@Passenger95 how are you getting that very dark, sustained tone that you're applying all that echo to? in another of your videos you should a double-delay rig, but that doesn't seem to account for the hollowness or longevity of the base chord. I've tried getting the same results by essentially maxing out a chamber-type reverb, but the results are never as mellow as yours.
@tygolf11 You can if your amp has two channels, but it starts to sound mushy. The pads are pre-recorded, and run on a completely separate rig than the guitar sounds. The beginning part of the video just shows how I record the pads. :)
@TheResonating Some of my music is with a 57, some with a Sennhesier 609, and my preferred one is a Shure 58 blue ring. I'll use Garage Band, Audacity, Logic, etc. If you can get the sound right coming out of the amp, then you don't need any fancy recording software or effects. :)
How do you keep just one swell going and going? i have the Boss DD-20 and cant quite seem to get my swells/pad sounds to last long enough for a good worship setting.
@chanmaster5000 Swelling in more chords before the previous ones die out. Put an analog delay after your DD20, and it will meld everything together for you. :)
@Passenger95 so i have the el capistan and carbon copy.....are you sayin to put the carbon copy in front of my elcapistan i also have a dd-6 but i never use it
@superreverbfreak I'd put the Carbon Copy after the Capistan, so that it melds the repeats of the Capistan together. See, you need a lot of space in between the repeats so that the sound doesn't die out. But then it sounds awkward. So you use the Carbon Copy to take all those repeats and mesh them together.
@Passenger95 I did that along with buying the Boss RV-5 Reverb. With the RV5 on modulate and the dd-20 on modulate, my swells are PERFECT!! Just like yours :)
@oprahdidntdie4ursins Well, I drive a 16-year-old car, live in a small apartment, save all I can, and am patient on craigslist. Ended up getting both those amps for 50-60% below retail price.
@777jordan They don't get mad at the music, and I don't call the cops when they have 3 am parties on a Tuesday. It's a little unspoken agreement we have. :)
@AngelFromHeaven000 Thanks for the kind words! And if you click the link right under the video, or search 'Karl Verkade' at Bandcamp, you'll find an album I recorded, as well as a soundtrack with a written story. All sound sort of like this video. :-)
@Passenger95 i have blues in my AC30 im going to buy a silver dog from webber. alot of people including myself find if you have a cab with 2 blues, it tents to get harsh in the treble and lackin in bass. too crisp for my taste. the solution is to use a silver bell or G12H-30 like you. did you know, the edge from U2 uses a blue and a silver bell/dog in his ac30's? thats his key to an amazing sound :)
Nice! I do a similar thing, but I use two Roland multi fx/preamps a/b'ed and I use the 4 second delays on one to fire off the 'pad', then switch to the other to play over it. I've just started putting my analog delay in the loop to warm/wet it up a bit. Being only a 4 sec delay means it's a bit more of a drone than yours, but it's as close as I get to meditating. It's great to see someone elses take on it.
So what is your effects chain for the pad sound... like a breakdown of the effects to create the ambient pad sound. Digital delay @ what %feedback and whatnot. I'm assuming there is two delays and a shimmer reverb in there... but what exactly is going on... it sounds amazing.
@MMAJustice Thanks! It's basically a phaser into a volume pedal, and then into a digital delay at about 60 bpm with a heavy mix of repeats. After that, it runs through an analog delay for warmth and modulation, another digital delay at a low mix and multitap setting for spaciousness, and then a 250 ms analog delay that acts almost as a chorus to wash things out and meld them together. :-)
@runtor1988 I think that's the pad in the background, and then the Timeline at a dotted quarter setting, and a second Timeline at a low mix multitap setting for reverb-ish sounds. :-)
@CanadianDutchman As in, creating your own pad? I'd get a good digital delay, an analog delay to help wash it out, and a volume pedal. :-) If that wasn't what you were asking, feel free to message me! Cheers!
@Glencse Oh wow, it's been awhile. Um, two Damage Control Timeline delays, a Diamond Memory Lane, an Arion SAD-1, and probably a Subdecay Quasar. The Ernie Ball is just the regular mono 250k volume pedal. :-)
@rickythegreat1 I don't remember exactly what it was at the time this was recorded, but my current one is on my blog which you can link to right under the video. :-) Cheers!
@DemoColorScheme You could do it with a midi splitter...but I use them for different sounds and tempo's so much, that it wouldn't be worth it for me. Whenever I need them at the same tempo, I just work on my rhythmic skills to tap the same into each of them. hehe :-) But mostly, I need them at different measures of the same tempo, or one or both of them a-tempo'd completely.
No, I don't mean at the same tempo. But let's say you save 1 patch on your MIDI device and it uses two TimeLines. 1 with dotted 8ths and one with a quarter note. That would be really interesting. You could switch them on at the same time and they'd be aligned exactly like how you'd like 'em. I never turn mine off, by the way. Whenever I don't use it on a patch, I turn everything down and save that. So, if you'd have a patch where you'd just use one, you could do that with one.
@DemoColorScheme Ah! Totally! I gotcha. So ya, for now, when I want a sound like that, with one on quarters and one on dotted 8ths, I just call up two different patches, and I have to remember which two are sync'd up right. I suppose it's an extra step, but I think I'd get two confused if I had them sync'd up, but then had to hit an extra switch to un-sync them when I needed that! hehe Don't think my brain could handle it, mate! :-)
