the ass to clean. Those game soundtracks are killer though!

[@woodreauxwoodreaux6298]

Your factory track is giving me the Factorio itch.

[@DjDoggDad]

I just got my first synth that came from what I assume is some sort of smokers club. I had to wrap it up in a bag and can't even use it because it makes the entire area smell like cigarettes. It made me realize why people list as 'from smoke free home'

[@willtheham1]

Dear Ishowemily, This video has changed my life. Thank you for this video!

I love these videos! Your music is awesome and I learn so many things as i know nothing about music

Thanks so much! Quarkimo is SO GOOD

[@nayal4327]

We never have enough of cats, keyboards, pedals and amazing tunes from Emily. Thank you 💜

[@unsoundmethodology]

I still have that DS10 cartridge and a working DS, and I got Korg Gadget for the Switch a while back. Fun stuff!

[@lancecluster]

The amount of time and effort you put into a video like this is amazing.

[@soveriegn777]

They really nail it!

[@th0tp0lice666]

if you close your eyes for the first song, it feels like an adventure time title card.

You're reminding me that I want to play with my motor synth more. uWu

It’s so much fun! Honestly I could stare at the motors forever haha

I love seeing all the wonderful compositions you make with these crazy devices lol. Genius! Keep up the great work!

[@insert_moniker]

I wish I had enough pedals to where I had to stand on a chair to reach the one I wanted😭 Great video! The weird music gear themed ones are my favorite.

[@GarethHarpist]

The underwater one was definitely my favourite. The reversing effect somehow reminded me of when you're standing in the shallow end of a pool and look down at your refracted short legs distorted by the waves on the surface. Diolch am y gerddoriaeth / Thanks for the music!

[@Ryan-Hall]

Some really Cool Sythns and drum samples , and the Duck 🦆 Tubb is 4 sure Cool 😎👍🌸❤️🤠

Oh snap! You should've slapped the light pedal every time the player shot someone!🤣 That was fun.

[@soveriegn777]

[@davel7507]

Those are cool devices. Welcome back.

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks so much!

[@noyd4172]

The fact that you subtly lit a candle in the background after opening the stinky synth is storytelling at it's finest. (and then you immediately hit us with a cat version of Spiritualized). And what if there's an underwater game where you play an actual fish who actually lives in the ocean? Groundbreaking. ... I miss RadioShack.

[@mrmooney25]

I just play banjo but every time I see mechanical synths like the motor synth I have to stop myself from making a poor financial decision.

[@mudpie.creator]

The nyan cat sample was SOOO Adventure Time. Love it!

[@sosmanoriginal7048]

I like how you’re somehow finding the most interesting pedals out there, that’s awesome, keep it up!

[@erikkorhonen]

"oh that's a thick boy" lol

[@jhspedals]

oh no ... not the stinky synth ......

[@Black25284]

I never seen this Pendel in my life and also i like this video its interesting.

[@AJ-wh1tw]

Ok, so I absolutely stopped this video 3 minutes in so that I could go preorder the UwU pedal😂 I needed to add a buffer anyway, but now I have a buddy that will keep me on my practice schedule❤ Thank you for your amazing videos, these are my favorite gear focused videos. Always leaves me inspired to get into the weeds of sound and music.

[@A-D-D-F_Toxic]

This is exactly how I clean my pedals. Works best with grapefruit soap, I find.

[@TimothyStormAcker]

"you and me baby ain't nothing but mallards"📧💌🎵🎶🎼

[@framebox1731]

Came for the free pedal, stayed for the content. Also, Motor Synth MKII is just wild all around. Don't mess with synths a lot, but the N64 vibes are too good.

[@JosephKang]

OMG. I still have my original (Phat) NDS and the Korg DS-1 cartridge! Awesome job finding that one.

[@flailingcamper3666]

The stress relief candle after playing the game lol

[@lucymorrison]

i had that nyan cat brainrot so hard as a kid thanks for reminding me lol

[@caseykoons]

Your last song SLAPS! I want that track!

[@DrKeese]

This is exactly how I clean my pedals. 😂 when I clean old consoles I sometimes have to do this to the shells only, Surprising how well it works.

[@cahvisoil]

In the underwater games you can be a fish and don't worry at all

[@emilyharpist]

We need more games where you play as a fish

[@Beardqt]

I'm so glad Housecat makes a showcase in these videos cause I'm obsessed with their shop

I was thinking you were going to have turn the motor synth on like a lawn mower.

[@patrickmcelligott5646]

And i have a lot of fun watching. Plus, the added bonus of actually having you screen pedals, so i know where to spend my money🤣🙏

[@CatFish107]

Pssst, I'ma give yah some engagemometrics boost. I wanted to say, I was reading a forum, and had loscil's layest track playing on bandcamp. That finished, and a couple tracks from secret sawce started autoplaying. At some point, I thought "Hey, that's some lovely sounds, who is that?" Oh it's Emily! Thanks for the pleasant surprise.

[@jeffwigle9154]

I would love to hear a cover with cat effects dark horse by catty perry

[@WinterWindsSummerShowers]

Holy mackerel. ☀️

[@DeadWhiteButterflies]

btw, I hope you return to live streams soon, because I do miss being silly with everyone on there.

[@SarisChannel18]

Using customized software effect chains would be less a hassle than using hardware. Creating from zero point/death gives you more control over sound. Minimize all bunk sounds out.

[@emilyharpist]

The difference is pretty negligible! I also like the tactile nature of the hardware. Some of the software algorithms aren’t nearly as good or intuitive as the hardware, but I love using software when it makes sense for me to!

[@nickkohlmann]

That was a wonderful video. The UWUs have blessed my day just as much xd

[@Bkoded]

i saw the a demo of the motor synth thingy in my recommended like a week or so ago and if it werent 4 digits id love to play with one, theyre such a cool concept, kind reminds me of those japanese guys that have the fan and tv guitar that uses a similar technology (i think)

[@aaronl3460]

Hilarious, charming and cool as always. Also top tier Em rant about NAMM lmao uwu Also you can turn off the O2 meter in Subnautica if you play creative mode 😊 in case you want to try it
