This pedal sounds like the Tardis landed in Syd Barret's mind in the year 2,090,341! My great, great, great, great, grandchildren are going to love this pedal!

[@PhilieBlunt666]

I mean I could this being a nightmare, but I find it oddly calming..

[@gwugluud]

Wow, lol

[@likeanuuk6612]

so its a pedal for making indie game music, got it.

[@darkiee69]

I'd say early 80's video Game music.

[@SpencerJMusic]

Yeah but explained with hours of unrelated yapping

[@moosemusic6703]

Seems like just what's needed for that solo trance gig.

[@zFlamewing]

Loved the Pulse Width Modulation setting. It and the low pass filter with resonance were the most fun to me. Hearing the PWM on a guitar was reallly nice. Thanks for sharing the pedal with us.

[@hughmash8250]

matt bellamy would love this crazy colourful pedal

[@RockyLikes]

3:45 The only musical example that can accurately describe what an awkward conversation feels like.

[@leandrocesarmaccan5655]

Once in a while ill look this video and try to understand what is about! That happened too with Alexander Superball, i didnt understand it at all, and now is one of my most favorite pedals

[@DoomsdayMongrel13]

I'd honestly like to know how it sounds with a Bass

[@glueball9511]

bettter

[@HiGlowie]

I’m hoping it works well with my synths

[@chrisofnottingham]

And the best thing is you can turn it off

[@rottingemptiness]

Absolutely true !!!!

[@EdwardIglesias]

Whats that? You want me to play a Dr Who convention? No problem.

[@fretboardyoda]

Yes indeed this pedal is so different, and I like how left field it is! It’s kind of like the people behind The Residents made an instrument pedal (?) I was reading in the manual that it can do MIDI commands, interesting!😮😮😮😮

[@andrewglenn4199]

The Alexander Pedals Marshmallow is even more like The Residents.

[@Roboprogs]

If you wanted to play "Lo Fi" live, that opening warping sound (around 4:00) feels like it would really work for you. Sure, not generally something one would use, but it sure fits that genre. Edit: 6:10 has the full LoFi effect with the "lag" setting cranked -) Us synth guys call that effect at 10:00 a self oscillating filter when you crank up the resonance. At least I think that's what's doing it, together with an automated L/P filter cutoff modulation.

[@HiGlowie]

We also usually refer to the “lag” as “glide”

[@mattw.6726]

"...and I also love the fact that they spell colour correctly..." Shots fired! Also, 11:00 chiptunes intensifies

[@steveandrushko75]

No they didn't 😁

Yeah they did, British English is the original English, STOP CHANGING OUR WORDS

I might have to get one. So much functionality packed into a single pedal! It's quite impressive.

[@williamsmothers8830]

The mother ship should be arriving any moment now.

[@morgoth102]

The part from 7:47 and on had some beautiful Planet Caravan vibes. I loved that effect!

@@stevenwebster4504 dafty? Never heard that word before. But it's not a question of who made it because if you really want to be specific, we should be speaking Old English which no one knows how to read. Or better yet why don't we just speak Latin? It's not a question of who made it, it's a question of who is more culturally popular. And right now, buddy, the United States is the most influential country in the world.

[@TJNorton]

It sounds like a ton of fun to me. I'm going to get one to run harmonica through it, with a delay pedal too. Thanks for making this video 👍

[@leeoliver9322]

6:12-6:18 reminded me of "Miranda, That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore" by the Mars Volta, just as the guitars start to kick in (so, like, 4 minutes into the song lol)

[@m.f.3347]

lmaoo so true i was half-expecting the trumpets to come in

[@yamahamusicians]

Great pedal and you can get some real whacky effects from it but as with all pedals like this less is more. I can see it being useful in very small doses.

[@shaynes.9773]

Odd--- it sounds a bit like a cassette deck that has a motor issues, or a turntable or reel to reel that is manually rocking the platter/ reels. It is unique... That one setting that you commented on as being the most musical, actually I can see myself using that one. Thanks for the cool pedal review, Mary.

