Ambient Song featuring the El Capistan Sound On Sound looper

[Bladi4n]

This is amazing! 

[Giuseppetiberi]

wonderfull



[benbrown4544]

How are you running your blue sky and el cap in stereo together? thanks

[kevdog330]

@benbrown4544 he's probably going mono into the el cap because it only has mono inputs then stereo out into the blue sky with stereo ins.

[MrWilly2204]

Amazing. Took me on a journey. Thank you!

[mangavore]

Your sound is just fabulous! By your fault, I bought a Strymon El Capistan, but thank you ^^

[wiwif]

Its like... I wana move on to other videos but I just cant stop playing this over and over...

[whereisthiscity]

MAgic!

[rarteaga]

Hey man, I've been subscribed for a while and love all your stuff. It's funny that the whole ambient thing (via guitar) has become so popular in the last few years though I like it. I've grown so tired of all the blues based or just distortion distortion distortion. I was just wondering if you have listened to good old Michael Brook? What about any of the Cocteau Twins stuff? Any band project in the works with your current song writing style? Thanks and take care.

[littlesting]

good guitar skills! and a great sound! wooow! 

[tonyparkerfly]

Incredible.....

[oprahdidntdie4ursins]

I'd kill for a matchless, it sucks that they cost as much as my bank account! lol!

[supermankjkkk]

@oprahdidntdie4ursins HA! you must be from dirty bays

[Leodorus]

Very beautiful soundscape..

[Wired912]

I've been watching your videos for quite a while now, and I really, really enjoy them. None of them disappoint. And I really like the fact that you serve God, and I can tell that in your music. Keep it up!

[slava1000000]

why only one thumb up per one people

[007onlytaller]

This is my new porn.

[switchfan4]

this is literally the most beautiful guitar sound i've ever heard. well done.

[tubescreamer]

@switchfan4 thank you!

[ibanezman04]

Oh. My. God.

[soapboxracer182]

Hey really love your stuff man. I just got into ambient playing and got the strymon BSR for that reason. Stumbled upon your vids, but i have a question for ya. I saw in some of your other vids you also use an RV5. The BSR seems like its got everything you can think of on the reverb front, any reason you got both in particular and use them together? Is it so you can have the BSR on shimmer and the RV5 on smthg else? Lemme know, cause im diggin your sound!

[tubescreamer]

@soapboxracer182 I honestly hate shimmer sounds, I think they're really cheesy. I use the BSR for big plate and room sounds and leave the RV5 on modulate mode.

[bondman00794]

Matchless For The Win

[mark7654321]

man u sound great!! i dont know what type of music you listen to but check out a Helios albumn called Eingya. theres alot of parts similiar to the things you got goin on in ur vids so i think u might like it. Sons of Light and Darkness, Bless this Morning Year, and Dragonfly Across an Open Sky are really good off it.

[kevenrtz]

crazyfreak1919

eb vp pedals suck tone check out jhs website on it really interesting !!! .

[rockstar4jc]

how do you have your controls set on the blues jr? I can't get mine to sound half that good.

[songblam]

excellent...

[crazyfreak1919]

Sounds fantastic man.

Since you're quite the gear wiz: what do you think of the Goodrich 120 vs the EB volume pedals?

[tubescreamer]

@crazyfreak1919 they're more reliable.

[frenzyfury1]

Nice soundscape.

[Twanger73]

Very nice, I love the volume pedal stuff. I always thought Michael Landau was great at the volume swell "pads", have you listened to him much? I think the El Capistan will be my next pedal purchase, I've really wanted one for a while now...what a great sound. That's some beautiful music you're making, keep it up!

[41224jason]

how the heck do you get the looper to stay that clean for so long? even with tape age/bias/flutter set to minimum, my el capistan gets basically indistinguishable after a few minutes. yours sounded perfect throughout

[tubescreamer]

@41224jason make sure your repeats knob isn't all the way up... make it just high enough so that it's not decaying, but too high will make it start getting saturated and distorted really fast.

[MusicGuyKevin]

Just wondering.. Are you at all influenced by The Edge from U2?

[pickle808]

what glass slide are you using??

[tubescreamer]

@pickle808 not glass... it's chrome/metal?

