More on the Empress Superdelay Vintage Modified

[smkonwater23]

Phew, I think this is it after a long long search for a great delay pedalbox. This is the new goal...not going for the DL4 Line 6 after all.

[jellyjukebox]

After seeing your videos Andy I finally pulled the trigger and traded in my beloved T-Rex Replica pedal in on the EMPRESS and all I can say is wow, what an awesome delay, it does SO MANY things! I've found wonderful settings in only about an hour of twirling the knobs and I know I'll find many more wonderful effects. I unloaded an original acoustic instrumental using this pedal in a "reverse" mode and the repeats are an octave up where it seems there is a great keyboard part playing with me. :-)

IN THE NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AMEEEE OF LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEE

[vgw1971]

how does it compare to tc electronics nova, korg sdd3000 (I own), or other delays. I'm about to buy 2 vox ac15h1tv or 1 ac15h1tv and a marshall or fender and run stereo. Which do you recommend for U2, radiohead, Audioslave type stuff. 2 different amps or 2 same? What pedals? Ibanez af2, DBS soundwave breakdown, fulltone etc. I'm going going for warm, realistic echos/delays. Want as simple of a set up as possible in stereo to play bands I mentioned but also a little heavier stuff. h vs cc?

[ArtVandaleit]

hey PGS..at the beginning when andy rings out the last chord to the U2 bit was he using an expression pedal to bring up the feedback??

[tubescreamin74]

Not only the Edge but, I here some Beach House in some of these demo's..

[wepsicola]

Where can I buy this pedal in Europe or is PGS shipping abroad?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@wepsicola We ship worldwide everyday. Thanks,

PGS

[aektzis91]

is that eric johnson's pedalboard at 1:06? just a hunch...

[thebibleisalltrue]

Will one of my pedal boards 9 volt adapter Boss style center negative cables from my Modtone power supply power this pedal? I read something about a 12 volt power supply for the Empress so I just want to make sure that it will work.

[MichaelD8393]

0:00 the best you can use for this pedal.

[thmsrojo]

I actually like the original better, it just sounds more sutle

[aektzis91]

@thmsrojo maybe its just the settings..

[SilentCommitment]

could you give us your delay settings for all that nice sounds? thank you in advance

[william1theguitarwah]

GILMOUR! PAGE!!!....ew, edge... hahaha

[pissballs]

I've been playing before the wind and before the snow like sir pyscho and this is the best digital delay pedal I've ever heard and thats just from a youtube vid! I've heard them all. I have a line 6 presently which I thought was my last delay pedal. History repeats itselfI guess not I will be looking for this pedal when the quid permits.

[Chamillo87]

What kind of expression pedal are you using  in the first part?

[crimelight]

What kind of legacy model is that G&L? I really like the headstock matching the bodycolor.

[JIMMYJIBLETS]

does anybody else feel that Edge-esque delay's are not this pedals forte? I find it really doesn't fit that bright, crystal clear delay sound. Edge uses digital rackmount delays, so decay doesn't really fit the tone. still a damn good sounding pedal though.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@JIMMYJIBLETS It can sound bright and clear on other modes besides tape. Take a listen to the stock Superdelay demo. Don't forget the Edge used an Analog Memory Man for all that classic U2 stuff, and those are pretty dark.

[mikeygenao]

@ProGuitarShopDemos

I'll second that. 100% a Memory Man on that and early records...

[skurtix]

@JIMMYJIBLETS Alot of the edges sound comes from the deluxe memory man, he runs digital delays as a second delay (he uses two at a time)

The EHX Deluxe Memory Man distorts easily because you often overload it, that's the sound you're looking for. It distorts somewhat when overloaded.

[MHU999]

outstanding gear, playing and review

[myonlydanger]

I love Empress. I love PGS.

[hyperboogie]

I'm not too sure about the mods. They seem take away some of the shimmer and top end...

As for the extra modulation added to the custom one, you can kinda get the same feel with a touch of phase

[MCLaneous]

haha believe it or not they take away the "Edge" (in terms of eq) hahaa

[marcoze]

wow if everything is the same, then the modified version is the version that should have existed in the first place

[snouter]

Any update on when this delay is available? IMO, they should do another 50 unit production run.

