I Had time to watch a few other demos before watching yours and it really became so obvious. It is with these damn sonic crazy pedals where most other players barely escape the noise realm that you reveal your true mastery. It is amazing how you can dive in these weird units and come up with so much musicality, it's chockingly astounding. I know it also because i got down a few times before with pedals you reviewed, revealing me sounds i needed to play with. But at the moment i was starting to tweak these it was just, Holy Spirits ! how does he acheive all this ! Then you also realize that it's not just a matter of talent, this is a huge amount of work too. Though it really worth the trip man. Thank you for showing us it is possible.
Oh my! Thank you so much for this incredibly kind comment, and thank your for acknowledging the amount of time and effort it takes to make these demos. I do spend a lot of time getting to know a product properly before I start filming anything, as I want to be able to relay the pedal's full potential to you all. Means a lot when all the hours and days that go into making these demos are appreciated on the other end of the screen ♥️
@@thepedalzone it's legit man. you do the entire scope of these products and the art they produce a huge service with your work. cannot overstate my appreciation.
Those damn devices. They always outsmart us and end up proving us wrong. We’re never ever really done 😂 EQD and DBA are a deadly awesome duo that will probably make many wallets shake and shiver
That one looks so cool. Wish I could get it to Europe and into my shop, but it’s a Reverb exclusive so far, from what I can see. Happy you liked the demo, bud. Your support always means a lot to me 🙏
Daaaaaamn. I had no idea this existed. As soon as I saw this on reverb, I bought it right away. Wish I had waited a little longer. Patience truly is a virtue. Lol happy jamming, dude.
Thank you so much, man! Really cool to hear that my demo is helping you to get more out of your Time Shadows. It's such a fun pedal. Very simple to use, but chock-full of sounds
Always looking for ways to put my expression ramper to good use and you illustrated that beautifully with this pedal! Purchased as soon as I finished watching.
Oh dude. These beautiful riffs that you play are always gives me goosebumps. Especially the last one you should definitely turn this into a song. Thanks for the awesome review.
Gorgeous sounds here. Wow. Stefan, you must stop making these videos. I want to buy every pedal you demo! LOL!! No, please do not stop. Your channel is by far my favorite pedal demo channel as you do it so much better than anyone else. I never miss an episode.
You’ve moved to drawers now? I’m only at shelf level myself. You’re a pro pedal collector, dude. I applaud and salute you and your storage options👏🙌😍Thanks for making me smile, bud and thanks for enjoying the video. I appreciate you 🙏❤️
Stefan, there are many times I'm on the fence about or think I'm not interested in a pedal until I hear you demo it. The unique sounds you're able to squeeze out of every pedal combined with your playing style are unmatched! Are you planning to demo the OBNE Expression Ramper X3? I'm curious to hear what you're able to do with it
Move over Boss TE-2 & Subdecay M3 (or Digitech Dirty Robot) - I just found a pedal that can do both. Unless i need stereo.. then the TE-2 & Robot win the day
I’m thinking this pedal should work very well with the bass guitar. Van Halen, Michael Anthony’s freaked out bass solo segment on Live Without a Net comes to mind.
Thank you! It's a Balaguer Espada Ambient. All of the gear I use is always listed in the video description, if you're ever in doubt about what I use :)
You can buy it at their Red Creek online store. That’s what I did 😊 Of course don’t know if they have it in stock anymore, but that’s probably the best way to get whatever Cult of Luna merch you want shipped within the EU
It's not available through my shop in the US, since I only serve the EU at the moment. But you can of course get it directly from EQD and a ton of retailers in the US. Honored you wanted to support the TPZ Shop though, and stoked to hear you enjoyed the demo :)
I have no idea. I seriously know nothing when it comes to music theory. But it's just melodic/arpeggio variations over D Bm A and G Bm A. Happy you enjoyed it though. Means a lot!
You just move the knob you want to assign to expression. So plug in your expression device, move the knob you want to assign (doesn't matter how much, just move it a bit) and then you're ready to express whatever it is you want to express. It's all explained in the manual :)
Don't know the exact milliseconds. But I have the delay time maxed out in the final example in the demo. So that should give you an idea of how long it can get.
Not in a band at the moment, but I've been in a couple over the years. They don't necessarily sound like me, since it's a band effort and not a me effort, but you're welcome to check them out on your favorite streaming services. "Sky Architects", "Cloud Anthems" and "Don't Come Looking For Us". Also released a video last year here on the channel called "The Pedal Zone Soundtrack" where you can hear all of my compositions from 2023.
That's a proper old school flanger sound, loved it. But the synth strings sounded horrible, sorry! Not a fan of that at all. And mind blowing? Nope. That's about as mind blowing as smoking banana skins. I honestly don't understand the hype. 😉
We all prefer different things and different sounds, and that's totally okay. I love everything that sounds different and synthetic. I'm happy you enjoyed the flanger sounds though.
@@thepedalzone expensive shit is rarely worth it, not into paying money because of a name🤣🤣🤣is rather support someone who does something well and charges a fair price,capitalism over consumerism always kiddo
@@HAHb-zc2dp - I think EQD and DBA do exactly that. Well crafted and unique products at a fair price from companies who treat their employees well and pay them fairly.

