@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer if I had the pedal I would do it. Maybe not necessarily show the act, as that's probably best suited for a different video platform, but the tone test should suffice.
Honestly, when you mentioned the disclaimer about "bodily fluids", my brain immediately went to the idea of some emo band somewhere passing their guitar signal through the guitarist's blood.
That telegraph stutter pedal looks incredible! I’ve wanted a pedal that gives that effect ever since I heard “True Nature” by Janes Addiction so many years ago!!!
I think you mean Jamie Oliver, he puts olive oil on literally everything, it's become a running joke. I once saw him on a British TV show putting olive oil on _ICECREAM_ and claiming that this is done a lot in Italy, which sounds like a complete load of shite to me
This video makes me nostalgic for the beginning of coronavirus, when I started sleeping on the floor watching your vids til late at night... I am now doing the same thing, almost a year later. Not much has changed but still nostalgic
I'm pretty sure that's a reference to Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Throw Away Your Television" that also uses an automated pitch shifter in the last part of the song.
I was just about to comment this myself. That is probably the most gorgeous strat I've ever seen... neck to body to pick-guard. If this is a series, I'd really like to know the name, even though I'm not going to buy one.
The demo at 5:37 is good enough to be used in a song. If I had the money I'd buy the rights to that tune with that tone off you and make a song out of it. I wouldn't have my record company copyright strike people on TH-cam though, that would be betrayal.
4:50 A friend of mine started making guitars a few years ago, and some of his guitars incorporate a button similar to this. Just a little "nipple" on the body to disengage the signal on command.
firstName lastName There is. That’s what the little switch is for. Rob Scallon has used one of these before and then went into detail on his second channel.
Least impressive was the spinning thing. The concept is cool but implemented really badly imo. Everything else was pretty inspiring, I might even buy some of these.
@@seanlanders4180 What I didn't like is that the rate wasn't followed in real time, if the signal would slow down at the same time the spinner slows down it would have been cool, but it was just an on/off thing
@@Bladavia its not an on/off it definitely scales the expression output with the speed of the spinner. I think the issue is that its an expression pedal meant to be used with other pedals so rather than it being 1 tremolo peak per spin its just faster spinning = higher expression value.
Omfg! The swarm is the greatest thing I've ever heard! It sounds like a synth pedal crossed with everything I imagine like a cartoon in my head. Lmao. Amazing! I GOTTA get me one! Thanks, SammyG! Love your channel, Bud! Much love from Moncton, New Brunswick!
I think you'd get better tones out of the Swarm if you stuck with single notes and maybe power chords. As a PLL fuzz pedal, it has a hard time tracking chords. It's definitely weird, but it can be much more musical if you give it a simpler signal.
The Telegraph was cool AF! It's like having a Les Paul toggle for your foot! Very handy for those with a blade-switch who want that Gibson cutout ala Ace Frehley.
Cool video! The bee pedal was obviously for more melodic playing higher up. As apposed to lots of strummy, kinda low chords. I mean tom morellos solo on Killing in the name of would be fun to jam around with I think.
The one thing I've come to realize with all of the pedals in this series is that they would all be good for Sound Design and/or Video Game Soundtracks.
The telegraph and the spinner would both be really sweet as studio tools to route your DI tracks through post-recording rather than using as part of the actual pedalboard
Great video, as usual! Might be upper funniest ep IMO. The spinning tremolo pedal seemed to have a pretty bad, unsmooth transition from activated to deactivated and vice versa .. wonder why?
“I really liked it” is making me REALLY wanna buy the theory course
Watch what you say about Texas boy
Bilb Ono don’t you mean stupid
@@the_original_Bilb_Ono he was joking.

