I saw The Souvalki tour in 1994 & don't think my hearing ever fully recovered ! It was worth it. Love The Golden Hair video on YT ( with the blue haired girl ! ) Pygmalion , one of the top 10 albums ever !

[@pedalpartners]

yes! to everything here David, thanks for watching my dude :)

[@mattdoesstuff8987]

Holy crap, that is a beautiful board, sounds beautiful too. My wallet: *sweats*

[@pedalpartners]

hahaha

[@orbitron20]

Great video once again! Loved the old videos you made when you would make sounds simialr to shoegaze bands. Also great that you two are talking more and allowing us to get to know you better. Keep up the lush videos, can't wait to see what's in store next!

[@pedalpartners]

thanks so much man, they're so fun to make & i like using these videos as an excuse to nerd out about gear!

sounds good

Lol well said

[@patrickel94]

The quality of these videos keeps getting better and better! I would really love to see a DIIV equivalent of this (I know that you did one back in the day)

[@pedalpartners]

haha back in the day, thanks so much man! yeah, nerding out about diivs pedalboards would be fun

[@bilnabiln]

a DIIV video based on their Deceiver sounds would be so sick

[@patrickel94]

@@bilnabiln Or even like an evolution - saying what the used for Oshin, and then what they did with Is The Is Are and then Deceiver - they said in an interview with the NME (on KZbin) that they had simplified their live rig (less effects), but replaced pedals that they had since they were 16 with better quality pedals - I've seen on Equipboard and Reddit forums that they're using Eventide Reverb and quite a few JHS pedals now

[@bilnabiln]

Patrick Ellis yeah dude! They consolidated all their delays with the Timeline and both Cole and Bailey don’t even have a chorus pedal anymore lol. But now they have more dirt- EQD Grey Channel and ProCo Rat

[@patrickel94]

@@bilnabiln Never knew that they got rid of their chorus pedals... seeing them in 2015 about six months before Is The Is Are (they previewed a lot of songs from it at that show), and then again in London earlier this year there was such a difference. Everything has stepped up a notch for sure!

[@matthewtop]

That was sick. Interested in doing a "Verve" sounds video? I love Nick's sound in their EP and first LP

[@pedalpartners]

thanks man, may do at some point! early verve is really good!

Such a gorgeous sound, absolutely love it. Gotta make do with my dd7 and mooer shimverb for now :P

[@pedalpartners]

thank you, that will do!

[@gazeunderthesunmusic]

I was at the london shows back in December 2014 and the Oxford show back in June 2017 and they were all amazing and surreal.

[@pedalpartners]

i was at that oxford show! Rachel came to watch my first band who were playing upstairs at the o2 which was a dream come true! such an amazing band & such kind people! 💗

[@gazeunderthesunmusic]

@@pedalpartners they are amazing people as well as amazing musicians

[@yukaritelepath5108]

definitely my favorite video by you guys!! love it sm, it would be amazing to see something like this again, with a lot of pedals engaged

[@pedalpartners]

aww thanks so much! we have a few full board videos planned this year :)

[@nadiaarghh]

Perfection! Thankyou, i love your slowdive series =)

[@pedalpartners]

thank you my friend! :P

[@nickyverb]

Amazing video Luca :) I saw Slowdive for the first time on that 2017 tour as well. What a show that was!

[@pedalpartners]

hey my dude! thank you & that's awesome, they really did so well on that tour!

[@sillypengie2052]

Beautiful! All I need is my Partscaster-Jazzmaster, vox ad-50, and Zoom ms70cdr (and a dirt pedal). :) P.S- if any of you guys havent checked out the souvlaki documentary that pitchfork did, then stop whatever you are doing and watch it.

[@pedalpartners]

that souvlaki documentary is great! sweet setup, thanks for watching!

[@ghostpatternsband]

Yes was there that night at the roundhouse!

[@pedalpartners]

ah that's awesome, it was a really good show!

[@graphicnick07]

Really cool, thanks for this👍

[@Flibbybibby]

Christian and Rachel used the FX500s Neil used a Krog A3 Which is the same rack mount the Edge used for his delays.

[@pedalpartners]

indeed! i really want all the rack units slowdive & mbv were using back in the day ;)

[@callumalston5755]

Not all the walrus audio, don’t forget the descent, absolute monster of a shoegaze pedal

thank you Nicholas!

[@legovideotv12345678]

you should do a guitar recording tutorial

[@robanderson251]

Great video, i wish i hadn't parted with my PS2 after hearing it on this and your other video. I found running a Strymon Big Sky with the Space Echo and an MXR Analog Chorus gets to a nice slowdive sound - depending on which guitar i'm using then it either just needs a clean boost (i use Boss Line selector with the channel gunned or an OCD set with no dirt) or an MXR Distortion + into a RAT will do much the same...

[@pedalpartners]

sweet set up! the ps-2 is a unique gem, still to come across anything else like. i'm a a big fan of all boss pedals, but the rarer gems are always a worthwhile addition to any collection!