For sure I couldn't agree and relate more hahaha
Just when I thought I was out…
We've all been there, mate 😅
You and me both buddy
Love the OBNE on the expression
Your Mode was just calling for some LFO sweeps. That filter is so rad. One of the most unique and characterful filters I’ve heard
At 1:20 love this sounds for intro for doom or heavy and dark riffs...
Really versatile and it's sounds really good.
Heck yeah. Almost has a Hanz Zimmer-esque quality to it, like the massive horns used in Inception :)
@@thepedalzoneI was thinking about Like Clockwork Orange
A great pedal to produce massive esoteric dark sounds. That's the audio I'm looking for. One more time, I must say thanks Stefan! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
look into the blood moon reverb pedal. super eerie sounding reverb
Happy you enjoyed the sounds, buddy. This thing definitely excels at everything dark, esoteric and moody.
Stefan, you can make MUSIC for any pedal! Love your musical feeling
Awwww! Thank you
Stefan the Wizard - at it again !💫
Awwwww! You’re too kind ❤️❤️🧙♂️🪄
Just ordered the cyberpunk variant. Amazing demo, man!
That one looks so cool. Wish I could get it to Europe and into my shop, but it’s a Reverb exclusive so far, from what I can see. Happy you liked the demo, bud. Your support always means a lot to me 🙏
Daaaaaamn. I had no idea this existed. As soon as I saw this on reverb, I bought it right away. Wish I had waited a little longer. Patience truly is a virtue. Lol happy jamming, dude.
What an amazing demo. Glad I ordered the cyberpunk edition. Beautiful playing and thanks for your contributions to the community.
Cheers, man! Happy you enjoyed the demo. And congrats on the Cyberpunk edition. It looks crazy cool
This thing really opens up with the expression ramper.
Sure does! Expression Ramper is the best utility device ever made
@@thepedalzone Agreed! I have the Dark light coloration of it. So far, surprisingly, I like it on the Boss DD-8 the best.
So glad you got ahold of this pedal so quickly! I really want one for bass
I'm sure it's super fun on bass. EQD mode is gonna sound massive
I was hoping for this
Great, because here you have it! :)
You do a great job of demonstrating pedals.
Thank you! That’s so kind of you ❤️🙏
Yeah! Cult of Luna!!!! 🤘🤘🤘
The best band!
Best pedal demo by far on this pedal! Thank you!
Gosh! What a cool comment to receive. Thank you! ❤️
You’re welcome. Have a good one and I look forward to more demos from you!
Agreed.
Great review, very comprehensive. Now i understand this pedal much better, and i am enjoying it more every day
Thank you so much, man! Really cool to hear that my demo is helping you to get more out of your Time Shadows. It's such a fun pedal. Very simple to use, but chock-full of sounds
3 minutes in and I'm already incredibly impressed. This thing is going to inspire some godly music!
Cool to hear you're excited about the sounds!
Some really beautiful playing here.
Thank you so much!

Thank you very much, man! Extremely kind of you 🥰
You really get beautiful sounds from these pedals
Awwww! Thank you
What an incredible pedal!!! Thanks.
Happy you like it! :)
Dude, can you post your guitar collection? You have some of the most gorgeous guitars I've ever seen
I actually have been playing around with that idea. So maybe it needs to happen sooner rather than later :)
Sweeheat!
Both the playing & the pedal! As well as he 2 companies! as well as this channel!
Thaaaaaanks ❤️❤️❤️
Excited to pair this with my rainbow machine with dual expression pedals and watch the madness unfold.
Definitely sounds like a good ol' psychedelic time :)
Phew good job one this one, beautiful sounds and melodies
Oh boy! Thank you so much 🙏
Gorgeous sounds here. Wow. Stefan, you must stop making these videos. I want to buy every pedal you demo! LOL!! No, please do not stop. Your channel is by far my favorite pedal demo channel as you do it so much better than anyone else. I never miss an episode.
Your channel is a conspiracy to make my wallet empty and my pedal drawer full (yes I keep them in drawers because there are too many now) 😵💫
You’ve moved to drawers now? I’m only at shelf level myself. You’re a pro pedal collector, dude. I applaud and salute you and your storage options👏🙌😍Thanks for making me smile, bud and thanks for enjoying the video. I appreciate you 🙏❤️
@@thepedalzone it's most about keeping the dust away
Very beautiful musical examples-on their own. Subscribed.
Thank you so much for the kind words and sub. Means a lot ❤️🙏
Mind-bending demo, Stefan! Thanks for another amazing review! Thanks to your channel I no longer remember what it feels to save money haha
Awwww! Thanks for all the sweet words. Means a lot to me that you enjoyed the demo 🥰
this effect is so beautiful, great job!!!
Thank you so much!!
Fantastic!
Thank you! 🙏
Gonna snag it for sure
Heck yeah! Cool to hear you dig it
Oh my god someone needs to cover "wrong" by Depeche mode with this