[@Arrancargod]

I feel like Larry Laonde from Primus would have a field day with this thing, it’s a pretty funky sounding pedal.

[@bradleyard4195]

I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!!! The octave synth is enough to make me want to save up and get it, such a cool sound. The others would take some work to really figure out how to use (aside from the tremolo, and I have one of those), but that octave synth sounded amazing.

[@dillipphunbar7924]

The Pulse Width Modulation and Filter are definitely usable...the others..umm hmm...need experimentation and possibly better with other instruments.

[@shawnlaizure]

Your reactions cracked me up!

[@ShubhamMishra1989]

@Mary Spender -- at 02:12 I have the same lamp like you do !

[@eurosnuke1678]

Your voice sounds so lovely and the accent♡ could listen for days so calming :D great video too, Thnx for the discount link!

[@martymclochlin4836]

I love those little Boss Katana mini's.

[@Davesauce]

Reminded me of Stranger Things for a second 👍 cool pedal!

[@tohstygohstygal]

It sounds like someone called the cops in an NES game.

[@john564holloway]

Howdy from Fort Worth, Texas!...Koolest pedal, by far, Mary. Splendid video! Gotta have one of these. Loved the Red FLT sounds and your playing at about 8:00 mark!...

[@SHEDERICH]

Sounds a lot like my Data Corruptor pedal (Earthquaker Devices.) Will definitely investigate further - thanks for reviewing this "beast" of a pedal!

[@masterlifeandlove6757]

Sequencers from what i can see, really aren't so much what you would take to a gig but play to get a sample off, then you can mash it up in your daw. Unless you hone in a specific setting or on some acid/smack/shrooms/mollys etc

[@Reaper33333]

Another cool video. I could sit around and listen to you talk for hours. Keep making these videos. Great work,

[@HaysimHay]

Cool pedal, and...nice Video!!🤘🤘

[@jonlennon3348]

What kind of a guitar are you playing in this video? Is it a Viger?

[@doubledham7489]

Isane sounds from another planet ! I love it

[@groovefretboard]

Gotta try that pedal on groove Fretboard ha I created a new strobe FX as you slide finger over FretCorners. Great vid! I’m doin a vid showing every type of fretboard comparing it to my invention to show contrast.

[@HylianCheshire]

Your smile is so wonderful! Thank you

[@BarrettSimms]

Watching you noodle around is super fun!

[@almarc]

This thing is one of those that simply SHOULD exist. Even if nobody will ever use them.

[@jurgendieente4908]

😆sounds like fun for days

[@DatBrit7]

Could probably wiggle a good Muse cover with some of those sounds. Great nifty little pedal :P

[@gwugluud]

3:50 - SOLD. 😱😀

[@28rwags]

Marry whats the USB function for on the pedal and what does that all do?

[@jimwilliamson9893]

PWM = pulse width modulation. If I was going to cover a St. Vincent jam -- say, Rattlesnake, for instance -- this would be a good sound to bring to the mix. No computer required.

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Most excellent video, thanks Mary Spender!!!

[@SleepSoul]

As a fellow Brit, I greatly appreciate the spelling. Though I can't picture any of the settings but the octave being useful outside of experimental music...

[@Talon5Karrde]

The @11:00 - sound is the best... But if you are not going to use that live on stage, what is the point? You can do most of that in post production while having clean music and better control, right? lol

[@ChuckoComics]

I bought some strings on REVERB once... Never really went back... But you reminded me to go there again... So... I listed an old Tascam Controller and sold it immediately... You made me 55 bucks today!!! SWEET MONKEYS

[@jasoncoleman2940]

You're expression when playing the synth octave seems to go from bewildered to loving it. Great video on a truly weird pedal.

[@MajRatbag]

I love the fact that you love the fact that they spelled colour correctly :)

[@BodybuildAlex]

What kind of guitar is that?

