It is very true that using a reverb open-up the sound. My dad who's a sound engineer for over 40 years now, like to hard-pan a two-track from guitar or synth, with a different reverb on the right and a different one on the left, and a very subtle tremolo in the middle. This actually create a slight organic volume shift between both ears that mimics how sound organically reflects on the various surfaces of a room and how your left ear never pick it as 100% the same volume as your right as the sound comes first to one or the other. It really elevate a middle-based track or mix. A bit extreme on a summing bus but sounds damn fantastic on acoustic guitar and synth. Also my favorite reverb pedal is the Digitech Hardwire one. SO underrated. It got a Lexicon chip inside and switches with like, 32 positions :O Might not have the fanciest connectivity but, from a sound man perspective, it's the best I found.
I love and respect your passion man. Your understanding shines through the way you wave your hands while explaining them. AND you clearly see the music on a blank space.
When stacking effects I always love putting all the chorus and phasers after the reverb and delay. Since its modulating the reverb output you get huge beautiful sweeps.
They might make good videos but they also allow the customers to get screwed up without any repercussions to the offending party (in my case it was the seller) They hope they can get away with it by offering $25.00 bribe in form of credit on the next purchase. Not buying anything through or from these people ever again.
Great video, Great tips! My pedal chain, in order: 10 band eq -> distortion -> phaser -> chorus -> delay -> reverb. Like Justin mentioned in the start of the video, synths produce a LOT of unwanted low end, no matter what the sound is. Thus I recommend getting an EQ unit as the first unit in your chain, so you can kill a lot of the unwanted frequencies. EQ is also a great way to shape the sound in a very intuitive way. Generally I'd go as far as saying that a good FX-chain is as important as the actual synth, in terms of sound shaping. The next FX-pedal purchase(s) for me are most probably going to be a different distortion pedal and perhaps some filter-type of an effect.
@@RetroPlus the output lvl of synths is much higher than guitars lvls. If you don't turn the volume way down on the synth it's just to much signal going into the input.
Oh Justin...your facial expressions can lend themselves for so many memes 🤣 but we love u man. You know your stuff! I thought it was interesting that there was no mention of the zoom ms70 CDR which is one of the best pedals for synths. It actually does everything you mentioned in this video in one unit and it does it well. V2 of the firmware actually stepped up the pedals game by a lot. So maybe a “budget synth pedal” video soon where the CDR gets some love? Cheers!
if you're plugging into a eurorack system the harvestman black locust gives you fx looping, and up to four effects pedals or inserts, level and wet dry controls. and it takes care of all the impedance and level issues via built in preamps, a great little peice of kit for mixing pedals with synths
@@brianrodman1033 its absolutely worth it, one caveat is that not all pedals seem to play well with it, reverb, distortion and delays all seem fine but i tired a line 6 fm4 and it didnt work, although ive yet to plug a guitar/bass in as an insert, so that might do the trick. but yeah its experimental even for modular. luckily i was given a few old pedals which is what pushed me towards that module, but definitely demo pedals first before you buy anything new.
When i watch this video i imagine that i’m in music/adventure movie and Justin’s character is tricky smuggler that can persuade anyone to purchase his music gear. I like when host is actually geeky , he can tell much more than those who just read the text from screen
I Recommend the TC-electronic Hall of Fame 2! It just sounds amazing and has a lot of nice different colours in it. I instantly fell in love with the shimmer, church and Lofi reverb of it for my Synths (the other types are amazing to, I just don't use them that often).
I just recently got an akai mini play and started messing with pedals yesterday. Sounds insane reversed through my Midiverb 2. Especially the drum pads.
Great video. Any chance you could do a demo of mics going into pedals...not vocal pedals designed for that job, but guitar pedals....just to hear? Thanks man
Speaking of predelay, with my behringer XR16 (who was not intended as an effect kit went I bought it) I like to send signal to delay and send this delay to reverb. Lot of fun experimenting with long delay and big verb.
ive been running my drum machine thru the EQD Rainbow Machine lately, and ive been using the arpeggiator on my juno and running it thru the montreal assembly Count to 5 pedal
Great tips on using reverb and delay with synths. Really helpful! I would add that for distortions and synths, the "sweet spot" is often "less" rather than more. You came in pretty hot with those guys!
Wow, this was cool. Can anyone tell what's doing that high pitched clicky noise at 36:10 ? It sounds awesome! Can't figure out if the minilogue is actually making it
Great and inspiring clip. I love how you also speak with your hands and gestures 😬 My favorite to get interesting stuff out of the synth are the Red Panda Particle and Tensor. They just fuck up the synth into a wonderful partly random glitch.. that’s delicious!
This was legit informative and interesting. Thanks Justin Delay and Reverb! The puns are too strong today New video from Reverb Just In about Reverbs and Synths
Phaser? Jean Michel Jarre uses the Small Stone (70 Euro). Behringer made a clone, the VP1 (20 Euro). An emulation is also on the Zoom multistomp MS-70CDR.
The Akai Intelliphase from the late 90s is pretty much forgotten and not especially expensive last I checked (mine was about $70) but it sounds good on fast attack/short decay plucked type sounds, REALLY food on drum macines or samples, and generally solid on anything with a lot of dynamic range.
I used to laugh at anyone who spent $300 or $400 or $500 on an effects processor for a synth. For a studio, sure, but just to run a synth through, nope, so many options just as good for far less $$$... Then I picked up a Fractal FX8 MKII, (which new cost almost as much as a couple of synths I've bought), and decided that I should just sit down and be quiet about this topic...
You're right both ways . I've been watching a lot of the 60 Cycle Hum videos about affordable pedals and got some great stuff out of it , but then there's the Empress Zoia that makes me want to sell a kidney so I can buy it .
Nice videp. I think that the Zoom MS 70 CDR multi Fx was worth a mention, its popular with Synth players, is very versetile, sounds good and only £70 .... I have 2 being used as FX sends on 2 different Synth sub mixers
Absolute pedal noob here, but was just wondering, concerning multi-effect pedals - I know they offer multiple different effects, but can those multiple effects be used simultaneously? Like, for instance, one multi-fx pedal doing delay, reverb and chorus on the same source? Or is it simply that they offer the multiple effects in one pedal, but can only effect the source with a single fx at a time. Thanks in advance if you reply.
@Theorist,,,The Zoom MS70 multi FX pedal lets you stack effects,,in any order,,,in my opinion one of the best and cheapest multi fx units out there,,,i love mine,,,sounds awesome with my synths.
@@theorist5497 Older multi-effects pedals used to offer multiple effects chained in one way and often only one type of modulation, then delay, then reverb. The Digitech RP100 is a good example of this. The Zoom MS-100BT allows up to 6 different (or the same) effects to be chained one after the other. Other multi-effects pedals will do multiple effects but only in the order shown on the board. I believe some Boss pedals are like this.

