MAKING RETRO VIDEO GAME SOUNDTRACKS | Beetronics Swarm

[@shook9042]

Dude! That first turn of the Queen knob and your face made me laugh. I had to pause the video and order one just for that🤣

[@Brembelia]

It's amazing to me how RM can take any random sound thrown at him and turn it into music and song worthy. Pretty kewl.

[@JazzRadioFfm]

i like your kewl. reminds me of the olden days, when the internet was new and i went to skewl.

[@swissarmyknight4306]

@@JazzRadioFfm Shut up and eat your grewl.

[@simplesimon2960]

They're really commiting to the whole bee theme.

[@MrTimbodo]

Please play flight of the bumblebee with this

[@maxscardanelli6185]

This pedal sure sounds interesting... Those faces were particularly priceless!... 😂👌🏻

[@claudefasano8464]

7:17 the face of the "not understanding" :D

[@maximilien_4382]

7:17

[@ABCDEFR]

At around 13:10 the first thing that popped into my head was "I bet Megalovania would sound pretty thick and memey with these settings". Alas, we'll never know.

[@burythemdeepband]

Gotta love beetronics from our hometown in Van Nuys!

[@Boomsterblak]

Nice..mine showed up today..knocked out a power tube..lol..thing has some sting..as mentioned the look the build is Top Knotch...the tone has mucho mojo on the basic settings..funny the manual is one page and it's a picture..i think as Rabea facial contribution may apply it may bee beeyond explanation ..lol..so far I love it the fuzz tone is perfect..the added stuff will take some figuring out but it's not impossible ..lol..Hey I've been stung Thanks for this.

[@AdamGoodall91]

This video was worth it for the faces.........WOW!

[@mathewriffel503]

That was Wicked. I petition for Bea to do 8 bit toska albums or cover Video Game music with that.

[@ethanwelles]

You need an epi-pen nearby if you're gonna use this pedal.

[@andrewpappas9311]

That honestly sounds really freaking dope, and I love it

[@johnw5734]

That's the craziest pedal I've ever heard you play through. Yes, one of the first things that comes to mind is using it to create a signature open for a song.

[@carlhayms8882]

Bea... Making my neighbors think I own an alien species in my room since 2014.😅

[@gregmerritt9366]

The facial expressions are priceless.

[@rickfeith6372]

Imagine trying to play a show with a clean amp and ONLY this pedal? I forsee a bad time and a lot of puzzled faces

[@snorkygroovitz2207]

That pedal is crazy sounding plus the straight fuzz is nice and juicy. Very cool.

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

How Fun!!! Very creative design Beetronics.

[@beetronicsfx5811]

❤️🤘❤️🤘

[@TomMacalisang]

combine it with a Korg Miku! 😂

[@cortical1]

Ha ha! That face at 15:22 says it all.

[@vandernator2577]

well, the name is certainly fitting

[@rustyant]

I think Scott Holidays ears just pricked up... Those dives it was making from the 13:30 mark onward were mental!

[@ryansmurthwaite6974]

This is basically the MXR Blue Box on steroids

[@Thick44]

I love the look of shock at certain points 😂😂😂 great video!

[@jurgendieente4908]

like 'what the fuzz?!'😳😲 Also...hi Thick✌😁

[@garyheighway7635]

That pedal is a electronic Acid trip I love it!

[@mrblablablabla]

10:04 And that’s how this pedal got its name

[@gregantonowicz2818]

That pedal rules. Does remind me of earthquaker pedals. Teles and Fuzz is magical.

[@chrisegg7936]

having seen three or four demos of the swarm before i came to this one, i was still COMPLETELY unprepared for what happened at 6:15 😂

[@reecemurdoch2833]

I wonder how many of your fans watching this saw the cheeky hysteria bass riff going on? Sounds sweet though! Can't wait to see you in Toska at Download!

[@ShredShed]

Turns pedal on...sounds nothing like a tele. Love it ; )

[@galacticom]

next time someone asks you what you do for a living, just tell them you are a beekeeper. I ordered the swarm... wish my skill level was at yours, but I will make the most of it. thx for show casing this pedal...

[@xJaGG3d]

13:34 Adam Neely: Bass.

[@explosionmonty]

If your neighbors annoy you at some point, NOW you can FIGHT BACK with the swarm!!

[@jode_steele]

Awesome tune starter pedal! I need this for soundtrack work. 😯🤘🏻

[@RossHoekman]

Just got mine and it causes similar facial expressions when played with bass! ha ha Another great video, Rabea... Cheers!

[@paule6101]

"maybe we won't start there", ha :) love it

[@chedhead3278]

Cheers Bea, mad as a box of frogs that. Ace demo. :)

[@MrBiggordy]

I've just finished watching Josh from JHS pedals doing a '10 Most Weird Pedals' show, and this surely qualifies! What an amazing set of effects in one place - trouble is, if you write a song including this in the song, and you perform said song, where does the show go from there?! Do you continue with the 'weird' theme, or do you return to odd time signatures and clean baritone tones? Just a thought...

[@orcgoat]

Oooh, it's basically a pll like the data corruptor

[@qfz2112]

I want to hear you play flight of the bumblebee on that!

[@rocksully]

Does this pedal work best like traditional fuzzes, at the start of the chain, or would it sound the same later in the chain after the buffer?

[@blueojos]

Oh man, I have got to get one of these! Very Reignwolf!

[@dobby240]

That sounds fucking mad! Take my money!

