More attempted music!

I put an effect on the acoustic mic and hi-passed it to remove some 200Hz boominess, copied tracks and added delay to fatten them up, and did my first backward guitar solo.
So, the Sentry made it on my pedalboard.
In front of the amp it sits right after the tuner. In the FX loop it comes first before the delay und the reverb.
#GearSquad folks, could you recommend me a decent, budget video camera? I'd like to save up for one, but video is something I know very little about.
ICYMI, I've shared 24 free #VitalSynth presets here. I like helping people make music, so yeah, please use 'em if you like! :)
(Link goes to Gumroad. If you have recommendations for a better platform for such things, I'm all ears.)
Look, I like boutique guitar pedals as much as the next person, but it's always hilarious to me to see people posting pedalbaords with like $30k of boutique nonsense on them asking like, "Can I sound like the Cure with this setup?".
Meanwhile Robert Smith is still out there with like four Boss pedals he bought in 1989 just sitting loose on the carpet.
Anyway, yes, I pick really weird clouds to yell at.
Tonight’s project: Soldered and put together a Daisy Seed based chip guitar pedal. Already got it flashed with examples from https://github.com/bkshepherd/DaisySeedProjects/blob/main/Software/GuitarPedal/README.md
Getting ideas about what I want to try to modify or cobble together. This patch (shown as “Cloud Seed” on the display) is a nice shimmer reverb, and there’s also chorus, tremolo, delay, a looper, a metronome, and more in the examples.
I’m not a C++ programmer but I’ve done enough Arduino programming and professional Rust programming that I can figure this out. The DSP stuff will be what I have to learn.
An amazing look at how a true professional approaches their pedalboard
@tflynn It did what I asked it to do (keep a 12-string guitar approximately in tune) and still works 40 years later. What more could I want? :-) #gearsquad
I feel like maybe this needs a trigger warning. Like, why? Why did so many of us have this? Are you legally not allowed to have a decent tuner in high school?
The UDO Super Gemini can make sounds that resonate with the fuzz in my head.

- Torso S-4 Generative Sampler

- Chase Bliss CXM 1978 reverb
- Midas Venice mixer

Ok nerds... here's a great site that breaks down the circuits in pedals, the example here being the MXR Phase 90
Too bad, the delivery time of the Synergy Killer Kali module has been postponed again. It doesn't seem so easy to dive deeper into the Synergy ecosystem. There seem to be delivery problems from time to time.

Made my first set of #VitalSynth presets available for free download. :)
In this free preset pack, you'll get 24 patches. There's a B3, a few quirky organs, some 808s and basses, and deliciously "analog" pads and leads.
I hope you enjoy! Lmk if you make some music with 'em.

Fellow #guitarists of the Fediverse, what analog delay pedals do you like best? Here’s what I’m auditioning for my pedalboard: (left to right)
- MXR Carbon Copy
- MojoHand FX Dream Mender
- EQD Dispatch Master
- DIY delay with an infinite feedback (swell) stomp that someone made for me.
I took the tube amp I just bought to the amp shop for a checkup. Est 6 week turnaround, due to demand.
See you later, new friend!

After a couple of weeks out with back problems, I had a great time performing this new track live in the studio yesterday.
If I would get off my ass and book some shows, it would be fun to do this kind of thing on stage.
Gear listed in the video description for my #GearSquad friends
Hey #GearSquad good day to you and please impart your wisdom and recommendations. I’ve been getting by with #guitar amps and headphones for my output but it’s time to improve the sound quality in the room for recording looping performances.
- what make/model of mixer for a newbie in this area?
- what powered speakers for a mixer or audio interface?
Thank you, my music pals

@ashnoodle First, I'd say you've done great to find a process that works for you. That's key.
I've used BX Masterdesk (Classic and TruePeak). While it works, I don't find it as intuitive as Ozone (iZotope), which also tries to take care of the LUFS stuff for you. It's definitely not perfect, but can give you a starting point even if you don't know all the theory behind it.

Really intrigued by a tremolo pedal I heard about today on the Guitar Knobs podcast: the Boiling Honey Tremolo from Monger Pedals. The knobs are Sym (up/down sawtooth or triangle), Space (adjusts space between pulse), Speed, Volume (level of effect), Depth, and Smooth (blends between square wave choppy and sine wave). Seems like a lot of room for tweaking the sound! #guitar #GearSquad https://mongerpedals.com/products/boiling-honey-tremolo