For me, this video confirms my suspicions that modular is a massive rabbit-hole that I'd rather not go down. By the time you've stuck your Korg ARP Odyssey through a few weird pedals, it can sound as crazy as anything modular can do for a fraction of the cost.
Thanks for sharing. I had noticed that certain reverb pedals are synth friendly and you spelled out the ones that I needed to know about. You mentioned about MIDI, reverb pedals, and synth as a topic for another time. Did you ever do a video about MIDI in this regard?
At the end of the video when you went for the "crazy pedal" sounds, what is the effect that I call the bouncing pebble? That's what it sounds like to me? There is also a scratching sound. Thanks in advance if you know for certain what pedal(s) these sounds are from and how to re-create them. I'm sure some of that is coming from the Bit Commander but not sure what else. The sound is prevalent around 37:12 onward to the end.
I'm pretty sure it's the SH+white noise algorithm on the Bananana Abracadabra pedal (the purple light on it supports that), it has that sort of pinging quality and the noise can be turned down
For what it's worth, I've had great experiences with a Boss TE-2 (echo/reverb hybrid weird squid thing) & a EH Small Stone phaser hooked up to both analog & digital synthesizers, various types & in various ways...
I have had a tonne of fun with an Earthquaker Transmisser processing the sounds from a Korg Volca FM. Also string sounds from pretty much any keyboard or synth processed through an Electro Harmonix Mel 9 and then through an Earthquaker Transmisser next in the sequence sounds very fun too!
Sorry to digress Justin, but I couldn't help noticing behind you to the right as I am viewing seems to be a Farfisa keyboard which seems to have an unusual grouping of black vs white keys. Perhaps its an optical illusion on my part but as I have an interest and fascination with Janko keys I was wondering what you have there. Cheers Buddy. I enjoyed your outlook regarding the pedals for synth by the way and have subscribed.
Nothing new for me but I gotta give him credit for being thorough with letting people know all the little nuances and best practices for recording/production regarding the gear used.
For whatever reason I find this hilarious, but the best dirt pedal I found for the Minilogue is a klon-style overdrive (RYRA Klone). I don't like that style of drive on guitar but for whatever without synth it amazing
FYI, G1Xon, has a pedal you can use as a pitch wheel, among other things. The G1on model doesn't have a pedal connected, but you can still use the knob for pitch bending, but it doesn't work nearly as well as the pedal.
Don't forget to connect your pedals to your mixing board,for even more delicious flavor.Configure your processors,in serial or parallel if they are applicable in there application.synthesizers really dig effects,especially if they are configured correctly.My absolute favorite connection from my synths,is into delay,then into reverb,these are analog for warmth,then to two multi effects processors,midi connected,so they are digital,right into my mixing board,which employs effects also.With the right amount of blending of signals from synths and processors,incredible textures can be created(Other-Worldly) comes to mind.I use a Roland 88 key RD-300,as my control board,love it.I also have a Korg dss-1 fully functional sampler,with 100 disks I have made myself.Also I have a Roland jv-90,love it,also a yamaha an1x,love the sequencer,also a M-Audio Venom,very sweet reacts well in all connections I have tried.Also have a Waldorf-Streichfett ,very atmospheric all by itself,but with effects WOW!Also have a dedicated FM module The Yamaha tx-81z,adds a nice harshness to the mix.Lastly I have a Korg wavestation A/D,very complex,also atmospheric textures.Anyway I have had much enjoyment from experimenting with these technology's since the 70's.One thing to remember with synths,analog as well as digital,is EFFECTS are key in sound sculpting,and of course knowledge of synthesis in general is necessary,so learn your synth my friends.
Justin Delay, from Reverb, showing delay and reverb pedals... I'm confused....
That can't be his "real" name surely. It's too much like "Justin Case". Lol
lol gotta love the internet
I can't what for the video by Bob Flanger
You're preaching to the Chorus here. What do you have to Gain by Distorting his message?
Turn the feedback down some and it’ll clear up.
Magic trick: if you raise your elbow and twist your shoulder while turning knobs the effect will be 10x

