Great video, thanks! TC's own video basically did a poor job of explaining what their product did...but you did exactly what us players want to see...so great job!

I just love this guys energy. Hes so fun and mellow just nice to listen to.

I just found out about this pedal and, naturally, started looking for demos. When I saw you had reviewed it, I dove in. You pedal reviews are always great, and, since ambient music is your forte, you're the perfect person to review this pedal. You give a lot of great examples of how a person might use this pedal effectively.

I never found anything resembling this pedal! I am spellbound and it is a buy that didn't require much foraging on the net to be seduced. I can't wait to try it not only with e-guitar but also with acoustic and even keys too. TC electronic has become truly the one who has impressed me the most for a price range that I can afford and satisfy my creativity. Cheers to those who made this jewel possible.

I’ve watched the other videos in this pedal, I didn’t feel I learnt much! But your video really does show us how we could use the pedal in our performances. I think your video she is this pedal could be very useful indeed! Thanks for the demo

Love your gear videos. I trust you more than any of the other gear reviewers on YouTube.

[DBroce]

The second I heard about this pedal my money was sent to Sweetwater. This is an inspiration device.

[BishopEddie]

You're just the right man to demo that pedal!

[ruz]

Wow how effortlessly you created that jam with the delay, bravo

[mikesharpsongs]

Bill, you are TOO GOOD at this; thanks so much for all the effort and brilliance in the playing, recording/editing, and explanations.☮💜🎶

Thanks for reviewing this pedal which is #1 on my "Interest List". I have begun to feel like a kid waiting for "allowance day" who has his next upgrade planned.
Your polite distance from the camera, detailed run-through of the pedal's capabilities and relaxed presentation made me a Subscriber.
I'm a fellow Greybeard who now has time and a little extra coin to take up a guitar hobby - something which never would have pinged the radar back in the working/growing family/home maintenance/car repairs decades of middle class life.
Seeing your vid about a pedal which is already in my online Cart is like having a guitar player friend call me over to hang out in his music room and hear/try the new pedal he found.
I'll be checking in again to see what you've been working on.

I am impressed by that pedal and how you presented it

[melvage]

Beats pumping a Shruti box… Definitely has a part to play in that sphere of music 👍👍

[vanessajazp]

I like sweet and simple. Great tool for helping work out melodies, or just getting inspiration.
Think I’ll buy one!

[brianmi]

Instantly ordered one and the DADGAD type capo from your final piece at the end! outstanding.

[everestdesign]

Beautiful tutorial and playing, per usual. Thanks, Uncle Bill.

[Wolfgang.]

You, sir, are an inspiration. Thank you.

[geraldhartley]

Just got this pedal for Christmas. Your demo made me want one. Thank you!!

[hsgator]

As always, great video, Bill! Ordered mine and will be here tomorrow. Gonna use it during our Ash Wednesday service this week.

I haven’t watched one of your videos in a while and watching this I realised it’s what I was missing
