Malekko Sneak Attack

[@lookingjust987654321]

Andy is the only guy on youtube that both has access to all the new effects and then gets what they are for. A true music aficionado. Thank the gods!

[@CarlosFromPhilly]

I wish he had his own channel, his demos always do the best job conveying the ground a pedal covers without being too long or wordy.

[@LeviBulger]

The Metro sold me on this. Andy has a seriously good palette of musical tastes, I would never have expected a Berlin song in a pedal demo.

[@MarkArnold92660]

Andy's high as f***

[@pereztube2]

nah

[@MarkArnold92660]

lmao, i know he's not but you can't tell me that look at .33 seconds isn't something you've seen before. i love Andy and especially when he gets into it...

[@rb264ag]

seems to be more apparent when you play the video at 0.5 speed

[@ebenezershabazz4793]

@rb264ag especially when he starts talking lol....

[@paulboyer6638]

You never cease to amaze me with the musicality you bring to all of the differing effects that you demo.

[@BenFairbank]

I don't get the one trick pony comments. This has way more versatility than most stand alone pedals. At the least its like a slow gear a term and a volume pedal combined with a shitload more control over waveform. At least it's not another TS clone or Klone

[@bonitabromeliads]

Tremolo is one trick pony. This thing is a many trick pony, including basic trem.

[@michaelhudson1524]

If you can get it to work !?! Maybe mines broken? Used on Reverb .. can’t get those sounds

[@thenoizeniche1727]

They've come up with the sickest stuff recently and I think it totally helps that not only are they super creative, they're diving into modular synth stuff and those tools can bleed over into the guitar playing realm for some really interesting sounds. Great job as usual Andy. Sick demo.

[@andrewcarter5531]

Good to see you took this for a ride on the metro.

[@HouseofChains81]

I don't get the "one trick pony" comments. Any pedal that is only one thing like reverb, delay, etc only do one thing but in different ways. Just like this pedal.

[@Topsy_Krett]

The Metro... haha, loved it

[@JohnDoe-dh8xc]

I can see many possiblities for this. Those calling it a one trick pony lack creativity

[@MTLeadSlanger]

Intro is definitely "Cathedral" inspired. Love it!

[@SlavSquatSenpai]

Now this is a solid swell pedal. I'll be finding one on my board some time soon.

[@dosgatos5006]

Andy used Sneak Attack - it was super effective!

[@edadpops1709]

Very unique pedal,and in the hands of a creative music mind,very cool.

[@DogPoool]

Fantastic! I love this pedal

[@circlecloud11]

Andy is just so freeekin good!

[@brndgtl]

Nice work Andy!!

[@ThisIsReadyMade]

You know it's gonna be a good demo when Van Halen's "Cathedral" is the intro song.

[@HBSuccess]

Love it! Something truely different::-)

[@davidarchibald3755]

Thanks for your in depth and inspired demo

[@muzjikstb]

Man, I just bought Mooer slow engine...and now this with so many more features.

[@Myxzlpyxzl]

Same here... :S

[@JohnDoe-dh8xc]

Same here buddy, and my slow engine hasn't even arrived

[@elephantricity]

Boss Slow Gear on steroids?

[@Funbia]

At least someone improved the concept of the pigtronix Philosopher king compressor.

[@60CycleHumcast]

hot damn!

[@gloryxkid]

I think you’d love one of these Ryan, very interesting pedal!

[@arrangearrange]

Pretty convinced this is OP to the attack decay, slow gear, and anything else.

[@Pandamasque]

At last an alternative to the Philosopher King.

[@Rendell05]

Sounds like a budget Moog MuRF. Nothing wrong there! Definitely not a Trem sub but certainly a sweet toy.

[@wgb01001]

I was so expecting Andy to break into "Dancing In The Street" when the drums kicked-in following "Cathedral." Anyone expecting that or just me?

[@brandonumagat]

I thought he was playing Cathedral by Van Halen in the beginning...

[@harrysouter2304]

He was :)

[@downwithdixie]

and now Hermans did the other half of the song in part 2 of this demo :)

[@ASquared007]

'The Edge' approved pedal.

[@No-mart]

That's enough reason for me not to get it ewww

[@TheJofrica]

Sounds like a violin in the intro, crazy!

[@BillKilmerslayer]

Is Andy GOD? Yes. Andy is GOD. God of Taste and Technique.

[@stanlindert6332]

That bit at 3:25 or so was so sweet

[@Disharmonikash]

Malekko is the sort of company that has the right ideas (the most important thing - new ideas!), the right approach and design, their pedals are easy enough to operate and still there's that little something that's in the lacking, usability-wise, that they are still to crack. This is where EHX shines. I've been a fan of Malekko for years but never bought any of their pedals. I hope that will change in the future.

[@HenrySchecker]

I have the Malekko Omnicron Chorus. it only has two knobs, but I'm powering it with the optional 18v instead of 12v and it is the lushest shimmering chorus pedal I've ever used, and I still have an EHX small clone. Plus the pedal is smaller than the small clone so I was able to add a TC electronic flashback to my board.

[@SlavSquatSenpai]

EHX has nothing on this pedal. It's a solid swell pedal with more extra's that it doesn't even need. If you think they're lacking in something, then what is it?

[@gearzilla4112]

This is trippy as shit, I wanna be in a band w you,Andy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@flammingcarrot]

What sorcery is this?

[@9642SM7]

is there a reason we haven't seen Andy touring with some international act yet? would miss his perfect demos but come on !!!

[@guitarvideos777]

RIGHT ON for the Berlin. Nobody does that!!

