I’m really struggling with creating ambient guitar. This is where I’ll start. A couple of pedals, keep it simple. Thank you, Perry. This is inspiring.
Thank you very much 🙏
It’s difficult but with practice it gets easier
Thank you for this ☺️
Perfect Perry, thanks for answering.
You are on to something here. Tutorials are a good thing. Very good
wow , fantastic!!!!
Thank you 🙏
Really cool!
🙏🙏🙏
Thanks brother!
Great lesson!!!
Thank you very much 🙏🙏
Great tutorial, and a useful pedal. Thanks Perry.
Thank you very much 🙏🙏
Great Video!
Thank you very much 🙏🙏
Thank you ❤❤
🙏🙏🙏
I have closing on my home in a week… can’t wait for my Strymon pedal to arrive yassssss!!!!
Nice to know you can get such great results without going broke!
Thank you very much 🙏
Liking your vids and straightforward delivery... Always get something that I can use... Thanks... :)
Thanks a lot 🙏
I can't thank you enough. I did look at your reply to others regarding the question of the ten second blank. I didn't really understand it, but tried it any way. I am 60 years old and had a bonafide eureeka moment! Thanks again.
Exceptional. I am in a Prog Metal trio and playing triplets at 220 bpm is not unusual. BIG BUT! Less can be MORE it can be a damn lot more. Thanx for the heads up. You have given me a whole new challenge.I will certainly be looking to get this pedal ASAP.
Great stuff, also very inspiring that you show us how to get great sounds with minimal gear. Grazie mille!
Thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏
Just picked one up for used for a great price! It's a great pedal however when pedal is disengaged (no blue light) in buffered bypass mode. The reverb is still on but less subtle. I'm unsure whether this is normal and wondered weather your pedal does the same. Thanks, Danny
very nice tutorial. you explain the methods very clearly but your playing technique is also a key component! I need to practice violinning :)
Thank you very much!
Wow that's a beautiful sound. I posted a video a few days ago using the mooer A7, I'm still working it out a bit, sounds good but this Big reverb pedal is something else. And I always love seeing that strat :) Really cool :)
Thank you very much 🙏
Molto interessante!
Grazie infinite 🙏🙏🙏
@@PerryFrank prego, un saluto!
fenomeno
🙏🙏🙏
Really great. Love to watch u playing perry 👌🥰 superb!
Thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏
The only thing I didn’t get was why u have to record 10sec of nothing into the looper... was it just to set any time period?
Because when you use a simple looper like the Ditto you have only one loop track to fill up and if you want a continuous trail when you overdub the only way is to start with an empty loop to fill up with overdubs.
Perry Frank aaaaahhh ☝️😌 makes sense then... thanks...
@@Scarlessarms ten seconds is just an example, if you want you can create a longer or shorter loop, it depends on what's the song in your mind 🎶
Very nice! I saw that the secret is not how many pedals do you have but how to really use 1 or 2 of them... Grazie..
Yes man, you're right! 🙏
Tks a lot for this great Tuto and a wonderful pedal.. I would realy appreciate if u make a Tuto on how to do ambient looping (and explaining this 10nsec empty first loop trick.) regards
Thanks a lot! Thanks for the tip! I will do it for sure 🙏
Yes, I don't understand it either why to use a 10 second empty loop!
@@creapis It allows you to record overdubs continuously. When the silence is longer, perhaps 10 seconds or more, you give yourself more time to record individual drones on top of each other. You don’t *need* to start with an empty silent loop, as the same result can be achieved by starting with a drone or chord, but the silence serves as a nice sort of empty palette for your drones. It often sounds neater too. Hope this helps!
Both set ups sound wonderful, do you have a favorite one?
I prefer the second one 💣
Thanks so much for the vid, now it is time to see if I can do this on the cheaper G3X I have lol.
I'll probably buy it to discover it lol! 🤣
@@PerryFrank I'll even give it a try on rocksmith.
