Digging the tones, my man! Also, from all of the demos I have seen of this pedal, yours is definitely at the top of the heap. And, you have a Tri Color Cav?!? We do, too 😊 - those dogs are THE BEST!!!

[@SamWittek]

Thanks so much man! 🙏🏻 And nice!! Yeah they're the best dogs, he always wants to make an appearance in these videos haha 😂

[@thetoneshepherd]

Best use of the Chroma Console I’ve seen for P&W hands down. Killer work bro!

[@SamWittek]

Thanks so much my man! 🫶

[@CornerstoneWorshipTutorials]

This is getting out of hand!!! 😂😂 Great work brother! Your tone is constantly improving🔥💪🏻

[@SamWittek]

Thanks dude!! 🙏🏻 Chroma Console definitely helps haha it's such a crazy pedal!

[@christiaanVS]

That reverse ice preset hits man!

[@SamWittek]

Thanks man! That's a super fun sound 🤘🏻

[@christiaanVS]

yeahh!

[@SamWittek]

🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@jamesledbetter2888]

Cool pedal! Back when you were playing the tele… how did u deal with the 60cycle hum… also were the pickups in that guitar stock?

[@SamWittek]

Thanks James! The 60 cycle hum honestly wasn't too bad with it. I think part of what helped a lot was upgrading electronics + pickups. I put in an Emerson Custom wiring kit and Porter Tele Customs pickups. Besides that, definitely recommend using an isolated power supply for your board. If it's still a problem, then I'll usually try to ride the middle pickup and/or volume pedal. Hope that helps!

[@jamesledbetter2888]

Thank you for the replay. Your videos have helped me a ton:)

[@SamWittek]

@@jamesledbetter2888 So glad to hear that! 🙌🏻

[@SalvatoreGenoa]

Hello, just a question because you have never used a multi-effects? And your sound is super!

[@SamWittek]

Thanks so much! I've used some multi-fx pedals in the past but not any time recently. I've been digging having so many great options in one pedal though!

[@Aevyn]

How are you liking the switch from bright single coil pickups to fuller sounding humbuckers?

[@SamWittek]

Loving the buckers so far! Doesn't mean I like the single coils any less, but I've definitely been digging the fuller sound recently 🤘🏻

[@chrisclark5135]

Sam is the Reverb effect you used throughout also from the Chroma as well, or was that in addition to the Chroma effects you highlighted?

[@SamWittek]

Pretty much all of the reverb you're hearing is coming from the Strymon Bigsky. The only Chroma Console preset that I built reverb into was the Huge Fuzz setting, which has some of the Space reverb sprinkled in

[@chrisclark5135]

@@SamWittek Perfect, thanks for the info!

[@joemiller9856]

Great tones Sam. What kind of guitar is that? Collins?

[@SamWittek]

Thanks Joe! It's a Citizen Guitars C2, just got it pretty recently! 🙏🏻

[@TitanCoach]

@@SamWittek - thanks Sam. Looks very nice. I couldn't make out the headstock that well. I could see it started with a "C" at least. LOL. - Joe

[@zeejonesy]

Bro that fuzz would be perfect for the parts for Lion

[@SamWittek]

For real! I was debating doing that song for the demo but ultimately landed on Icky Thump + Not Safe 🤘🏻

[@vaaalsongs4867]

Are you playing the pedal into an amp, or after?

[@SamWittek]

I have it before the amp!

[@winstonsmith8236]

so digital and tone-less. The effects overshadow the actual notes you're playing and it just sounds like shiny plastic.

[@SamWittek]

Well part of my approach to using the Chroma Console is FOR the effect, so it's intentional that it'd be more present. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts my friend!
