Old Blood Noise Endeavors - Dark Star Playthrough

[@guitarbassist95]

"This legitimately sounds like dying robots" - best marketing speech I've heard, I'm sold. I want one so bad.

[@koreyfyep]

+Kurkku KGB Hahaha! Thanks! I love that sound.

[@henrylaverty6313]

Dude thank you, this was the only demo I could find that didnt just let it oscillate the whole time, its now on my buy list thanks to your demo

[@NukeAllNoobs]

This pedal and the OBNE Procession. I can't get over how good they sound

[@barrybarry9714]

Sounds great - will add to birthday list

[@r.pneumo7337]

Best Dark Star demo on KZbin. It's a beautiful effect. I'll add it to my wishlist ;)

[@koreyfyep]

Holy shit, dude. Thank you.

[@mhustoles]

Best demo, thank you ! I`ve ordered already one. The sound journey starts soon . ;-)

[@alienboy2783]

How is it?

[@BobMaulucci]

I got mine last month and it quickly became my favorite pedal until I added the Strymon Volante. That’s created a toss up. Both are great! And great together!

[@geoffwhitemusic]

Holy crap, that distorted part at the end!

[@benhailey77]

this is seriously a disgustingly great demo. now I have to buy this. thanks for taking the time to do this man

[@koreyfyep]

+Ben Hailey Holy shit, dude. Thank you so much. That is to date the nicest thing anyone has said on one of my videos.

[@SergioDuFont]

I've been thinking of the octave up reverb sound in my head for the past week and now I know where to get it from. THANKS Old Blood Rule

[@koreyfyep]

+Sergio DuFont Hell yeah! That's awesome.

[@canids4401]

I've been listening to this video to help relax when I study. Awesome job! Your playing compliments the pedal perfectly. I'm definitely picking one of these up.

[@koreyfyep]

Damn, that's awesome. Thank you for sharing that. I had sold mine but they recently updated the line and they added an output trimpot on the inside so I'll definitely be getting another one very soon with that update!

[@canids4401]

No problem, you're a very skilled musician!

[@Forsvinne77]

Legendary playthrough...thanks.

[@ThePedalboardOrchestra]

that's an awesome pedal! great demo, thank you!

[@koreyfyep]

Hey, thanks for the kind words!

[@jelaienfinue]

You know that moment when you hear a pedal and it seems like it's coating your heart with warmth and magic? Yeah... Now where do I buy this? XD

[@schellbones109]

Great Demo, Thanks!

[@koreyfyep]

+Schellbones Glad you liked it!

[@the5chord]

Great Demo. I love Old Blood but sometimes I pull them off the board because they aren't stereo. Sometimes I'll fix that by running it through a neutralish hall setting on my Big Sky. Need the Haunt to complete the set.

[@koreyfyep]

Word, they are certainly nice. I need to pick up the Reflector and the Black Fountain. Those are my favorite. This would have been if it had a level control.

[@horizonontheroof]

Dude! how do you get that nasty dirt sound at 12:25, its amazing. Reminds me of Blut Aus Nord and i never can get that sound!

[@koreyfyep]

It's an Electronic Audio Experiments Model feT going into the DMM, then the Dark Star. Amazing combo.

[@horizonontheroof]

@@koreyfyep thanks ill look into that!

[@h3adcrabbio]

That's an extremely cool pedal. Wow. Nice playing too.

[@h3adcrabbio]

+DarrParrot Damn, the fully wet mix sounds absolutely incredible. Reminds me of the improv part to King Crimson's "Moonchild"

[@koreyfyep]

+DarrParrot Thanks man! Means a lot. It's definitely one of the cooler pedals I've had pass through my desk!

[@metalmeister3054]

I do love the ambient qualities of this pedal but will it not do a good job of replacing the tank reverb on my jcm 800 for a more subtle reverb with a overdrive channel?

[@koreyfyep]

Unfortunately I'm not confident on its abilities to be somewhat subtle. It's primarily a huge spacious reverb.

[@powbobs]

That’s not what it’s for.

[@ShaighJosephson]

Cool reverb pads...but unusable in stereo setups... ☹️

[@SisterRose]

run it in stereo with a sunlight lol (I am poor, i could never do that)

[@metarok22]

Best demo of this pedal I've seen so far! Could I use is also as a simple reverb just to wet my sound a little bit and to give it ab bit more room?

[@koreyfyep]

+metarok22 I think 6:52 is one of the tamest sounds I have in this demo. It doesn't really do a splash of reverb well. It is coined as a "Pad Reverb" so it's definitely more of a textural thing. Thanks though!!! That's high praise!

