1) plays video because Knobs, not really interested in pedals at the moment 2) waitwait it's stereo 3) starts wondering what it would do to synths 4) gets to the part where synths sound epic 5) oh no not again.
5:28 that loop, it is such a good thing and i like it very much edit: oh no that ending... proving that just as with vulfpeck it gets funkier, with knobs it gets nostalgic-er beautiful stuff
I never almost pay attention to the demo/explanations on my first watch, I'm just so captivated by your riffs. Ahhh, splendid times, splendid times indeed.
Literally why I buy pedals on amazon, I can return them when new versions come out right after a purchase. But I feel you pain. Hope they don't do the same with the Fathom.
So I was looking really looking for an EHX PolyChorus, but didn’t have a lot of options available. I was hoping for a good selection from a known retailer, and the artwork and it’s amazing used price caught my eye, but it was way back in the display case in a weird place. I tried it out, and the rare intuitive inspiration to create new music grabbed me. This isn’t always what I always expect from new gadgetry, but isn’t that what all pedals are for? My biggest problem is that the clerk didn’t include the box/instructions for it (despite having them with the display). He said that used pedals don’t get boxes, swag, instructions etc. So imagine my surprise when I see demos showing new features I never knew existed.
My prediction is that with the popularity of the Slö that one will definitely see a V2 in the next year and a half. Also one day EQD will release a rainbow machine V3 w/ presets being one of the major new features.
Made the purchase (from this, thermae, avalanche run v1) Thank you! I would love to see you review the cirrus by KMA Audio. I picked up this pedal and have really enjoyed it. It's much different than the avalanche run. I bet you would love it if you have not come across it already.
Only thing I don't like about this pedal is the name, Julia had a significance to an unidentified sound in the ocean. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unexplained_sounds#Julia) Where Julianna is just a name. Also I didn't understand why when the signal was dry that we still got chorus effect? Was that due to lag affecting one channel only or what is going on there? Dry should be dry?
I watched twice to grasp what you're referring to and I'm still not sure. The synth patches have some internal modulation and the guitar loops are layered, is that what you're hearing?
how often r u in a different tuning? how would u teach someone how to write riffs like these? I absolutely love the ideas that u bring to life using all these modulations. love u knobs :)
Just fuck around with open tunings. My favorite are open 2nd string drop tunings (D A E A C# E and its transpositions) and variations of F A C G C E. Just noodle around, find fingerstyle double stops that sound pleasant, and do your thing
How on earth do they achieve that super prominent and pleasing sound of the strings scraping and rasping against wood? Is it just caused by heavy compression?
Honestly, I don't see this as being an improvement on the original. I've never thought to myself, "You know what's missing from this chorus? A tap tempo and subdivisions!" The Julia is perfect as it is and there's nothing here to justify purchasing yet another chorus, in my opinion. Cool video though!
Did you see the video? Theres more than whats on the pedal. Drift, ramp, stereo, and random sdd a ton of depth and added functionality. I agree, snd for my purposes I won't need it but many people covet the stereo in and out. Others wanted more live modulation. It's a good pedal and definitely worth a shot.
Steven Larson Actually, this guy sums it up pretty good... www.reddit.com/r/guitarpedals/comments/70x7a9/the_3_main_types_of_stereo_chorus_and_why_only/?
Man I get what you are trying to do but you sporadic and schizophrenic music style makes it so difficult to recognise what is the pedal and what is your crazy tape style mask of input onto the pedal. It’s kind of pointless to my ears. Maybe share your signal chain?
A lot of people have already commented this, but seriously, ya need to put out an album with this style of music. It’s so soothing.
it's not the same but Mick Turner's early albums always come to mind when I hear knobs music.
yeah I'd really listen to it all the time. I already do so.. yeah lol

Thanks for tracklisting, I love this EP
#5 = Brittney Spears revisited. Going to buy now...
I really hate how much I am obsessed with this pedal and it's sound. Walrus just makes every pedal sound so damn unique within a standard category.
Honestly, he could make a shitty cardboard box pedal sound amazing 😅
this isn't a demo, this is art.
Actually it’s an ad...
Roy G Biv Right. Ard then...
@@JUNO-69 haha very true
Watching Knobs videos makes me want to become a pedal manufacturer just to hear the wonderful stuff u do with whatever I make.
hey
I love you.
5:28 that loop, it is such a good thing and i like it very much
edit: oh no that ending... proving that just as with vulfpeck it gets funkier, with knobs it gets nostalgic-er
beautiful stuff
Underwater level in a Nintendo game: the pedal
hahaha literally
me: Wakes up this morning and says "I'm not buying anymore gear in 2020"
watches Knobs video....
Awww sh** here we go again!
C ct t ct c. C ct c c
@ave facts, facts FACTS!
Cant watch any videos until I win on a lotto ticket
5:29 really hits
I never almost pay attention to the demo/explanations on my first watch, I'm just so captivated by your riffs. Ahhh, splendid times, splendid times indeed.
I'm the guy walking with Julia and Julianna just walked by😏
Same!
I was sick today, and woke up from a nap and watched this video, and now I could take another nap. So soothing. Thanks for brightening my day!
Many of the pedals featured on this channel remind me of Boards of Canada.
Your demonstration helped me to make my decision about this pedal. I used your link and placed the order! 🙏🏻
Knobs if you keep using the OP-1 I'm going to get into synths/modular and then I will be homeless
Great video! Really appreciate the synth as well as guitar demo, technical information, and the excellent matching of design aesthetics!
this was better than reading an instruction manual to my new Julianna... thank you! much obliged! :)
love the new production design, this vid looks amazing!
Finally they figured out that we all want stereo.
As someone from the synth world, I think the guitar people miss out on so many wonderful things like this because stereo is not the norm.
You are the reason I bought the Julia... I know now what I must do..
well this is going to my impromptu September sound track.
this is a good team up! More knobs/walrus audio!
You did it again ya wonderful bastard
Perfect!! no talking!
How would you compare the capabilities of the Julianna's "random" setting to the Shallow Waters?
Awhhh man, I bought the Julia 2 weeks ago!!!
I feel your pain. Also recently got the V2 :)
Irrelevant Elephant same here
If they release a cool limited julianna I might sell my v2 and get it
Literally same
Literally why I buy pedals on amazon, I can return them when new versions come out right after a purchase. But I feel you pain. Hope they don't do the same with the Fathom.
all these knobs videos do is remind me to save up for a Fender Blues Jr., the dry tone you guys have is CRAZY
Great, now I want all Walrus Audio pedals.
would you ever do a video on how you compose your loops? they're my favorite part of your videos.