[@MrMaffa96]

So basically its a different version of an earthquaker devices data corrupter

[@robertfoster8025]

But not as controllable as the Data Corrupter

[@cluecumber]

..which in turn is based on the old (late '90s?) unobtainable Schumann PLL

[@PageandPlant4Life]

Some things got too many options for some of us. I remember being psyched for my POG2 in high school and within a week traded it in for a micro pog

[@franciscorivera7795]

That pedal is from outer space 👽🤘

[@felinekaiju4517]

since I last watched this, I hadn't been into Muse. I heard a few Muse riffs in there, or Muse-ish stuff.

[@Kentuckyfriedginger]

10:56 😧 what the actual f**k 🤘🏻, dude come on that a amazing

[@timothymckane6362]

The sound reminds me of Earthquaker Devices Data Corrupter though this one is a lot small in size.

[@threetimz]

I Fucking Love It

[@shelbyman6372]

Did I detect a bit of Set Fire to the Hive there?;) May just be because I just listened to the Sound Awake album yesterday.

[@Psychograce93]

Has anyone made a video of all the Beetronics pedals daisy-chained and then flawlessly playing Flight of the Bumblebee? If not that would be a hit

[@Mr.SylverCox]

Yeah 8bit Hysteria XD !!!

[@ConnorBaxter]

Holy hell that thing looks and stunning killer! have you tried it through the kemper yet? would be interesting to see how it reacts with some profiles!

[@stevest3v3]

Appeared to play guitar/pedal without listening & adusting playing style to produce something that sounded good.

[@themattybags]

Really surprised nobodies made the connection to the EQQ Data Corrupter or Mantix Flex.... this is a cool pedal and i love beetronics but this isnt the first PLL, not even the first in recent years. Either way, great demo!

[@Mesatallic]

This sums up the video! @ 9:22 & @ 11:34

[@rexrackers7799]

I love the riff at 14:51, please make that a song.

[@SamiKarvinen]

*adjusts tie* Oh whew...

[@ChristopherOdd]

SK1PTER why are you here ;)

[@Schnubbi]

Wow alot of the stuff you played sounded just like Chipocrite. Seems like a fun pedal to play with but holy hell the price for such a novelty...

[@dantahoua]

Do not put that "Velcro Fuzz" in your hair bro!!!! ;) Nice demo!

[@TheCoronaMortis]

Notification P E E P S here!

[@tom_dilley]

🤘 hell yeh bro

[@burythemdeepband]

Yee 🤙

[@MSNGR415]

Just got one on a trade and said why not, let’s get weird

[@toomanywaystofall]

Do not mess with bees during angry hour...

[@SpectrumAudiophile]

Intro song? Been away from KZbin for a month or so.

[@Biffinnbridge]

Sting kin 🐝

[@bottleneck1100]

I can see why they call it ''swarm'' sounds like a tin can full of bees ! :')

[@Atibu]

Shut up and take my money !

[@rikmcrae]

The part around 12-13 minutes when it sounded like fuzz+POG was okay. The rest of it was... meh! You did a great job on the demo but it’s not for me I’m afraid. It is well named 👍

[@Jopeymessmusic]

Good god, that is a noisy boi. Very difficult pedal to control I'd imagine.

[@Rumbleman99]

I mean I'm a big fan but the fact that you didn't play flight of the bumblebees is somewhat disappointing...

[@Toraboramusic]

How would you use a sound like that in a live situation? What kinda band.. what genre? I personally think it sounds crap. Some of their other pedals are great. I own 2

[@RabeaMassaad]

I mean, I’d use this in a glitchy weird section of a tune where everything sounds a bit unhinged Or it could be an intro riff tone before it breaks into a fatter version, or could be a mid eight break tone for the same purpose etc. There’s a bunch of applications for these kinds of sounds in music. Bands wise a lot of alternative rock, prog rock, indie, heavier genres, less metal, think more out there guitar sounds. Like I think, Asymmetry Karnivool tones or fall of Troy or Mars Volta etc etc. Just weird and cool bands

[@Toraboramusic]

@@RabeaMassaad yes, I get your drift. I guess I was thinking of genres like rock, soul, blues, funk etc etc. I guess all sounds have a place somewhere in music - just not for the music im into Rabea. Ive got the Fat Bee and the Octahive - and I love em! Superb pedals; just not this one for me.

[@alexandre5882]

Annoying Noises Pedal

[@minisurfbanana]

I thought he demos pedals he likes 😂😂😂 Octahive so much more better. This pedal is like hmmmmmmm wtf $250 for video game noise?

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

electronic bees. don't sound good to me sorry,

[@Pughhead]

Probably the worst thing I have ever heard.

[@rickfeith6372]

Lol. I am not the biggest fuzz fan either, I actually kinda despise it...although, light fuzz into a dirty amp can sound AMAZING. Check the new Wetter Box video from Pete Thorn. Its also not the first time I've heard Pete use fuzz in a sick tone. Ya really gotta hear the Wetter demo though...just gorgeous

[@Pughhead]

@@rickfeith6372 I don't mind fuzz, but this pedal is just something else..

[@rickfeith6372]

It does sound appropriate at 12:28 if you didn't make it that far. Very 8 bit in a good way. Bea seemed to have gotten more of a handle on it from that point on IMO. Listen to the Wetter Box tone though...ridiculous transparent parallel fx loop pedal...I need one

[@spazemunky]

This sounds awful

[@sleepmachine7522]

@9:59 Found the bees! @10:04 “RELEASE THE BEES!”

[@iwannacuddleurbutt]

OMG that's amazing!