Hm! Well, I don't think it works like that. You recall a preset (on both units) and when you want to change it, you simply tap a different tempo or go to the next patch. Doesn't sound hard to me, but okay. :D It's not like I'll ever have 2 TimeLines. I'm good with 1.
@DemoColorScheme Hmm...I'm so sorry bro, I must be misunderstanding what you're saying. I think I'm talking about something totally different, and now I realize I must have been lost from the beginning! haha
As far as just the sound of sync'd Timeline's it's great! Sometimes I'll do quarters into the first one, and then dotted 8ths into the second, tap the same tempo, and it can get quite rhythmic. I like it!
@lespualbmb haha Well, to be fair, Angels and Airwaves is a pretty obvious ripoff of U2. And everything I do is pretty much a ripoff of U2 as well. Just so we're straight on which band I'm ripping off. lol :-) Cheers!
Awesome soundscape! Come join us at TGP-I recently started a thread about these textural ambient sounds and mentioned your work. DemoColorScheme and Andy Othling are also participating.
Dude, how long of a delay are you using to record your pads? I've tried mine with a quarter note delay with like a million repeats and it never stays as solid a pad sound as yours does... I don't get it.
@Blauto83 The trick is to set your delay time right at the point where is still delays for a long time, but isn't so long that it 'hears' your throw on the volume pedal or volume knob. And then you have to give a real gradual and 'touchy-feely' swell on the volume pedal or knob. And then of course, a lot of repeats on the delay. Then, every 2 or 3 seconds, you swell another chord. Usually the same chord, or same chord with a 9th or maj7th or something. Then, you add in some analog delay...
@Blauto83 ...after the digital delay to kind of meld everything together and take some of the definition away so that it sounds more like one solid pad. :-) Hope that helps!
since your looping in the key of D are you only swelling the root note which is d or do you swell all chords in they key of D?cuz it seems like your swelling different types of 'd'. ie d -inversion-sus-sus4. awesome playing :) cheers
In my humble opinion, the best delay for the least amount of money is the Boss DD20. It sounds great, is very functional, and is highly underrated. :-) Hope that helps a bit!
can you recommend a pedal (reverb, echo...) that makes the tone last very long or maybe endlessly? lookin for one to get the sound like you got. maybe like Stars of the Lid, if you know them.
Um, if you get a fuzz, into a volume pedal, a Boss DD20, and a Boss RV3, that should get you right into infinite territory. :-) Hope that helps! Cheers!
wow man very inspiring! i have boss GT8 (multi fx pedal) but I notticed the seperate pedals sound a lot more realistic so I really want to get a bunch of those! any suggestions?
Oh wow! There's so much good stuff out there. Send me a message with your budget and what styles of music you play, and I'll do my best to recommend some stuff. :-) Cheers!
Dude, insane sounds!! :D SOunds amazing!! Any tips on running your phaser pedal?? I'll hopefully be getting a phaser for christmas.. I see your running it on slow and deep, is that just so its a lil more spacey sounding?? Keep it up man and check out my sounds if u have time!! :D
Thanks for the kind words, and I'll definitely check out your vids as well. And yes, I like the phaser sounds slow and washy. So speed is up only enough to hear the phase pattern, and then depth and mix are very high. The key is to get a phaser that will go slow, because a lot won't. Hope that helps! Cheers!
May I ask what exact pedals you are using to get that pad sound? It looks like you have some Damage Control pedals down there, so just wondering what you're using for the pads. I'd like to make some loops for our worship sets at church so any info would be great.
Ya, they're up there in price. I was lucky and got mine for about $200 each used, before they were as popular. Thank goodness for ebay and Gear Page! hehe :-) Cheers!
Eh...I'm not too into multi-effects pedals. I do think the M13 sounds very good, though. I'm just too much of a jerk, and think I have to have all the individual pedals! haha
Ya, it seems a bit much, huh? But the 65 Amps is just a cab, so it's not like there's two post 3 grand amps here. And actually, I buy all my stuff used, so even though this rig here is made up of 'expensive' and 'boutique' gear, it actually cost me less than trying to by a rig of mass produced gear at Guitar Center. :-) Craigslist, ebay, and GearPage! lol They're the best. Cheers!
hehe I promise, I'll try one of these days! It's just that my board changes so much, I always think I'll do it whenever I settle on my pedals for a month or so. But it never happens. lol :-)
To tell you the truth, I've got more money in gear than I do in my car. hehe I don't even have cable, and I live in an apartment...I guess I just have my drug of choice. hehe
As for tips, most of what I'm doing can be done decently with two delay pedals. A digital one set to a longish time with a good amount of repeats, and an analog one coming after it. Then just work the volume knob. That's the basic concept, and everything else I'm doing just kind of adds more to that idea. :-) Cheers!
A little shorter, with lots of repeats. Warms and melds it together. Sorry I saw this so late! I think I just sent you a message about it, too. Cheers!
hehe Thanks for the kind words! Once you get used to it, or watch the video through a few more times, it's actually far less complicated than it appears at first. :-) Have a great day!
@Passenger95 how are you getting that very dark, sustained tone that you're applying all that echo to? in another of your videos you should a double-delay rig, but that doesn't seem to account for the hollowness or longevity of the base chord.

