MXR's next big leap forward! For decades, MXR has been the king of simplicity and rarely veers from their theme. With the Joshua Ambient Echo we saw an MXR ready to play in new waters and today LAYERS has arrived! What exactly is Layers? The product description calls in a "harmonic sustainer" and that's a pretty good way of putting it. But it's more than that...
MXR Layers can be a sample-and-hold pedal, a pad creator, a synth generator, a washed-out reverb, a noise maker, a drone creator, a soundscape generator...it swims in the seas of ambient guitar like nothing MXR has made before. It's a completely different animal!
But how the heck do you use it? Let me show you how!

The stereo field on this is super impressive! I really appreciated the simple playing aroun 16:00 with the hard panning to show the maximum ability of the effect! Annnnd the playing at 19:00 officially sold me on this. Putting it on the wish list now!

[@Arby82]

This thing sounds tremendous. I may have this sound already covered with the Chase Bliss Onward, but I have to try this one out anyway. 😄

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

I have both right now and will ABSOLUTELY try them together and post results

[@Arby82]

@@SeanPierceJohnson Looking forward to it!

[@stefpenfield5918]

Ooh, I like this one! Exactly up my alley!

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

Get on it! And use my affiliate link 😉

[@esmoroglu]

EHX SuperEgo on steroids!

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

I guess so. Never played the SuperEgo

[@dasczwo]

more like superego +. not unheared but different: superego does it with pitch dedectiomsynthesis… this is more delay/samplegranular based.

[@GrandCaravel]

That shirt looks like it was purchased when the Phantom Menace was still in theaters 🤣

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

What if I told you it wasn’t? 😆

[@Ryan-Hall]

SPJ, wonderfully Demoed!!! This thing is wild for Sure. And I agree a bit of a jump for MXR, but Times change as much as we want them to Stay in one Atea, but we get Left Behind in s way if we don't at least try and understand the Changes! God Bless Brother and see you in person when you come back around BEN COOMBS channel for a meet and greet always a pleasure my Music-In-Law Brother 🤘🎸🤠🙏🫡

[@Ryan-Hall]

Bro! Did you say that you did flip the inner switch to Stereo?? I know you said everything was going to be Stereo but I know you ain't supposed to show the inner world of a Pedal some times so just Asking? TY SPJ 🫂😎🤘

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

Yes, there’s a switch inside the pedal that you need to engage for stereo to work properly on the In and Out

[@johnsabourin4168]

Thanks for all the info 🤘

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

Glad it helps! Thanks for watching

[@Samana009]

It is basically a lesser version of the Superego+ from Electro-Harmonix. There is not a single new thing that had already been done, including from TC Electronics also.

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

Well, it’s new to me. Not a style of pedal I normally go for.

[@TheSecondNature]

​@@SeanPierceJohnsonSounds a bit clickbait-y like that though. Really nothing new. Not saying it doesn't sound good

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

What’s exactly sounds “click-baity”?

[@TheSecondNature]

​@@SeanPierceJohnsonfrom the title I was expecting something a bit more groundbreaking. There are clips of David Gilmour using a similar freeze effect in 2006 I think. But the pedal sounds good and the demo was great as usual

[@ERMAV]

@@TheSecondNaturemaybe you could play your guitar instead of complaining? Give it a try

[@aussieb1416]

Pretty interesting. I think there is a band here where i live using it for sure. Makes me want to do a weird version of 'Getting away with it' by James but just a heapsa heavier. They ain't cheap so I probably will be a heaps poorer very soon.

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

Haha 😂 well I suppose if it fuels creativity that’s what matters

[@Kazwell111]

These instructions give me a headache. Cheers to the host for fathoming this pedal, obviously a smart guy. I need to keep away ouch.

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

It’s actually pretty easy once you have the pedal in hand.

[@dasczwo]

BRAVO MXR! pedal is fun (can the panning go slower?) but: TRS in and out should be standard for any dsp based pedals. make it mono when i plug mono. wake up its 2024! i need dual mono out ONCE: at the end of my board. this merisstrymoneventidehologram trs in and dual mono out is CRAZY! your just lazy dev guys. tonex one has it. gigrig wetter box too. been pestering devs at superbooth and elsewere for years… phone jacks from the 1900s… would be great to have 3,5m ins too. comparible with modular level. merge the worlds!

[@dasczwo]

and please mxr: you dont have to bump up the price by a 100 just cause it says or does ambient… its just another dumb dsp running a plugin with couple of pots. ik did it with tonex, pigtronix with their new blue reverb(modulates size, no one ever did that) below 200€. i aint buyin, xcept for used. i can wait, microcosm and habit are good to me.
