TH-cam algorithm took me here and I clicked, expecting more knobsesque ambient bs. Pleased to see some incredibly musically interesting playing and inspiring riffage. Instant sub.
You have an excellent natural commentary style and don't seem to find words to be hard, unlike so many channels where speaking is the thing. This is my first view of your channel, and I enjoyed your style, playing and insights very much.
It's always funny when you build up how you think someone sounds based on their appearance, or how they look based on the way they sound. You have a good speaking voice.
@@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals I'm not even gonna lie to you man. I was expecting higher pitched and slightly nerdy lol. But nope, you're a regular Rico Suave
It was really nice to hear your voice (total classic radio voice btw) and get a breakdown of each pedal like this. How you showcase the pedals with your music is obviously what sets you so far apart from many demo-ers and I would love to see more content about the actual implementation of how you use the effects- this seems to be something people seem to be reluctant to do- demystifying their composition process a little to shed insight on how you use all this amazing stuff, especially considering you're not really playing blues, or straight ambient or metal as per usual.. It's a tall order and I will always be stoked to see a new, talkless pedal demo from SpiralCaster nonetheless! thanx for the content and your commitment to making good music still being the focus of these amazing little toys/tools!
It’s tough because breaking to film the process would interrupt the flow of the process- usually my writing sessions are long and intense and I have to cram as much work in as possible before I leave in the evenings to teach music. I’ll definitely be considering more talking oriented vids in the future though- thanks for watching my friend 🙌❤️
Great run down man! I need to remember to get over here more often from Instagram and check out your full vids. I'm turning youtube push notifications back on just for you! Cheers!
Really enjoyed this. I’ve always liked your no talking demos that get straight to the point because the music is always good. But this was interesting to hear some insight about the pedals, where they are made , what styles/context they can be used in and a bit of info about the companies that produce them was really intriguing.🤟✌️
Really enjoyed this. I know you said "don't expect this to become the norm" (videos with talking) but this was great. Love hearing your opinions. Looking forward to more stuff like this in 2022.
Love your channel/videos. This video was a nice change of pace. I personally would love it if you also did these type of videos where you speak about your preferences/approach :) thanks and happy holidays
Absolutely great observation because he nails the language and vocal tone for a show like this. Superb playing skills, creative, and no musical cliches to be found. Honest and articulate too…rare. One of the 2-3 best guitar pedal technical/creative channels on the Tube.
I really enjoy the music demonstration parts. You really are a great musician and can tell you know how to bring out the best in these pedals you mention
thanks man for a very productive year on your end! You have the most musical pedal review clips on youtube that everyone should be watching. Keep it up in 2022 and all the best!
Great demo of those pedals, catching some serious grooves there! As a bass player, I'm also grateful you included some bass lines :-) Other than that I can concur with the others comments, you really shouldn't be afraid to get in front of the camera
I like this format! You should find a nice balance between "talking for 20 minutes and playing some blues licks" and "staying completely silent and pure playing" kind of like the pedalzone. I like to hear your opinion!
What an awesome set of pedals - kudos for assembling such a diverse, opinionated (meant as a massive compliment) collection…. Now I have to go back and check out a couple of your videos that I obviously missed. (Aside - love how you contextualize each pedal with your demos / play them). Cheers.
Exceptional video on pedals! Most interesting musical demonstrations. Most interesting pedals that one is unlikely to see on the usual videos on pedals. Made me wish the presenter were also offering a CD of their own tunes as merch! It's almost a how to make yourself more musical with these pedals and pedal makers should be paying to have this presenter audition their wares. Excellent!
Man, was a treat;) my fav pedal channel. Keep up the great work work and look forward to the future of this channel, happy holidays and all the best 👊🏻👽
This just goes to show how big TH-cam is...I've never stumbled across your channel, until the algorithm put you into my feed just now! Excellent video..your presentation and playing were excellent. 😎 And what an interesting collection of pedals - tasty indeed. 👍🎶 Also, I get from the comments here, this is the first time you've spoken on your channel. I've not checked on any other videos yet, but suffice to say some speaking (from time to time) helps give the viewer some insight into how you use a given pedal etc. And that in itself can be very helpful. Best to you in your future endeavours...subscribed. Cheers. 🎸🎸🎸
Your channel is inspiring. You’re a phenomenal talent and a brilliant mind. I’m so glad I found this channel. Thank you for what you do and wishing you all the best with this channel! 🙏🏼
Amazing video, the ads in the middle of an audio test is a bummer though. Thanks for putting in the time to make these awesome, I'm going to grab a handful of these.
Awesome video. I have a few of these. I really love the EM-III and Rossie. I was on the fence over the Syntax Error 2 but the bass demo pushed me a little closer to grabbing one.
Worth noting that the Golden Era was a collab with James Edward Bagshaw of Temples. They use a lot of vintage equipment in their recordings so it totally makes sense that he wanted something to help emulate sounds in real time.
Great content man as per usual. You should consider doing a very similar video (or series) that go over sub-genres of pedals, like fuzz/dirt, delay, verb, chorus/vibe, non-standard... etc. Happy new year!
I wouldn't mind more seeing more videos were you talk and go into depth about your experience with the pedal and/or how it inspired the song material for the demo.
I have the Tefi Golden Era and Gen loss V2 and I love both of them. I thought I was gonna end up selling one but they offer different flavors of lofi that sound great.
It would be nice if you included accessibility as a factor in choosing your petals of the year. You can imagine what it’s like to hear someone recognize a luscious pedal that sold out last year.
First time I've watched you and heard your evocative and excellently vibey music and playing. Really loving it. Thanks for the introduction to some pedals I hadn't heard of, special stuff indeed. Wondering where you got the pickguards for the Strat and the blue Tele. First speaking video? Do more! Subscribed - thanks!
I’ve only ever heard of death by audio and Alexander pedals. The others must be really small batch. I’ve been wanting to find other makers with unique pedals. How do you go about discovering brands?
This is actually the first video I've ever seen from Spiralcaster pedal guy (sorry, I forgot the channel name and I'm on my phone) and I thought this was his normal video style... Aside from that, the music and the playing is refreshingly unique and dope af 😎🍻 Mad respect dude
I know right.. His voice is some golden Bowie esq baritone . Would love to hear him run his voice through some pedals. Seriously tho.. I’d punch a baby unicorn to have a voice like that
This is great man, such amazing playing! And it's an absolute honour to have made the list! Cheers!
🙌🙌🙌
That Swan Hunter pedal sounds amazing! Congrats on making such a unique pedal.
@@seangarland thank you!
I wouldn't be upset for a same-type 2022, 2023 video, I'm in a bit of a binge here!
Finally a dude that explains each pedal very well and plays music i actually want to hear wow bravo
Refreshing to hear some quirky, off-the-wall pedals for a change. thanks

