The best pedal you’ve never heard of - Phantom Limb

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

Discomfort Designs needs to come up with a distortion pedal called *PHANTOM PAIN*

[@legoharry100]

Snake… Why are we still here… Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg, and my arm… and even my fingers… The body I’ve lost… and the comrades I’ve lost… It won’t stop hurting, like they’re all still there… You feel it too, don’t you?

[@matthewtop]

That'd be sick. Make it a hybrid of an oscillating fuzz and reverse/auto swell machine and bam i'm there

[@AbrahamNewman-yj2ch]

haha yea I figured the artwork would be gruesome

[@solarismoon3046]

Or Phantom Pains!

[@marrow94]

It's beautiful, like it completes your music adding his little notes "hey I want to say things too!"

[@ShallieDragon]

It seems very similar to the Chase Bliss Mood, but for a lot less money. And also kinda does its own thing, which is fun. We need more ambient microloopers, so this is a welcome sight.

[@ShallieDragon]

Thinking about it, the big advantage it has over the Mood (and the Microcosm, by extension) is the fact that it's much simpler and easier to use. No menu diving, no alt functions, no foot dancing. Just turn it on, give it a little tweak, and let the sparkles happen.

[@dorianford6227]

Yeah I feel like pedal companies are now starting to take CBA’s creative approach to pedals but are simplifying it, making it more user friendly and yes much cheaper. I remember I wanted Outward so bad and I was sad I didn’t have $400 to drop however I came across the MXR layers and for less than half of the price it does practically the same thing. I just needed a drone pedal and it got the job done

[@DeathMayBeYourSantaClausz]

adore these kinds of pedals and you can never have too many as they each have a particular character and can surprise you differently

[@YouBredRaptorsMusic]

Oh hell yeah Discomfort Designs! I have one of their Life Pedal clones that I picked up years and years ago when the original life pedals were like... A bagillion dollars. They make great stuff

[@digiwaves]

That’s an intriguing pedal. On the list to try out. Thanks Emily! 🎸😎

[@GuitarML]

I first saw this pedal on the DiyPedals thread on reddit, so cool to see them getting some recognition!

[@ponaboy]

a Sunday drop...WOO HOO!!! love the lowkey configuration...easy to understand.

[@SteampunkALIEN]

I love these kind of effect pedals ! They're kinda between a synth, a sampler and a pedal...

[@flatgura8036]

Finally, found your second channel 😮😮😮 nice phantom limb

[@sepiarain]

4:20 it's like instant Jonsí (Go era album).

[@flutechannel]

your voice on your talking shots sound great! What are you and russ using for the talking shots? Shotgun just above the camera? Im very curious!

[@mikegeary8056]

The Meris Autobit jr covers a similar territory. It’s great.

[@emilyharpist2]

I love that pedal! I’ve had it for years, there’s definitely some overlap!

[@fxdhansidressler1048]

Beautiful playing and sounds🖤

[@solarismoon3046]

I don't have any pedals (now) but if I ever got another one this would it. I love the sounds that you can get from it. Earthquaker makes some really neat pedals too but this I would use for everything except for bass guitar.

[@jeremysmith4620]

Hey its a pedal you can plug in a harp and somehow instantly recreate Múm's first handful of albums. Rad. Now I have to go listen to "The ghosts you draw on my back," which if you've never heard you're missing out if you dig Icelandic Indietronica.

[@OODZUTSU]

2:25 I also said "yeah"

[@CryllicFonn]

Great pedal. Playing is even better.

[@crunchysteve]

That thing has some beautiful, glassy brittleness! Would be at home on any pedalboard, feom metal to acoustic to, oh hey, harp 😊

[@walkerck]

Go team Venture!

[@Swell_Simps_United]

Thanks Pedal Mommy! 🥺

[@Distortionist]

It reminds me of the Soma Cosmos, which is also sort of a looper that does what it wants.

[@collisiondevices]

I'm in love

[@AfferbeckBeats]

They need to do a version themed like the Phantom Limb from Venture Bros

[@davidbock201]

This seems like a chilled out, easier to use, simplified version of C.Bliss's Habit... Yeah?

[@reenchanted]

Very cool. Love those sounds!

[@searchXghost]

I'd like to see a side by side comparison of this and the Habit. They seem like they're almost the same thing.

[@rckmnd]

Thanks for the breakdown! Great video as always. Does this have the same size/dimensions as the CBA pedals?

[@emilyharpist2]

Thanks so much! Its about the same size, yeah!

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

Great sound, intriguing possibilities!

[@Badguy10472]

I love me some Gothegg

[@tom.m]

Gotta love a filter on a delay.

[@MoonBaillie]

thank you

[@Skunkmonkk]

Next do the the Rusty Fuzz or the Brock Sampson Overdrive!

