[@andrewhuang]

Let me know what you think of our design! Ghost is available here: www.endorphin.es/modules/p/ghost-pedal

[@joshz5714]

This layout works perfect for a multi effect pedal! Just a thought: What’s the likelihood of making this system into an auv3 plugin for iOS devices? I’ve moved most of my setup onto my iPad, it would be dope if it could be integrated into that system digitally. Wonderful work on the pedal!

[@birviva]

Perfect basic layout! I like the approach of how to access the shift button for many presets! Something I was wondering: Could you change the order of the saved presets, to make a easy sequence for a stage performs for example?

[@ikestoddard2458]

Freaking BRILLIANT!!! I have been playing guitar over 40 years and never seen this kind of thing.

[@TheGuacamoleXplosion]

great design; most interesting pedal since Meris released the LVX. Need to hear more, but so far, the sound of the reverb algos seems rather underwhelming; and I would want 128 presets. Everything else about this, including the price, is fantastic.

[@andrewhuang]

​@@birviva To load a preset you select the one you want and then hit the Bypass footswitch (ie. the active preset doesn't change as you're scrolling through). So you are able to load them in any order you want, but if you want the least amount of scrolling for a particular order of presets unfortunately there is no quick way to change the saved order. If you have a free slot you could move things by saving them to different slots and saving over ones you've duplicated, or, presets can be dumped to a computer and organized there (and extras stored).

[@stevenarvizu3602]

I would be totally down for an Andrew Huang line of instruments, midis and plugins

[@andrewhuang]

I’ve got Transit, Flip Sampler, Ghost and more on the way :)

[@user-fu8su3om5r]

Please don't say Midis.

[@Sharpened_Spoon]

“…but yeah; you can modulate any parameter, any shift parameter, and as many as you want, in any combination, at the same time” 😂 This is absurd! I think our brains got modulated seeing this.

[@Emma-wg4zo]

You literally made the pedal that I tried to build with several pedals and midi stuff, and it didn't work well and it was so expensive. In the end I had to go back to the computer and do it there. So...Thanks, I love you ❤. Greetings from Mexico

[@andrewhuang]

I appreciate the feedback! We hope some of these features are bringing something new to the table :)

[@janniksiiger3367]

Would love to see a bass being demonstrated on this.

[@trevorford8702]

Same here. I think it would make a cool saturated synth bass sound.

[@kerdum]

Very much YES!

[@damianlevi5287]

yes please, I'm seriously considering to get the ghost to use it on my bass guitar, but I'd really like to know how well that works beforehand ;-;

[@zakkziegler111]

This is legitimately one of the coolest, most versatile seeming pedals I've ever seen. Hats off, my man. Sincerely. Undoubtedly a labor of love and passion.

[@wackyjjackie]

Great pedal Andrew! Reminds me of when Robert Scalloni ghosted me after sending him a 36 page thesis as to how best smuggle pedals out of the country. Keep up the good work!

[@andrewhuang]

You know I think he’s already an expert smuggler!

[@SleepingLionsProductions]

@@andrewhuangCheck if yours is still in your studio. Rob might have smuggled it.

[@patrickbrogan8770]

@@andrewhuang so he smuggled all those pedals to break the world record for biggest pedalboard?

[@GizzyDillespee]

@@patrickbrogan8770 The opposite - the pedalboard was an excuse to secretly win the world's biggest pedal smuggler record.

[@patrickbrogan8770]

@@GizzyDillespee Of course!

[@swugg]

Damn. Basically an all-in-one effects pedal. Super awesome stuff.

[@versoinstruments]

Orbit featured on the demo of your own pedal! Such an honor :) And what an amazing little box this is - you're killing it again, Andrew!

[@PocketUnv]

This is such an inspiring pedal, thanks for helping bringing it into the world!

[@englewoodmusic]

Everything you make is awesome! Also, Transit has changed my life lol gotta new song showcasing it coming soon 🤘

[@andrewhuang]

So glad you’re enjoying Transit!

[@kerdum]

Transit is amazing!! Glad I got it at discount lol

[@vondoom2876]

As a man who loves to use synths as effects units for audio inputs I approve this pedal.

[@CalebXH]

You basically shoved most of the pedals on my board and how they interact for a fraction of the price! Brilliant work, I'm excited to hear what wonderful noises everyone makes with this

[@fatrightfoot]

Andrew I haven't watched your videos for a year or two and I used to be such a huge fan for ages and you really sparked my interest in music and it crossed my mind today that I should check up on your videos and see how you're getting on and god it feels so good to be back!! Best part is I've got loads of new videos to watch now so I'm definitely not going to be bored this Christmas😭 You seriously are the holy grail of music creation on KZbin!!

[@toddbrannon6262]

This would have been a full rack of gear back in 80’s when I was growing up 😮 I can totally see guys like the Edge and Jonny Greenwood working this thing over back in the 90’s I need one! 🔥

[@lu-sk]

This is sick! Love the endless ideas you can come up with using the pedal.

