I think I'm addicted! ... To pedals

The Plasma pedal and the Light pedal has found their way into my studio! Gamechanger audio wanted to know how I felt about them and even though it took me some time to dive into it, I gotta say that these effect pedals comes in really handy for multiple use cases... Not just for guitarists.
Distortion and reverb can be used in so many different ways in a production environment. I prefer the more subtle settings on the Plasma pedal for some added saturation and tone and a the more creative, yet musical reverb settings on the Light pedal.
It's been a month since my last video and I wanted to share this before diving into more projects!
Exciting stuff are coming - Weekly livestreams on Tuesdays is just one of them.
Much love/ Acc

chase bliss generation loss mk2 , fairfield shallow water lofi , chase bliss mood , Walrus Audio Slöer Stereo Ambient Reverb Pedal all seem fire

[@AccurateBeats]

Yes! I actually have the generation loss mkII. I like it a lot but it’s a bit confusing sometimes with all the modes and stuff. I’m still learning. And browsing the second hand market like never before 😉

[@SonicVibe]

its a deep rabbit hole like synth's, i will do semi modular next maybe, but hopefully avoid full modular setups lol grooveboxes and pedals,synths good enough for me @@AccurateBeats

[@ZetaCarinae]

Oh man join the club. I got into pedals from synths, its such a rabbit hole.

[@obshaky]

your face talking about heavy metal is the same I do when Im told to pay the root canal I just got lol

[@WPFRSounds]

Yess bring on the Pedals! Love seeing them.

[@xxnovatitanxx326]

Dude I say go for it! I once saw a video of Ian from DjTechTools using pedals for live sets and I fell in love with them. It's a super unique way to do it plus all the different pedals provide an infinite amount of possibilities! Great video by the way, as always 😁

[@HUMZMIC1]

AWESOME VIDEO & welcome back from your vacation!!!

[@user-rr4rs3nt7y]

One of my fav's is Electro-Harmonix Ravish Sitar. Works well on pads and drones.

[@cresshead]

New a different approaches is cool, i added an Akai EWI Solo wind synth last month - just because "to get a sound" is so different. I have never had any wind instrument before.... whole new world to explore.. love how YOU are the ADSR.. so different.

[@AccurateBeats]

Wah! That's not on my radar at all but I'm intrigued by the thought of something like that now, haha!

[@Lorneplumber]

I will recommend hx stomp xl as probably the most useful pedal that has been release for anything

[@Epicfuzz]

I use a lot of pedals by Chase Bliss audio. They are fantastic and give you a unique sound

[@ot-mills]

Happened to me too..gained an addiction to pedals while working at Guitar Center years ago..have fun in the rabbit hole😂

[@AccurateBeats]

Ha! I guess I’m right in calling this an addiction!

[@ot-mills]

@@AccurateBeats Yes you are 100% correct!😂

[@indigosnow_]

Great timing, I just got the light pedal. Debating getting the plasma ones what with the sale

[@beatprocess]

I have a qy70 sequencer and a ultra nova synth. I love working outside the box.

[@AccurateBeats]

Ah! That one looks cool :) I'll look into it

[@carbonvibes]

Thanks for sharing Accurate! 🫡

[@simondanielssonmusic]

Nooooo we've lost him! Someone call an ambulance!!!

[@AccurateBeats]

Haha! We'll see... But used pedals are so inexpensive! (yeah... I hear myself)

[@badoedipus2551]

Yeah.. I’ve had my eye on that reverb for a while. I’ve been thinking about getting a real spring reverb for my guitar.. there’s not really a ton of options, and the game changer looked like the most interesting.. and to use with synths and stuff to. I’m off in synth land.. and believe it or not.. im finding cost effective approaches to modular. Teenage engineering just dropped their prices on there modular stuff again.. Behringer’s 2600, if you can hold your nose, offers a whole lot for not too much.. there’s definitely weird cool little things you can find. I’ve been eyeing second hand Stereo Fields recently.. and I’m thinking of doing an Elmyra 2 DIY kit. I’ve also been thinking about getting a field recorder and getting cheap sound design orientated microphones.. like contact mikes, telephone mikes.. etc.