Thanks so much!

Thanks! Now I’m curious how you thought I sounded haha
@@SpiralCasterPlaysPedals I'm not even gonna lie to you man. I was expecting higher pitched and slightly nerdy lol. But nope, you're a regular Rico Suave
Killer list of pedals that no one else are talking about. Really enjoyed your reviews and presenting style as well. More please.
3:00 mark.... yup! Sick playing man, I like your style.
Brother, you shouldn't shy away from talking on your channel, you're a natural,,,
Definitely nice to have a condensed list of favorites, as well as a few words on your favorite settings.

I play older stuff, rockabilly, older rock/blues, but that keto sounds amazing! I need one
Good stuff
Good to see you talk to us, your music is so cool, but its also good to hear who is behind it. Thanks

That Keto v2 just stole my heart!!!
It’s on my all time Favs
Dude you’re super natural talking to camera, really enjoyed the change up. You Shouldn’t be afraid to do more if the opportunity came.
Most definitely!
Really enjoyed this. I know you said "don't expect this to become the norm" (videos with talking) but this was great. Love hearing your opinions. Looking forward to more stuff like this in 2022.
Thanks brother!
the algorithm has served me well - great creative playing throughout that really shows how the pedals can bring some magic to your songwriting!
Thanks so much!
The tune on OBE Sunlight was sick, rad melody/groove
Thanks my friend!
Thank you. You have awesome taste in pedals. About to pick up the Sunlight, but now I have 4 more to shop for.
a natural. really appreciated the descriptions.
man the demo for the sunlight was so sick
Thanks brother!
My sentiments exactly
i am a pedal guy myself.. i bought a hx stomp xl and its now a paperweight... just give me my pedals..sick tele love that thing
Love your channel/videos. This video was a nice change of pace. I personally would love it if you also did these type of videos where you speak about your preferences/approach :) thanks and happy holidays

shame to hear you don't normally do this kind of commentary. This was my first vid and I liked it
Loved your music Thankyou. Very inspiring and lots of feeling when you play and capture a subtle mood.
Great video and really solid and interesting picks!
Your playing is next level, brought everything out of every pedal, great content