[@dkbarnwell]

Where does this pedal go in the pedal chain to sound the best? First? Last? Middle?

[@juliusmillermusic]

Came to hear andy play

[@BillKilmerslayer]

Was that Berlin?!?!

[@LeviBulger]

Bill Kilmer It was! Thank you, I knew I recognized it but couldn't remember who sang it. Riding on the metro oooooo oooh!

[@vhcxhbvg]

I love this guy

[@skatertrev7]

Cue: Van Halen's 'Dancing in the Streets'

[@Malady]

4:13 to 5:03 riff from The Metro by Berlin

[@xavierortiz4410]

l thought that sounded 80's and familiar

[@CT68]

Yeah, took me a longer than I thought it would to recognize it. Never would have expected to hear that song on a guitar pedal demo, but Andy has surprised me before.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

Iron Maiden tribute bands would be all over that pedal to play "Moon child" live.

[@alexbreyer6921]

Wow, what a cool pedal. Anything similar to this? Just curious for comparison.

[@rodrigofrancisco4038]

S.E.C.O.N.D

[@alexisalescio1562]

wow!!very cool

[@MASSIVExMONK3Y]

That's awesome

[@DanSZiegler]

Whoa! COOL! :-D

[@mikec6733]

It just dawned on me that one could use Tremelo instead of a metronome for practicing.

[@muzjikstb]

Where should something like this or the Slow Engine go in the chain? I would think at the same point as a volume pedal...either the beginning or the end depending on your goal?

[@harrysouter2304]

Definitely after distortion , but before delays and reverbs . After everything else , and if you're using a gain amp , put it in the loop

[@dwightpeters]

Depends on what effect you want. If you want swells, put it before gain just like a volume pedal.

[@samharding8772]

Hey Andy! In the intro was the delay before or after the sneak attack in the signal chain? thanks

[@TheNohcim]

Isaac Hayes- Walk On By.... that is all.

[@profd65]

I like it.

[@mburolla]

Is this pedal true bypass? I've googled around, but don't see any mention of the bypass circuit.

[@BuildYourOwnBass]

I can confirm this pedal is true bypass. it uses a logic controlled relay bypass.

[@arthurbehrman5130]

PGS. Have you played it with bass? Any reason they wouldn't work together?

[@happygoloopyrocks]

They use it in the intro

[@EAveryGtrBass]

I don't need a keyboard player!

[@RockinReeseBoyd]

Cathedral by EVH in the beginning? :)

[@jupjuck]

ohhhh can it do transient designing? (enhance attack)

[@geoffwhitemusic]

What's the tune at 2:47? Great stuff there.

[@mikevirok]

Did you run the Sloikka into this or after it?

sounds just like a synthesizer 4:08

[@StopMoColorado]

Ryan adams - With the Waveform options, it basically is!

[@LeviBulger]

Listen to the metro by berlin

[@RussArteaga]

I'm alone, sitting with my broken glass...

[@teriakamoto]

I thought that was very Led Zeppelin at the end with your magic Les Paul.

[@No-mart]

I've had 3 Malekko pedals but though they sounded good, I had to sell all three as they had more tone suck than any other brand pedals I've bought. Pity

[@jspartacus]

Should've done "The Pirate Song" by Dweezil Zappa.

[@nhguitar97]

First song???

[@giantbabywolf1971]

Blues Saraceno

[@DrewDawkins]

Curse you, Andy!!! My wallet can't take this abuse.

[@TheGuitarBling]

If that had bpm control...

[@rybakryoshi1443]

it has tap tempo

[@TheGuitarBling]

True. I just like the certainty of being able to dial in the bpm. Assuming the band is playing to a click, it's so locked in.

[@rybakryoshi1443]

you just need to tap the bpm of the song with your feet

[@TheGuitarBling]

Okay. Apparently my comment needs more explanation. I'm basing my comment on my experience playing with very rhythmic U2ish delays and playing at church (we always use a click). I used to just use a tap tempo and I felt like that was good enough. Than a friend suggested I put in the bpm (I was using a dd-20 so that was no problem). It changed my life. No matter how much I tapped the tempo I couldn't get it as locked in as I could if I can put in the bpm. It's another level. Now I can't go back. If I'm playing with a band that isn't using a click then tap tempo is fine, but if there's a click track (for me 90% of the time there is), than there is nothing like being able to dial in the bpm. Hope that explains where I'm coming from.

[@Killian_Courtney]

F.I.R.S.T.!

[@LevittownDirtBag]

Just bought an EHX Super Pulsar - way more versatile and stereo in/out, sorry Melekko as the other comments point out this is a one trick pony - of course Andy makes everything sound cool

[@leondomado07]

so Pink Floyd....

[@the5chord]

Andy makes it sound good but kind of a one trick pony

[@MrDonc78]

he's getting a lot of sounds out of this in the same manner you would with any single effector pedal... tap tremolo and auto swell are two different effects, so that's a two trick pony already 😂

[@SpartanLaserCanon]

Damn man, people need to find better guitarists for pedal demos

[@Quicksilver_Cookie]

I guess you can get creative with it, but it's still very much much a one trick pony. The name is pretty clever though :)

[@Molnboman]

Sorry, but this is a very poor demo of this pedal. I should know, I own one and I love it! 😜

[@accurtis2763]

Allan Harvey at least quantify your dissatisfaction. explain.

[@SarahEHowson]

Since you own/ed the pedal, I was wondering if it HAS to use the Lil Buddy or if it can use any TRS expression tap tempo. :)
