[Dalvawi92]

Was that "Time" by Hanz Zimmer from

the "Inception" soundtrack??

[GuttedAtBirth]

sounds like the inception sound track

[MrAlexFeat]

wow. only video on youtube with perfect swells. i love it.

PS: give more. (maybe on a loop^^)

[liligman]

First thought was inception

[kratuli]

You should save some money and buy a nice pair of socks

[emerald876]

You sir, have earned yourself a subscriber. I need a setup just like this.

[Rodentboy1]

the chords were you playing man

[JuniorHitomi]

Hey Bro! Nice sound. i'm trying to find this timbre. What Pedal and what effect do you use to do that? do u also use a volume control to create a non attack?

[ArthurTS9]

ligth of salvation??

[ClarizardtheWizard]

john frusciante anyone?

[stix471]

i think i just heard the most beautiful thing ever O>O

[chanmaster5000]

why two reverb pedals? I can understand using two delays but what are the benefits of two reverbs?

[pahwraith]

@chanmaster5000 Set them are different rates maybe?

[JucksRattlehead]

TEACH ME MASTER!

[thegrunger49]

This video was made way before Inception came out.

[Samprayer2]

do you use a true bypass looper or the pedals are engaged on each others?

[nickcanon]

Sounds like inception music

[ellis6507]

this sounds like john martyns small hours

[jacalmoviemaker]

@tubescreamer what are the main pedals you use for this, i know youve listed all the pedals on your pedal board but id like to know what is essential for this sound, its really hard to find pedals which make these sounds

[TravJacobs]

If you liked this ^, you might like this: /watch?v=soET1qvvDcQ&

[tomiclav]

sooo, you're running volume pedal before delays and verbs to make a swell?

[Strummify]

@tomiclav yes, so that the delays and verbs can trail off naturally when the pedal is heeled, rather than being cut off abruptly

[guibr18]

Sounds amazing!

It should sound amazing live!

[anfff]

what delay time you using, hope ou can help thank you

[gibsonjesus123]

What pedal board are you using in this video?

[Theblob516]

I can totally picture this turning into an epic 11 minute piece by Mogwai or Explosions in the Sky..or you O_O

[SlipKnotIOWAmasks]

the inception song used the chords: Am, Em, G, D

[MrJeff10101uk]

Just love your stuff. May have to buy another album :) Having listened to loads of ambient/shoegaze stuff on the net yours is by far the best IMO! Keep it up!

[abcbamz17]

i request a longer version

[Lucario1211]

@abcbamz17 That's what she said.

[hollowharmony1]

what pedal?

[PicturaSonus]

I'm sure this might have been said before, but this sounds quite a bit like "Time" by Hans Zimmer. I love it.

[jakatak]

I don't suppose there's any chance of a tutorial for this sound is there?

[cool21967]

@jakatak I swell pretty well using a heavy cavernous reverb (On my pod x3 live) combined with a stereo delay set with heavy feedback and about a 41% mix.

[bloodsling]

greatest 41 seconds ever

[KreepyDreamer]

Can you try and make this 3 mins long? Its awesome:D

[Byrdbones]

Can I ask please, what version of the Ernie ball volume pedal do you use?

[Teutonic1250]

beautiful. simply beautiful.

[Gubeguitar]

hahaha joe approves XD

[EnDZYm3]

While a keyboardist will always pull off this type of sound better, it's great that near-identical sounds can be achieved on the guitar.

Perfect for live play, where the keyboardist can only do so much on his own.

[EvilDudeoftheDead]

That...was...*wipes away tear* awesome.

[DeptofImp]

@tubescreamer Really incredible sounding work. Thank you for posting. Stupid question for you.... how do you get rid of the attacks of the notes? I am a traditional guitarist and play experimental electronic. Trying to combine them together, but don't know how to get rid of the percussive nature of the guitar.... suggestions?

[HitmanJenkins1]

@DeptofImp Volume Swells, either via a volume pedal or rolling the volume knob on the guitar, combined with Delay and some Reverb and it sounds awesome

[jonahkemp]

@DeptofImp using a volume pedal

[JethroMcormick]

that was beautiful :')

[TheAxis456]

which pedal is the one that sounds like a cry/voice? I like your setup man

[joshbaezmusic]

what volume pedal and reverb pedal are you using?