So the swarm is basically like a fuzz pedal on copious quantities of cocaine
Marthinus Steynberg ye
The fuzz was made on accident by a broken saturation effect, this must be a saturation broken in a few more ways than one.
*buzz pedal
its got that weird psychedelic honey made by bees sucking hallucinogenic flowers n stuff
@@InfraRedNeck 'Copious Quantities of Cocaine Would Make a Good Name For a Rock Band' would make a good name for a rock band.
“It would seem that olive oil is not a great conductor of electricity.”
Never though I’d hear that in one of these vids lol
Sounded sick tho
@@roryphillips57 I agree, sadly that box costs 150 bucks
I want that pedal so badly. You can get so many fuzzes or distortions
Very disappointed you didn't play jazz on the Bee pedal
2/10 not very Barry B Benson
io504 bb king?
@@hanreality.7266 wat?
*Ya like jazz?*
I want to be a bee but Sammy couldn't help me with that. 1/10
Or Jizz in that last pedal.
4:52 : Tom Morello wants to know your location
Strange how it sounds like something straight out of a RHCP song. Especially the melody
Caesar Salad it’s sounds really good too
Caesar Salad probably because he’s playing several dead notes
It just seems like an external killswitch
I was just thinking of this
That telegraph effects is straight up from tom morello's dream
True😂...
i thought it sounds a little like buckethead too
It's basicly just like a killswitch, but you can actually play while using it.
It’s a reverse kill switch. I need it.
It was kind cool tbh!!!
I like how the different liquids really produced a different sound. You could create a unique tone that requires an actual secret sauce!
I would've liked to hear something with a higher alcohol content, like whisky, vodka, tequila or something.
Rainger FX Minibar: for when you need that "Spunky" sound. (Actual "Spunky" Sound will void warranty.)
And yet, still no one with the balls to try it in a demo video. I actually find that weirder than the act itself.
@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer if I had the pedal I would do it. Maybe not necessarily show the act, as that's probably best suited for a different video platform, but the tone test should suffice.
Save the act for live gigs. If you're in studio you can get the engineer to "tweak" it.
@@guy_incognito "in the box" so to speak.
To get the creamiest tone you need to take some risks and void the warranty
that marshmellow pedal sounds like 90% of the mac demarco side of youtube
also you remind me of Judah from bojack horseman
Judah best character
@@matthijsblomjous3671 nah dude, fucking Rafiki is the one
@@matthijsblomjous3671 I exclaimed with joy upon the return of his character.
YES SAME
08:20 - Yeah... “Whizz” is what crossed my mind when they said bodily fluids void the warranty...
I actually liked the telegraph pedal really much. I think this can be used really creativly!
When you said bodily fluid i was really not thinking of pee
Bongo Cat yeah I was thinking breast milk
N U T
I can see a black metal guitarist making a blood sacrifice to this pedal on stage
@@Echin0idea tbh blood might sound cool because of its iron content.
@@am_chicken, iron? METAL!!!
You don’t need the bee pedal to get your guitar to sound like bees, you need a metal zone
Dorian Suchy you need a swarm of Metal Zones.
Are there people out there who unironically use a Metal Zone?
@@rolux4853 it was pretty common in some swedish death metal scenes back in the day
Not if you use it as the preamp it is
No you just need to kick your amp really hard
Honestly, when you mentioned the disclaimer about "bodily fluids", my brain immediately went to the idea of some emo band somewhere passing their guitar signal through the guitarist's blood.
Sounds more Norwegian black metal than emo
That would probably sound fuckin sick in the pedal though
Emo band would use their tears instead of their blood lol!!
That's just slipknot with less steps
honestly, i was thinking that too, that'd be sick
That telegraph stutter pedal looks incredible! I’ve wanted a pedal that gives that effect ever since I heard “True Nature” by Janes Addiction so many years ago!!!
Even after all these years, I still anticipate the Korg Miku Pedal in videos like this....
I believe that he actually reviewed it!
@@pp-wo9zk He absolutely did my man!
Yeah it was in one of the first ones he did.
7:48: "let's try olive oil"
*GORDON RAMSAY WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION*
WHERES THE DISTORTION SAAAAUCE!!!???
I think you mean Jamie Oliver, he puts olive oil on literally everything, it's become a running joke. I once saw him on a British TV show putting olive oil on _ICECREAM_ and claiming that this is done a lot in Italy, which sounds like a complete load of shite to me
K but imagine the Spinner but it getting blasted with compressed air to get maximum effect
Or attach a motor with a belt
Or just buy a multi-effects pedal....
This video makes me nostalgic for the beginning of coronavirus, when I started sleeping on the floor watching your vids til late at night... I am now doing the same thing, almost a year later. Not much has changed but still nostalgic
The Bee peda'sl "setting 1 'Bee yourself'" is essential for playing "Let The Good Times Roll" by The Cars.
I'm not a "big fan" of that tremolo expression pedal.
P.S. I should have watched that whole demo before I commented. His puns were better than mine.
The "Chuck Out Your TV" setting on the Marshmallow sounds like the automated pitch shifting effect on Muse - Map Of The Problematique!
I'm pretty sure that's a reference to Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Throw Away Your Television" that also uses an automated pitch shifter in the last part of the song.
@@m4ssee its a step sequencer actually
@@automaticwriting4345 True, I don't know what I was thinking.
Holy crap what is that strat? It looks amazing
@@brockmurphy1747 Looks like he swapped out the metal pickguard.
I was just about to comment this myself. That is probably the most gorgeous strat I've ever seen... neck to body to pick-guard. If this is a series, I'd really like to know the name, even though I'm not going to buy one.
I came to comments looking for the same answer lol
It's a Fender Rarities model. He did a whole video about it here: th-cam.com/video/2RLtPTrZkJI/w-d-xo.html
Imagine someone pouring Budweiser onto his pedal-board on stage
this is a collection of some of my favorite pedals, and now there's a really good demo i can send my friends. hopefully they appreciate your content
Just move onto made up words: “the shmaggeriest pedals!”
Every word is made up.

