Pladask Baklengs into Asheville Music Tools ACV-1 on keys and piano

Pladask and Asheville Music Tools have each explored their own distinct sonic territories and each sound like nothing else. Today I'm running Baklengs into ACV-1 and using an expression pedal on ACV-1 to make it weirder. Officially it is a chorus and vibrato, but I'm using it here to make drum sounds and a bunch of other duties. Baklengs is being used in a fairly gentle way here and still it adds so much character.

I waited all morning hoping you'd have a new video. It didn't disappoint.

Thank you so much! I'm working away on the next one for the Champion Leccy Skitzy which drops on the 23rd. 🥰

I need more AMT and Pladask in my life🥺

Beautiful sounds! That segment off the top kind of reminded me of some Les Baxter exotica type stuff! Two incredibly interesting pedals!

[@basementlyle]

Thanks man! Also thanks for the Les Baxter tip. I don't think I knew about him before. 😍

Expression with ACV-1 is the move! 🤩

[@basementlyle]

Hard agree! 🙌

baklengs is so good. I was on a fence if I should keep it along with Etterslep which also has a similar grains algo, but then I tried it in a separate parallel loop straight into Kaleidoscope reverb, both fully wet, and decided it's a keeper just because of this combo. The only downside is a lack of a tone control, especially for the upper octave mode.

[@basementlyle]

Oh I bet that sounds incredible! I wonder if there will be a tone control in a v2 of the pedal. It would be handy.

Nice one! What's the main sound input? A keyboard?

[@basementlyle]

Thanks! The keys are all VSTs from Teletone Audio. The first is Vespertone (in this case the vibraphone) and the second chunk is Postcard Piano by the same people. :)

@@basementlyle I love Postcard Piano!

[@basementlyle]

Me too! I'm saving up to get more of their stuff. Just so darn characterful. @@project_louder