[zhotai77]

also a fender man.... good shyt my fav brand :)

[zhotai77]

sweet pedal board

[zakkthemusicdude]

what effects are you using on this? is it a reverse reverb or just a reverb and a volume pedal?

[marcdiggydog12]

@zakkthemusicdude its in the video description.

[ClassicRocker77]

sigur ros ?



[TVTsteven]

really clean. Smooth transitions. I like it.

[labbern]

Barefoot

[Walls1441]

This is pretty awesome

[jakeyboy2929]

i know you use 2 voodoo lab power but interms of rigging it together, howd you do it? do you put anything through the fx loop?

[1akez1]

how can you get this spacy sound?

[jojojosh21]

any way you could let us know how you set your pedals? :) like the knob settings?

[steentompkins]

Brian Eno, eat your heart out! : )

[RedSandStudios]

Thanks so much for this video. It sounds fantastic. Since you told us which pedals you used, it can help me write something like this now :P

[luim5581]

que pedales usas ??

[rockerresident]

what is that thing on the bottom right of the screen?

[Glockenator]

@rockerresident If you're talking about the thing on the table, that would be a lap steel guitar

[insimy]

it reminds me of inception, which is awesome. and this video for sure is super awesome!

[JayDeeSG]

What are you powering everything with? I have a Voodoo pedal power plus 2 and was wondering if it would power the Micro POG?

[straycatsean]

The Antlers?

[MrDeepfriedpizza]

I need a Micro POG. That is absolutely perfect dude.

[FaffiRroundjian12]

do you recommend the micro pog? i was looking at the pog 2, but all i really want to do is make these ambient noises so i guess this might be the cheaper way out, and be space efficient for my board.

do you enjoy it?

[jewelfewel]

COLDPLAY

[pancakes76194]

I am DYING to get a Micro POG man....

[americanXXXlove]

Check out: Misery Signals - Difference of Vengeance and Wrongs

You would like it.

[beatmaker17]

good sound

[Diminished5]

Sounds so ambient. "Like" and "5*" ^_^. By any chance have you made a song or instrumental with that progression of yours?

[Skaul]

To all you people talking about Inception...

Uploaded:

"March 09, 2009 "

[kevdog330]

Do you run your reverb before or after your delay?

[frethand101]

Those were som sweet swells dude.. Are you running 2 delays or something like that??.. I've been tryin to experiment more with whats on the floor lately.. That sounded beautifully even, almost like a church choir singing..

[Moussuxx]

Hey that's very nice ! Whats effect are you using here ?!

[yeahright123go]

NO WAY DUDE is it a coincidence or did you get that from the inception music score???

[Jrclanet]

are you using just the the dl4 delay and a volume pedal?.... i dont understand why you would be using the dd-5 as well. Im really curious if i can get an affect similar to this with just the dl4 and a volume pedal. Can you let me know. Thanks

[tooldruid]

Sounds like a synthesizer...Like Jeff Boyle, from Jakob....

[ihatelumberjacks]

cool sounds like Hammock

[autodefiance]

nice tones and sounds.... you should start a band ! shoegaze, dream pop , post rock. post punk.. you ever hear of Mini Pop?

[whitestripesftw]

Wow. Amazing, 41 seconds and I was transported out of my own mind.

[seapockets]

this is really awesome

[rossmillerlol]

It sounds awesome ! What chords are you using ?

[tubescreamer]

@rossmillerlol Am - Em - Dsus - D

[TheGrandBrand]

@tubescreamer

isn't the first chord a minor seventh one? Am7? ;p

[pidrgu]

Omg this is like 100% inception..not saying u copied on purpose or anything...but sounds beautiful...

[mikefiore6]

@pidrgu note the upload date...

[hermano1383]

such a clean pedalboard!!!!

[skiesxfallxdown]

how the fuck do you do this??? do you just dick around until you figure out all this shit..? it sounds so nasty!

[sergiegears]

PROPS DOODE! you made the song TIME before it even came out on Inception. thats a trip! hans zimmer prlly took it from ur vid lol.

[eeemanjam]

what happed to the other blues deville ? the yellow one?

awsome gear and playing, would love if you could put up some vids from your churchband playing !