[@FuZZbaLLbee]

Thought if I just get the Zoia pedal, I can just download the pedal type I want, but I am still checking out pedals.

[@AccurateBeats]

Yeah, I guess it’s not the same… Dedicated hardware is something special for sure. For better or worse.

[@MasaTheSlayer]

I would like to get some gamecahngeraudio gear, specially plasma and sustain, but those are way too expensive for my budget. Also could use 2 of both, so could have home and rehearsal room. Could use these with my bass/guitar on my bands and at home on beats.

[@AccurateBeats]

That sounds like a nice wishlist! I'm looking into all kinds of strange things now. Effect pedals is definitely a category that's worth looking into :D

[@MasaTheSlayer]

@@AccurateBeats For strange check Chase Bliss Audio and Earthquaker Devices. And Empress ZOIA.

[@cyborgchimpy]

awesome! I kinda wonder how long producers or just synth geeks have been playing with pedals. when I started playing guitar about 17 years ago, I had never heard of pedals being used for anything other than electric guitar. cool vid though

[@AccurateBeats]

I don’t know really but I’ve been curious about it for a while now. I know it’s not the most common thing for BeatMaker to get into but you know… whatever works 😀

[@TheCuri]

New camera or lense? Dude the quallity and lighting is on point

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks but nope… Same old stuff as before. I’m trying out new Luts though and I’m pretty happy with the look. Glad you noticed it!

[@scattystormborn]

I’ve built my first pedal board within the past 10 months.. and I’ve already swapped out every pedal at least once with something else. It’s a trap!! 😂

[@AccurateBeats]

Ah! Exactly what I’m afraid of! But it’s still a better trap than modular synths would be 😂

[@sunflr-music7697]

Hi, off-topic question please: What camera do you use to shoot your videos? Thanks!

[@JamesIsCommenting]

Wait until you discover modular / eurorack !

[@AccurateBeats]

Haha! Nope. People are trying to lure me into it but I refuse! (Don’t hold me to that)

[@frankensteezTV]

Can you explain how you are hooking it up meaning the connections into and out back into your mixer?

[@AccurateBeats]

I use a patchbay together with my audio interface that has the inputs and outputs pre-routed. This lets me connect a few patch cables between different patch points and that way send the audio from anything into anything else. That means I can leave all the devices connected to the patchbay and change the signal patch from the front of my rack. No need for a mixer or replacing cables on the actual devices. Not a solution I recommend for a small setup but it makes my setup flexible and effective

[@frankensteezTV]

What patchbay do you use? Looking to get a similar setup. Also which interface?

[@AccurateBeats]

@@frankensteezTV I have an "ART P48""patchbay. I chose it since its bot halfnormalled and fully normal depending on switches in the back. That's hooked up to my Universal Audio Apollo x8 audio interface which also is connected over dat to my Arturia Audofuse 8pre. Maybe an overkill setup but since I have a lot of gear with both in-and outputs it makes sense to me... Took a bit or work to set up initially but I think it's worth it!

[@Soulstice_Beats]

Why not just use an analog heat mk ii if your just running through drums? I get it for using on a synth .Not hating just a genuine question

"addited"?

[@ElGuatequero]

I don't like Plasma pedal at all. I think its a gimmick and I don't buy what they say it do, but even if its true, the results aren't good in my opinion, sounds like a bad Fuzz pedal. BUT the Light pedal is in other league, its incredible. Nobody cant find a reverb like this on the market. I would love if they made a stereo version.

[@AccurateBeats]

Oh? I think the more aggressive sounds the Plasma makes are way over the top for me but sometimes it can bring out the magic in a kick drum in a really unexpected way but I see what you mean! Yeah, the light pedal is definitely my favorite of the two. It’s musical I’m a way I’ve never experienced in a reverb before. Diving into pedals will be a fun ride!