@@TheTechnatron I've got the Zoom Ms50 and ms70, one of the next videos will be about them together
I'm guessing it's the accumulated overtones from the reverb that make the second method sound like it's a bit overdriven.
LOL!! I loved the "you dont have to sell your kidneys" line at the end. Perry, you are an inspiration. Tx for such a fantastic demonstration. You are a talented player with great feeling and sensitivity. I LOVE ambience. There are so many variables out there its madly confusing, but you have slowed us ALL down by offering a highly effective, simple set up. Would you prefer the Zcat to the Boss VR6? Also for a delay choice, would the TC Helicon Flashback, with the Analogue setting add something extra? Cheers mate!
Thank you very much 🙏 I prefer Boss RV6 even if the sound definition of the Zcat is far better, but RV6 has more sounds and modes, Zcat has few.
Amazing demo ! Great sounds from the pedal and your playing. Can the pedal do the 100% wet thing with the mix button all the way up? I watched many demos but everyone achieves it by doing some volume swells...
Thank you very much 🙏 yes, I often use it with the 100% wet! It has a beautiful ambience!
@@PerryFrank thanks for your quick reply. Thinking about getting one soon.
Great video! Love your playing! But why do you record an empty loop for 10 seconds?
Thank you very much 🙏 Because when you use a simple looper like the Ditto you have only one loop track to fill up and if you want a continuous trail when you overdub the only way is to start with an empty loop to fill up with overdubs.
10 seconds is just an example
Inspiring video! Thanks! I'm curious about your reason for first recording a blank 10 second loop though. Can you explain a little bit more?
Thank you very much 🙏 Because when you use a simple looper like the Ditto you have only one loop track to fill up and if you want a continuous trail when you overdub the only way is to start with an empty loop to fill up with overdubs.
10 seconds is just for example
@@PerryFrank Ah! Makes sense! That's a good tip. I started with the mini Ditto but never tried that. I upgraded pretty quickly to the Ditto X4, though. Love it! Thanks again for the great tutorial videos. Cheers!
Is it possible to bring this effect in a zoom g1 four processor? A little help would be great
Hi there, I've never tried it with a zoom g1. I can't help you.
stunning tones... i was like WTF this reverb is cheap... looked for it... 200 bucks, in my world this is not a cheap pedal haha
Thank you, when you compare it to a 500 bucks reverb I bet you can find it cheap lol, and I think it worths the cost.
@@PerryFrank sure thing. im super new into ambient. The only 500 Reverb Pedal i know is the bigsky and i thought thats the holy grail that can do everything. That isnt that easy, isnt it?
@@Separade The Holy Grail is a great reverb pedal but it hasn't the ambience of the Zcat pedals Big Reverb (it has a stereo sound, while the Holy Grail is mono) and they have about the same cost.
Great Perry.
when you say with "a single ambient sound" what is it exactly?
Thank you, it means that when you put the reverb after the looper in this way: guitar - looper - reverb - amps, the loop is precessed thru the reverb and you get only one ambience sound for all the loops you record. When you connect the looper after the reverb in this way: guitar - reverb - looper - amps you can change the ambience for each sound you record. So, you can record a loop with a short reverb then another one with a great ambience for example. Ok?
I’d love one, but it’s ridiculously expensive, no chance I can afford this box. Great vid, though, thanks!
Thanks a lot, I think it's cheap, when you compare to a 500€ pedal. I think it's a right price. Other pedals like Boss have not this kind of clean stereo ambience
5:28 oh god I never came up with the idea these sounds are created by working with the volume knob!
Nice demo, man! I have a question: is the big reverb true stereo? In the sense that if you use input A and B coming from a stereo panned delay the repeats in input A will come out only in output A, and the repeats in input B will come only output B? Or are input A and B mixed together and is this mix send out through output A and B?