[mstatefan08]

dude, this is awesome! If you dont mind, what settings do you have your blueSky and Carbon Copy on? I have both but I have a hard time getting my blueSky to dwell enough, but not overpower everything or have a nasty bite. thanks man

[PicturaSonus]

Wow, this is fantastic!

[lostincadence]

These videos never disappoint.

[laxbro518]

What are your settings on the reverb?

[szhixson]

how do you keep your swells so smooth? i have a blue sky, but i cant seem to get the same dwell effect as you unless i play louder, which sounds too edgy for ambient. do you just play everything soft?

[DinosaurJr169]

awesome! you guys should give Rems Floating Chandelier a listen:)

[BlueEnigma34]

The noise in this recording adds to the music, gives it more atmosphere. Nice sounds here and a really interesting way to use a guitar, keep it up.

[iamsomebodysomewhere]

Thiiis was beautiful.

[twistedH3L1X]

Wow! Me likey! I hear breathy Julie Cruise vocals on top. PROFIT!!!

[matrixman609]

you have the blue sky and the el capistan!? that is so awesome. plus, you make them sound even better!

[atinkupongsingsing]

I'm poor..I cant afford these pedals...I'm quitting..nonetheless, your awesome!

[ticoa0p4]

Hello andrew, i'd like to know how do you power supply your set up??

Thank you very much.

[KevinEmerge]

I've had this on repeat all day. I feel like I'm underwater listening to this.

[theMuranosBand]

Still... it's really good.

[theMuranosBand]

It's crazy how this sounds so much like Hammock.

[The1970sInfatuate]

This is so refreshing to anyone's ears.

[ThatBrentGuy13]

My god, what a beautiful sound...

[godfrey902]

What happened to your Blues Deville? Nice Matchless by the way.

[pickle808]

what pedal order should I have?? Guitar into reverb, into volume pedal into delay? I have a RV-5, dd20, dl4, and a volume pedal on the way. I was thinking of using the dl4 pedal for looping background ambient sound...

[karlboman]

I just keep getting more impressed by Strymon's pedals. El Capistan, you beckon...

[clasicelectriguitar]

Hello. Do you have excelente rig, excelent amps but why always i listen the same crackked.

Sorry my english.

[GuitarSindre]

I want to learn how to play like that !

[smnewthtrblnmnd]

great job Andy, another awesome song of yours.

[fuegofreak]

phenomenal. thank you.

[Cejalvin]

Waho... amazing, this song sounds very close to Pg.Lost or Explosions in The Sky, I LOVE IT!

[WaneS1]

I'm listening metallica, limp bizkit and slpknot. But this music just buitiful...

[pickle808]

Amazing!!... currently trying to achieve this ambient tone but not sure where to start. Im playing out of a fender blues junior and have a dd-20, line 6 dl4, and a boss rv-5 pedal so far. Can't even come close this this sound. Any suggestions, such as exact pedal settings for those pedals?? Other pedals that I should invest in? which way to arrange the pedals? thanks...

[AcousticLabs]

I went out and bought a volume pedal last week because of these videos.

[tubescreamer]

@AcousticLabs nice

[sportsportsport]

@AcousticLabs SAME!

[jumpmanflys]

@tubescreamer just read description ignore question

[jumpmanflys]

@tubescreamer what volume pedal are you using?

[MrGuitarmadness]

You,sir,are fucking awesome.Best music I've ever heard.You have a gift from God.Thank God for Youtube,thank you for improving your skills...

[SexyBac0n]

I am really jealous of your username... You deserve it though :)

[BrokenBlivion]

yo i know your busy but before i ask have you ever heard of the lunar echo pedal by dmb? If so how does the EL CAPISTAN compare to it? please respond thanks

[elementdriv3r]

Quick question about the blueSky...what are you using for power? I just got mine, and my Pedal Power 2 and blueSky don't seem to get along. There is a weird electronic clicking, and the bypass LED flashes. The unit works fine with the supplied power supply, but I would prefer to use my PP2. I will try to contact Strymon as well. And so its said again by someone else...great video as always.

[kevdog330]

@elementdriv3r You need a PP2+ and put the strymon in inputs 5 or 6 on normal setting....If you not you have to use the plug in the back.

[auau1]

maybe u should be a keys player :)

[777jordan]

is it a voice at 4:33?

[LemonTartProductions]

Take this to a studio and do a studio recording of it. I'll buy.

