00:24 Pinin’ For The Fjords
In this example, Deco's Classic saturation side is used to push Iridium's Punch amp into a bit of overdrive, which then goes into Brig set to the Multi Voice for some stereo back and forth, before ending with a bit of Plate reverb from blueSky.
01:34 Spinning ‘Round
Lex is used in this example to provide a spinning modulation to the longer repeats. You can easily hear the modulation in the repeats, which gives the whole sound movement and a bit of extra midrange bite. blueSky's Spring reverb provides a bit of "sproing" on the upstrokes at the end of the chain.
02:27 New Bohemia
With Brig set to a short echo using the 3205 Voice, Zelzah adds the enveloping filtered phaser to the sound. It's great for funky auto-wah kinds of sounds, as well as that classic song from the band from Dallas.
03:07 Late 80’s Pop
There are a couple iconic pop songs from the late eighties that feature a choppy tremolo, and in this example Deco adds Saturation to push Iridium into a bit of crunch, Flint adds the choppy tremolo using the '65 Photocell trem and Brig finishes up the tone with a longer delay using the 3205 Voice.
04:00 Meditative States
A relatively simple setup for how organic and complex the resulting tone is, this example leans hard on Brig's cross coupled stereo delays when set to the Multi Voice. blueSky adds a Room reverb at the end of the chain for the delay repeats to sit inside, but Brig is doing all of the heavy lifting for vibe here.
05:10 Come Up To Mah Crib
Morris Day had nothing to do with the tone for this example, which is really more of a lullaby. Deco adds a bit of push to Iridium, with low Saturation it's acting a bit like Compadre might in the same position. Zelzah is set to a Flanger on the six-stage side, Brig has a medium length delay using the 3205 Voice, and blueSky has a tricky part to play by adding a low octave Shimmer in the background of the Spring reverb. With a bit of predelay dialed in on blueSky, the Shimmer notes take a moment to show up, which is easy to hear when the highest notes are plucked.
05:59 Mirrored Walls
This tone is all about using two delays at the same time, one set short and one set longer. The short echo on Deco before the Punch amp provides the immediate apparent width to the tone, which is where the "mirror" vibe in the title comes from. Brig has a warm stereo delay set in the Multi Voice, which adds wonderful back-and-forth warm movement to the thick and crunchy tone coming from Iridium.
07:00 Wobblegum
This example uses a common descending chord progression, with multiple stages of modulation and ambience to provide movement and interest. Flint's '61 harmonic tremolo mellows out the pick attack, and Lex set with the horn mics far away and turned down (with a lot of added dry tone left in) gives the distinctive wobble to the tone. A longer delay on the 3005 Voice in Brig combined with the Plate reverb in blue Sky finishes off the whole sound, which could work both in aggressive types of songs as well as mellower versions.
08:03 Heavy Downstrokes
Sometimes it's just fun to turn the Gain on Iridium all the way up and play around, so this tone uses a shorter delay in Brig right after the amp, and uses a longer delay coming from DIG to space the notes apart from one another.
09:00 Canadian Riffage
With a gently repeating phrase, the effects setup in this example is designed to provide both width and depth to the whole sound. Brig is set to a medium-length delay with modulation, and blueSky has an upper Shimmer added to the Plate reverb. The resulting tone is large and wide for only a couple of pedals.
09:55 Wacka Wacka Slap
This tone and riff leans on two things: the compressed crunch of Deco's new Cassette Mode and Iridium together, and the back-and-forth longer delays coming from DIG. Brig sits in the middle of those two elements and holds the whole thing together with a shorter slapback delay. The result is a fun sound where the pick strokes are really obvious as they bounce back and forth.