This is probably my favorite series for gear. Love seeing these weird pedals.
Ha. I just discovered and binged this series yesterday, and now there's a new one today. Perfect!
"I really liked it" with reviews like that I'll take 20.
I want that marshmallow one so bad. I could actually see myself writing stuff with it
I just recently got the marshmallow, super high tolerances on that thing, like it'll just break for no reason
Bruh imagine pulling up to gig and saying "hold up i forget my dishsoap" lmao
6:38 He's talking about me. I could really use that one on my pedalboard! And the Coppersound Telegraph is very cool as well.
I’d listen to an entire record consisting of extended versions of these little examples you make for each pedal.
The bee puns at the beginning 👌
"Chuck out your TV", I see what you did there, nice one :)
4:50 A friend of mine started making guitars a few years ago, and some of his guitars incorporate a button similar to this.
Just a little "nipple" on the body to disengage the signal on command.
TheAtb85 a killswitch
You mean a killswitch?
04:36 it's basically a killswitch but inversed
Could be cool if it had an opposit mode, which in it wuld cut the signal when pressed.
firstName lastName There is. That’s what the little switch is for. Rob Scallon has used one of these before and then went into detail on his second channel.
You read my mind
I'm impressed how you can get something musical from almost all these strange pedals. Nice work Sammy G!
if he hes gonna make his guitar sound like a bee, then the ONLY LEGAL piece to play is flight of the bumblebee at a very sAcrIleGiOuS tempo
Darn Ling Ling wannabes are everywhere nowadays!
"He hes"? Who are you, Michael Jackson?
Davie504 and TwoSetViolin references in 1 comment. Epico.
He's to dangerous to be left alive
His bit at 8:12 is comedy gold! "That's actually the first thing that entered my mind." Weaponized deadpan for the win!
synonyms for weird titles because i don't want this series to end: kooky, eccentric, natural, uncanny,outlandish
The setting names in the corner are priceless. That last pedal has to be annoying to use as a main effect.
Least impressive was the spinning thing. The concept is cool but implemented really badly imo. Everything else was pretty inspiring, I might even buy some of these.
It would be pretty cool as a studio tool. Route your guitar DI track through it and use it that way
@@seanlanders4180 What I didn't like is that the rate wasn't followed in real time, if the signal would slow down at the same time the spinner slows down it would have been cool, but it was just an on/off thing