[@No.0.o.0]

I wish Red Panda would have some internal modulation in their stuff. Hope other companies in general get inspired to add at least envelope followers to everything

[@templeboards]

Brilliant! Love the attention to detail with the design elements. Sooo FUNctional.

[@yanlatawiec7519]

such a versatile pedal!

[@666DOD]

There's so many clever things about this pedal, but the quick guide on the back did it for me!

[@Grant82gc]

I love using pedals for production because it forces me to commit to recording really early in the process. I might have to add this one to my collection :)

[@user-vr2ij6yb6h]

This is a Fantastic effects processor, I love the lay out. 👍

[@12431265]

See I thought I'd missed something during FoO when Andrew mentioned his signature pedal turns out that was a fantastic preview of what this pedal could do in different genres of music :3

[@mixedinkey]

A lot of thought went into this pedal. Thanks for explaining your thought process!

[@pick_nark]

Man I wish I could play with all your cool gear, new and old. Amazingly cool pedal

[@reghunt2487]

I admire the thoughtfulness of this design. So many things you can do, but it seems very user friendly, designed to be easy and informative to use. And the sounds are insanely fun, definitely in my lane.

[@orbittwz]

Bro this is amazing! keep up the hard work :)

[@3g0st]

omg its so beautiful man... love it

[@Dirk_Mcgurk]

awesome job! lots of useful fun stuff in one handy pedal

[@60400]

Very simple interface for all the functionality it has. Looks and sounds great!

[@mikemorrisonmusic]

I’ve been waiting for a pedal like this!

[@jingleball2427]

DUDE this is insane i cant believe this hasnt been done before! Very cool man BIG ups!!!

[@hamacaboy]

This looks absurdly amazing

[@_supersolar]

this is totally insane. great work andrew and the endorphines crew

[@dankefurnichts]

sold for me! finaly some good pedal for live performers! thx andrew

[@hi-five4960]

Please make as many tutorials and music with this so i can fantasize about getting it!

[@DJCD92162095]

Master Huang, I’m Master Wang from Belgium! I’m glad you made this!

[@AndrewPRoberts]

0:55 Volca drum is HIGHLY underrated, probably my second favorite volca

[@Srcsqwrn]

Andrew, I love that you make things for people. Liike human being people. Not money, not the most advanced music nerd (although wouldn't be uset if you did), but people. Like, This design is made for people who love music, and you've filtered it down to something usable. It doesn't seem finicky. There are two guitar pedals I want to get in my life (because I'm poor as heck), this Ghost guitar pedal, and Microcosm. I say it often, but you are very inspirational for me. Watching your videos really makes me want to be creative in so many aspects. I get a little bit more hope when I consume your content. A small light in a sea of confusion~

[@VacancyOfDisco]

Very excited for this!

[@doriginal69]

I like what you did with the wah effect. I thought that was cool. Never thought of doing that. I will have to do that with my Morningstar.

[@beastnighttv]

that guitar looks soo good!!

[@vminator]

I really want this as a desktop mixong tool. Great work!!

[@andrewhuang]

I use a reamp box to use pedals as outboard gear - super fun!

[@emroenator]

The pedal looks amazing- on my wish list. But honestly I just came here to comment on the pillow.. nice job!

[@nickgerow]

Quite often I will only "like" a video after I've watched it, but sometimes a moment during a video makes me go, you know what I'm just going to like this video right now while I'm still watching it. The pillow moment was one of those times

[@mr.d.572]

I love the design. I don't need those kinds of spacey filter sounds but if it were just more traditional guitar effects and sounds, I'd be all over this. I like simplicity.

[@nkozi]

Good on you for putting an attenuverter on every knob, twice. The hair length is looking good btw

[@wavyseahill]

Really cool and powerful device!

[@-Banana-Bro-]

It’s always a good day when Andrew posts

[@markbteeps]

That's such a creative pedal, love it

[@UNDERMIND_AUDIO]

Dude, this is heavy!!! Giveaway would be hope!!

[@hexadb]

That looks excellent! Initially I thought 'Meh, just distortion/verb/delay/filter' but by the end of the video I was ready to sell all my pedals to get one! It looks really well thought out with so many possibilities. I can imagine delay freeze with some bitcrushing and mod pedal assignments could make for some seriously evil glitchy broken sounds.

[@Gosuminer]

Not really in the business of buying a pedal but I am blown away by the thoughfulness of the features and the great usability in such a small package.

[@tal23erez]

This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

[@tsooooooo]

damn that is so well designed!

[@AntonRuinsMusic]

I honestly feel like calling it a "guitar" pedal is a huge understatement

[@MarkToast99]

One of my favorite pedals to mess around with is the Mooer Ocean Machine. This feels like a souped up version of that

[@matthew.wilson]

That LFO/EXP/envelope system is what I've been dreaming of for a while now albeit to integrate into a Helix. But the Ghost interface is just

[@SurrendertheEctypeofficial]

Killer job!

