Electronic Audio Experiments Prismatic Wall // Guitar Pedal Demo
Prismatic Wall is a unique audio tool that transforms incoming sounds into the vibrations of a virtual string bank. Combining elements of reverb and synthesizer, it offers metallic yet warm tones that range from subtle harmonic layers to rich piano-like chords. This creates a sustaining, spectral extension of your instrument, blending physical and surreal qualities.
The resonances react to your playing: in-tune notes excite specific pitches, while percussive attacks activate all strings. Using a physical string model with tuned delay lines, Prismatic Wall manipulates the sample rate for tuning. The Mode selector adjusts interval spacing between strings, creating harmonic ambiguity. Damping and Decay settings control brightness and sustain, from short plucks to endless drones.

Lauren Audio B100 Console Fuzz // Guitar Pedal Demo
Переглядів 2,1 тис.16 годин тому
The Lauren Audio B100 Fuzz pedal takes inspiration from the B100 amp cards of vintage Neve gear, back when germanium transistors were used. These amp cards had a design akin to a fuzz pedal, sparking the idea to create a pedal version. The B100 Fuzz retains several unique circuit elements from the original B100 cards, yet remains fundamentally a two-transistor fuzz. www.lauren.audio/ The pedal ...

    Jamie Stillman from Earthquaker says this is pretty much his favorite pedal overdrive. I just bought one on a whim and it was SO much better than I expected. Has a spongy sag and a crunchy attack and colorful blooming notes and complex harmonics and overtones. Just a really musical pedal! I love the new sparkle hot rod yellow / gold too.

    It's interesting! I know it's not technically a reverb, but it does have some similar characteristics and seems like it can be used as one. It seems to kinda sit in the world of the Gen Loss too. Cool to see other companies besides Chase Bliss get into that space. It can only help to push innovation and progress.

    Yup, it still needs to be said! Some of the best tones from a fuzz pedal are with the guitar volume backed off a bit. Great demo of the versatility of this effect, but also great in mind, the Greer Black Fuzz is based on the Electra overdrive circuit, not a fuzz face line.

    My 2 cents. After playing this for a bit and I found it to be stiff and lacking rich overtones and rather one dimensional. It seemed like a RAT stuck in one filter setting. When comparing it to some others pedals (analog as well as digital) it made my digital pedals sound analog when switching between them, this was do to this Baachus lacking rich overtones and being stiff. On the plus side there is good string separation, each string stands out clearly thru the distortion.

    The only thing missing… the ability to switch between Left and Right or stereo (both) Say you were running an IR-X and IR-D (or two other separate) preamps on the same pedalboard. You might want to just run one or the other… or blend them together… or have FX with only one, for a wet-dry setup. I guess you could do your guitar into an A/B/Y switcher then into this… but man that simple ability built in would be the shizzy!!
