The Polymoon and Mercury7 are fabulous together--so versatile.

[@DaNocool2011]

This is the best channel on youtube... hands down.

[@JacobPadlock]

Christ all 3 of these sound unbelievably good.

[@Ariakiri_]

I'm pretty sure you could make a demo that would sell Metal Zones. Your ability to coax sounds out of pedals is unparalleled.

[@CakeHunter333]

Slunk Lord I didn't know I needed this demo, but now I do...

[@doggyaugie]

so good, as usual. please take us all on an exploration of the depths of (eventide) space next!

[@Gonko100]

Bye Strymon.

[@lvrbass]

I think you meant “Meris, By Strymon” lol

[@timothymckane6362]

Three pedals in one video? Thank you! Very much!

[@demoscenes]

What an awesome family! This was just amazing to listen to. Must get

[@beloyaraistov8007]

Alllll thhhese soooounds on the ONE PEDAL???? omg!!!! Totally amazing.

[@vernonreid4528]

Knobs is (are?) The Best KZbin Pedal Demo Channel. No Jokey “I’m Mr. Personality” Hosts! Clean. Direct to the Pedal.

[@JoyaLewisTheMusician]

wow your videos are so aesthetically pleasing and magical. It just amplifies my interest in synth sounds and guitar pedals.

[@johnetone]

How nice and unexpected to be treated to your take on the Meris goodies! Thank YOU!!!

[@brianreilly6545]

Wouldnt it b great if they labled what the alt function does under each knob? Having to remember funtions can get fustrating.

[@Usercehdbf]

It surely couldnt be that hard lol

[@Raku777]

Thanks for sharing. I was looking for info on the Polymoon for synths and found your video. Now I am also curious about the Mercury7. I like that you demo-ed the sound for both synths and guitar.

[@williammitchell6921]

Six string bass player here. I have the Polymoon. It's amazing.

[@ShallieDragon]

All three of those sound incredible!

[@emosaurusrex5024]

Howdy, @knobs ! Great work again!!! We love these. Oh geez, yay.

[@PedalboardoftheDay]

Dude , every, single , time. I'm sure you're gonna get a list of comments that are gonna praise you, and I will get lost in it. But dude, you're a legend, a class of your own. Honest question, what music are you listening to? I need the same inspirations.

[@Knobs]

Hey! Thank youuu. Try out: Dustin Wong, William Onyeabor, Haruomi Hosono, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma.

[@snugnug8439]

Saw Dustin Wong in Baltimore maybe about 8-9 years ago at this point opening up for another band called Small Black and in IMO he stole the show completely.

[@bluestone9726]

​@@Knobs​ Late to the party but new to the channel. Man I love Haroumi Hosono, Happy End, and most other things he's been involved with. You mentioning him is such a boost to me I just had to comment on it!

[@JM-od9zs]

Thanks for reminding me that I can't afford this glory of three pedals (but amazing video still!!!).

[@moyatsui5695]

this vid is so well made it distracted me from the pedals themselves

[@kimgaugemusic]

great demo - thanks for posting! I have the Mercury, and it really is a versatile reverb.

[@clemwest4536]

YOU’RE KILLING US BACK HERE, KNOBS

[@Deeplycloseted435]

Loving that Strymon and Eventide aren’t the only shows in town anymore. Liking the no screen, but still lots of functions from Meris and Empress. There are almost too many really great pedals now....it’s amazing what has happened just in the past year or two.

[@jonaseggen2230]

Meris. Probably the best pedals in that price range. At least the delay and reverb as the Ottobit is hard to compare. Much magic hidden under the hood of those vehicles.

[@BrandonLinderman]

I love the style you shoot, it's so original for these kind of videos. All that aside however, Echo the Dolphin can go strait to hell lolol

[@alessandroseravalle3807]

Got the ottobit...amazing!

[@schukin93]

thank you very much for such videos!

[@christoroppolo8742]

Very cool ! Peace Christo 🎶🎶🎶🎶✌🏻✌🏻👽👽🎶🎶🔦🔦🐕🐕👏🏻👏🏻🕺🕺🛸🛸👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏

[@lecmb]

I have the Polymoon and love it. I'm also very interested in the Ottobit, and have thought about trying the Mercury 7 alongside my Empress Reverb to compare. Would have loved to have seen a full demo for each of these pedals. Especially the Ottobit. Great demo as usual dude. 😊👍

[@brettrobertislaub]

Echo the dolphin, man that game was hard.

