Studio Go Boom with Sylvia Massy - Ep. 2 (Germanium Transistors) | EarthQuaker Devices

- Let’s just reach into the cooler and… Sylvia is back at it, putting everyday items through the tests of tone! Everyday items being Park Fuzz Sound and Afterneath of course! You use these pedals every-dang-day, right? For those of you not in “the know”, Germanium transistors are sensitive to temperature and can yield varying tonal results depending on whether they are hot or cold. She knows this all too well and has decided to run a demonstration with a single Roland key tone into a Park Fuzz on ice, at room temperature, and also heated with a Conair. Afterneath is here simply for moral support and to remind you to get weird. Lest we forget to have FUN when we record! This exciting adventure in sound capture has been brought to you by your friend Sylvia Massy, who else!?

Can't wait for Ep 3: Sylvia deep fries a tube screamer.
Professor Sylvia Massy has long been my favorite-all us kids love these classes she teaches.
I always microwave my board for 33 seconds before hitting the stage.
I used to do that too, but it kind of got boring rehousing all my pedals in tupperware before the gigs
She really is the Bob Ross of audio engineering
She’s the coolest! A living legend, sound wiz, and sound design guru. Her collection is basically a functional museum... noise music, drones, chart-ready music- she’s a master of everything 🤘
impossible not to start smiling while watching this. sylvia massy is an absolute legend
Sylvia's ideas for unconventional recordings are inexhaustible. I simply love her ❤️.
This woman is a badass mad scientist , we need more people like her in this world.
GearSpace forum soon to discuss how the vintage hairdryer has a warmer tone than a modern one
Sylvia is awsome!
She's always so calming.
I could listen to her read the dictionary... but she makes SLAMMING SOUNDS!!
Dra. Sylvia is a wonderful, crazy, cientist of the sounds. I love this experiences so muchu, anda they always come with a large smile. Its crazy. Thanks from Brazil.
"The Frozen Fuzz"
She should have her own signature EQD pedal with that name.
This is why Norwegian black metal sounds so good.
anything with Sylvia is always so excellent!!!
This is one of the coolest video series I've seen in a long time. Can't wait to see more of these!!
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come
Silvia is a fucking mad music genius!
More everything with Sylvia & EQD ❤️ the best
Fantastic series Sylvia, can't wait to watch the next one... so kind for sharing these. You're such a legend !!
Thanks for watching!
Undertow is the best album of sylvia massy 👌🏻
She's SO epic. So much respect for her!!
when EQD first featured Sylvia video a couple of years ago? I was so impressed by her passion for the EQD pedals i decided to give them a try. Now my rig consists of two EQD always on pedals. Thanks Sylvia
and thanks, Manny!
Omg she is amazing :D
I see Sylvia, i click 'like' and watch. in that order, no questions asked. I was hoping there'd be a quick disclaimer about the dangers of electronics getting hot, but then i saw the huge grin as she got out the hair dryer and was like, 'whelp, Sylvia Massey gonna Sylvia Massey'. lol. great little video!
Loving these series
yay! thanks so much for tuning in!
Cool experiment! or cold experiment.lol. I did it w/ my Vox tone bender clone. sounded amazing on my guitar. the sustain almost had a phaser effect to it.
THis shirt is bonkers! I love it!
Sylvia's grin is so fucking infectious. I'd pay good money to just quietly be in the room while she makes machines scream.
Even the hair dryer looks sounding great !
So cool. Thank you Sylvia!
Fuzzy bagpipes.
People used to laugh about the idea of putting pedals in the freezer like it was a tall story, or one of those unicorn dust things that people imagine changes sound. I guess back in the Germanium early days a few probably did. Cool and groovy semiconductors. Semiconductor could be confusing suggesting they are only half conductive materials. Something to do with quantum states and being able to be conductive and then non conductive depending on current. Good for number crunching in binary apparently. Good for sound wave crunching too.
I have long wanted to built my own fuzz. But I found a local NZ fella who builds them the old way with the old bits. He is going to build me one with a proper old school Tone Bender enclosure he scored and is currently getting painted -- providing I remember to remind him I want it, so he does not sell it to somebody else. MKII with none of the mods for convenience etc. One built with modern parts and features probably sounds the same, but it would always bug me wondering if an exact replica sounds different.
I only want it for one thing. Wah and my Belle Epoch Deluxe to do Dazed And Confused sounds occasionally. The rest of the time I like a boosted JMP (I am going to install a mod that cascades my 1987's input stage to make it also be able to do the 2204 thing).
P.S. I wonder about that wireless Angus boosted his JMP amps with. Whether Superlead or 2203 he tended to use it. I read it is a compander. Apart from one very expensive gadget I saw, nobody seems to make a compander pedal that does what that wireless did to his sound. Surprising considering so many love that Angus tone. I also like hot ceramic pups and an overdrive boosting a 2203. Viv Campbell etc.
she's just the best. I want to record the end of the universe with her.
love her she's a legend! noise artists r taking notes from this
this is very COOL
That was awesome!