[@polaroidleftist]

Do MBV next please, if you haven't already

[@lzryd]

Ok good. I don't feel weird anymore for having only four delays and four overdrives (BD2) on my board...lol. Not suggesting these to sound like the band as you already nailed it in the video...but for future experimentation.... I'd definitely suggest again the Catalinbread EchoRec. You can fine tune its parameters inside with trim pots and select switches. Check out YT. Out of print...well worth the money before they go Klon Centaur prices. Nice dark repeats that vapor nicely *sniffs cork* with the reverb and plenty of good settings. I want to eventually run it at 18volts isolated input as it's supposedly great headroom like the beaucoup bucks of the Belle Epoch deluxe. We shall see but at 9volts it's already a winner. Definitely like the Roland space echo as well. Putting it on my hit list. I am still Kicking myself for not getting an old one used at GC. But I think the newer version you used is more reliable and still sounds way better than say a mxr carbon copy (which imo... isn't). My current four delays are: Catalinbread Echorec. Boss Terra Echo (always on). Tc Electronic Transition. Keeley Caverns2 (reverb is always on) then Run em stereo out to Roland JC 120 (C'mon let him get one P) And Orange Dark Terror into 4x12 celestions. Six speakers of ridonkulous (sic) & therefore is attenuated as I have neighbors home during Covid as well. I run JC120 + JC77 if I want to quadtriphonic to the land of chorus verb vibe fun. Especially if you get both choruses or chorus/vibe in phase...at different speeds...and inputs... Hokey Smokey Batman. Peace from Detroit...where my basement looks as if a Jules Vern squid made of guitar cables exploded... B

[@pedalpartners]

that's about the right amount tbh Brian ;) glad you enjoyed the sounds! about the echorec - i REALLY want one! if not for some shoegaze sounds, for that classic pink floyd sound. really nothing else like it, will have to check out the catalinbread, didn't know it was discontinued! the dd-200 has a "drum" delay setting based on the echorec & it's one of my fave things on that pedal (along with the tape setting - based on the space echo of course). i haven't had the chance to try an original space echo, but would love to! the pedal form is much smaller for sure! awesome you have the tera echo, such an amazing sound! love your amp set up, still working on getting me a 120 (or two) ;) may your cables unravel soon! thanks again, luca

[@lzryd]

@@pedalpartners Thanks Luca. Yeah when I click it on it ...its Gilmour Jr time...leads or slapback pink floyd rhythm. I thought it was OOP but I could be wrong. I think $130-160 USD is a good price on the used market (eBay). Not Analogman or Klon yet. The originals like the Binson and even the big version of the Roland space echo were analog or some used tapes and as such (with moving parts) they are expensive to maintain. Glimour himself had problems with breakdowns while on tour. Keith Richards can have two Fulltone tube tape echo aka TTE machines...at over $1200 USD each with actual tape reels most cannot afford them. Which is why your channel is cool, as every GC around here has Boss. They are reliable and easily replaced on tour (Steve Vai, JHS, Paul Gilbert all make this point as well). Look at it this way your two jc40 (I thought you had two) have the same capability plus WAY better distortion as we spoke of before. My audiologist disagrees that louder = better. I still am Lady Gaga over the Sabbra Cadabra as I play heavy stuff at times. Treble booster were foreign to me... But until I solve my isolated power issues it does not stack with other gain stages. Any isolated power supplies you use and would recommend? I'm looking at the voodoo labs as I need that one 18v slot for the Echorec.

[@smtcharlie]

Does Neil ever have all these pedals on at once like 6:00? Wow, that’s a wash of sound!

[@StefanvanderKlooster]

That background wash is mostly created by that middle Slö in latch mode! Nice isn't it?

[@pedalpartners]

that sound was achieved by using the walrus audio reverbs (which slowdive don't use, but are good for shoegaze nonetheless) with the bd-2 & loomer!

[@soulkiss7297]

holy fuck this is amazing im about to burn through all of my bank account for that kind of sound

[@pedalpartners]

i can offer you those sounds for just 99p today, check out violetoscillation.bandcamp.com to discover more ;)

[@danielcarter4392]

if you had a single DD200 to use as a delay for Slowdive sounds what setting would you use? i saw one video you used the dual mode, but i’m just curious because it’s my only delay at the moment ! awesome videos as usual.

[@pedalpartners]

most the modes in the 200 are great for slowdive sounds! :)

[@gazeunderthesunmusic]

Hi Luca and Page I really enjoy your slowdive video absolutely the best band I think should try and do a Six by Seven or Sciflyer episode

[@pedalpartners]

thanks so much man!

[@asims1066]

Do Blankenberge’s setups please! I know they’re not as well known as Slowdive, but I’ve really struggled to figure out how they get some of their sounds and was hoping you’d have better luck than me

[@pedalpartners]

that would be cool, might try it!

[@StefanvanderKlooster]

"we don't have a RAT or anything similar..." About time that the guys at Walrus send you one of their Iron Horses. Really curious about that pedal in a shoegaze setting. One question regarding the PS-2. I bought one recently, but did Slowdive only used this effect for its delay (and of course the infamous oscillation) or also for the pitch shift settings?

[@pedalpartners]

they also did a hm-2 type pedal i need to get my hands on! not sure exactly beyond the oscillating stuff. i know radiohead used the pitch setting on some songs :)

[@StefanvanderKlooster]

@@pedalpartners cool, didn't know about that HM-2 clone. Which one is that? That Iron Horse is a real beast though.

[@gcdrone]

I know Christian uses a Bigsky as well as a Neunaber Wet just to name a couple.

true!

still worth getting at a bargain price, but pedals are definitely more portable!
