Plugins VS Pedals - Which Is Better?

[@FlexXx_x_x]

Thank you for all your knowledge!! I’ve been watching your videos since last night! Im not going to produce another beat until I feel I’ve gathered the knowledge from you to revive the dynamics and tones that truly make music different!

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Oh no! Don't stop! Start integrating new ideas now! Not to mention I have more on the way...

[@jason_andropolis]

I REALLY need to get that Yamaha unit, that sounded absolutely amazing! Also for anyone interested a really good free chorus plugin that I personally love is the Kilohearts Chorus in their essentials bundle. It does the 80's tri-chorus thing really well and it's super easy to use :)

[@vikramjitbanerjeetuki]

Wow I never thought I'd find another fellow musician who would be a chorus junkie like me,i have a solid stash of chorus pedals and my CE2 works, i have a CE3 too,great video 👍 Valhalla space modulator really sounded good, check out the Digitech Multi chorus it's like all the chorus pedals you loved all in 1 pedal 😊 The ASDC GNI pedal sounded the best to my ears with the Yamaha a close second place😊

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Thanks! I'll check out that Digitech.

The master at work ;) Miss you, Billy Doom.

Hey mate! Just found your channel and I really loved your content. Keep posting. Cheers from Brazil!

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Thanks so much!

[@TheMixClub]

This was great. For me the SPX is gold. I did not like the dytronics and i thought I would. I love the TAL, and the Roland has a special place in my heat.. Good stuff

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Thanks! That TAL plugin IS going to get used.

[@q-miiproductions878]

I’m pretty much completely dependent on software due to me not yet having the finances to spend on actual effect pedals. I love making harsh noise, so the only hardware I have are 2 USB interfaces, a sampler groovebox, 2 analog mixers, and a ton of cables.

[@JohnTurner61]

since moving to plugin-land I've been surprised that I keep returning to the Roland Dimension D, even though it's not very tweakable - the limited presets just sound great - I tend to use the Arturia emulation, but UAD also has one, as well as Overloud Gem and probably others - anyway, would be cool to compare one of those to your top contenders if you get a chance

Pedals are so fun to own in my opinion. love the designs and such. If I had the space I would definitely get more. But it's plug ins from here on for me bc I already have enough and yea. dope video tho. def gonna subscribe

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Thanks! I think I've been moving in the opposite direction lately since I started playing guitar in a band again. I've been all about plugins but getting back into pedals has been a lot of fun. Thanks for the subscription!

[@bontempo1271]

The same ones you reacted to the most are the same ones i liked the most. Neunaber pedal, Yamaha Symphonic, and Magic Switch. Would love to hear a distortion pedal comparion with software, that's something where plugins tend to fall flat

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Thanks! I was thinking about the distortion comparisons too.

[@shannonokeefe922]

Sounds amazing!

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Thanks! I just put out a new video today.

[@mill3370]

I use kilohearts chorus. They have a bunch of good effect that are now free i believe. But not when I bought them :/

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

I've never heard of Kilohearts before but I just went to their website,. Going to check their stuff out. Thanks!

[@andreasoberg2021]

Thanks this was a fantastic comparison. Very valuable. Im a synth guy but maybe I should play some guitar…

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Or, run your keyboards through guitar pedals. That's one of my favorite tricks.

[@andreasoberg2021]

@@FreakingOutWithBillyHume Yes, that is definitely something I consider. I am debating a bit if I should run them through physical pedals or if I should add them in the DAW. Nicer to screw on physical knobs but feels a bit more flexible to have them in the DAW so you can tweak things after. I also have quite many synths so if they would all need pedals I would need several. I'm currently building a studio so looking a lot at wiring. I got the Quantum MK2 which is fantastic and ordered the Moog One, have the Native Instrument 61 for sample libraries, I feel this should give a nice spread between analog and all the way to sample libraries. I was also just looking at a Kawai hybrid digital piano Novus NV5S. I have a real grand and love it to bits but I just very rarely record my music on it, if it would be midi I would do much more and then I can fix my many mistakes when improvising as well, of course I can always do the final recording on the grand piano, but I do not always think it is needed. I am a bit unsure how many inputs I need on my audio card. I consider getting the RME Fireface UCX II which has 8 inputs which is a bit low, but I guess I could always get an ADAT later like Ferrofish 16. I'm not expert though so lots of things to figure out! Still having a great time. I do have the larger UFX III but its sort of locked on my main workstation for video sound editing. I guess I could swap it with the smaller UCX if I get desperat.

[@andreasoberg2021]

Strymon Big Sky, Night Sky and Delay seems interesting, but you of course have lots and lots of other cool pedals!

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

Very 80s of a song. Nice.

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Thanks! That's a band I play in. We have started playing gigs and have a single coming out soon.

[@rodrigobelinchon2982]

Magic Switch seems unbeatable, sounds great, easy to use , free ... my ears say that when it comes to chorus, software is a good as hardware

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Yes! That Magic Switch is amazing! Funny, I tried it a few weeks ago and didn't take it too seriously, but in back to back comparisons it has made me a believer.

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

Shalom.

[@CC-fi3pp]

Pedals.

I TRIED TO TRANSLATE WITH AUTO-TRANSLATOR for some reason all bloggers translate, but your translation turns out to be gibberish, apparently you are using obscure phonetics, which is not understandable for Google's auto-translation. Pay attention to this, at least in the end it is important for us to know the conclusion, what is good and what is bad.