since your looping in the key of D are you only swelling the root note which is d or do you swell all chords in they key of D?cuz it seems like your swelling different types of 'd'. ie d -inversion-sus-sus4. awesome playing :) cheers
z3332948 1 year ago
@z3332948 Yep! Exactly! Mostly 1's, 3's, and 5's. Then some 2's and 7's for color. 4's to be able to fall back on the 3, and almost never 6's. :-)

I really love this.
Could you recommend me a pretty good delay pedal that doesn't cost that much?
5/5
hxclion7861 2 years ago
In my humble opinion, the best delay for the least amount of money is the Boss DD20. It sounds great, is very functional, and is highly underrated. :-) Hope that helps a bit!
Passenger95 2 years ago
great stuff dude!
can you recommend a pedal (reverb, echo...) that makes the tone last very long or maybe endlessly? lookin for one to get the sound like you got. maybe like Stars of the Lid, if you know them.
2405852007 2 years ago
Um, if you get a fuzz, into a volume pedal, a Boss DD20, and a Boss RV3, that should get you right into infinite territory. :-) Hope that helps! Cheers!

Dude, insane sounds!! :D SOunds amazing!! Any tips on running your phaser pedal?? I'll hopefully be getting a phaser for christmas.. I see your running it on slow and deep, is that just so its a lil more spacey sounding?? Keep it up man and check out my sounds if u have time!! :D
jesusmyking1988 2 years ago
Thanks for the kind words, and I'll definitely check out your vids as well. And yes, I like the phaser sounds slow and washy. So speed is up only enough to hear the phase pattern, and then depth and mix are very high. The key is to get a phaser that will go slow, because a lot won't. Hope that helps! Cheers!
Passenger95 2 years ago
May I ask what exact pedals you are using to get that pad sound? It looks like you have some Damage Control pedals down there, so just wondering what you're using for the pads. I'd like to make some loops for our worship sets at church so any info would be great.
TheDirtyCurt 2 years ago
Ya. The exact chain is:
Subdecay Quasar phaser (slow, deep setting)-->
George Dennis active volume pedal-->
Damage Control Timeline digital delay (long time, long repeats)-->
Diamond Memory Lane analog delay (high modulation)-->
Damage Control Timeline digital delay (multitap setting, low mix, high repeats)-->
Arion SAD-1 analog delay (low time, chorusy setting).
Passenger95 2 years ago
Awesome, thanks man. Now alls I need to do is save the upwards of $700 just for the 2 timelines, lol. Good stuff man!
TheDirtyCurt 2 years ago
Ya, they're up there in price. I was lucky and got mine for about $200 each used, before they were as popular. Thank goodness for ebay and Gear Page! hehe :-) Cheers!
Passenger95 2 years ago
lol, no doubt man. have you ever used a line 6 m13 before? they have some sounds like this that are built in.
TheDirtyCurt 2 years ago
Eh...I'm not too into multi-effects pedals. I do think the M13 sounds very good, though. I'm just too much of a jerk, and think I have to have all the individual pedals! haha

d13 and 65amps.... jeez.
sonda01 2 years ago
Ya, it seems a bit much, huh? But the 65 Amps is just a cab, so it's not like there's two post 3 grand amps here. And actually, I buy all my stuff used, so even though this rig here is made up of 'expensive' and 'boutique' gear, it actually cost me less than trying to by a rig of mass produced gear at Guitar Center. :-) Craigslist, ebay, and GearPage! lol They're the best. Cheers!

full demo of pedal board?????? lol
bassandguitargreg 2 years ago
hehe I promise, I'll try one of these days! It's just that my board changes so much, I always think I'll do it whenever I settle on my pedals for a month or so. But it never happens. lol :-)
Passenger95 2 years ago
JESUS!!!!!!!! you gotta have more money in pedals than i do in my car bro! sweet. love the stuff man
any tips you have for creating ambient stuff? i'm aiming to have that kinda thing going in my youth group at alter call....
bassandguitargreg 2 years ago
To tell you the truth, I've got more money in gear than I do in my car. hehe I don't even have cable, and I live in an apartment...I guess I just have my drug of choice. hehe
As for tips, most of what I'm doing can be done decently with two delay pedals. A digital one set to a longish time with a good amount of repeats, and an analog one coming after it. Then just work the volume knob. That's the basic concept, and everything else I'm doing just kind of adds more to that idea. :-) Cheers!
Passenger95 2 years ago
when you say coming after it do you mean longer, shorter or same time?
cubie777 2 years ago
A little shorter, with lots of repeats. Warms and melds it together. Sorry I saw this so late! I think I just sent you a message about it, too. Cheers!
Passenger95 2 years ago
Dude I don't understand any of this stuff but it just sounds so amazing I am going to figure out how to do it if it takes a lifetime.
