Do any of these have programmable presets? The chroma is fine but if I get a sound I like but have to bounce away to get a useable sound can I get back to it? Same with the deca. I find I'm needing 4 different delays and not enough pedalboard real estate for 4 different delays.
The thing that always gives me trepidation about videos like this is the fear that if I buy all the pedals everyone else buys I’m gonna sound just like everyone else, which is my least favorite thing
@@Turtlpwr I totally get that and I had that mindset before too but it’s how YOU use the pedal. Ya know? Almost ALL of these effects have been around for a long long time. It’s just reused stuff that gives you sooo much more tonal options and can actually help you not sound like others!
Well bro you just pick and choose what you want from each person's rig. You can also take the pedal one person has and do something totally different with it. The only time you're gonna sound exactly the same is if you use the entire exact chain with the exact same guitar. I can promise you this same pedalboard through a different amp with a different guitar is gonna be different enough. That's not even getting into amp settings/speakers/tubes/captures, guitar settings/pickups/strings, and pedal settings. There's only so many pedals out there, and only so many ways to be "different". Don't stress about being different, don't stress about copying someone, just do what you think sounds good. No one is gonna say "wow you sound exactly like that one youtuber who did that one video on pedals". You'll be fine brother
Have you played the Deco V2? I’m also slightly obsessed with that pedal but I’m in the mindset of ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ so I haven’t upgraded but am I missing something?
well, you got a point. most of em are expensive beauties. i dont mean to come across like that jerk know it all sales guy in a store who refused to sell me a polyphonic synth trying to force me to get a monophonic to learn proper synthesis but: having demoed pedals at trade shows my experience with noobs is: they dont yet hear the difference … chroma console is complex. fun. maybe turning a knob and shit happens is enuff, but id advise getting a 2 knob compressor, a pleasent medium drive (blues driver odr mini) , ge7 most importantly an analog delay first. line6 m5 for finding out wich mods are liked and exploring other fx. tc flashback ii. got mine for 80. some holy grail or hall of fame. if noobs spend half a year with that theyll approach chroma console in a whole other way. the deco too.
Really good overview, thanks! I have the Deco - love it, I came up recording to tape (including having 2 1/4 inch Studers in the studio to ADT with!) and I think Strymon have excelled themselves with this one. Also familiar with some of the later UA stuff - tasty reverb, indeed! That Chroma thing definitely looks like almost too much fun! Just a couple of my own personal favourites to throw into the loop in case you haven't tried them - Effectrode Blackbird 12AX7 Vacuum Tube Pre-Amp Pedal and the Crowther Double Hot Cake (Paul is a friend from way back, I've used Hot Cakes since he started making them in the late '70s). Cheers.
@@MattKellyMusic Yea, I am sure you can....but not on Reverb right now! I think its a super popular pedal thats gonna hold its value. The Deco and Volante are tied for 1st for the favorite pedal I own.
@@pcurryii it was a run on sentence. Saying what inputs and outputs it has… including midi, and it’s also a stereo pedal… lol that’s the only the thing you took from this video?
For drives I feel I would prefer a hot tubes or walrus 385 for a more unique sounding drive.
Dude you sold me on the Chroma already haha
@@nickguitarfiorentino 😂😂😂

cool add ons man! thanks for watching!
Could you tell us where console is in your board? Because I can’t understand where to put it in my board with different drives, boosters and delay.
@@Sea_Dove after my drives, but before my reverbs and delays
3:54 Nope, still gonna run you $400 unless you find a deal local. Solid group of pedals, especially the best pedal ever made (Deco v2).
@@masterofreality230 I was saying a used one might be less than $400! But the deco rules!
@@MattKellyMusic Yea, I am sure you can....but not on Reverb right now! I think its a super popular pedal thats gonna hold its value. The Deco and Volante are tied for 1st for the favorite pedal I own.
Never heard of some of these. Great vid!
@@81realtime glad you enjoyed 👌👌
4:11 "it has midi in and out so you can run it stereo"
Not sure I follow what midi has to do with stereo?
@@pcurryii it was a run on sentence. Saying what inputs and outputs it has… including midi, and it’s also a stereo pedal… lol that’s the only the thing you took from this video?
@@pcurryii and I never said “so” it’s like, “it has midi ins and outs, you can run it stereo, etc…
5:17 there's no such thing as too much reverb
FINALLY someone who understands me...
@@MattKellyMusic *puts a huge nasty fuzz BETWEEN a long delay and a shimmer reverb and dissapears for 4 days*
A Rainbow Pedal 🌈, how appropriate for you…🙄
@@jamiemorgan4146 care to explain?
Your audio is clipping pretty hard! But these pedals are awesome!!
Yeaaaah I messed up on that for this video ahaha, pushed the mic to hard. Thanks for watching!
@@MattKellyMusicyou should record the guitar direct to an interface/DAW. It’s underselling the quality of your video and playing!
@@LP-123 I do that, I just had it cranked on accident on the interface ahaha
