I heard the tutorial demo by Source Audio, and was underwhelmed. But I saw this, and that made it to "must-have" pedal in my Source Audio setup. Thanks Andy!
Germanium transistors cost like 62pence Uk at their cheapest and 33 GBP at their most expensive; don't let pedal manufacturers bullshit you. The transistors in most "boutique" fuzz pedals you can pick up for 16-18GBP each. Oh, I forgot, there's only "a few good ones per batch", right? LOLOLOLOL. Whatever parts rich people from their cash I guess....
Killing it like always Andy, thank you. Mostly for the clear & concise explanations. When you say it, it somehow it just makes sense. And this is from a neo-Luddite!
At the beggining i was feeling the Ultrawave was just the multiwave distortion with a stereo tremolo plus, but this demo makes me see it's has more complex capabilities
I feel like modern pedals make me spend more time tinkering than playing. I love advancement but how the hell can I choose which sounds better with minor tweaking to the point where the difference is almost unnoticeable? Yet, it's still there and I have to triple check if I hear a difference. Now do that with 18 digital knobs
It's my understanding with this pedal you can do all the sounds in the various overdrive and fuzz pedals they make? So you can just buy this and you get all the other dirt pedals as well? Same with the chorus that does the phaser and flanger pedal stuff. Same with the C4 as it does everything the filter pedal does as well
Awesome .I have always used FL studio as an fx router .It can do quite a bit of this ,but you need a damned laptop and nothing is easy or optimized . This looks like ti is worth the $$ they are asking
Seems like you might be able to get real close to David Gilmour's beautifully hideous _Sorrow_ tone with that thing. Cool. I don't know about the hat, though. It's a bit too "The proletariat, Comrade" for me.
Also, I left this comment prior to knowing that Andy pointed out he is wearing a hat. It still makes me uncomfortable and I still have zero idea what this actuality pedal is because of how uncomfortable I am.
Great demo as always! One question: are using the same Ultrawave pedal for the bass and guitar on the intro? Or was it the Ultrawave “Bass” pedal on the bass? I’m curious if buying the guitar oriented pedal would work sufficiently on both bass and guitar. Thank you!
The standard and the Bass versions of the Ultrawave are the exact same pedals. The bass version comes loaded with 6 presets that are specifically tuned for the bass, but it is possible to load any preset created with the standard Ultrawave into the bass version and vice-versa. So you won't be missing anything regardless of which pedal you pick. Basically you can make your decision based on which color you prefer, blue or green. :-)
I know your game. Don't be fooled people. That isn't Andy. That is his evil twin. The hat covers up his horns. I can take care of him with 12 easy payments of 29.99 so if things get hairy let me know.
I love Source Audio pedals, super innovative... BUT... too many options, too complicated, I wish their pedals would be more focused on PLAYING than TWEAKING.
if anyone is wondering andys hat is dialled to 12 o clock - but its at 18v for extra headroom
Andy insists on only the highest quality tone fabric for his hats. Thanks Andy.
"I'm wearing a hat" is the disclaimer he knew he needed to put up front so people don't comment on it lol
And people still comment about it^^
What's the pedal even doing? i totally missed that. was distracted by the hat
Andy’s voice is the sound of familiarity of my younger days when watching pedal demos

Great Clip Andy, Source Audio has been making some game changing gear these days
Looks like Source Audio is killing it with this, the C4, and EQ2...and at reasonable prices... ☺️
Don't forget the Spectrum !! 🤟
@@ElvisPriceless I just recently bought a spectrum...just as I expected, no two envelope filters are the same
@@jasondorsey7110 Cool ! How do you like it ?
You're getting they raunchy crunch I love from those early Tonebenders. And there's no unobtanium germanium/silicon involved!