[@jameswilkins4motion]

That game haunts me to this fucking day

[@TheRagingPeen]

This is the best channel on youtube.

[@jacksprat3009]

Holy Cow! just when i had whittled my choices down to two reverbs, (Ventris Dual Engine Reverb and Strymon Big Sky - thinking Empress as a maybe) - now comes these three whatcha-m'callits and a presentation like no other. These three seem to be able to make a Volca FM sound almost like a Prophet 12 ( or Rev 2) which would be my next step if I can face the opinion of my sweetie when she learns the P12 (or Rev 2) is on the way.

[@mrblablablabla]

On rewatching this, I found myself wondering... How much random interesting things does Knobs have laying around in his... well, I assume he lives in a warm and cozy... nest...?

[@nickrocker123]

You need headphones to get the bliss! So good.

[@Mind_Idiot]

Real shouts out to those genesis games, absolute bangers every one.

[@underredskies2550]

Aaaaaaand I need them all

[@femtohimself71]

how can I configure these stereo meris pedals, with other pedals. most pedals just have mono in and out. if you use a split quarter inch cable (ring and tip separated) the signal will be cut in half right?

Mercury7 back on the wish list.

[@funkyfurballs1078]

Me too!

[@jonridley]

I got the Ottobit and use it with my synths combined with the el Capistan, still undecided on what to get on the reverb front.. big sky is probably still winning in my head because it has midi and stereo although I'm aware that the meris mercury has stereo too. The polymoon wounds wonderful too

[@EnterEscape]

totally worth the wait

[@Titantitan001]

Whats the synth level for? I feel like my synth works with all my pedals. Am I wrong in using s synth with them? Thank you for response if anyone does!!

[@Chamberswaang]

I want to know the same

[@krogwaugh]

Fantastic video as always Stefen. I was wondering if you would do a video introducing the world to your channel's crew?

[@Knobs]

I think you are confusing us with The Pedal Zone. And that is okay with me ;) No introduction video unfortunately, the shadows are better

[@krogwaugh]

Knobs lol, I love Knobs too! My video switched or something before I commented. Dern technology!

[@jetsaleet]

Probably won’t get a response (I’m a little late to this video) but how does the Polymoon sound in mono? I can’t run two amps due to space constraints. Thanks!

[@richiehinterland]

Does anyone know if the Mercury 7 has a true stereo input or does it sum both channels to mono before processing?

[@ijazzmunki]

I have one and you can set the input to mono or stereo via TRS

I have real actual love for you.

[@11thWonderCinema]

Would you ever do a video for the Malekko Ekko 616?

[@robruminski8302]

Gorgeous work as always. Quick question, though -- do you run your synths straight into the pedals or do you use a reamper?

[@Knobs]

The synths were run directly into the pedals, and then into a recording interface

[@robruminski8302]

Thank you!

Hey... new to your channel (also new to obsessing over guitar pedals -- with a focus on ambient, post-prog, and glitch stuff... Explosions in the Sky, Tycho, sigur rós, Múm, Hammock, Bent, etc.) Anyway, I'm looking to put together a pedalboard "on a budget" (ie. under $1000 USD), so I can basically get 3 (maybe 4... maybe I'll fudge that budget) of the following... Which 3 or 4 would be your priorities out of this list: Neunaber Immerse, Meris Polymoon, Earthquaker Avalanche Run, Earthquaker Disaster Transport Sr, EHX Deluxe Memory Man/Boy, EHX Stereo Memory Man, EHX Canyon, Infinite Jets, Red Panda Tensor, Dwarfcraft Grazer, Ottobit Jr. (basically, I want a delay + reverb + one or two special effects for glitch and/or chillout)

He would be Mr. Gnome

[@amphitheatre]

another vid with more of all 3 in the signal at once would not be seen as an indignity, sir.

[@wadewaggoner]

Im personally very sad that they do not include midi, great video!

[@mikestein8775]

The polymoon seems like its purpose is to prepackage the work that we do by cascading lots of effects to create a unique world of sound. It seems like the polymoon might streamline this process but I can’t tell if that’s a good thing. In other words, do you think the polymoon is versatile enough to contribute tastefully to an fx chain?

[@YannGuillermou]

1:43 i believe you mean "complementary"

[@YannGuillermou]

Other than that, great demos again, the music's too good: you are not making choice any easier!!!

[@Knobs]

I sure did

[@vitorcage]

Ottobit sounds like Tera Melos

[@PedalsFusion]
