Just because something has a USB port doesn't mean that it's for power. I have the Mini Universe and a number of Cuvave (same company... Shenzhen Grand) stompboxes myself...and they never sound like that because I use the DC inputs with isolated multi-out supplies. The USB ports, surprisingly enough, are actually supposed to be digital audio outputs. You CAN power them with it...but then you have to deal with the trashy DC one often finds on these. Note also that the Cube Whatever has a separate audio USB connector. In this case, the best bet is to charge the internal LiON pack before use and go all 1970s old-skool on battery. But if you really gottagottagotta power these via USB, your USB cable needs a toroid or some similar ferrite device. Make sure the center hole is big enough for a couple of turns of the USB cable, wind that on with a couple of passes thru the ferrite or toroid as close as possible to the output connector on the device, then plug it in...and like Dave Gahan's smack habit says, "Enjoy the Silence". ANYTHING powered by USB that passes audio should use that tactic. Yep, anything. You're using the inductor there to strip out the digital hash and ONLY leave the DC at the connector to the device. Frankly, I do that with ALL DC inputs in my live and studio setups because it simply works and lets me keep my mind on my music, instead of forcing me into a situation where I have to hunt down the crud source and fix it on the fly. As far as Chinese pedals are concerned, though...I use a pile of them alongside a bunch of others from Yogyakarta to Tacoma and back again. The Chinese stuff has very different sweet spots when compared to what they're replicating...and that keeps my working process on its toes, which then opens up new sonic possibilities. Very worthwhile!
The noise from the pedal is digital power noise coming through the USB cable from the computer or switching power supply. Try the 9V power and that noise will probably go away.
That noise will go away if you use a dedicated plug into a dedicated outlet. I thought mine was defective, too, but it isn't. Sort of a pain though to have to do that, but it works.
It also doesn't like sharing a power supply with other pedals. I've seen both 100mA and 300mA power draw in sales listings so I stay safe and just give it 500. I haven't had any problems with digital noise or popping sounds. It's a great sounding pedal for the cost but I don't use it very often because the build quality is not great. The selection knob feels loose compared to the Boss RV-6 and the Joyo Atmosphere. The Joyo pedal has the sturdiest feeling knob of all my verbs despite the Boss being twice the combined cost of the others.
@@frankstetka7206 yeah I have a handful of Joyo pedals. I like the Atmosphere that I mentioned and the Aquarius delay. The Orthos line selector is a lot of fun too because you can run signal chains in parallel. I have the Voodoo octave fuzz which I've been using with a Boss SL-2 Slicer, DD-8 delay and a Wampler Terraform to make faux synthesizer sounds that almost sound like 16 bit video game tunes.
The funny thing is, you're doing a video about TEMU's products even though they are technically not sponsoring you. TEMU is still getting similar exposure and advertising that they would with a sponsorship, but for free without paying Ed.
I considered not making the video at all but when I came to the decision of turning down the sponsorship I had already put a ton of hours into planning and shooting… so I finished it anyway. Plus it’s a fun video!
yall remember when mr. portnoy rocked out on a hello kitty toy drum kit and slayed it? it's about what you do with a toy instrument, and just about all of these look like a blast to play with
Really cool video! The noise of the guitar pedal was likely a ground loop, which was caused by using a usb cable connected into possibly your pc instead of a 9 volt battery (if the pedal has a 9v battery slot.)
That hum with the first pedal is often a result of being plugged into a computer at the same time as a USB. Try it without a USB hooked up (like just between guitar and amp).
Dude, been watching you since a while, and you popped up the non-subscribed viewers percentage I smashed that subscribe button. I LOVE your content, and you make me want to start music production.
The noise that the reverb pedal is making is coming from your computer, not the pedal itself. Unhook the USB connection and connect it directly to a 9V power source and that noise will go away.
I did't buy from TEMU, but I got a M-VAVE Bluetooth wireless 5-pin w/ USB dongle off eBay for $15. It works flawlessly and allowed me to play my Moog iOS app with an old 90's Casio 61 key keyboard. Unfortunately, I broke my current iMac's bluetooth whilst rebuilding it, (doh!) and I haven't gotten around to trying the M-VAVE usb dongle yet. Parenting is real. If it works? I'm thinking about connecting it to my Roland TD-6v drum module.
That cheep electronic toy keyboard is a varient of the my music center keyboard system, which uses basic single cycle wave forms and a few samples played on a simple chip originally ment for speech and basic music. That particular one is a more non standard varient.
Use a Noisegate for pedal noise. It's another kind of pedal. Put it at the end of your signal chain. I've had a few, the one Im currently using is Boss NS-2 Noise suppressor
I think the "Cube Baby" gizmo is fantastic. I bought one a couple of years back. I liked it so much I ordered a second one to future proof things a bit. I use it on most of my recordings and for the player on a budget I don't think you could do much better.
They released an upgraded version earlier this year called Tank-G. It's worth checking out since it has better amp sims, a noise gate, more choices of effects, and amp profiling like a tonex pedal.
Yo Ed I actually had this 8:26 toy keyboard when i was a kid there is sound called ghost/spooky sound i can't remember it very much but you can actually create some fire samples with that sound btw I am also trying to become a music producer in the upcoming year and i love your videos ❤❤❤
that first guitar play on that third item with that effect reminded me Diablo 2, imean, there is a track or two in that game with that kinda effect or sound, likeit a lot :)
I got the M-Vave Mini Universe and it's great. I got 0 noise with the right power. The sounds from it are out of this world, and could only be compared to Strymon products which cost 10 times more...
You have a point. By the way, I have seen where some people have complained about how many of the 61-key keyboards did not have line out. If they did, it would be purely cometic. It would only be an alternate routing of the headphone output. They would not add separate circuitry for line output. It is what it is.
That last keyboard was definitely eye opening especially. As a music producer myself, I've been networking and hearing from other producers that you want to use quality sounds. But this shows, it's how you use the sound and not the quality at times. Do you make music?
The noise on the first pedal is probably the USB power supply (and the fact you are also conecting the audio cables, which probably form some sort of ground loop that makes the noise worse)
Did you try the multifx pedal on any synths? I've almost bought a bunch of pedals off there (including both in the video) but wasn't sure if they'd work with line level inputs well enough
Anything you test that includes a ‘mix’ or ‘balance’ control, you should always begin with it as ‘dry’ as possible. That way, we can tell exactly what is being added to or altered about the original signal. As you know, something like reverb can go from a barely detectable but amazing enhancement to a ridiculous down-a-well perversion no one is going to like simply by incorrect use of the control of the ratio of direct signal-to-modified-signal. Higher-end units often had ‘processed signal only’ outputs so that they got their own separate channel on the mixer with all of the resources that brings with it - like input attenuation, choice of hi-z/low-z input, volume fader, EQ, output assignment including aux busses, pre or post fader choice, etc. etc. - so it’s kind of an important thing. Just a suggestion/thought. Good video, thanks!
You should be able to add an output to the toy keyboard pretty easily (at least so it seems from other videos) also maybe and a few options to circuit bend it :p
Just about everything from temu works fine. The catch is that it is all extremely cheaply made. But they do work. I got a smart watch for 75cents. it told the time. And it also always said it was thursday in april, and the battery never went low. i hasnt died on me because i never use it lol. You have to press the home button or whatever it is to turn it on, then it needs like 2 seconds to boot up. then it tells the time. the end...
Cool, I picked up one of those reverb pedals for about $26, it's on my Dfam signal chain, I am very happy with it's performance. Just don't run it on a daisy chain psu, it can be noisy.

