This is a demonstration of some of the shoegaze / post-rock / ambient guitar effects you can get with the Boss RV-5 Digital Reverb and the Boss DD-7 Digital Delay. I'm playing an Epiphone G-310 through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with just the two aforementioned pedals engaged.

  • Hey alluringlights, is your amp at all modded?

  • @sanchito1975 Nope.

  • Who the hell disliked this? Good stuff. Reminds me of Slowdive and Cocteaus. I have the same amp and delay pedal. It's cool to hear someone else doing these sounds with some of the same gear.

  • @Crucifixism Precisely the two artists I was trying to sound like! No idea about the dislike though. Haha.

  • do you have any good shoegaze setting for your DD7? I have one setting that i quite like, but i want some for reference as i'm fairly new to writing shoegaze

  • @HitmanJenkins1 The key to shoegaze is a "layered" guitar sound, so the initial repeats should be at least as loud as the original dry signal. This can be done by turning the effect level to 3 o'clock (or further). The result (when combined with heavy reverb) is an amorphous swirl of notes. I use an external footswitch to make the repeats occur in time with the song, but this is actually totally unnecessary. As for feedback, I just try to keep it back far enough to prevent squealing.

  • This is awesome. I've been trying to categorize my own music, but it just has so many different elements, all I could really say is alternative new-progressive shoegaze space post-rock.

  • lmao this sounds the smoke's alarm from Lost.

  • cover some slowdive

  • Put some deep base arpeggios layered under this similar to Radiohead "All I Need" and this would be absolutely amazing......truth be told...it is already amazing.  Will hve my rig complete soon and begin making lush soundscapes.

  • Great sounds man!

  • Floating in Space.

  • listening to shoegaze, gazing at my converse.

  • Reminds me of Stars of the Lid.
