The Cutting Room Floor by Recovery Effects is a lot of good noise jammed into one box. It can get echo, pitch shifting, modulation, and glitch noises out of your instrument of choice.
The easiest parameter to understand is Delay. Turn the knob to adjust the time. You can have single repeats or multiple repeats depending on the S/R toggle.
Next is the Wow control, which gives you that vinyl-type big modulation.
The Stabil switch turns the flutter, or the more tape-deck modulation sound, on or off. Use it in conjunction with the wow. The Shape knob controls the shape of the Flutter, from triangle to square.
The Freeze switch features momentary latching and will loop the playback head as your stepping on it.
The Blend knob, in addition to controlling the mix, also affects the Freeze switch. To the left models playback of the Ampex 456 Tape, and to the right models the playback of the Ampex 499 tape.
Guitar is Tunatone Teeny Tuna
Bass is Fender Mustang Player Series
Guitar amp is Strymon Iridium, Round, B
Bass amp is Fender Rumble Studio 40

Hey, I’m Emily and you’re watching get offset. I’m here today with my neighbors puddle, the cuttering hahaha the cutting room floor by recovery effects. So let’s walk through the controls a little bit volume overall volume of the panel. I found that again, it’s pretty loud, which is neat. And there’s a little bit of like overdrive gain kind of sound in there, which is really cool.
[00:00:24] The blend that’s the next. The delay is the delay time that you mix in. And then the flutter in, wow. Here are the key to kind of getting a nice little analog or chorusy sound, wow. As kind of the lower, slower kind of like vinyl records sort of feel. and then a flutter is more of a tape. Kind of degradation sort of feel the shade controls the shape of the flutter.
[00:00:55] There’s a couple of waves that, that controls, this is single repeats for the delay versus multiple repeats. You can’t control the amount of repeats, but I feel like this goes from a really nice little single slap back and, the infinite repeats, you’re not gonna miss. I don’t think because of this freeze function, which will hold whatever is in the what’s the tape loops head.
[00:01:20] So, you’ll see me play around with this and the shape knob and the blend knob a little bit, but, I don’t know how much to my ear. It felt like it was affecting it. That might be just my brain. Cause it’s not quite what I got from the manual, but that. Hey, I heard it. Maybe you heard it, maybe not. but I get kind of obsessed with this freeze now, especially in the guitar.
[00:01:43]cause I don’t have a lot of pedals that have that like a freeze hold is one of my favorite features in, a guitar pedal that has delay and that this is like a modulator delay that you really control the modulation on. Anna has that. I’m a fan. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. and then this stability basically turns the flutter on or off.
[00:02:07] I felt like up was on and down was off, but it’s a little harder for my year to hear the flutter. I don’t know. I feel like my brain was playing tricks on me with this palette. Cause there’s so much going on. You can get really wild and glitchy or you can get like, Really kind of more of a normal sort of delay with a little bit of lo-fi kind of vibes happening.
[00:02:31] So let’s get to the demo.
[00:02:59] Ooh, there it is.
[00:03:09] Air plus play there. You gotta, you gotta go into me. Yeah.
[00:03:34] So this toggle, when it’s down, it will only give you a single repeat on the leg. Up multiples
[00:03:56] and the delay knob is actually a time now
[00:04:04] that’s the next.
[00:07:08] Yeah,
[00:07:42]let’s turn blend back up. I don’t know why I turned it down.
[00:10:10] if you couldn’t tell them a little obsessed with via a freeze button pedal. So yeah, stick around and I’ll run the slow guy on bass guitar. See in a second.
[00:11:27] Okay.
[00:12:09] okay. Yeah. So up is the flutter. Cause you don’t hear it there.
[00:12:23] Alright. Sorry. It’s ridiculous. What am I doing? Maybe it wasn’t cause that was on.
[00:12:34] Hmm.
[00:14:00] so those are some rubber band sounds for sure.
[00:14:11] I think the flat, the flutter is the faster occurring of those. I’m bored of ownings frequent
[00:14:29] all right. I think was pedal is ridiculous on bass. Yeah. that are, I’m just not good enough of a basis to really, to attain that. But, that is still, I think really cool. I really love this pedal, especially on guitar. yeah. Yeah. It’s just really nice. Like you can go from just a little bit of warble to so much horrible.
[00:14:55] You can’t stand it. I a little bit of, my ear. I must not be finely tuned enough to really hear the differences in the shape for the flutter. Like the manual says it’s supposed to control. but that’s again, I don’t have the most trained ear in the world for sale
[00:15:21] yeah, I think that I’m only guitar. It’s probably the best. It’s the best, but, on base it’s like night and day kind of moody, like.
[00:15:36] I can fully imagine using it on bass or any other instrument. but yeah, this is another really cool one for recovery effects. I really hope that you check it out. I hope you liked this video. I hope you come back to see our demo. Okay. Of gallows in the morning. Friday, August 7th, if you’re watching this on.
[00:15:57] Thursday, August sixth. So yeah, check back for that. See, our other recovery effects demos has, has been recovery effects week on the good offset YouTube channel. So thanks for watching. Thanks for understanding, please like comment, subscribe. Tell me how I don’t understand pedals. Sure. Fine. Whatever until next time.
[00:16:21] Goodbye.