[@craigschray4486]

Mary, speaking of cool pedals, you should do a video on the Electro Harmonix Synth9.

[@BananaManPL]

I wanna see what Omar Rodriguez-Lopez would come up with while playing with this pedal. Sounds fun, though I'd probably plug in a mono synth instead of a guitar.

[@wondertrek5294]

I have been playing for ages, love your channel, have no idea how I got here but I'm glad I did. At 7:54 that sounds like Floyd (Pink) I have never heard of this pedal but I will be looking in Sam Ash and Guitar Center for it to try it out. Cheers!

[@XGMPinachet]

i can see Mary doing 8-bit covers with this...

[@jamesdewey133]

Hi Mary! 👋

Sitting in a quiet room and some of these sounds are freaking out my dog. Had to pause until I have headphones. 🐕

3:40 first strum. 7:40 I do like that.

[@SeanZetterlund]

lol @ how she mentioned they spelled "colour" correctly on the pedal, while having that Ernie Ball "The Colors of Rock'N'Roll" poster behind her in the upper right hand corner for much of the video #ShotsFired 😆

[@Tanglangfa]

The sound in the beginning would be stupendous with a bass and an envelope filter and ocatver!!!!

[@Dian2Gig]

We Love your channel. My daughter Anna is a guitarist and a gamer. She heard this video and wants this pedal. She would love to create video game music of her own.

[@DawidvanZyl]

And now we know how every 80's game soundtrack was made.

[@Stonesorrow]

11:00 You've just tapped into Matt Bellamy's secret guitar-sound catalog.

[@brettmarlar4154]

I liked three or four of those effects. I just wish we could've heard more presets within the other effects.

[@3dPrintCreator]

Ah okay, I know what not to ask for Christmas... But I did look to the end and liked your review.

[@burakeren]

Delay and reverb it!!! Synch to delay to triplet and watch soundscapes unfolds.

[@hookydoo]

[@SwainBjornstrandt]

Would a collab with Martin Miller and Tom Quale, at that awesome studio that they play, be possible? I would love to hear your voice in a full band performance. And in that band.... imagine the greatness.

[@strikeout2143]

[@anderst.3541]

Does it work with bass?

[@mikegreenguitar]

[@DogOfEgypt]

If I buy many pedals on Reverb, does that mske me a spender too?

[@callumalston5755]

That first preset sounds like a muse intro, that’s hilarious

[@GiuBernardi]

Also 7:48 reminded me of Megalomania

[@FuriousMess]

Interesting pedal Mary. LOL my GR33 seems simple. Love your stuff

[@iKnowFast]

I really can see a death metal band using these, Deicide did some insane solos that sound quite sinister using this kid of thing.

[@a-funk1253]

Funny, I spotted some familiar sounds: at 05:36 was almost like Larry Carlton in the very last seconds of 'A Strange Boy' from J. Mitchell's 'Hejira'. But I guess you know this, Mary ;)

[@SteveReynoldsGuitarist]

I'll stick to a bit of echo and reverb I think.

[@yy6u]

you should try out oscilloscope music! you seem like a sucker for synths :D awesomenessthe little tune at the end sounds similar to the beginning of contra - vampire weekend

[@luisvillarreal5262]

Hello Mary. I think that pedal might sound good with a slide. Play a little blues with it. By the way, I enjoyed watching you amongst the other crazy Guitarted guys, cranking the Marshall amp to 10 video. Thanks for taking the time to review guitar gear and share info. Have a wonderful day.🎸👍

[@Spikeupine]

Do you get a discount if you buy six and send them a video of all the effects running at once?

[@stevesmith3990]

Its rather like the Earthquaker Devices Arpanoid pedal. Useful on sci fi soundtracks only!

[@quinnmclaughlin7537]

PWM is my absolute favorite!

Mary! You should try SINGING in to it! Crazy sounds!
