Way Huge Pedals Atreides Guitar Pedal Deep Dive

[@sweetwater]

It's weird, it's wild, it's exactly what you don't expect! Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe if you love videos like this!

[@BowserSpaceLaser]

Real missed opportunity to call one of those sliders "spice"

[@thedaver8]

The spicy licks must flow

[@Supernautiloid]

He who controls the fuzz controls the universe!

[@tonedover]

don is one of my favorite demo people. he has a calm presentation, takes gear through many settings, super professional and has the chops to do varying styles depending on the item.

[@mukmuk775]

It might just be the best pedal demo I’ve seen. He recognizes the limits and usage before they jump into rolling the camera; and he played riffs/phrasing demonstrating its best usage. In my humble opinion, of course.

[@aliensphyncter9528]

Way better then 60 cycle hum

[@waldemar.golebski]

Sounds more like Harkonnen than Atreides :)

[@waldemar.golebski]

[@DaveMcCall]

It's something... unexpected.

[@ZJtraylor]

Harkonnen filth would be a great name for a straight up fuzz or overdrive pedal

[@careyvinzant]

[@HouseOfSpheres]

For the record, it's actually an EHX Mini Synthesizer on the two Van Halen tracks in question, not a Micro Synth. Big difference. The Micro Synth is basically a fuzz circuit and an octave divider run in parallel with an envelope-triggered swept filter, whereas the Mini-Synthesizer was an actual subtractive analog synthesizer with a cheap keyboard layout built into it to trigger the sounds.

Mesa Triple Crown. Good call. My fav amp.

[@mykhedelic6471]

Dune Metal.

[@grantandrews4826]

This is a fantastic demo. Bravo. Most people don't play to the effect this well.

[@dungeonwolf8919]

Is this available on Arrakis?

[@usagi2988]

It's actually really gratifying to see a player of Don Carr's caliber vocoding the envelope sounds with his mouth... 'cause I do exactly the same thing. I call it "faux-coding."

[@AynenMakino]

I'd love for this module's many parameters to be controllable with CV signals, making it a perfect hybrid between pedals and modular.

[@sheepkillindog]

My thoughts exactly.

[@yobaby14]

I need to stop watching demos until I get fully familiar with what I've already collected. The demos always give me an acute case of GAS!!!

[@julioguerrero8849]

Mine arrived yesterday (bought at Sweetwater, via Caleb Smith,) and it's indeed a weirdo (the pedal, not Caleb!) Sliders have a small bump in the middle of their range that let you know that's the default position. You do not mix the effects... you kinda unbalance their relationship. And like Don states in the video, harmonics react very different to pick attack, selected pickup position, and your guitar's tone and volume pots. It demands to be funk'd! Love it so far! BTW, it also includes custom guitar picks, ala Purple Platypus re-issue. EDIT: The Blue Hippo and Supa Puss are its best friends.

[@Woozy.0]

I didn't get the picks :(

[@graxjpg]

I think this one would do great on a synthesizer! I would love to see what happens when I create a feedback loop with its IO’s

[@adamsonlinearrayspeakersha87]

Interesting

[@billydelacruz1500]

Nice demo Don! Kind of a Jack White vibe but I could see it used in a funk band as well!!

[@graxjpg]

Yeah man, a “free your mind and your ass will follow” kind of jam (;

[@TWHueyGuitar]

But does it Gilmour?

[@chantzarcher4807]

That is a cool ass pedal. Love the fuzz sounds it puts out. I could rock the shit out of that

[@ThatIrishCowboy]

That 513 is so gorgeous! The pedal isn't bad either.

[@gilsghost]

You know what’s weird? I’ve not received a shipping notification and this demo is 3 days old! 😪

[@danielsantini4580]

🤯👁DUNE👁🤯!!!

[@metalore]

I wonder how this sounds in different places in the effects loop. Especially at the end.

[@DarkAvatar1313]

Sounds like Tangerine Dream in a box ...

[@bobocop69420]

Reminds me a lot of the Subdecay Noisebox but not quite as wild.

[@timrandolph7416]

I loved this guy on “Scrubs”

[@adamsonlinearrayspeakersha87]

Haha cool 👍

[@tuievans]

Even though I’m not American Sweetwater do the best gear reviews drums or guitar

[@tuievans]

@The Chicago Goblin indeed

[@thepricillove5244]

But isn't it supposed to blow something to pieces. Reminds me of the Agoniser Pedal's setting called "Suffer Baby"

[@Open_Eyes_Open_Heart]

Man I wish this was a stereo pedal

[@BNA_Est.1988]

Its so obnoxiously good lol

[@R0BL68]

Off subject I know but...what brand are the ATA road cases in the background?

[@DaveMcCall]

Gator Cases

[@bmgleaso]

Your tone is a killing note

[@mr.squanch549]

Sounds like a Q tron and a Tone Bender mk IV had a baby and made a Phase 90 the god father. I’m in.

[@evangilchrist981]

Very data corrupter-like.

[@AlexFernandezSMS]

Don you should cover Frankenstein by Edgar winter group with this bad Boi

[@HK-47_Meatbag]

Anybody know if it works with Bass?

[@sweetwater]

Hello! I haven't tried it on bass yet, nor have I seen anybody who has. I think it could work, but I'd be worried about how much low end would come out of it. But I do play bass, and I have watched the new Dune movie twice already, so it'd be tempting to try out... 🤔 If you want a synth pedal that is geared specifically towards bass, check these out: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/C4Synth--source-audio-c4-synth-pedal www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BassMicroSyn--electro-harmonix-bass-micro-synth-pedal www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BassMonoSynth--electro-harmonix-bass-mono-synth-synthesizer-pedal Thanks for the interest!

Dune is a book, Don. 🤦🏻‍♂️

It's also been a movie since 2021.

The kind of thing that is fun for 10 minutes, and then...

[@travislee9662]

I was thinking the same thing about 5 minutes in lol

[@mikeroadblock]

It could be good for a ripping solo?!

[@sheepkillindog]

It would be great for drum and bass. It has applications but needs to be in the public’s hands to discover the full potential, like most things.

[@johnsterthemonster9181]

...and then even more fun.
