You are straight up the most unique guitar gear channel on YT. You take a pedestrian pedal or effect and bring the hidden oddities and foibles to the surface and expose it for everyone to exploit. I find myself binge watching your videos. I would love to see your process to uncover hidden uses with a new pedal.

Lovely version of "Is This It"

[offkilter]

Ah, my favorite Blues Driver: the Metal Zone

[A_Cuppa_Joe]

With the imagery, your easy-to-understand but comprehensive explanations, the tones, your channel has quickly become one of my favorites. I also really appreciate that you're not overtly selling gear like so many other channels. Can't wait to watch more!

[NohFyuchur]

That last sound example was incredible, i could just live in that sound…also now i’m gonna be lookin into that side step..lol..came for eq knowledge but i get sidetracked which is the coolest part..i’m so glad i found your channel. No bs, full of info, the animations are oddly soothing…love em

One cool tip is to have the speed of the random expression input quite fast and you get that sort of switching radio stations effect you hear on songs like hunting for witches

I love everything about this video. Especially the mall graphics.

A lot of people would say: why don't you just get an pedal? The point is that you would use what you already have to achieve a desired sound. But more than that, it's about experimenting with what you have - don't just do the same old things. And that's why your channel is the best!

[SlowToe]

Fantastic video, again. Seriously underrated channel. Really like your collaboration with Emily Hopkins 👍🏽

[JonathanGarciaMallen]

Even though, having been behind the sound console, I kind of already know/understand most of this; your video and playing still made me smile

[cybresquid]

As per usual, with every video there are several absolute bops. The one at 5:23 especially in this video. The lo-fi trick is pretty rad!

[spaceshipable]

Really enjoying these vids. Keep it up!

[johnplayer]

Your best video yet, and the bar's already high.

[michaelfowler]

Such an artist - each video is an album unto itself!

My favorite EQ discovery is with the WMD parametric, you can barely boost the lost extreme high frequency range at a low Q after scooping out any mud or nasally mids that are clouding up a guitar, and that little lift in treble headroom is very airy instead of harsh. It can be harsh if overdone but the WMD allows a very high frequency to target and it gave me a sparkle I couldn't find anywhere else

[jamesthomas]

Only discovered you recently, but this has quickly become one of my favourite channels. 👍

[basicsforbaroqueimprovisation]

Thank you Ivan ! I've been watching all your clips and truly appreciate the time and effort you put into these and your generosity in sharing your explorations and wisdom. The clips are also tremendously entertaining ! I always end up considering things from a new angle. That's the best ! Gratefully - John

[bodenschatz]

The video I didn't know I needed today. Brilliant.

[manyhobbiezz]

The fact that all your vids don’t get like 100k views sucks. Such useful information.

[FieryBiscuits]

I like what you did with Live Forever there!
