Quiet Theory Prelude [Reverb/Delay Pedal] Demo

[@thepedalzone]

Love this demo so much

[@Pedalnerds]

Thanks! I'm enjoying your demos as well.

[@proteusswarm7291]

great demo and love your channel. Your reviews highlight the amazing musical sounds in the boxes, not just a overview of the strangest sounds it can make.

[@Pedalnerds]

+Gregory Strand Great comment! Thank you

[@rodiebobwilliams1330]

That sweep melodic backing track is a flavor I haven’t heard in awhile! Nice tasteful demo sir!

[@Pedalnerds]

Much appreciated!

[@leftpastsaturn67]

Not only a beautifully presented demo, but one that actually gives a clear & musical representation of a pedal at its best. Subbed.

[@Pedalnerds]

Thanks and glad you like it! I have another demo in this same style/format coming out in the next day or so. Thanks for subbing!

[@PerryFrank]

What a wonderful pedal!

[@teriakamoto]

A very pretty sounding delay/reverb. It really fit your playing/demoing style and/or vice versa. Beautiful sounds really. Thank You.

[@Pedalnerds]

[@DannyShipleyMusic]

this was just relaxing to listen to, a very decent combo pedal

[@Pedalnerds]

+Danny Shipley Thanks Danny!

[@DannyShipleyMusic]

Dude I love how you start playing at a minute and 38 seconds

[@Pedalnerds]

Danny Shipley :) Glad you like it dude

[@laurashafer563]

Love the sound & the look of this pedal. I love your music! Great job as always! You're so creative!

[@Pedalnerds]

Thank you!

[@endezeichengrimm]

The marble top and pine leaves, really put this over the top.

[@Pedalnerds]

Thanks!

[@sp3ct3rsd3mos]

beautiful sounds you've pulled from the prelude. one of the nicest demos for this i have heard.

[@Pedalnerds]

Thank you. Very much appreciated!

[@psymetal]

Didnt know about this one. I just bought a keeley caverns v2. Awesome demo

[@nickcasale1709]

This thing is lovely

[@Pedalnerds]

Agreed. Really well-designed. I also like the tone switches even more than I thought I would.

[@Sabrinathefishinggirl]

This is my favorite sound. Wished I was able to go back to work so I could buy one. Disability sucks. Such a great pedal.

[@Pedalnerds]

It is a great pedal! Sorry to hear about being on disability.

[@jessieplaysmusic8530]

You, Stefan from pedal zone , and Mark Johnston have the best tone in the demo community.

Thanks! Those guys are excellent.

[@RoccoSaviano]

[@nashvilletunes1116]

Very creative! Looking forward to recording with you, bro. I look forward to your videos. Creative & original!

[@Pedalnerds]

Thanks!

[@calebgarza150]

Beautiful demo!! I’m subscribing just from it!

[@richardstone2908]

Nice sounding pedal think I might get one of these

[@777Witness]

Sounds great! What's your favorite delay for this kind of laid back stuff?

[@MEJ0RVIDA]

What is the high tone on 1:19min that joins the melody? And how do you play those things (I assume it's not an automatic part of the effect)?

[@kairophilos]

I love your videos man. 😍

[@Pedalnerds]

Glad you like them!

[@Akoeistic]

are all the sounds from 1:04 till 2:00 from the prelude? and how do you get that very late delay sound?

[@Pedalnerds]

Yes, all the reverb/delay sounds are from the Prelude. Starting at 1:04 I am using a glass slide with a volume pedal into the Prelude to get that effect.

[@Akoeistic]

Nathan Shafer ah thanks, it sounds really cool.

[@Pedalnerds]

roel0o If you swell in the volume pedal as you slide into a note with the delay set at feedback low and mix high while setting the reverb mix high that should get you there.

[@Akoeistic]

Nathan Shafer I will try that out when I have all the gear needed :D

[@Pedalnerds]

Let me know if you have any other questions

[@jojosfotospc]

I miss you dude.