Thanks a lot man, yes it is. It's a real stereo pedal with stereo input and output. It's one of my favorite reverb pedals
@@PerryFrank Thanks for the very quick response, man! Keep up the good work! :)
grnade! senti ma gli orange li preferisci ai valvolari?
Adoro i valvolari, specialmente il Fender Blues Deluxe, che rimane il mio ampli preferito, ma devo fare i conti con la mia schiena dolorante. Gli Orange sono piccoli, leggeri e in stereo sono un buon compromesso
Could you please explain why you had to record an empty loop first? Thanks.
Because when you use a simple looper like the Ditto you have only one loop track to fill up and if you want a continuous trail when you overdub the only way is to start with an empty loop to fill up with overdubs.
Perrry secondo te valà la pena spendere di più per la versione stereo dello zcat? O va bene pure la mono?
Assolutamente prendi la stereo. Poi ovviamente dipende dal tuo set, se suoni in stereo o mono. Ma fidati, la versione stereo in un set con due ampli ti spalanca le porte di un cielo infinito.
@@PerryFrank userei un wet dry wet con un ampli piylo strymon iridium stereo . A proposito come mai non usi mai l iridium? Non funziona per ambient?
@@Gigirizzolihhhhyyy Certo che funziona ed è un pedale incredibile da quanto vedo nei demo, ma non sono ricco e non posso permettermi molti pedali che vorrei. Sono costretto a fare selezione e molte volte per avere un pedale devo venderne altri.
The ten seconds of silence, what does that do?
Without it you get a very noticeable cut in the drone sound, its like when someone badly edits a video
Perché registri un loop vuoto? In che modo si riempie?
Un loop vuoto, si autoriempie. Va in overdub automaticamente
Would you say a whammy bar is crucial for ambient playing ?
Heavy Ambient Metal 🤟
Not so much
@@PerryFrank oh okay cool, I’ve just ordered my boss reverb 6. Last question (I hope), can you send me a video of how to make ambient music with JUST the boss reverb 6 ALONE, because I’ve only found ones with another pedal connected to the reverb 6.
@@Jeremiah.k watch this and grab some ideas, you just have to copy the settings: th-cam.com/video/FLMy5aCSBPM/w-d-xo.html
@@PerryFrank Thankyou bro
I didn't understand, why there is a difference between Looper-Reverb and Reverb-Looper.
Can you explain it to me?
When you use reverb and then looper you create different sounds as you can see you have Soundscapes, drones and then a clean arpeggio. When you use looper and then reverb all the sounds you record in the looper have the same ambience.
@@PerryFrank thanks, but I meant what's the technical reason, why you only create one ambience with the one way and others with the other way.
Yes, with the first way you can record a clean arpeggio, or diffenent soundscapes. With the second way the reverb controls the ambience of all the loops you record.
@@PerryFrank uh ok, now i understand, thank you
and thank you for all your great content👍
@@wiseman1235 you're welcome, thanks a lot!
where you from Perry?
Sardinia
@@PerryFrank cool, must be a beautiful place to grown up
170eur for the zcat pedal, budget?
😏
Not budget? Compare it to a 500 € pedal lol! 🤣
Who was born first.. The chicken or the egg? Just kidding 😉 take care
@@ricardofigueiras6453 if you've seen Dark probably the chicken went back to the past to be its own egg. Lol 🤣
I saw! and I have to agree with you
😁
Economico no😄
In confronto ad uno Strymon o ad un Eventide direi di si. Non trovi?
@@PerryFrank beh quello hanno vari reverb dentro non un.solo suono
@@Gigirizzolihhhhyyy ci sono diversi suoni in quel pedale, vai dal Room fino al Plate. Basta saperlo regolare. Poi dipende dal concetto di economico che una persona ha ed è comunque in relazione alla qualità. Behringer ad esempio è molto economica ma la qualità è molto bassa.
It's not that cheap!!!
I think it's cheap, it costs 170 €, compare it to a 500 € pedal.