Sounds good but everything you do does. Need a Knobs album, pretty please....
Dang! 🏞 Smooth and beautiful.
She’s back!
this video really brings me back
Just brilliant.
0:14 "prepare. for."
...unforeseen consequences?
(That was a Half-Life video game reference, by the way.)
Want!
I was so close on buying the Julia but now I gotta get this instead.
love this pedal
and you
This is so beautiful, wow.
Please please please make an album.
Knobs you’re the real deal.
your demos are the best out there!!
please do a video explaining how you record and your chain!
Every. Single. Time. I. Buy. A. Walrus. Pedal. They. Come. Out. With. A. Better. Version! FML 🤦♂️
My prediction is that with the popularity of the Slö that one will definitely see a V2 in the next year and a half. Also one day EQD will release a rainbow machine V3 w/ presets being one of the major new features.
@@justink8156 great prediction. i can just feel a Slo V2 coming
@@justink8156 If they make Slo V2 stereo I'm fucking buying it and I don't even care

5:28 nuff said. If you released music, you'd be a top influence for me
Julia, Lillian, Julianna. Why are you stealing all my money?
Magnífico...
Yeahz - thanks for doing demos again
Awesome
ill buy it rn don't think I won't
ok I guess I gotta buy this now
Only thing I don't like about this pedal is the name, Julia had a significance to an unidentified sound in the ocean. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unexplained_sounds#Julia)
Where Julianna is just a name.

Wow thanks for that wiki article. Went down quite the rabbit hole.
todd does not mess around
That's actually a link to buy another edition of Skyrim.

What’s the name of the synth at 3:41?
teenage engineering op-1
jesus so beautiful. any vsts that emulate sounds like this?
Delay, reverb, and automate a pitch envelope
...automate pitch and volume
send one signal to different reverbs and crossfade between them
Full album when?
Does it stereo in a different way than the Mr Black Vintage Ensemble does?
I can buy a used Julia for $150 or a new Julianna for $250. Are the new features worth $100?
I think pedal companies and craft beer companies must have the same artists designing their products lol
Too high for this right now 😂😂

I need Juliana in my life.
So even though this has Stereo ins/outs, it's essentially just a Wet/Dry effect when using 2 outs?
Yes, as is the case with most stereo chorus pedals (the CE-5 included).
Ezra Elliott
I guess I'm going to keep an eye out for a well-priced FreeTheTone Tri-Avatar then...
Doesnt the dcv knob allow you blend between dry or wet on the mono out while the other output is a wet signal?
This always baffles me. The mythos of what stereo even is in certain / any contexts is I think up for philosophical debates n junk.

So it seems to cover alot of the ground the CB Warped Vinyl, anybody knows how it compares? I think this is digital while CB is analog?
i was just about to buy an oblivion D:
that was lovely..... as usual
no way to safe parameters or settings with this one, right? seems like a good memory exercise
Julia or Julianna?
Do the slo. Also where have u been
This or warped vinyl?
My favourite part is 'before Juliana' XD
Just curious... what mics you using on each amp?
Not another Julianna review
I literally just bought julia v2 like a week ago wtf
This or VS Audio Alchemy?
DIOS MIO
Sticking with Chase’s Porpoise.
Is this their response to shallow water?
That's a goooood question!
can I trade my new Julia for it?!
I was waiting for a ZOIA review but I see that Empress Effects do not have enough money to sponsor you...
portwain he did a video months ago when it first came out
Ave Mcree that was just a promo, and recently Knobs was thinking about a full review according to his instagram’s stories.
Yeah Knobs is just a AD bot now tbh
All of this and the Thorpy FX Deep Oggin is still so far ahead of the pack.. great playing though 🙌
The thing y’all need to remember is no pedal will make you play guitar this good
Goodbye boss
Makes me regret I don't play this kind of music
mac demarco in a box
Sounds like Kevin Parker in a box...
Oh no.........
£250 for a pedal tho
Im unsuscrubing if i dont see an album using all these pedals by the end of this year
