    "Yes soon, the 2020's was bad, really really bad, but then Stefan invented the classic blended Enzo Ottobit combo you know, or BEOC as you kids now call it, and that was great stuff, really really great, so at least we had that going for us, which was nice".
    This pedal is such a good addition to a small mixer or as you do, use it instead of a mixer for a small pedal heavy synth sett. It also deserves loads of attention and I seriously think this tool has the possibility to if not revolutionise so at least have a great impact on the sound of the times.
    Even putting two of the same pedals, like two Afterneaths on different settings in the blend could be interesting.
    And btw, you asked on instagram what pedals we thought are beautiful. I like the look of that OBNE Haunt with the cats on.

      My predictions are not what they used to be but I guess that we in the near future will see some guys sitting on the floor with their guitar laying next to them with more than one of these pedals here on YT.
      Another guess is that digital archivists on day will mess up and call you mr pedalson.
      Or maybe not but Pedalson sounds like a good epic guitarist name anyway.

    I've been running things in parallel since the mid-'80s. I've made myself a few splitter/mixer modules for my home-made modular system, and built a dry-lift switch into the delay module in the collection, so I could shape the delay signal tone independently from the dry signal. I also made myself a BBD-based very short delay (0.5-9msec) for the purpose of time staggering two overdrive sounds before mixing them. The goal is to be able to mimic what one might get when close-micing one amp and mic-ing another from a distance in the same room. I look forward to experimenting with it.

You could literally capture your sounds going round in an infinite loop through your pedals :D

And now thanks to this video, I can actually extend that setup to four amps!

I have a Boss SY1 in one loop, a Boss Harmonist in one, and I use one loop to send the signal in stereo, to my 2nd amp, and another for sending the signal to a 3rd dry amp. I also have one loop for the Mythos Argonaut octave fuzz. There are so many different things you can do, and I'm still experimenting. I have my delays and other modulation running through my Katana head effects loop. It can get crazy. But you have all those cool Meris pedals, and the KMA stuff. Maybe one day I can afford to get me one of those..PLus! that Mood pedal. Maybe I can get one used, someday. Thanks for the ideas, and the beautiful stuff you make. Stay safe!

    It makes me so happy to see you're using the J Mascis Jazzmaster for these for two reasons 1) I have one too, and by the transitive property that makes me as cool as you now - and 2) It's a $500 guitar, so people on a budget know that the sound they're hearing isn't priced out because they'll need a Suhr or a Collings to achieve it. Bravo man.

      There's also KMA's "Tyler the Frequency Splitter", which has just 2 channels but comes with filtering options and a very intuitive 'blend' control. Really fun and immediate pedal. Another option could be the BoredBrainFX blending unit, which has more elaborate filtering/blending options, never tried that one though.
      (I only sold mine cause I have a Klein Bottle, which is the undisputed king of loop-blenders-crossfaders-filtering-feedback thingies, but probably overkill for most...)

    8:30 This is NUTZ in such a cool way! With blended and parallel effects I often just end up with the disappointing musical equivalent of mud. Or, it feels cheesy because I'm "not really playing it." This, however, is perfectly symphonic. Love your channel and your work, man. Learning so much!

    I pass my pedal board through a small mixer, before my signal goes to a stereo amp. VOX and rythm channels combine with multiple parallel signals from the pedal board. I plug my guitar signal into a triple splitter. My output channels can be more though. Serial and parallel combinations do different things that you can't seriously go without. Endless fun. SO I'm crazy for all kinds of signal Splitters, blenders and switchers!

    This is great! And the sonic landscapes you created with these pedals are perfect. For the first time I'm a bit stuck with the signal flow I have in mind. I might be needing three of those signal blenders, but that would be rediculous.
    If the guys from OBNE are reading this, what about a second version of this pedal, but with two expression pedal outputs to control the volume of the red signal and the blue signal? That would be killer!
    What? I could just as well use two volume pedals for it? Hmmmm...., I guess so, but still... 😁
