death by audio effects rooms demo and review
Hey, my name is Emily. This is get offset and this is the rooms, by death by audio effects. It’s a big boy. I was a little surprised at the size of it. Um, lady hands for scale,
[00:00:19] but it’s a stereo reverb pedal with a lot of fun things, uh, up at sleeve, including an alt function. Which I will get to, but let’s just start with the basics. Six, there are six modes that you select here. And so you don’t forget what they are. They’re clearly listed here. We have room, we have, which is a room reverb.
[00:00:43] We have the digital, peak, gate, wave, which is like a vibrato situation. And then we have gong, which is kind of wild. Um, we have time, which I th it seems to be more like a decay. frequency, which, and these frequency and depths tends to kind of vary. You know, what setting you’re on, which is not uncommon.
[00:01:12] A frequency generally seems to be tone. But depth can also generally the tone, or it can be the stereo spread. So this is a stereo reverb pedal. So plug your headphones in, please get the full effect of what this thing can do. Then we have our blending in and our dry blend, which is really cool. We also have this alt that I mentioned, so you can select completely separate parameters for frequency, depth.
[00:01:42] And time and kind of clicked and clicked through them, but we’re not going to start with that. So, uh, I’m going to demo this on the guitar, probably not going to do bass for now because reverb can be kind of weird on base. If you really want to see what bass leave a comment and maybe I’ll do it. And yeah, I have some time.
[00:02:01] Great. Well, I hope you enjoy the rest of the demo, please. Like comment, subscribe. Uh, please. Check us out on patriotic. Please check out shirts like this1@getoffatpodcasts.com slash shop. Uh, you can get sleepless or slaved up. I’m wearing, you know, the sleeveless shirt up on a sleeve sleeved up lifestyle.
[00:02:22] Probably better cover that. Um, yes, enjoy. I have my Squire supersonic parent for the paranormal series. Uh, And they’re on the Lawler Lawler inferior pickups, and they’re are on the split single coils. At the moment I put that pig down, actually
[00:02:50] turn the room down on the radio game. Let’s take a set at about noon.
[00:02:58] cool.
[00:04:14] so you can hear how the frequency, it sounds to my ears. Like it’s affecting the tone on the trails. Yeah.
[00:04:43] volume control there. So we can turn that all the way down. No signal passing. We can do it on full
[00:05:29] Let’s cycle through some of these. So that was the room and this is the digit. Okay.
[00:06:30] Next it’s peak.
[00:07:41] Gated, which is really cool on drums and stuff.
[00:08:42] Great next we have wave. And this is the weirdest one. I think this is weird or almost been gong. So
[00:08:59] Okay.
[00:09:16] Probably the most literal definition of a depth.
[00:09:35] Yeah, so pretty clearly more like a depth and rate of these guys.
[00:11:57] Yeah,
[00:13:39] I’ve had some comments that say that the most are a little long and that’s just, cause I tend to just have fun when I’m doing them, because that’s not like I make really any money doing these, so I’m going to do what I want. And I want to have fun. There’s not enough joy in this world. And when I find something that makes me happy, I’m not going to put it down until I have to.
[00:13:57] Um, yeah, but that’s it. 12 ish minute, look at rooms by death, by audio effects. Um, check out the episode of the podcast. There’s a podcast with Oliver from DVA. It was really a lovely conversation and so much fun. And we talked about rooms a bit. Uh, but man, I think this is a really stellar, stellar, Reaver and pedal.
[00:14:20] I mean, it’s pretty big. My hands aren’t that small, like, you know, that’s all. Um, but they packed a lot into this thing. I think the all features are pretty, pretty cool. And I liked the gong more than I thought I would. I think I like a peak in room, a lot to wave. I can imagine using on some Sunday crush songs.
[00:14:47] Uh, that’s my band, uh, and digital’s great gait. I would love to put that. I would love to put a drum machine through that and maybe I will. But yes, this is really, really, really neat. And it’s pretty beautiful. Do you see, this is, is the camera picking up the sparkles? Do I have to like move this light around a little bit?
[00:15:08] Maybe you can see the sparkles sparkles. Cool. So yes. Great job by the crew at death by, um, thank you so much. I was at this pedal in exchange for the demo. It’s really cool. Stereo reverbs, please. If you didn’t watch this with headphones in, please watch it again with headphones in. So he gets a full effect of everything.
[00:15:30] This was, this is capable of, um, if you do want to buy this pedal, I think you combine the directly through the site.
