episode 149: Ep. 149 - They Should Call This Color Ashtray Glass
- Question from Doug Gann on Discord: “Phantom power! What the fuck is it? When do I use it? When do I not use it? How do I know? (stab: Aguilar Octamizer)
- Small builder from Righteous Ryan - DEMEDASH EFFECTS (stab: Kilobyte Delay)
- Made in Canada by Steve Demedash.
- Steve currently makes 2 pedals: the T-120 Videotape Echo and the 112+ Drive Channel
- T-120
- Inspired by the garbled audio that comes from cruddy, worn out VHS tapes.
- It sounds extremely good. Like, this is more than just a modulated delay.
- Controls for time, echo, intensity, depth, speed, and tape quality
- It’s available in a standard and a deluxe version. Deluxe has soft switching, echo trails, full wet to full dry mix, self oscillation switch, stereo out via TRS
- Inspired by the garbled audio that comes from cruddy, worn out VHS tapes.
- 112+ Drive Channel
- Schecter guitars wanted to trade him a guitar of his choice for some pedals so he designed an overdrive pedal for the trade
- Internal chargepump is boosting it up to 34V!
- Features a JFET preamp, a voice control that sets how much bass is passed through to the drive section.
- Drive section is big a wide, can get clippy and fuzzy. Signal is reamplified after the drive then goes to 3band active EQ (boost/cut)
- Sounds really nice. Can get splattery, but also has a nice crisp jangle to it.