[fuelfreak108]

What were the actual chords you were playing? That sounds great dude. I freaking LOVE the RV-5. Easily one of my fave reverbs ever.

[davidbrucemusicvideo]

AMAZING! This is the kind of stuff l'd love to listen to while sleeping. Too bad you stopped so soon!

[Hangup2008]

hey tubescreamer, what are the settings on your line 6 dl4,dd5 and rv5 im assuminsg you micro pog was an octave up, no sub setting. Anyway i want to know the setting cause its sound like the boxer rebellion song "if you run", which is in the new movie Going The Distance with drew barrymore and justin long. SWeet sweet sounds man!!!!!!!

[TheChandanBangar]

What pedal is making the angelic sound?

[angusyoung98]

sound like gilmour castellorizon, nice!

[The81Ghost]

Amazing! Feels like Vangelis or something, nice melody.

How much does it cost for only the swell pedal and swell effect??? (us or ca$)

[fern2225]

This is fucken sick!!

Your sound is just amazing!

[super4slurpeez]

you are fucking awesome. A+++

[romero0519]

Hey tubescreamer, have you seen the movie inception? didn't you hear this ambient chord progression being played in the movie? Ill leave you the link its just like this song you did here only with a full orchestra in the background, i thought you would enjoy the fact you wrote something identical to such a big composer! Im not saying you copying it or anything because the date indicates that you put this up way before! Great music keep it coming

[romero0519]

@romero0519 Search: Inception Soundtrack HD - #12 Time (Hans Zimmer)

[tubescreamer]

@romero0519 sweet i'll check that out!

[romero0519]

@tubescreamer search: inception soundtrack #12 time(hans zimmer)

[Psyk078]

@tubescreamer

Then call your lawyer to file a lawsuit, buy more gear with settlement money! Win!

[klojinum]

@tubescreamer Yeah man I think someone ripped you off! Hah Sue!

[DReidGuitars]

@tubescreamer what pedals r u using to get that ambience and what r the settings on those effects this info would really help. thx

[kampuri]

@tubescreamer romero/tubescreamer.. the composer your referring to is Hans Zimmer! One of my greatest influences. I especially love his album soundtrack for inception. I just got it last summer. I encourage you to get a copy as well :D. Great playing by the way! Was just wondering, what effects did you use to produce that sound? Im guessing hall reverb or delay with a tremolo and chorus?

[farizzal]

@romero0519 HOLY SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT. It's when Cobb talks about his wife and is getting flashbacks and shit!

[krkons]

@romero0519 Agree!I am also not saying about copying.Anyway "Time" just one of the most heartfelt piece of soundtrack I ever heard+)

[kinesthetiac]

@romero0519 I thought that was Am-Em-G-D......

[ZionAfuang]

@kinesthetiac thats the inception version lol.

[TheGrandBrand]

@romero0519

Friend, you're wrong. Inception theme goes: G minor, F#/A#(in bass), Eb, Bmaj7. It's pretty different from the progression here which is a nice one, and tastefully played anyway.

[guibr18]

@romero0519

Woow! That was exactly what I've thought!

It's a Hans Zimmer song called Time, made for the movie, amazing movie by the way!

Seems that Johnny Marr (The Smiths) also recorded with him

[mikeyfatstrings]

loooove the way you used your POG.

i think i'll buy my own, thanks to you!

[stul9045]

Where did you get that lap steel or whatever you call it?

[tubescreamer]

@stul9045 musicians friend ages ago.

[strabbs1]

@tubescreamer how about a demo showing your settings, sounds amazing,how ddo you do it,ie pedals what vlume pedal you use etc

[quinnmyster]

Joe who?

[CanasClone]

@quinnmyster Satriani. I lol'd at the vid.

[quinnmyster]

@CanasClone hahaha..

[Agamez1231]

what's the difference between using 1 delay pedal and 2 delay pedals? and also how do you use them both together? confusing stuff haha

[drkam6]

Fantastic indeed, thank you for posting. That RV-5 seems to be an amazing reverb pedal. Will check it out for sure.

[fishqwer]

Are you using both the octave up and the octave down?

[tubescreamer]

@fishqwer yes.

[fishqwer]

@tubescreamer Sorry to keep bothering you with stupid questions. I actually added the micro POG and Boss RV-5 to my board partially because I saw your vids so thanks.

