Korg Miku - FUNNIEST Guitar Pedal Ever

Korg Miku - FUNNIEST Guitar Pedal Ever

Making this video was great fun. I stumbled on the Korg Miku second hand, and decided to try it out. I'd seen that both Ola Englund and Anderton's (with Rob Chapman and the Captain) had made videos on this, and they were great fun. If you don't know what the Miku does, then in short it just makes life better. It totally transforms what you hear from your guitar speaker.

And boy did I have fun with this pedal. It's the weirdest pedal I've ever tried. It makes your guitar talk nonsense. It tracks rather poorly, which just adds to the fun. And this was definitely a fun review (or demo, or whatever this turned into) to make. So here is the Korg Miku stomp box.

What can I say, just watch the video.

Enjoy!

The gear I most often use.
A Stratocaster of some kind, either an Yngwie Malmsteen Strat, or a custom Strat with a scalloped fretboard. For 7 string stuff I mostly use an Ibanez Universe.
A Marshall 1987x into a Marshall cab.
A Fender Yngwie Malmsteen overdrive, plus a Boss NS-2 noise gate, or a Strymon Sunset.
A Morley Bad Horsie 2 wah, and a delay.
An AKG C-414 mic for the guitar.
For acoustic stuff I use a Taylor 710 short scale thingy.

Korg Miku was clearly intended for *TRVE black metal* bands.

This pedal could actually be helpful for beginners, because it restricts you from practicing unnecessarily fast.
(But damn! This thing is goddamn expensive...)

I think Frank Zappa would have had a blast with this...

[tittitocci]

Great! It sounds just like Donald Duck on acid!! :-)

I have a 4 lb. club hammer that with a 'Close Encounter' would complement this pedal very nicely !

Bro, where have you been? The Miku was reviewed by Andertons 4 years ago! They seem to be fetching crazy prices these days, so maybe a revisit is due...

[Forest_Fifer]

Every single review I've seen of this has ended me...

[hoosierdaddy]

Leave it to the Japanese. 😂
Have you seen the gear review by Judas Preists excellent UK guitafists. The new young kid. Anyway, he has sone delay pedal or something he bought in japan that looks like a 31st century device that has a lid that like slides down and an LED then lights up a face or something. He said he had to buy it and he didn't csre what it sounded like. Hahaha..😂👍

Can anyone make a good tutorial of this pedal? Everyone plays 2 notes and they already laugh and are playing a random note and laughing. They don't touch anything nice. Only meaningless notes, scale or harmony.
