Subdecay Prometheus DLX Demo part I

[@paddling_out]

Man.. the clean tone at the beginning of this video is divine

[@apl1373]

I came here to focus on the pedal but got distracted by your awesome playing and had to watch it again, which I didn't mind at all. Excellent demo.

[@frankie28web]

this is the best demo of the subdecay that can be found on the net...

[@kupassyatina]

finally found this well-structured review of that beast. thank you very much

[@StephenTKeller]

Awesome demo! Only one that shows all the sounds this pedal can do (or at least most of them!) Thanks for taking your time to do this.

[@benjamingrim2534]

thanks for the in-depth exploration of this pedal. I appreciate it.

[@2Lenny]

Awesome run-through. Thanks for taking the time. Really helpful.

my recommendation is 2 definitely put the Prometheus before delay because it just sounds fantastic with a nice echo following each note/sound. putting phaser after the DLX gives you a bit more texturing options given the dynamic utilities of the Prometheus. it's versatile enough that whatever sound coming out of the DLX will interact with the phaser in more unique ways than trying to get the prometheus to work with a sound that's already phased. reverb should just about always come last.

PS: On my current board, I have a true bypass loop with a Tonebender Mk I style fuzz and a Subdecay Octasynth first. Then, there's a second TB loop with all the rest in it; starting with wah => Prometheus DLX => Dirt

[@TheGuacamoleXplosion]

Yes, it's the standard 15 watt version, with just a small mod that has no effect on the sound: TRS footswitch jack,

[@TheGuacamoleXplosion]

You can get kinda Phaserish and Tremolo-ish sounds. But not exact phaser nor exact tremolo. Like, if you use the filter to create Tremolo-ish sounds, the depth of the faux tremolo will be different when you play high notes than when you play low notes; since the Prometheus never affects the whole frequency band equally (as a regular Tremolo would more or less), but always modulates specific frequencies.

[@TheGuacamoleXplosion]

the problem of this pedal is it's flexibility :-) If you use it mainly as a touch wah / envelope filter, or even as a "classic wah pedal" with an attached expressional pedal, then it should go early in the chain, before dirt. If you use it rather as a "faux tremolo", then after dirt, maybe even after delay and reverb would make sense (many people, including me, like the "tremolo after reverb" sound that you get from old Fender amps). So well, you have to experiment what you like best :-)

[@vgostivavstriu9519]

Killer!

[@TheGuacamoleXplosion]

glad you like it :-)

[@AntwhaleNearfar]

3:57 “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head”??!

[@TheGuacamoleXplosion]

sounds a bit similar ... but fully unintentional :-D

[@MrSimondaniel3]

man, i cut myself off from buying more pedals, but these subdecay pedals are insane.. anyone selling used?

[@useless987]

Also, at 8.19 that's definitely echoes...

[@TheGuacamoleXplosion]

thanks :-)

[@Billyleenyan]

Ha. Doubt between proteus and prometeus. Now i'll just need more money

[@Biggirlband]

Would you say this pedal can act as a simple phaser and Tremolo pedal if need be?

[@StenRHCPbass]

How does this pedal work for bass

[@Macmax7077]

what amp are you using?

[@useless987]

Planet telex :D

[@Macmax7077]

and what pickups?

[@TheGuacamoleXplosion]

Macmax7077 amp is in the video description. Pickups are Lollars.