[Enstanada]

What pedal are you useing O: ima get one of them

[tubescreamer]

@Enstanada video description my friend......

[TheMetallkylling]

All you need now is a quick arpeggio delay :D

[thomaslovesyou]

sweet dude. nicely done- i basically have your setup too- just ordered the POG, can't wait to try & do some of the stuff you're pullin off- thanks

[crescentwire]

Unbelievably cool. Sounds like "Hammock." What exact config are you using with those pedals? And what settings on each? Would love to try to recreate this on my own setup...

[ginge115]

@ciadude2

sorry i ment i wasnt saying what this guy had done was without talent even though i said it wa quite easy, not that you were insulting him.

[ginge115]

@ciadude2

hi its really quite easy not to insult this guy his video sounds awseome, what you do is put your delay on short and reverb on quite a long time, then you play a chord and you turn the volume nob on your guitar or use a pedal and go from no sound to a sound then turn it back down the delay and the rerb mean the sound keeps going but it fades out then you play another chord and turn it up and repeat the smae process witch creates these swells of sound that increase a disapate.

[Deankillz]

Does the micro pog play a big role in getting your swells so full?

[raginrEggie]

Kinda makes me wish I kept my Pog, do buildup your own chords or use structures you've found?

[toolkd777]

that's sick man

[julio130077]

what pedals do you use  at same time ?

[danielgutie]

can you post your pog settings?

i bought a micro pog and reverb just to get this sound.

along with my delays and comp.

(suer amazing job BTW)

[dcbfan1231]

whoa, that was very good. how do you do that?

[dsbm223]

Aurgasm.

[brianwurst1234]

OK......how did you do that?

[AndreAlchimia]

I read you use at the same time the dl 4 and the boss DD-5...

is this combination of two delays fundamental to reach a swell like yours?

Thx

Cheers from Italy

[tubescreamer]

@AndreAlchimia to me, having two delays at the same time is pretty fundamental, but i don't think it necessarily has to be those specific ones.

[befrankis]

you should try out the digitech hardwire reverb its amazing for ambiant effects

[squierplayer]

awesome! i wish i could get my ambient effect to sound like that

[dkrumrie123]

that's cool as hell dude. very impressed

[badassmusician]

WOW that Pog sounds AMAZING!!!

[TacooGrill]

whats the setting on the dl4 and the rv-5 on? it just sounds great

[melvincoleguitar07]

Sexy atmospheric sounds dude

[tubescreamer]

Thanks :)

[satoribox]

What a motherfucking tone!!!

You absolutely nailed it!!!

Great Job!

Peace!

[aliensporebomb]

Never heard a telecaster sound like that before. Kudos!

[nrt3296]

what are your pog settings and how do you like it im thinking about getting one

[ChewyFilms]

Could I use some of your music for videos?

[tubescreamer]

Absolutely!

[Jon4020]

all i gotta say is: you got some NASTY tone, and by nasty i mean amazing. it sounds like a synth, wow

[lespaulplayer1234512]

beautiful!!!!

[joenuts]

Hi dude, nice work, love the ambient sounds, I'm a delay lover and I have a question about Ernie Ball volume Jr, I saw on EB web page and noticed that there's some kind of models (e.g) Stereo / Mono or 500k , 250 k whatever it means, so, do you know what's the difference on that?? or what's the model that you are using in the video??

thanks man !

[Niteblub]

are u using multitap delay?

[Firebirdshite]

This is gorgeous

[Firebirdshite]

Absolutely beautiful.

[tubescreamer]

thanks :)

[Nerular]

wow bro... in a world of guys who think fast fingers is where it's at, I am truly impressed. Beautiful.

[tubescreamer]

thank you! while i do enjoy some fast fingers, i think playing slow and concise can be just as hard and interesting!

[Katerinamusic]

I wanna get this exact swell tone!...

how you doing it! i wanna know the exact settings on the pedals.. :P hehe

[denzl11]

@Katerinamusic if you look at the POG2 video demo

apparently all you need is

a volume pedal

a delay pedal

and a pog

[playguitar6789]

we have the exact same guitar and a few of the same pedals ahha.

[thrice451]

what's the pedal you're pushing down on to give you that sound?

[sonnycrocket]

That would be a voume pedal, probably an Earnie Ball.