[spakuloid]

beautiful stuff - love it

[kevdog330]

Favorite video so far.....I'm getting a BSR soon! Have the money just waiting for them to come back in stock!

[taztherocker]

Nice....

[Wired912]

I fell asleep while watching this! Haha

[luke631]

what an ending!!!

[AbandonedScotland]

Really liking this song, I hope you don't mind me using it in a short video? I'll post it as a response to this anyway.

[martwizzle]

any chance of the audio for this one? :)

[amygdalaSG]

i love how you used the pedals to modulate the sound. nice one :)

[poocoop]

So good. Like crazy good.

[amarr1]

I watched this 5 times today.

[amarr1]

@amarr1 All right, seriously, I cannot get enough of this one. Thank you youtuberepeater!

[The1970sInfatuate]

So spacious...

[Adji87]

Really awesome mate, so atmospheric.

[arrman92]

The noise actually adds some ambience IMO =)

[luckyphilster]

just. plain. awesome......thank you

[scorpguitar79]

fantastic as always. btw how the fuck did you get the camera angle? U hanging it from the ceiling or what?

[tubescreamer]

@scorpguitar79 i attached a flip cam to a mic stand

[GunnerRecall33]

How do you get such clean recordings from mic'd guitar amps? I'm always picking up background noise.

[tubescreamer]

@GunnerRecall33 i cheated a little bit and used izotope's denoiser plugin.

[Xevamir]

What kind of volume pedal are you running now?

[bassandguitargreg]

@Xevamir looks like he's running with a Goodrich volume

[Xevamir]

@bassandguitargreg Yeah I saw his other video and read the description. Doh!

Thanks!

[Dunnization]

[Mrguitar171]

Great stuff!! Love the matchless. :)

[mirrastyle4524]

i restarted my browser with this open while listen to "if i could change the world" by eric clapton, and needless to say i was confused. its in the same key and was crazy. haha

[iscareuiknowit]

@mirrastyle4524 After you said that, I had to try it. IT'S AWESOME!!!!

[notthedj]

Awesome performance, epic.

[ElGbayRGX]

Really amazing job i love your style !!!!!

[joespenny]

What an awesome way to bring in the "rapture".

[omo3tetia4]

There's nothing better when you're a little bit drunk, you come back home, you sit in front of your computer at night and listen to this heavenly music.

Cheers man

[MaestrosounD]

@omo3tetia4 same experience here in NY :P

[Olithar]

The world can end now.

[tubescreamer]

@Olithar guess not

[Olithar]

@tubescreamer Jesus was ready, but this made Him realize there is still some good in the world. :-D

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@tubescreamer hey got a question....i know you used the el capistan as a loop but was there also a delay coming from it as well....or was that just coming straight from the carbon copy...i just bought a super reverb ...things so freakin awesome....i was gonna wait and be responsible and not buy some pedals but i just cant help it....i have to have those strymons...anyways....just curious before i buy

[tubescreamer]

@ihaveaverybadcold the delay was from the carbon copy... you can't use the delay on the el capistan while you are looping.

[silentscream1214]

@tubescreamer like the DL4...one of the only faults i find with that pedal

[naitsabesesop]

@tubescreamer Really awesome man!!! great work!!! can you make this 'sound on sound' with a Boomerang III?

[takaminesteve]

nice work, very atmospheric 

[hillysats]

Its been a while, glad to see that this still interests you

[ancientdead]

sweet! not that much noise, but it adds a little atmosphere to it!



[mordecai52005]

the noise you mentioned, i think its adds something cool to the overall sound. like waves, or a constant breeze. i love your music.

[amarr1]

This is fucking gorgeous.

[xxPunKxxForeveRxx]

when i see this guy playing music is like i forget the earth problems and see what we can do it gives me hope to move on...

[guigdo]

great man! sounds good

[kantefier]

Thank you, Andrew. You made my... night :) greetings from Russia, where it's almost tomorrow already.

Love your music!

[thricex05]

goodrich volume pedal rules.

probably the smoothest volume pedal out there.

my only complaint is that the outputs and inputs are all on one side.

[szhixson]

pedalboard update please!

[MrSneakymode]

I just got my El Capistan on Tuesday, such an awesome pedal!

[giorgiocesaroni]

Awesome, Strymon makes amazing pedals