[@heycaptjack]

Great demo! All analog? Digital? Mixed?

[@jonathanritchie3706]

sensacional gosto muito desses tipo de som parabéns amigo belo talento

[@VictorLee335]

Cool demo! Does it take a momentary switch for tap tempo?

[@Pedalnerds]

Thanks Victor. No tap.

Do you have something an album or continuous playlist of music like this?

[@Pedalnerds]

I have some of my older recordings from KZbin here: elementsandechoes.bandcamp.com/album/ambient-songs

Thanks.

[@Pedalnerds]

No problem Jay.

[@Pedalnerds]

Hey Janis, glad you like it. Check out this album with songs from my videos: elementsandechoes.bandcamp.com/album/ambient-journey

[@mubeenkazi90]

Wow man!! Are you using a baritone guitar btw?

[@Pedalnerds]

Not using a baritone actually. It's a regular guitar tuned to an open C# tuning (I think). It does give that baritone guitar vibe with the low tuning.

[@mubeenkazi90]

@@Pedalnerds oh gotcha, either sounds amazing man!

[@Pedalnerds]

@@mubeenkazi90 Glad you like it!

[@Alesistx2023]

got my subscript when the slide came in

[@boe466]

What tuning are you using? Sounds like you have the e string at C? Great playing!!

[@Pedalnerds]

I believe I am using C#G#C#G#C#F. Its a tuning I came up with that I like the sound of. Thanks!

[@_sadghost]

Great pedal, too bad I missed the three hour window to buy one when the last wave released. Keep up the great work dude.

[@blakebauer2722]

Do you prefer this pedal or Hungry Robot The Wash and why?

[@vikinin]

Hi Nathan, thanks for this nice demo. question: I already own a Diamond Memory Lane jr, a Strymon Dig, an Empress Vintage Super Delay plus a Strymon Blue Sky verb. Why should I need this Prelude Delay, that has no tap tempo nor a reverse mode?

[@ryannicholson8005]

If you have all of those, you probably don't need any more. But I'd definitely get more!

[@midotpatrick4648]

Ahahah, story of my life too. I struggle on a daily basis not to buy more delays but my spirit is so weak...

[@Pedalnerds]

If you own all of those, you would buy this reverb because you like the sounds(and visual design) and it offers something unique with it having the delay and reverb combined in one pedal. Maybe you want to have a certain combination of delay and reverb ready to go in one pedal where you can just kick it on.

[@jackbenson8228]

maybe dont be cork sniffer and go play some music?

[@chrissullins3]

I'll second all the kudos given above.

[@Pedalnerds]

Thanks for comment Chris!

[@Kathayne636]

What's your signal path, bro?

[@thecasualjedi5832]

Man does anyone know where i can get this pedal? quiet theory seems to have sold out

[@Pedalnerds]

Looks like these are coming back in stock on Reverb

[@skyrunnerdubstep]

Can an external tap tempo be used with it? Love the sound but using a knob to find the time I'm looking for can be a pain

[@Pedalnerds]

No tap tempo for this one

[@t1merickson]

This thing is mono in, mono out, right?

[@slimex33]

Are you familiar with KZbin channel knobs?

[@Pedalnerds]

slimex33 Knobs is the best but I do like to use the top-down approach with descriptive text. It's one of my favorite pedal demo formats. What is your favorite pedal demo format?

[@slimex33]

Nathan Shafer - PedalNerds I like top down as well. I like your videos, as well as knobs, for pure listening pleasure rather than viewing as a pedal demo. Very cool stuff.

[@Pedalnerds]

Awesome. Glad you like the videos. I put some of these songs/tunes from my videos into a little album if you want to check it out: elementsandechoes.bandcamp.com/album/ambient-journey

[@slimex33]

Nathan Shafer - PedalNerds Hey thanks. I will check k it out.

[@Galova]

what is it? A belton + pt2399 combo?

[@mosesramirez6330]

A critique on the pedal: why 5 presses and *then* a long press for burst mode? Seems excessive. Why not simply a long press or double tap w/long press?