Rockets red glare is worth the price of admission. Brill yant!
It sounds very impressive if maybe quite overwhelming, and Andy’s demo is fantastic as we have come to expect.
Killing it like always Andy, thank you. Mostly for the clear & concise explanations. When you say it, it somehow it just makes sense. And this is from a neo-Luddite!
I’m so glad you found it helpful! Thanks 👊
Job done Very well on that intro jam.. ahaha "I'm wearing a hat." love it man, you rip
Great stuff. I love those pseudo step sounds. Love these sounds.
Does Andy clean up his hat by rolling back the volume knob?
Those mids have a viscosity like motor oil, thick and smooth....thick and smooth😘
andy is the best salesmen i swear to god
It's nice that you can actually find the guitar version of this one. All the guitar multiwaves seem to have disappeared
aw yes, best part of any day/week
Around 6min in is very Jimi-esque I dig it
3:03 borderline Maestro fuzz sound I love it
Another complicated but great pedal from source audio!
At the beggining i was feeling the Ultrawave was just the multiwave distortion with a stereo tremolo plus, but this demo makes me see it's has more complex capabilities
Still i don't understand where in the chain to put this pedal... since is a fuzz pedal, it can't be in the end of the chain
On the other hand, i see a very powerful competitor to the TC Mimiq doubler or Strymon Deco
My new fave youtube channel!
Tell us more about the hat. . .

I thought I caught an Earth Eighteen riff in there, which is so obscure (and so good) it makes my head spin. 0.0
Great custom sets. That thing is amazing. So is the hat
I like these 'home made' videos more
Andy, there are some Inuit in dire need of a refrigerator. Get on it, mate.
JK, sounds awesome. But you sure can sell!
Cool. But I wish Source Audio would un-abandon their expression pedal. Ideally, redesign with hall effect sensor.
It sounds like Billy Gibbons and Trent Reznor got together and made a pedal. Very interesting indeed.
Wow, what a concept that would be. I'd probably buy it.
I doubt it was intentional but at 10:30 ,is that GG Allin ? Bite It You Scum ? lol
I can't like this video enough times.
Andy, you know that more people are wondering about the hat, than the pedal.
Great demo as always, but we need more info on the hat...
Haha! Can a man wear a hat?! I only brought it up because I knew there would be comments. That's the scoop.
What a great demo. You’d actually learn something from watching Andy.
Thanks so much, that’s always the goal!
Love the hat as well, Andy. Care to share where you got it or the brand?
This is a very unique pedal. Great demo!
Wait, have we heard the hat’s clean tone?
Maybe washed once, so don't count on it :)
09:03 ...and I just bought a pedal in my head.
I've noticed the more complex the patches you make the more latency "no sound" between switching patches. Not good for live gigs
Argh what's that riff at 13:07?
Gary Numan - Down in the Park 😉
@@AndyDemos aaaaaaaaagh, yes! So good.
Awesome .I have always used FL studio as an fx router .It can do quite a bit of this ,but you need a damned laptop and nothing is easy or optimized . This looks like ti is worth the $$ they are asking
Even with a hat (bad hair day?) Andy rocks!

I don't know about the hat, though. It's a bit too "The proletariat, Comrade" for me.
Gulag for you :)
More hat!
We need some Andydemos Portland hats
Is this available for sale anywhere yet?
Sweetwater have them in stock now at least :)
Lots and lots of Reverb shops have it!
Can this be programmed with an iPad?
Yes, it can be edited with and iPad or iPhone.
Andy rules
i liked this video, and i am also wearing a hat
The cat in the hat! 😺
I want to be clear, Andy in a hat makes me uncomfortable. I understand exactly how irrational this is.
Also, I left this comment prior to knowing that Andy pointed out he is wearing a hat. It still makes me uncomfortable and I still have zero idea what this actuality pedal is because of how uncomfortable I am.
Holy shit, it's not a pedal at all...
😅
On a more nerdy note...to be clear, this is a digital pedal, no? Not digitally controlled analog.
Digital yes, it's required for multi-band processing.
Great demo as always! One question: are using the same Ultrawave pedal for the bass and guitar on the intro? Or was it the Ultrawave “Bass” pedal on the bass? I’m curious if buying the guitar oriented pedal would work sufficiently on both bass and guitar. Thank you!

HAT!
Great review as always...why mention the hat? Give yourself a bad “covid” home-made haircut? We’ve all been there.
I know your game. Don't be fooled people. That isn't Andy. That is his evil twin. The hat covers up his horns. I can take care of him with 12 easy payments of 29.99 so if things get hairy let me know.
Please not the drill, Andy :(
he's wearing a hat
I have the Multiwave Distortion, so I don't need this pedal. I mean I don't need it really.
This is the first time I’ve seen Andy act casual. It’s strange.
bad lockdown haircut?
I love Source Audio pedals, super innovative... BUT... too many options, too complicated, I wish their pedals would be more focused on PLAYING than TWEAKING.
Take off your hat and jacket.
that's a hard pass from me. unusable and nasty in a bad way.