[9thstreetbrandt]

they told me 7 daysm yesterday

[snouter]

Cool! I got on their email list so hopefully I will get a chance to order before they sell out again. I considered the Skreddy Echo also. Tough decision really, but I don't know if I will even be alive in 5 months which is the waiting waiting time for a Skreddy. :p

[william1theguitarwah]

get some sweeet gilmour style on that thing

[sydthepioneer]

the binson lives on!

[supersucker72]

that has got to be one of the best delays I have ever heard keep it up

[Ilovemyfender2]

1:05 Eric Johnson's board

[vdr200120]

yeah

[MirrorAshes]

Got mine today and it is great!! You so happy when playing this baby, looks like this was a real labor of love Andy, thanks!!!

[krazietokkie]

PRIDE!

[seekah1]

Sweet. What do these babies usually retail for?

[9thstreetbrandt]

i think 500-600 $

[bigskymind81]

449. : )

[meateaterer]

oh man thats sounds sweet

cant afford unfortunately

[Chumleh]

Why can't you just add a modulation depth knob?

[edadmartin]

great job on the pedal .Love that old tape flutter

[edadmartin]

Andys diggin it! just havin too much fun !

[PrsFenderJackson1980]

I thought since this is the newest thread I could your attention. Are you guys going to do a demo on the Seymour Duncan Alternative 8?

[amarr1]

sick guitar.

[MiLemonPie]

That guitar looks fantastic! gotta love the G&Ls

[JohnnyCashFan200]

Do you think he should post some johnny cash

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

Sold out as of yesterday. We will be getting more in about ten days.

[JohnnyCashFan200]

Ca you please post some johnny cash

[777jordan]

hahahah at 3:39-3:45 Andy's on cloud 9!

[777jordan]

I think the vintage tape mode sounds the best. I like it better than standard tape mode or old tape mode.

[LTLfilms]

that first part sounded like U2

[BSSchumacher]

i think it was U2

[roxas139]

It was U2's "Pride(In the Name of Love)"

[onedh]

it is U2

[Adji87]

Sounds fantastic. Always wondered how Eric Johnson got that natural chorused sound, now I know. Great stuff Andy thanks.

[catfishmudflap]

Great history lesson. Beautiful music. Thank you PGS.

[Ancaja123]

what if proguitarshop started making their OWN pedals!

[f1sk8mm]

haha Andy you look like the guy from 'I love you man'

Slappin de baaaassss

[TamitShah]

hahhaah true man lol

[NerdyHobbyistGamer]

I love it! (also the pedal) G&L FAN RIGHT HERE :)

[yearofrolling]

Cool delay! I'm glad they made a Vintage Modified version but I'm going to wait for the Empress Superdelay Antique Re-Modified to come out.

[xxgg55]

Thanks so much for all your great demos

[shadowsniper134]

Sold out already

[h2ophilter]

is it my headphones or does this video have clipping noises? when he hits the chords at :30

[sleeepingpills]

I don't hear any clipping out of my monitors.

[castout85]

its your headphones

[Stuey105]

Ya, i heard it too.

[casilleiro]

what a beautiful G&L legacy!!!

andy you are already famous, please join my band :P

[NerdyHobbyistGamer]

lol I love G&L

[steelykiss]

I love modulated delay, too. I own the original Superdelay and love it but would probably buy this one if the PGS mods were available as an additional MODE. I think the tape mode on the original is excellent and wouldn't want to give it up!

[popomczowzow]

Sounds great, I've been thinking of getting a delay (and a looper too)

[scubagib]

You guys ought to do a shoot out between the empress and the EH deluxe memory man. I'd love to see which comes out on top.

[saltystudios]

U2! This is a good delay but its too expensive for me. Andy, I think not only are you by far the best demoer on youtube, but actually a top notch guitar player. All of these videos are well produced, well played, and definitely deserve more views.

[speakercoilmusic]

I agree... I always look forward to these... Great way to learn about the array of amazing boutique pedals, guitars, and amps out there... as well as popular old faithful effects too. Andy seems to be able to play any style... Sometimes it's scary how close he gets to certain famous tones. Great production quality and the videos are getting better all the time!!!! I watch everyone (with the exceptions of guitar reviews, because I am set on my axes).

[weirdotis]

And that's Eric Johnson's board at 1:07 isn't it?

[scubagib]

Definitely agree with the mods. This pedal is great...even over youtube. Love that pedal.

[weirdotis]

Awesome U2 and pedal!