Straightaway I noticed the difference in colourisation in the bandpass filtering characteristics of the Germanium transistor but what was really interesting was hearing the colourisation shift during the re-heating process caused by the hair dryer. An amazing and rather unique envelope sweep of sorts.
Amazing!
Amazing! 🎶🎵💜
OMG this is so freaking awesome
Definitely needed this!! Great content!!
Glad you liked it!!
Very cool indeed!
Love you 😍 Sylvia !
The happiest lady of them all :)
Sylvia's mad-scientist look at 5:46 - love it!
Holy shit! I didn't know they made monitors that wide.
Wow! Pretty cool!👍🏾
Silvia is the coolest of the coolest.
Sylvia ROCKS!
I’ve been using the afterneath eurorack module in a similar way. It sounds great with guitar or synth drones, and adjusting the drag. The effect almost becomes the instrument, so freakin cool. Awesome demo
ugh what a legend !!!
Can't watch right now, just came to say: HECK YEAH!!!!
seen it by now so.... HECK YEAH!!!!!
omg this is sooooo great xD
Happy in her work.
I remember hearing Undertow when it first came out and was knocked over by the production. I had to find out who she was. Wasn't much info back then but as the internet came to life and started filling out I was able to read up on her. By far one of my favorite producers.
What a combo 🤯
Insanely smart, and I love insane.
Cool video!
she is the creator and the destroyer
haha after the pickle demo, I can't wait to see the hot dogs in action in the studio!
This lady is so likable
hermosa información muchas gracias
This woman is amazing
Freaking wild !
Wow! the sounds and textures you are getting are spectacular! Thanks Sylvia!
This is epic ! Glad they are not my pedals though 😂 I was clever this time, I Didn't miss my stop on the bus.
Only with Sylvia Massey do you not know if "We have some hot dogs, we'll use those later" refers to a meal or a "holy-shit-this-actually-works" audio experiment to come.
Edit: My money's on audio experiment
Love me some of that vintage fuzz
Nice!
Thanks!
She's such a cool cat 😎
really
Mrs. Sylvia give me a ton of Idea to experimenting
last time i use her technic are re-amp guitar using my lil' Mini Marshall and put it on 2 different place
1. on Wardrobe that full of my clothes
2. inside my oven (of course it's turn off)
thanks for always giving my crazy brain an idea, Ma'am!
The Jane Lynch of the studio world!!
I had a Zvex FatFuzz Factory that could be the best Drive pedal ever made, or the worst Boss Heavy Metal you ever heard.I have tried probably 100 Silicon and hybrid fuzzes ,trying to find a sound as good and as stable as Germanium alone, and am fairly convinced it just can't be done.( The(old) Dirt Transmitter is close.Ramble,Joe Gore and Basic Audio make some great circuits.)
Mostly, I use the Eruptor these days, and use other kinds of effects to vary it's output; at some point, you gotta stop fiddling with effects and write songs, - or not.Do what it takes to keep it engaging without becoming a drag.
Follow that bliss.
OMG SYLVIA ❤
Its like mechanical automation when she's heating the pedal to get different colours over time, very cool!
This is awesome, but I'm keeping my pedals out of the fridge, thanks 😅
That... good lord that is so fucking cool
ZVEX did this in their instagram a while back for their fuzz factory. Left the pedal out in the snow and claimed it sounded darker than room temp after. They also put it under intense heat and that made pedal sound more compressed. Not saying this is a copy of that but still always fun to listen to Sylvia Massey!
Find anything original and get back to us.
6:18 lawnmower mode engaged
This was... ...I don't know ...but I liked it!
❤️ these videos! *looks for Hair Dryer plug-in for Logic Pro*
I'm like... this is some Sonic Youth level stuff right here and then I go and check and sure enough shes mixed for them before.
I just put mine in the oven. Is that covered under warranty?
The oven or the pedal?
TRANSISTOR AL GERMANIO! FUZZ IS ALL YOU NEED! GRAZIE MAESTRA. I know the trick of the phone :) DANiELE :)
Love of my life
Prices of Hair-Dryers has just gone up.. coincidence? I think not.
omg that monitor!!!
Wow Oh My God!!!!
Personally I like to pan fry the pedal. It gives the sound a bit more crispiness.
Oh, Silvia, you mad nutter, I love you 😆🤣
I wanna have that much fun! 😊🕉☮️
It does not in any way surprise me for Sylvia Massy to have electronics-related plans for frozen hotdogs.
She's fun.
🤣🤣 dear mad queen 😍🥰
Who is she and why haven't I heard about her before. I like her pace. This is one of the coolest pedal vid ever.
Have you ever heard of google?
it's you're lucky day, she has tons of sick youtube vids
wait, you've never heard of Sylvia Massey? Prince? Tool? System of a Down? heard of them?
👍👍
Are those beef or pork hot dogs? I prefer the tone of pork, if biased properly.
Her joy in destroying audio is so contagious!
I’d love if she started an ASMR channel for pedal lovers.
I'm totally in love with this beautiful talented lady💕
She produced tool's undertow album
true
@2:30 instant Velvet Underground :-D
