aliceblissuwu we live in the fewchoor

[@westwoodmusic604]

YES! I've been wondering what this thing sounded like since I've heard about it! It is actually MUCH better sounding than I first thought ahah the tremolo effect is so sick!

[@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals]

Alex Kappel I agree- it was kind of hard to get a bad sound out of it believe it or not! And it’s always fun to get creative ha- thanks so much man!

[@HarshTonesInc]

This is dope, man! Stay hydrated.

[@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals]

Harsh Tones, Inc. no kidding! 😂 maybe Rainger’s tagline for this should be “stay thirsty my mates”

[@HarshTonesInc]

@@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals Haha!

[@MarlinForbes]

Jaw dropping performance. Wow.

[@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals]

🙌❤️🙌

[@alexfletcher9915]

The hooks and riffs in this piece are sick!

[@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals]

Alex Fletcher thanks Alex! 🙌

[@fngsrck]

Rainger FX introducing a whole new kind of party foul where you accidentally spill someone's pedalboard.

[@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals]

Michael Harper 😂😂😂 if you’re lucky it might sound amazing

[@neve4020]

First note got me in! Thanks! Killer pedal!

[@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals]

Neve damn! In my next demo I’m just going to play one note then- that sounds so much easier 😂 Thanks so much ha 🙏

[@neve4020]

@@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals i hope youre having a band? Killer licks!

[@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals]

Neve links for that in the description- lots of albums, although currently disbanded

[@mikesmith-bz4kv]

RAD DEMO!! I think I have to get one of these now. Prost!

[@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals]

thanks so much!

[@kevinrab1130]

Very cool! Science AND music!

[@wolvesdensound]

...this was SO cool!

[@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals]

Glad you dug it!!

[@SteveConteNYC]

Not only are the sounds killer and creative but your playing & riff writing is pretty sick man - new fan here.

[@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals]

Damn- thank you for that!

[@Lebolax44D]

So sick

[@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals]

🙌🙌🙌 thank you my man!

[@saddestchord7622]

I hope you feel better soon.

[@dwightwrites9925]

That’s pretty cool!

[@lancethrustworthy]

I was impressed with the piece of music whipped up (I assume) for this video. Bravo.

[@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals]

Dan Lewis thank you so much 🙌

[@saddestchord7622]

This is a weird pedal. Rainger makes weird stuff, period, but it almost always sounds good and this one does, too. I bet it's a lot of fun.

[@Lordbaccus]

I like the sound of that guitar 3:)

[@ofir_likes_beer]

That's The EOB Strat!

[@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals]

Yes it is! I modified it quite a bit though

[@mikecole2837]

you should put some opaque glitter in there and see what happens

[@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals]

[@chadcdavis]

Tell me more about that awesome strat! Are the differences just Ed O'Brien things?

[@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals]

Chad Davis finally someone asked! 😂 it’s the Ed O’Brien Strat but I made a few changes...I swapped the neck for an all rosewood neck and the pick guard to a gold one. The original neck was like a baseball bat. Not sure how familiar you are with it but it has a sustainer pickup in the neck- so you can hold a note and it lives forever. It has a feedback mode too where it screams a wild sounding 5th above your root tone. Handles chords beautifully too. Other than that it just has a hot and clear single-coil sized humbucker in the bridge. I love it!

[@chadcdavis]

@@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals that is awesome! It looks killer like that... yeah the neck and the pickguard had me thinking you had partscaster'd up an Ed O'Brien. I've toyed with the idea of just adding a sustainer to my HSS but it sounded like a bit more work than I was expecting. (I think there was routing involved and that's where I usually bail out). Regardless that thing looks killer. Nice taste man and yet another great video!

[@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals]

Yeah the routing involved is insane and expensive/irreversible- I looked into it too ha. Def worth their $900 or so to just get the Strat- hope you get to try it soon! And thanks so much 🙌

[@JosephineDeSmet]

that's a nice sound!!! just a tip: RoomieOfficial does these challenges for songwriters and musicians on youtube, should you be interested, now you know ;)