I kinda liked the regular tremolo effect but that may just be me
@@ItsRevival I liked it too but that's more on the actuall tremolo pedal than the spinner pedal
6:16 when you stand up too fast and travel to the 6th dimension
Perfect for my worship band
Remember not to over play! Dont up-show the lord!
What?
Great video! I really enjoy your commentary,guitar playing and weird pedal demos!
That is the nicest strat I've ever seen

The Swarm pedal sounds something hidden under layers and layers of other instruments in a song by Daft Punk
what a gorgeous Fender strat here. OMG
Let's stop for a moment and appreciate this beautiful strat that Sammy G has. Damn it's pretty
Ooh! Love that telegraph pedal.
CHUCKKK OUUUTTT YOURR TELEVISISONNNN
why did no one get this yet
TIME TO MAKE THIS CLEAN DECISION
Yea was shocked it wasn’t a top comment tbh
PLEASE continue this soon so i can watch it under quarantine i need this channel 💪💪
That telegraph pedal is a reverse kill switch
A REVIVE SWITCH
IT'S ALIVE!
Dude! I love your tongue in cheek style, informative yet fun....and definitely not boring!

WEIRD HAH MANY SYNONYM
I like how there is a 'chuck out your tv' setting on the Marshmellow pedal.
Emulating Throw Away your Television by RHCP
"How about something unmusical and completely useless?"
Industrial artists: "Challenge accepted."
The last effect for the Marshmallow pedal sounded sooooo good
3rd one is just a reverse kill switch

What is that guitar 👀👀👀
"If you've ever wanted your guitar to sound like a swarm of bees, this is the pedal for you".

The swarm pedal sounds like the guitar soundtrack from the original doom

I watched all 4 ads because I like your content that much!! I was looking forward to seeing you at L&M this month.
not only loved the olive oil distortion, but also it has kind of a jack white vibe to it
That last one is kinda badass
This guy deserves way more subs than he has. He’s a fricken legend
6:22 is that a reference to “throw away your television” by rhcp?
Dude you Are one of the best teachers I've seen and am definitely going to give this a shot
5:08 pedal review ‘text’ is genius, along with the riff before hand! #KeepRockin
This Marshmellow pedal sounds just amazing. If you have no use for it, I'd be happy to buy it from you
I feel like this is your best video yet of testing crazy petals!!
And I would buy most of those this time.
Petition for request of a full song made by the telegraph stutter pedal. That little snip you played was SO DOPE!
the stutter one reminds me of mad season, the way you played
I really dig that telegraph pedal, will have to see about picking one up
Ooh, is that a solid rosewood neck on that Fender? Love solid rosewood.
That dark demo from the marshmellow pedal is the sound of a real crowd pleaser. The sort of a song that a band is best known for. Awesome!
Cool video!
The bee pedal was obviously for more melodic playing higher up. As apposed to lots of strummy, kinda low chords.
I mean tom morellos solo on Killing in the name of would be fun to jam around with I think.
make a whole song based on “chuck out your tv”
“Bright and happy” sounds more like the background music in my night terrors
That “Happy Good Times” setting is the best sound I’ve heard out of the Marshmallow. Full Stop.
That Strat is lovely Sam.
The one thing I've come to realize with all of the pedals in this series is that they would all be good for Sound Design and/or Video Game Soundtracks.
Great stuff!!!
The telegraph pedal is great, reminds me of the morese code in the lords of synth adult swim video
"Now let's try something dark and angry..."
*Player 2 presses START*
What a beautiful Strat! Is that a Fender? I didn't get to see the logo clear enough.
The telegraph and the spinner would both be really sweet as studio tools to route your DI tracks through post-recording rather than using as part of the actual pedalboard
using the telegraph pedal in a dual amp set where you have a distorted amp engaged when itspressed down
“Not to take a whizz into their pedal”
Yeah....that’s totally what I was thinking too
nice
Hmm I like the Arpeggiator setting of the Marshmallow... I wonder how that works / how much tweaking did you have to do?🤔
Great video, as usual! Might be upper funniest ep IMO. The spinning tremolo pedal seemed to have a pretty bad, unsmooth transition from activated to deactivated and vice versa .. wonder why?
the bee pedal is pretty awesome and the telegraph one too
