Here, I'm testing out what it's like to AFFORDABLY pass the audio through real germanium transistors and real tape, as part of a hybrid digital/analog setup.
00:00 - Intro (Why Saturation & Why Pedals)
02:14 - Tape Echo (Tape Saturation/Ambience)
04:38 - Germanium Overdrive (Transistor Saturation)
10:26 - Fuzz Pedal
13:40 - Fuzz Pedal TO Tape Echo
16:56 - Textures (All The Textures)
18:27 - Guide Vocal
I had fun. I have compared, outside of this video, the saturation from these pedals vs my favourite UAD plugins, Analog Obsession plugins and Waves plugins, and (although more time consuming) I often prefer what these pedals do to the sound, and the "living" qualities and textures they provide. I'll touch on that in the video. See what you think.