[@GizzyDillespee]

That I-V-vi-IV chord progression in the first demo part made me think I was in a telephone commercial, but this damn thing sounds cloyingly beautiful. It would be a great way to fill out my slow-assed live playing, and make it seem like I'm playing more and better notes. Usually it takes me 2 pedals and some layering and offsetting and crossfading in post, to get that same type of result. As far as stereo... put it on your R stereo output and then chase it with a stereo-izer... and then put your L stereo output thru a normal reverb... and then you end up with 2 stereo pairs to mix, starting from a single stereo output... but that's okay, because it sounds full that way.

[@jonaseggen2230]

Sounds a bit like Mutable Instruments Beads to me. But maybe not so strange? Beads is also a delay, haz a freeze function, variable speed, pitching and and and, so...

[@RichardQuirkmusic]

Always room for more quirks in music. thanks for the intro to this pedal. I wish there were options for playing the loops could be played octaves down (slower) but the granular pitched up seems to be the popular flavour with pedal these days. Have you tried this pedal with your CB Habit?

[@LalisasToxicHusband]

In fairness, I haven't heard of any pedals. So the best pedal I've never heard of is by definition the best pedal of all time. I'm just here because Emily is cute

[@Vildhjuggah]

it's giving mood at home?

[@techlab7]

really like this!

[@matthewtop]

I really really like this thing. It seems like a less intimidating Habit

[@JosephCompton66]

Sounds like my reverse mode c

[@intervallum]

Okay wow… love

[@eandresc]

Temu mood

[@justinbernal1]

Sooo... Does this pedal make you feel notes you that you have lost? Like when someone loses a limb they report they can sometimes still feel it?

[@Hermitthecog]

That tingle in your phantom limb is just a conversation in progress. 😎

[@briancoveney3080]

Chase bliss?

[@msumungo]

Do you have a Boss Tera Echo? If so, then how you would use it?

[@msumungo]

A delay with a random dubstep drop regardless of a note would be interesting.

[@melcor88]

I had subscribed to this channel after your collab with Rob Scallon like a week ago. Sad to see you guys only post advertisements.

[@TheSalinski]

Very nice!

[@gravyking7058]

We should call ourselves "The Violet Hour".

[@Ryan-Hall]

Thanks Guys I been wanting to see this vid for a while but just not got to it but it is a real Trip and it is a Phantom thats for sure 🌸🤘🎸🤠 Your Music-In-Law

[@LizordSword]

the first half second of that initial demo freaked me out i thought it was the discord ringtone

[@magnussoderman6676]

What microphone system do you use on the harp ?

[@emilyharpist2]

its a built-in pickup system thats factory installed!

[@rickenbacker12]

Whomever made that petal must be a Venture Brothers fan, it sounds cool though.

[@MatthewSwasta]

awesome...no friggin' DIP switches...

[@macsarcule]

Finally a simple chase bliss pedal! wait…

[@hoorayforkayte]

That filter got my attention

[@sevrinmusic]

collector emitter reference hell yeah

[@drrocketman7794]

Shout-out to footlessjo

[@inPHluxx]

I can hear it even when it's not plugged in.

[@deptofcarstereorepair]

The first few notes you started to play made my brain think it was about to hear "Heart and Soul"

[@dubbstompp]

Mozzarella Sticks

[@rickc2102]

nanocosm

[@danopticon]

That’s a big frikkin’ guitar.

[@prollyjusyellin]

I don't like that they basically just copied Chase Bliss' homework. At least change the layout.

[@maurobelarde8527]

I prefer the Tube Screamer.

[@PedalboardoftheDay]

😂

[@bjh3661]

Every pedal modulates delay time and/or frequency response and/or transfer-function and/or dynamic range. In any order. That's it. Reverb, phaser, chorus and harmoniser are modulated delays. Distortion, overdrive and saturation are transfer-functions. Filters and EQ are operations in the frequency domain, Compression and exapansion are automation of signal amplitude. Goodbye.

[@EllieReagan]

I like the demos and stuff, but I really miss the new content with Russ, the egg, travels, bean boys, gremlins, fake dads, etc….wish you’d go back to making that

[@hmr28]

They her other channel Emily Hopkins

[@hmr28]

Try...bad thumbs

[@TheFULLMETALCHEF]

Try attending one of the live Wednesdays

[@EllieReagan]

It’s a joke, folks. A direct callback to her recent highlight of people complaining she doesn’t do pedal reviews anymore

[@throwingshapes6490]

Have you been getting blisters on your thumbs?.. You sure are playing a lot of harp.

[@patrickr6505]

I have heard of it.. Only for I already have CB Mood2,Blooper,Onward,Gen Loss,Lossy I'd get it..

[@FenixHere]

Miss harp lady , I saw this pedal and thought you should review it : kzbin.infoKUm6jZmrVBo?si=cpeqYbearcEkM_5B

[@heyflood-tm9xn]

these pedals are the new ukulele in commercials. hate it.

[@briancoveney3080]

Not

[@googlepigs7027]

They got to change that name as it refers to what amputees experience. Not appealing.

[@gavanbourke]

Joke comment. Why don't you make videos that are just for fun and not always about serious gear. Joke comment. 🫧🫧🫧🌈