[@Kory0122]

Moses Ramirez probably because someone could accidentally switch it over to momentary with less presses. So by making it 5 it becomes a deliberate choice.

[@Greencheez-y]

Is there a specific genre you'd call this type of music? Edit: Especially at the very end of the video!

[@Pedalnerds]

Ambient guitar probably :)

[@sp3ct3rsd3mos]

Glitchtar?

[@itsmeRizzG]

Any idea where I can get ahold of one of these?

[@Pedalnerds]

Looks like they are sold out but you could check out Reverb.com. Looks like they have a few used ones for sale there.

[@itsmeRizzG]

@@Pedalnerds Cheers! I'll just keep an eye out then, just signed up to their newsletter :) I don't think Reverb ships to Australia?

[@renecarranza4500]

Should be a song

[@starcloud4959]

May as well leave your hand on too of it.

[@jessekerley8625]

It doesn't appear to be stereo, correct? Great demo and it sounds amazing though!

[@Pedalnerds]

Yeah, this one doesn't sound stereo output. Glad you like the demo!

[@thegabrielguitar9727]

is this a pedal or a magic lamp...

[@Pedalnerds]

Both

[@waenderer]

mono ?? cant believe mono rev/echos are still made

[@Sagramore92]

Cool and goodsounding. But 280 bucks?

[@01kid01]

Can you hear the sound of this sweet little plant dying ?

[@robmlisanti]

Mono unit?

[@robmlisanti]

Nathan Shafer thank you

[@waenderer]

mono ???

[@stephenplante2273]

Sometimes I feel that the music being played in these reverb/delay videos is extremely limited to slow ambient style guitar. Now I know that these pedals lend themselves to this type of playing, but i would love to hear some playing that is more akin to what most people play/ listen to. For example, I would love to hear how these pedals respond with some more gain. Maybe some floyd style delay sounds

[@ianchandler9993]

Great demo, but it'd be even greater if you branched out into a newer demo video style. The Knobs thing works for Knobs--I'd rather see something in your style than his.

[@TW-AZ]

I agree and disagree. Knobs hasn't really been doing much in terms of traditional relaxing ambient stuff. Musically Nathan's sounds are a little more mainstream and help me hear the potential of the pedal in a situation I would be likely to use it in. So musically I think they are different, at least compared to Knobs' current stuff. Stylistically the Knobs method of using text to annotate is just incredibly efficient at getting information across without interrupting the sound. The backgrounds are similar stylistically but where the videos styles differ is in story telling. Knobs videos tend to have a background story going where as far as I can tell Nathan just uses pretty backgrounds. So I guess there is some obvious homage to the style Knobs developed, but I also think these videos are different enough that I enjoy them. In fact, in some ways, I enjoy them more. I would suggest at least keeping the (more mainstream) use of the pedals and text information. That really just leaves the backgrounds to change around...

[@johnetone]

I want to give Knobs a shout out for changing the way people make demos! She is a gifted and visionary artist! And I want to give Nathan a shout out for making it his own thing and still progressing in a very descriptive and user friendly demo. I think it is totally cool for people to be inspired by others and make it their own. That's how we all progress. Evolution is a caterpillar!

[@ianchandler9993]

Yo, Knobs is a guy.

[@johnetone]

I don't think all of the members of the "Knobs" team are guys. But I don't necessarily have proof of that. I've seen some feminine looking hands in those demos. But then again, I've seen some feminine looking hands on many musicians hands. #genderbias #amireversesexist? #haha

[@ianchandler9993]

Knobs is literally one guy. Sure, he's got other people helping out, but there's no "Knobs team."

[@oldguyjammin9732]

Nice review but it would’ve been nice to hear with some thumpy hard rock.

[@jorhay1]

Actually, very different than Knobs. I don't understand what he fuss is about. Nice Video.

[@pezinski01]

The delay repeats are horrible. way too dark and muddy
