The Recovery Effects White Gold choral synthesizer is lush, dreamy, pitch-shifty wonder for guitar, bass, synth, and drum machines alike.
The first in our Recovery Effects Week series, its official description reads, “White Gold creates densely lush harmonized textures, synthesized pads, and shimmering ensembles. Use it on any instrument, drum machine, synth, or vocal. Effortless at any setting, it’s designed to resonate, glisten, and always stay musical. White Gold easily makes a single instrument track resonate and sparkle with beautiful complexity. It is the perfect tool for adding lush, intricate, synth-like layers to any arrangement.”
Controls:
Lush is the primary color, adding rich, modulated texture to the original source.
Glimmer blends a shimmering octave up.
Glow adds sparkling 5ths.
Level controls the overall blend.

Hey, I’m Emily from get offset. And today I’m here with a product that my neighbors made. it is the white gold coral synthesizer by recovery effects based out of Seattle, Washington. this is actually the second time I’m filming this intro because I was technically wrong about some things, but I really would like to see, but.
[00:00:22] This is just a beautiful pedal. I’m really excited for you to watch the rest of this video. I demo it first on guitar and then on the back and, it’s and then some other things, and it is killer. It’s a, it’s kind of like reverby spacial, like. If you’re an ambient player, like this is a dream for you. So this, the, there are three different knobs and you can use them either on their own or blended.
[00:00:52] And with other things are blends together. I mean, this first one is lush and that is your sort of base primary note. and then you have, Glow, which I think goes up an octave or glimmer, which goes up one of these onto the, one of these is the fifth. I will clarify that underneath me right now be a subtitle.
[00:01:15] Right. And it will be in the video description. I just honest to God have a terrible memory for some of these things. I’m sorry, I’m just, that’s not how my brain works. So this thing is made to be played with synthesizers. It’s made to be played, with guitar, with drum machines, all kinds of cool things.
[00:01:37] So I am really stoked for it to hear this pedal is recovery effect. We could get us@podcast.com and our YouTube channel. So thanks for watching. Enjoy the rest of the video.
[00:01:59] You do need to, blend and any one of these to start getting signal, even if the level is up. So keep that in mind.
[00:02:40] yeah.
[00:05:08] So that’s all of them separately. I feel like they suck. Like they get weirder as you go along. This is a nice subtler one with some nice modulation on it. And these both seem to have a bit of an octave up a little choppier, really unique. So let’s, let’s start blending them together.
[00:05:36] Wow.
[00:06:53] okay. Oh, my God.
[00:11:04]mm.
[00:13:55] Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. this is actually my first time playing this pedal and I kind of came in. not having really watched any demos for it. I really wanted to come in with no expectations on this pedal in particular. and maybe, and like that is the yeah. Full. If you do like ambient stuff, like, I feel like this is kind of a necessity for your board.
[00:14:26] Like, I don’t usually say that. I think you need this pedal, but this is like, Dang. Those are three, the extremely unique and beautiful reverb algorithms that you can blend together. I wasn’t expecting that. That is so cool. I think that I like having this on really any of, of the, of the effects, just because these two are kind of octave APY.
[00:14:50] So I think you need to get this, when you’re playing guitar, I’m actually going to go ahead and put my bass on, get my bass rig ready. I wasn’t planning on demoing this pedal on base for some time, probably just cause I forgot, but now I feel like I have to. So stick around second half of the video of this on base.
[00:15:09] I think it’ll be really cool. All right. See you in a second. Okay, welcome back to the second half of this video with my baby.
[00:15:20] I forgot to mention. In the first half I was playing my two to tone guitar through my stream and Iridium round B, setting a drive at nine o’clock room at about nine o’clock as well, a kind of a middle cut situation. And I’m playing my fender. Mustang player series, bass with my offender, rumble studio 40, which is a modeling amp that I quite like.
[00:15:47] So you’ve already heard the clean signal. And let me turn these knobs back down.
[00:16:58]wow.
[00:17:03] You can hear, I can hear the pitch shifting differences a lot more clearly. On base and it’s obviously not active. I will put notes in the description of this video. That more completely explains what everything is and what it does and where all the algorithms are. And if you’re watching this video, I’ve probably put subtitles things underneath it.