[@MegaBrebis]

Thank you. What's the use of the Hold switch? Does that mean you can play a chord, freeze it and play on top of it?

[@koreyfyep]

The wet signal will hold. So it won't freeze the entire signal. Just make the wet reverb bits hold while pressed down.

[@ThrashTilGrave]

is it me or the guitar signal comes first and then the reverb? why's that?

[@koreyfyep]

Well yeah, there is certainly some pre-delay. There are a lot of reverbs that have this to varying degrees. Some people are alright with it some people can't stand it.

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

+Korey FY!EP does this pedal always have the same pre delay or can it be removed?

[@koreyfyep]

Unfortunately there is no pre-delay control. Just something you have to live with. I've played better and worse in this department.

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

+Korey FY!EP does the procession have the same pre delay? does the procession sound smoother?

[@SinanAkiman]

thx for the vid.. very helpful.. did you prefer the pedal thru the fx loop or straight into the amp?

[@NewMozart]

Great demo. What's that song at 8:40 again?

[@koreyfyep]

+NewMozart That's actually one of mine. I thought hard about if I wanted to play it in a demo because I haven't recorded that song yet, but yeah. hahaha

[@NewMozart]

+Korey FY!EP great stuff! I really feel like I know the beginning from somewhere, but it's like that with a lot of great riffs.

[@dorielementary]

What is the difference between version 1 and version 2?

[@koreyfyep]

The biggest thing that sets them apart is that the Version 2 has an internal trimpot for output so you can tweak your output to taste. Something I really found to be a problem in this first one but love that it was resolved. I really like having a bit of a boost when I do close to 100% mix on reverbs.

[@dorielementary]

@@koreyfyep Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

[@giordanopagotto7940]

great demo! Can I use it simply as a freeze of the reverb if I turn off controls 1 and 2?

[@koreyfyep]

Thanks, and you know. I'm not sure. I don't have it right now but if I remember correctly, I'm not sure it'll just freeze out like that.

[@tlocking1]

Great demo! Did you ever pick up V2 of this pedal? Wondering if the improvements were noticeable.

[@koreyfyep]

I haven't yet unfortunately. I don't know if it was just chance or whatever but I know a few dudes that recently got custom color V2s that had issues. Honestly, the most compelling fix they did with the V2 is that there is an output trimpot inside and in my opinion that is crucial because you run into some weirdness with your output on some of the way gnarlier settings. I'll still eventually pick one up. I just have so much gear I've been trying to sort out and get for camera gear and guitar gear alike. hahaha

[@tlocking1]

Understandable haha. Yeah, from the reviews I've read it seems like it can be pretty fickle, but its unruliness is also a big part of its appeal for me. So long as its not unusable. Anyways, again, great demo and thanks for your input. It really is a damn cool pedal.

[@koreyfyep]

No problem. If I end up with an updated one soon there will be an updated demo quickly following. ha And thanks for the kind words.

[@Rogerthat144]

I would like to add that I also had a v2 with some issues... it seemed to have a grounding problem, as it added hum to my rig and touching the footswitches by hand reduced the hum. Talking about the footswitches, these did not seem very solid and on several occasions the bypass did not respond correctly. So in the end... I loved the pedal, but hated their quality control. Returned it, but kinda want something similar now. Might go check out the MOOD, as it combines OBNE effects with Chase Bliss build quality.

[@Doorya]

@@Rogerthat144 good to know. I heard somewhere else on the net about perceived quality issues.

[@DiamondLifer]

Should have demoed it along with an expression.

[@micheleallocca9366]

have someone tried this on bass?

[@DiamondLifer]

I have it on my board. It’s great. Especially when I pair with t with my Sky Fi or Afterneath.

[@Greglnt]

what was the fuzz pedal used in the beginning of the video? BTW, stellar demo!

[@koreyfyep]

+Philip Hernandes It was actually the Electronic Audio Experiments Model feT. It's a pedal that is designed around the topology of a Sunn Model T. Excellent pedal.

[@kiefdemon1979]

regretting not getting this

[@koreyfyep]

+Kief Demon I'm gonna regret trading it already! hahaha

[@kiefdemon1979]

+K. Bartos FYEP what did you trade it for?

[@koreyfyep]

Getting an El Cap.

[@kiefdemon1979]

+K. Bartos FYEP nice

[@koreyfyep]

+Kief Demon It was a tough call, but a good friend of mine really wants this and I really want to get an El Cap on my board. So we're shifting some stuff. I'll most likely buy another one of these soonish. My favorite pedal from OBNE so far.

[@IWantTo0wnMyLife]

Finally someone put dirt on it thank you! Just wanted to hear what that would sound like. It seems like they must not have intended it for that but it sounds sick!