Great job as usual making actual music with your pedal review s
Thanks, man! Appreciate it. It's always about the music :)
Insane playing as always buddy
Thank you very very much!
Hey man, thanks for another cool pedal show. HOLY CRAP that thing is weird! :)
My pleasure! Happy you enjoyed the weirdness 😊
Woooah this thing sounds crazy
Yeah, it's wild!
Cult of Luna 🔥🔥🔥
Yaaaassss 🔥🤘
You can hear the Rainbow Machine influence on this pedal in the ! mode which is really cool
Definitely some lovely sonic rainbows being unleashed there :)
The shirt 🔥
Yeah, I'm happy I wore a shirt as well 🤣😂 Jokes aside, Cult of Luna is just the best band
Great now I can sell my rainbow machine!!
Nice
Thanks, man!
OK, you just sold me. Now where do I get your album cause I want the pedal and your music
Honored to hear you enjoyed the tones and tunes so much 🥰
Reminds me a bit of a more delay-focused misty caves which has always been a Grail of mine.
Definitely think you should be able to get some Misty Cave tones in DBA mode when using short delay and higher feedback settings
you're that channel that i'm afraid to open. i know i shouldn't but i can't help my fix
Come to the delay side. We have infinite feedback! :D I'm honored to hear you enjoy the demos so much
I got one and I always wanted a Earthquaker ahh, the pink one, this is better
Happy you like it :) The pink one is called Rainbow Machine
Move over Boss TE-2 & Subdecay M3 (or Digitech Dirty Robot) - I just found a pedal that can do both.
Unless i need stereo.. then the TE-2 & Robot win the day
I’m thinking this pedal should work very well with the bass guitar. Van Halen, Michael Anthony’s freaked out bass solo segment on Live Without a Net comes to mind.
Darth Vader was a consultant on this pedal 😂
Luke, I am your phaser! This joke would have worked better if Time Shadows had been a phaser pedal, but this is all I got for now 😹
Death by Earthquake!
The ultimate pedal brand!
Great demo!
What is the name of the guitar that you’re using?
Thank you! It's a Balaguer Espada Ambient. All of the gear I use is always listed in the video description, if you're ever in doubt about what I use :)
What guitar is that? The binding on an offset looks amazing.
It's a Balaguer Ambient Espada. Stunning instrument
You gotta pair this with the dark light!!
Definitely sounds like a fun time :)
Cult of Luna
You can buy it at their Red Creek online store. That’s what I did 😊 Of course don’t know if they have it in stock anymore, but that’s probably the best way to get whatever Cult of Luna merch you want shipped within the EU
@@thepedalzone ahhh, my bad - I was referring to the black Time Shadows. 😅
but yes, I should also order something from Red Creek to compensate.
This is awesome! Is it available in the US?
It's not available through my shop in the US, since I only serve the EU at the moment. But you can of course get it directly from EQD and a ton of retailers in the US. Honored you wanted to support the TPZ Shop though, and stoked to hear you enjoyed the demo :)
What chords are you playing in the flanger echo demo? That shit is beautiful
I have no idea. I seriously know nothing when it comes to music theory. But it's just melodic/arpeggio variations over D Bm A and G Bm A. Happy you enjoyed it though. Means a lot!
@@thepedalzone lol I am the exact same way so I totally get it. But yeah that was awesome I would buy an album of stuff like that
Cult of Luna!!!
The best! :)
How did you assign the filter knob to the expression ramper? It comes with the exp assigned to the span
You just move the knob you want to assign to expression. So plug in your expression device, move the knob you want to assign (doesn't matter how much, just move it a bit) and then you're ready to express whatever it is you want to express. It's all explained in the manual :)
What is the longest delay time on this thing? THe manual says nothing about it. Can I do a textured rhythmic dubby weird delay?
Don't know the exact milliseconds. But I have the delay time maxed out in the final example in the demo. So that should give you an idea of how long it can get.
@@thepedalzone thank you so much
Great pedal demo man!!! is it possible to add a tap tempo pedal on the right?
Happy you enjoyed the demo. Means a lot to me. No, I don't think it's possible to use the expression port as a tap tempo.
I think a POG2 with some delay and distortion would do much better
Do you release any songs? You in a band?
Not in a band at the moment, but I've been in a couple over the years. They don't necessarily sound like me, since it's a band effort and not a me effort, but you're welcome to check them out on your favorite streaming services.

Sounds like my boss ps3
got one! serious s#$t !!!
did anyone try this on bass yet?
I believe you can hear it on bass in EarthQuaker Devices' own official demo
Seriously?!?!? 5 30 second ads...I'm done...

Always good to know what you like and don't like. I like jarring sounds :)
Not a fan
i would love to hear this thing in the fx loop of a Superego
Now that definitely sounds like a lot of fun 🔥
bought to make some guitar-based slushwave
Slushwave? Sounds like my kind of genre :D
Far too expensive for me