[00:17:43] Now let’s blend them together.
[00:17:59] That is so weird and I really love that.
[00:18:11] Okay.
[00:21:19] all right. Well, I don’t want this video to be too long, but I think it’s really cool on Vegas. And I can almost, I can almost hear what it’s doing more on base. Cause there’s less going on, with the tracking and stuff compared to like, Playing chords. I think that like these two, the, the lush and the glimmer up more, and then just a little bit of that glow in there is like, Ooh, that’s a nice sound.
[00:21:45] I really like that. Hey, I’m back surprised. I was just thinking about this pedal after I finished the base demo and thought, why don’t I try it with a drum machine? So I had my boss. RC 10 R on my lap here, and I’m going to put it through this pedal. so the pedals already on my beats already going. So here’s what that sounds like.
[00:22:16] That’s fine
[00:22:26] down there for sure, but nothing. Major yet.
[00:22:55] so actually it does sound a lot different. And, finally liver
[00:23:15] and it’s going to be really fun when it makes these together. I think there’s going to be a little bit of tracking weirdness, but I’m excited for it.
[00:24:35] Oh, yeah. That’s what it sounds like with a drum machine. It’s pretty, it’s pretty cool. That’s, that’s fun. That’s the most fun I’ve had with a drum machine since I demoed the ghost facts on drums, which I think you should check out. Cool. yeah. Well, thanks for watching that part of the video too. I’ll see you in a bit later.
[00:24:53] Okay. Once again, I’m here with the last thing I’m going to demo the white gold with from deep space devices. I don’t know if they still make these butts a little synthesizer. Boy, I’m really excited. So I’m, it’s, it’s a sequencer, that’s about it. And, let’s, let’s run it through the white gold. So first let me turn this off.
[00:25:19] Turn this on. This is my dry signal.
[00:25:44] Let’s get a fun little sequence going. I feel like
[00:25:52] cool.
[00:26:05] All right, let’s add it. Let’s try the other ones out.
[00:26:32] by far. I think you can hear like the patterns and the different knobs slash settings algorithms a lot more clearly on guitar and the scent than you could on the drum machine. And the base. So let’s just, let’s let’s do the blending. That’s gotta be fun. That’s gonna be a lot of fun.
[00:27:24] what’s really cool is you’re making a little power cord, even though this guy can only do one note at a time.
[00:28:02] If it’s just one kind of wobbling
[00:28:43] Yeah, this deserves to be called a coral synthesizer. I get it now. I get it. Well, that’s the last thing I’m demoing this with. I probably cut this out. I talked about this earlier after I did the base, but. And I don’t say this a lot, but if you are like an ambient player, I really think this is a must have, this is like three really cool sounds that you can use either together or separately.
[00:29:05] I think separately, they’re just really cool, weird little reverbs that does either your normal note, a fifth up or an octave up. So that’s really neat to me. I don’t know anything bad to say about this pedal. It’s exciting. It’s probably not going to be that always on pedal on your board, unless you’re a music is very special and calls for that.
[00:29:28] And if it does more power to you, that’s dope. but like this, like I can see using this in my band. we have some spots where it really is right now, I’m using the inside to get sort of this synthy kind of like, Oh, choral kind of sound. But this would do that. Also, of course, this doesn’t do all the things at the end.
[00:29:48] So does, but if that’s the kind of sound that you’re going for, like something that really can just go, Oh yeah, yeah, this does that. It’s really neat. So, great work by Zara and Greg, I I’m really excited for their newest pedal is being released on August seven, 20, 20, as far as I know. I noticed when they they’re releasing their demo.
[00:30:11] That’s when I’m really seeing my demo. It’s their first collaboration. So it’s a pedal that Sarah actually works on the, the innards of it, the inner workings of the pedal, which is really, really cool. And I’m really excited and proud of her. So, yeah, great work by them. They make really interesting pedals and I’m really happy that they are my neighbors.
[00:30:32] So thanks for watching things for understanding. Once again, I’m Emily, until next time, goodbye.