You mean tremolo applied to initial main sound?
I think I might try this
Great tip, thanks

Adam King I’d assume the Mxr 10 band or a clone of it, that’s probably the most popular 10 band eq guitar pedal
What eq?
Big Strymon Big Sky was the first Pedal for my Moog Sub37. A very good investment!!!
Best reverb money can buy!
I killed my wah pedal with my keyboard but man that was the coolest sounding two minutes ever
How did you manage that?
that's why I would use a reamping box for that
Hipsters don't understand what impedance is... "Line Level vs. Instrument." Moral of the story, hipsters don't understand the existence of impedance.
@@RetroPlus the output lvl of synths is much higher than guitars lvls. If you don't turn the volume way down on the synth it's just to much signal going into the input.
Reece Deyoung I understand now, I've been building my own guitars now and I realized that. Guitars aren't powered so it makes sense.
20 pedals that pair well with tape loops and 4 track recorders
YES!

I have a Monologue with a Polymoon and was disappointed to not see it included and then you recruited it into the sound orgy at the en - what a treat!
GREAT DEMO, love you comprehensive explanations and accompanying hand movements
i never would have imagined a big muff sounding THAT badass on a synth
Excellent and well articulated...Enjoyed it. Opened a whole world of possibilities for me........Off to the Test Bench !!!............
I will consume every video you have ever, and will ever make with this guy. How are you not gonna make a delay/DeLay joke or comment though‽
"well, right away, it's delay, you've heard it many many times..."
HOLY PUN BEJESUS
I totally agree, if you're going to use any effect on your synth, reverb is the best.
Great insightful video as always. That pyramidz is looking excellent.

You should do a pedal review for drum machines next!

I would never have thought of using a wah pedal, that's a great way to get a hand free from doing filter sweeps!
Justin is the GOAT
super well done - great help :) - I've been building up a pedal collection for my guitar, bass and keyboards, found new good ideas here

THANKS FOR THIS...... Can you please revisit this in 2021.
Your awesome....
Awesome video Justin and crew!
32:32 Could be part of an Autechre track from the 90s 👌
Regarding pre delay: Do use it with some drums or sharp attack sounds like you described but also slap some compression on after. You’re welcome.
the ending is sick!!!! great job man!
Wow the HX Stomp is really cool! Had no idea it sounded solid on synths, will keep it in mind if I'm looking for a swiss army knife effect unit
I use it on guitar and synth - really excellent little box