That toy piano thing has some serious circuit bending potential. The output is an easy fix. Much more though. Sooo much more.

Ed, you could try to desolder the speakers and put two output jacks in their place, so you have a stereo Line Out!
That hum with the first pedal is often a result of being plugged into a computer at the same time as a USB. Try it without a USB hooked up (like just between guitar and amp).
I'm honestly relieved you favored honesty over greed by turning down the Temu deal. Good on you.

So happy to hear that man. Welcome to the family and you should absolutely start music production!
Temu was awesome for letting you keep the stuff
Yeah that was really nice of them!
well tbh sending the stuff back would be more of a hassle
their shipping is free because of a bunch of loopholes, returning them is insanely tedious
I don't know about that! They figured he would probably still review their stuff, and it didn't cost them the sponsorship fee! Win-win!
Cube baby is always on my desk. Really good piece of kit. Best tone ive ever gotten from a quick cheap pedal, and is great for recording in to DAW

Thanks brotha!
the last one was giving me jetpack joyride vibes
The noise from the pedal is probably coz you are powering it through usb

The hang-drum beat is FIREEEE!
Ur ability to make fire from crappy equipment really shows how dope
Of a producer you are
You ain't lyin. This dude is dope and very talented. How long have you been watching this guy?
That dude is really talented, like we hear the sounds and not think much of it, but then hear them used in something more produced and it all fits.
💯
Amazing video!! Loved the piano hahahaha. Keep up the good work Ed!
you should check if you have any electric cable crossed with the pedal cable .... electric cables can transmit noise into the signal
Yo Ed I actually had this 8:26 toy keyboard when i was a kid there is sound called ghost/spooky sound i can't remember it very much but you can actually create some fire samples with that sound btw I am also trying to become a music producer in the upcoming year and i love your videos ❤❤❤

9:40 sounds like some sort of thing that would fit in with a witch house song tbh
Can you do more videos interacting with producers?, giving us a chance to showcase our music
I got the M-Vave Mini Universe and it's great. I got 0 noise with the right power. The sounds from it are out of this world, and could only be compared to Strymon products which cost 10 times more...
Although that keyboard is a total POS, it's ripe for circuit bending. And you can easily add an audio output jack from the speaker wires.

It would only be an alternate routing of the headphone output. They would not add separate circuitry for line output. It is what it is.
The Last song is Really similar to Molchat Doma songs (the, are one of my favorit band). Really nice vid!

believe it or not, it's actually quite hard to create a crappy sound with expensive gears when you really need a crappy sound.
