This pedal will go down in history as my most filmed pedal of all time, I jokingly put take 98 on what I thought was the last take, only to have to upload take 99. More on this later......
Here is the @jimilee Super Rat, it is a take on the Proco Rat with 8 different hard clipping options and a soft clipping option along with a low end control which makes it super fun to dial in tones. I really appreciate Jimilee and his patience with me as I reworked and made so many revisions to what I wanted to show in this demo. It is really hard to describe the feel of different clipping options without sounding like a fucking idiot.
"This feels lighter and tends to pillow the notes."
"This has clipping option has a sense of longing only a robot would know."
"This clipping option took my v card."
Instead you get four different guitars, additional pedals and by golly some nice wholesomeness.
I love this pedal (setting 7!!! SPLOOOSH) and it has made it on a lot of my videos so far and will be in heavy rotation for a long time. Here is take 99;
Now you may be wondering "why would a pedal take so long to film?"
A lot of changes have been going on behind the scenes at Flabby Choad studios (working title). The first few takes were me just noodling around showing off the different sounds and was what most of my early videos are. There was a lot of riffing and random bits of talking and information and hum, so much hum and just so many things I did not like.
That is when the tear down started...
I tore all of the amps out, tore out a rack of guitars that was in the closet and got rid of them. A 1x12 cabinet was put in its place along with the microphones and sound paneling to cut down on amp noise. Microphones were added and the cabling was cleaned up and the de-Lisle Amp switcher entered the picture, then more cabling was made.
And then more cabling was made and then more cabling was made and then more cabling was made and then more cabling was made and then more cabling was made and then more cabling was made and then more cabling was made.
As previous discussed with @Guardians of the analog making cable is a labor of necessity and not one of love.
Then once all was thought complete, when there was peace and cleanliness in the lands, the idea of using multiple guitars with multiple amps with every pedal came into my head. More super rat videos were filmed, take 98 was the one, it was glorious! Only to find that when I have the camera between my guitar rack and myself it goes out of focus every time I pass a guitar through the field of vision.....
Now I have to fix this problem and set up the pedal and camera differently and change up some of the lighting but it all is paying off.
This video sounds way better to me, is much more concise and to the point and is much more inline with what I would like to do. Hope you all enjoy it and sorry for the ranting but I think you passionate fools know what I cam going through.
