I discovered this as a stoned teenager and thought I’d unlocked an inter-dimensional portal. I remember the whammy pedal in particular was totally crazy sounding.
This is a great video. I’ve used a delay pedal in the past to make some funky sounds but I never knew you could basically make a fully functional modular synth table from pedals. Wicked!
Very cool idea . Would have been fun to see it paired with drum machine. Chords are ok but a simple beat really let’s the weird sounds shine without needing harmony.
Wait do you mean like putting the drum machine in the chain or to substitute the amp with the drum machine and route the chain of pedals into the drum machine input?
Super ! I love your channel, you already helped me improve my guitar sound with your video on flangers, I copied your settings on the OD-3 before the BF-2 (I happen to have the same pedals as yourself) and it made a big difference !
Just tried this with a Whammy into a Muff. If you set the Whammy to the octave up and down harmony mode you can get a violin type sound as you hit the sweet spot with expression pedal.
You can do that no input synth thing with a mixer also. Simon the Magpie has a video showing that kind of stuff. All the eq knobs affect the tone and you can use pedals there as well. I like how vocal the filtering in the Phaser sounds.
You can do this with pedals that have multiple outputs, rather than into the amp and out. The Digitech Bad Monkey has an amp output and mixer output. You just patch from the mixer output into the input, and out of the other output you have your self-oscillation. Everything else works like the way you explained in the video. Nice work!! I would love to hear what sounds could be gotten from using some exotic reverbs on full wet. You could get some more mellow sounds by doing that and reducing the volume.
Hi, I use pedals for soundscape, most of the digitech dirt pedals have this feature. I have 4 now, as our Lord Josh Scott showed us, the Bad Monkey is a superior Tube Screamer clone because the eq is better. The digitech hot head is a DS-1 clone, with, Yep, a better eq. The Death Metal is a HM-2 I beleive, I think the eq is the same though, but you have the extra output and cab sim function, that all those era digitech dirt have, I beleive you hold down the footswitch whilst connecting the power. I think the mixer output has the sim on it, you'd have to look it up. I have the Digidelay and the Turbo Flange as well, the delay has cab sim, but the extra socket gives you ping pong delay!
Schweet broh. Exactly the video I was looking for. Have an old intercom i think will work as a mixer/3 octave keyboard. An old turbo chorus pedal, and an old crystal oscillator from a work truck radio. I have no idea, but I am pretty stoked. B Thanks for the inspiration.
I just looked at the Superb variety of excellent subjects you've chosen for your channel and after seeing your truly talented playing ability especially while demoing gear, well...I just HAD to subscribe. Thanks for the really useful educational vids; they're like training lessons!
MIKE BANFIELD, have you tried taking the effects loop SEND and then connected that to the fenders amplifiers TREMOLO Channel input#1, while the guitar is plugged into the NORMAL channel input#1. You can also try making a video lesson about both of these sets ups, but also try connecting the guitar pedals backwards in this circuit bent setup because they will oscillate when the output port is now the feeding an INPUT signal through the output port. Try make a video about this
this is up my alley. Akin to "no-input-mixer" approach to synthesis/sound design. I didn't know you could do this. What does the amp input being patched into the pedal input do, in terms of lay-person's explanation of the electronics?
Never would have thought to do this but it seems so simple and obvious now that you've walked us thru it. What inspired you to use the amp as a sound source for the pedals? My bandmate/ friend Ryan still asks me which side is the input sometimes ... I mean bro.
This is really crazy. I was wondering this is just self loop that generates sound (from noise ? idk), but what if you add your guitar signal into the loop?
@@MichaelBanfieldGuitar I know I'm late but, I'm also curious about this. Could you put the y splitter in the fx loop with the pedals you want to oscillate while keeping your guitar and other pedals in a normal chain?
Glad they enjoyed it. I have a two year old myself, I can't imagine having two of her! I'll make sure to include my rendition of wheels on the bus for the next pedal demo.
Thats how they have been creating noise music (might be called antimusic) for a long time, eg. Merzbow, Masonna and similar acts. Bunch of guitar pedals and analog synths connected to a loop and a guy screaming into a microphone.
My girlfriend who was in another part of the house while I recorded this, asked me later if I'd seen anything going in the street because she kept hearing sirens... oops
the phaser+termolo sounds like a arp sequencer lol really cool

I haven't actually tried a whammy with this, I can only imagine it would be beautiful carnage!
Track at the end was really brilliant
Thank you!
dont tell radiohead
Thanks for this great idea. And that you put the whole thing into a musical context at the end is really great!
This is a great video. I’ve used a delay pedal in the past to make some funky sounds but I never knew you could basically make a fully functional modular synth table from pedals. Wicked!
Very cool. Sounded like a Manzanera / Eno jam at the end. Thanks for the inspriation!
This is the tidiest noise show I've ever been to

@@probindemufhoes42069 I believe they just mean as an accompaniment instrument
@@epiphonium actually its a fantastic idea, you clearly just have that small of a mind
Cool Sterelolab vibes!
Thanks! Stereolab are great.
FINALLY! an instrument that is easy enough that i can actually play it!
Lol me too
Are you a drummer?