[@notice_fpv]

The routing section of this video/pedal is well worth the price of entry!

[@birviva]

I want to see something like you did with the weird gear sequel like you make a song with this pedal 😍

[@pongtrometer]

Great stuff…. After seeing you experiment with the Bastel, I’m wondering is there a cv/gate/midi to freak the heck out of it with irregular changes

[@IzzyHamilton-bu5zk]

I'd love to see a synth-a-sette review

[@TripTilt]

Incredible design to design the incredible!

[@xchump]

this pedal is insane. i need it!

[@myvolts1903]

Love it!

[@DavidHilowitzMusic]

such a cool pedal!

[@infinitemonkeyproject]

DAVID!!!

[@valdir7426]

love it when applying modular/synth logic to pedals will blow the mind of pedal users. The system is pretty close to what they did with the dreadbox nymphes but the little lights makes all the difference. bit disappointed there's no compressor though

[@darionbuck4614]

Zoia bro

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

Show this one to Josh at JHS Pedals. I'd like to see him do a demo of it. I'm sure he'd love it. Nick would find some weird uses for it. At first I though $445 was a pretty step price, but basically, this pedal is your whole rig, including a cab sim, so you can go direct. So, really not that expensive for everything that it does.

[@zapantalambda]

This could be the Guitar Pedal of the Year 2023 easy ! Congrats Andrew Huang ! ! More awesome pedals pls kind sir.

[@apeirogonmusic]

Wow It seems like the most versatile pedal ever Now to work on my tap damcing skills

[@myautobiographyafanfic1413]

I'd love a hardware comb filter!

[@danielfishburn7042]

Damn you guys even included a reverse reverb that’s pretty dope

[@chrisman212121]

wow really cool!

[@thiagovidal8972]

Masterpiece man

[@kerdum]

The wah alone has me sold on this geez!!

[@icarusgaming6269]

Does freeze also continue to process new signals? Can you kind of do frippertronics with that feature?

[@birviva]

So cool!

[@jabengolledge552]

Man, totally thought you had shiny spider silk pouring from your finger on the thumbnail @andrewhuang 🤙 sick pedal tho wish i could spend more on music toys 🤤

[@Willsonix]

This is nuts!

[@cadburrower3736]

Do you plan to make a video on the midi implementation for ghost?

[@domingoleija3436]

Well done maestro Huang 6:39 . I don't play guitar but I would try a mic and and aux -to my Allen Heath . Hope it's less then micro cosm?

[@katana2seppuku]

This is really cool, makes me wish I knew how to play guitar

[@zorglubmagnus455]

Congratulations!

[@jrbship]

Pillow Mode is sick!

[@Juanitooooo]

how about a hardware version of transit so i can play it with the cdjs?

[@opalpersonal]

i love this! i wish pedals weren't so expensive.. i can't wait to never be able to afford it 😭 maybe someday...

[@MrNovember91]

I shouldn't have watched this; now I'm going to have to sell a bunch of pedals to get one. Luckily, it looks like this can easily replace my entire pedalboard.

[@hervenekros1928]

-hey cool pedal! What can you do with it? -yes

[@Gin-toki]

12:05 "so we actually got the manual or like a quick guide on the back of the pedal" great way to persuade people to buy two pedals 😏

[@TheBelse]

Go Andrew ..yes Big love ...synths sound amazing through guitar boxes. i designed and built an 8th order low pass sweepable filter at university 48db roll off ...hehehe.

[@flashyStrobe]

but can you use the expression pedal to change the modulation amount?

[@gabri43375]

pillow was so random hahahaha thank you

[@DirtleTilbury]

Badass pedal

[@Figmentius]

now turn it into a vcv rack module please

[@thedhdnetwork9115]

You have built the synth guitar pedal that guitar players have been looking for. Where Roland and Boss have failed, it appears you have succeeded. Congratulations on your achievement!!!!!! You're gonna be rich, dude!!!

[@swarthygiant1463]

I’ll be honest my immediate thought was “why would you ever want to order it with the distortion block last”, but with the distortion low and the bit crush that actually works pretty nice. Maybe I’m hearing it wrong but it seems like the compression on the distortion is pretty minimal because the reverb still sounded pretty wide post distortion/crush?

[@starman69]

This thing is fucking awesome!

[@imCalyx99]

You should get one of these to Yevette Young, she could do some amazing stuff with this! Great work!

[@shanodavoo]

phenomenal design! so much thought. Can it take a stereo signal?

[@andrewhuang]

Thanks! Stereo in and out yup!

[@nilsliebich1822]

Hey, thanks for the content, is the full signal running through an AD/DA? or is just the effected signal added to the original? Thanks!