These are the pedals I can get a kick out. Wonderful! And the music to match the epicness. Thanks!
You have another subscriber.
Thanks so much!
I wouldn't mind more seeing more videos were you talk and go into depth about your experience with the pedal and/or how it inspired the song material for the demo.

What a great selection of unique pedals! I've saved this video for future shopping ideas. Great channel! Really appreciate your videos.
Thanks so much!
GREAT DEMO JAMS DUDER
Excellent review and demo with a good many experimental and fascinating effects, which certainly will make my list! Well done!
You play so good. You could make any pedal sound great.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bravo! You are an excellent presenter and player. Liked and Subscribed!
That’s so kind - thank you 🙏 !☺️
Dude, this is a really well-done video! You make those pedals shine!
🙌❤️🙌
Awesome demos, really dig your playing style
❤️🙌❤️
I really liked how you jam. I get a Mars Volta vibe
woah that's high praise thanks my friend!
Sweet pedals and thanks for the cool video. what was that cool piano or synth with the metal sensors for keys around the 9.05 mark in the video?
Thank you ❤️ that was a MicroFreak from Arturia! I was only using it as a midi slave to my OB-6 synth in that clip though
I have the Tefi Golden Era and Gen loss V2 and I love both of them. I thought I was gonna end up selling one but they offer different flavors of lofi that sound great.
Excellent video!
Great recommendations. Thanks!
🙌❤️🙌
My pedal trading buddy! Great video
The music is fantastic...
Awesome man! 🙌
Thanks brother!
Amazing video presentation. Love it
Such a great channel!
Some really excellent choices here! 👍
Thanks man!
Great video man! Excellent presentation and very informative. I had not heard of a single pedal you mentioned :) Am smarter now
🤟❤️🤟
No Halberd V2?! Great video man, thanks. I love this channel.
Definitely was a high consideration!

Looking forward to 2022!!!
You're a natural talking though so whatever you wanna do bub
Awesome year end review!
As an aside, “Leccy” = Lecky, derived from eLECtric.
Oh shit! Is that really how it’s supposed to be pronounced? 😂 Woolly never mentioned that
It would be nice if you included accessibility as a factor in choosing your petals of the year. You can imagine what it’s like to hear someone recognize a luscious pedal that sold out last year.
Suggestion. Try the sunlight after the microcosm.
epic
Great video man. Just discovered your channel and love it!
Try the Mantic Flex and the EQD data corrupter together. Add the Beetronics Swarm for extra spicy sonic insanity.
First time I've watched you and heard your evocative and excellently vibey music and playing. Really loving it. Thanks for the introduction to some pedals I hadn't heard of, special stuff indeed. Wondering where you got the pickguards for the Strat and the blue Tele. First speaking video? Do more! Subscribed - thanks!
Thanks my friend! The guards are custom ordered from the UK- Indra Guitars, you can find them on IG!
Would love to see your guitar collection!
Just found your channel and am hooked! And I agree with everyone else, you're great on camera!
Thanks my friend! Appreciate that!
Awesome use of your effects.
🙌❤️🙌
Keep up the good work buddy.
Great video thank you
I’ve only ever heard of death by audio and Alexander pedals. The others must be really small batch. I’ve been wanting to find other makers with unique pedals. How do you go about discovering brands?
Lots of exploring haha
Champion Leccy. Is it pronounced "lekky" as in electricity, as in the north of England and "put another 50p in the leccy meter".
I couldn't get the gen loss v2 to work for me... Sold it and bought a Wardenclyfe Deluxe.
Dug the video brotha! 🤘
Thanks Hondo! Happy New Year brother!
great playing bud