That's brilliant to hear! Glad you found it useful and thanks for commenting.
Finally, a useful application for fx pedals
That is goddamn amazing, could recreate any weird intro/outro ever with that trick
Yeah, when I used this live, it was for an intro. Works well

Nice coffee and tv solo at the end!
You can get faux sample hold sounds with the boss delay dd20 in reverse mode, even some ring mod sounds.

Wow, awesome video.
As a synthesizer guy I can totally relate 😀
Great video. That last clip had a graham coxon feel to it. Will definitely be trying this out
That has to be worth a sub for every person who watches this.
Very cool !
what I have found is fun is going into a reverb, pitch shift and looper after the looped pedals and then layering them -
Amazing ! Love it ! Thanks for all the useful tips 🤩
Ha ha! I was smiling the whole way through! Must try!
Oh man my neighbors are going to hate me..Thank you!
dope at the end there!
Getting your inner Beck on, I see!
Hi, loved the idea!! I'm pretty confident that this concept was used in the song Car Crash by IDLES
You need a zvex fuzz factory, one of the few pedals with a stability control, it can be played like it was a synth
I do need that pedal! I've wanted one of those for ages...
@@MichaelBanfieldGuitar I bought a clone on eBay for £50

Wow!!! Is like the reaktable thing
That's a lot of fun! There's definitely potential there for helping a player make the connection to today's music.
awesome video! I didn't know this was possible... that last jam sounds like something Blur would've done...
Thanks! Yeah I think Blur might use something like this setup for some of the sounds on the song Essex Dogs...

Tremolo and vibrato pedals with square wave options on the lfo’s would give a sequenced vibe.
Idk why but that eq pedal made me giggle
Really wild - thanks!
Great idea - and loved the final piece. Thanks!
Bro invented modular synthesis
Excellent video
sounds like Doc Brown’s amp for Marty McFly
Thurston and Lee sounds.
How to annoy your parents 101😂
Wow! Thanks for posting, super interesting!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! 😂
Total eclipse...of the mind!
This is amazing!
3:07 "A Glitch Supreme...A Glitch Supreme..."
HA HA I just tried it with my Boss OD-20 in my Marshall lead 12! I got all the sounds!!
Brilliant.
great!
Subscribed!
Always a great video .Thanks
So that's how the Gilla boys did it..
That is so cool!
Lol, i had no clue about this 🤣
3:57 _a tween superfan has entered the chat_

Yes lets make a keyboard out of guitar Pedlas 🥳
Now I wont have to save up a few grand to get a Moog synthesizer...LOL! Zillion thumbs up!!!! 😀😃😄😁😆😋🥰😍🤩😇🤗💯💥👍👍👍👍👍💪.
Emoji overload! Thank you!
cool!! synth!
🎸👍I did it aiready inv1979, and with all EHX and MXR devices, but is easy with a therrmim, if you want🤪💃

Bruh this is such a cool idea. I gotta find someone with a slicer pedal!
6:30 sounds a little like the temporary secretary sound from McCarntey III
Ok got it.
get a BOSS slicer SL2 and a multi pitch/occ drone with filter knob
i do all this with a digitech whammy and heavy gain and a delay pedal, with just one input
A DD-3, a Rat, and a PH-2. Did you sneak into my house and use my pedals?
Just wow...
Nice🎉

The EQ sounds like an Otamatone
Michael, thanks for making this video. It's pretty cool. I was wondering if you can get a theremin sound this way. Like the ending of Good Vibrations?
Never would have thought to do this but it seems so simple and obvious now that you've walked us thru it.
What inspired you to use the amp as a sound source for the pedals?
My bandmate/ friend Ryan still asks me which side is the input sometimes ... I mean bro.
that sounded like something straight outta 13 by blur
Is there a pedal to get a vibraphone tone? Thanks
Would this work with 2 amps?
I expected you to use the step phaser for a sample hold sound
This is really crazy. I was wondering this is just self loop that generates sound (from noise ? idk), but what if you add your guitar signal into the loop?
Interesting idea! Maybe mix the guitar signal in parallel using a pedal like the Boss Line Selector or something, hmm...

Toss a Boss Slicer 2 in there and it would go fkn bonkers lol
Cool, but for some reason, my neighbours didn't like the audio in this video.
Something to mess around when you're completely bored and got nothing else to do.

Industrial metal bands be like: 0____0
Sounds like stereolab
you have a lot of time, dude...
For actually use in music i think it needs a keyboard to pitch notes to 440Hz
i need a dual input plug with 1->2 and a pedal style foot switch to change output channels 😅
Careful with stuff like this or Bethesda will contract you to make soundtracks for their games then never pay you
whyy
