I had already ordered a small pedalboard for the Polyend Step to sit on but since it's not that at the moment I decided to build a small board for the drummer.

I used it only a few times and whenever I did I was stunned about everything about it. To me its still one of the most beautiful guitars ever build. Since I was kind of in a writing rut stuck to certain chords I thought why not give this one a go. The cool thing with a baritone guitar is that you can play the same stuff you always play but it sounds different. Partly because you play in another key party because the guitar sounds just different. In this case it has more low end more warmth."

"Calming Vibes Using a Baritone Its been a long time since my brothers guitar had someone playing it. I used it only a few times and whenever I did I was stunned about everything about it. To me its still one of the most beautiful guitars ever build. Since I was kind of in a writing rut stuck to certain chords I thought why not give this one a go. The cool thing with a baritone guitar is that you can play the same stuff you always play but it sounds different. Partly because you play in another key party because the guitar sounds just different. In this case it has more low end more warmth."

Since I own the Polyend Step it made noodeling so much more fun. To incorperate its workflow into my looping isnt that easy for me and needs some more practise to happen naturally. With this session I really like that everythings played together in a very organic way. I was really in the moment the light was beautiful and what I had in mind with this loop just worked"

Looping was the fastest way for me getting some sketches done but the more I experimented the more it became a part of my playing routine.

While Postrock definetly is the gernre I listen the most playing some ambient guitar is my most used way experimenting with sounds.

For the Boss DD-500 its the case for me. I use it for years now and since Ive got it on the board it my only dedicated delay pedal. I discovered some sounds while being inspired by gear demos of other style of pedals. One of the sounds I tried to replicate for a long time is to get the DD-500 closer to tape. Its one of the few sounds I cant stop to work on. While playing with all its parameters in the menu I stumbled upon the"

I wish for something more organic with character. You can do lot bei automating EQ and Modulation values but it's still a bit to sterile. As I was playing around with some setting maxing out the 5sec Delay time I started to realize it can by used like a looper which also degrades in a nice way setting the EQ to feedback loop.

It was more about the fact that I tend to program my drums inside my DAW using GGD Modern&Massive or Kontakt. I knew it would be a slight change in my worklfow but it also would give me more possibilities not being glued to the studio.

"Calming Vibes Using a Baritone Its been a long time since my brothers guitar had someone playing it. I used it only a few times and whenever I did I was stunned about everything about it. To me its still one of the most beautiful guitars ever build. Since I was kind of in a writing rut stuck to certain chords I thought why not give this one a go. The cool thing with a baritone guitar is that you can play the same stuff you always play but it sounds different. Partly because you play in another key party because the guitar sounds just different. In this case it has more low end more warmth."

"Taking Some Time to Listen Sometimes listen back a session reveals a lot about yourself. The loop started as always with nothing standing in the way of creativity maybe just the usual over thinking. Listen back to the recording I realized playing chords went out of sync. I don't know how that happened without me realizing really. Like I wasn't fully there had my mind drifting. Thinking about it made me realize that it was exactly the case that evening. Too many things in my head too much tension inside. It's nice to have something that shows you thing about yourself.

"Will I Ever Be Good At This I sold my Marshall a while back and the guitarist bying it brought a friend testing it. His friend happened to be a drummer with his own practise space just a few minutes from where I live. He said I would be welcome for a jam one day so that sounded pretty interesting. I always fail to find musicians I click with musically and why not give it a chance We met a few times had a few jams and I realized getting out of my comfort zone isnt not that bad in getting more self-esteem. We did hour long sessions and one day I thought about filming some of it just to see"

"Taking Care Before Recording. Recording mainly digital these days gives you so many possiblities. Amps cabs modulation overdrives time-based effects. You can use as much as your hardware can handle. For some effects where I have specific needs like being able to manipulate knobs on the fly I use pedals on my board but mixing is a thing that mainly happends inside my DAW. Recording this way can make life easier or make everything far more complicated than it has to be. Its really on you and your needs.

Something that helps growing that shows you weak points or let you explore new terretories. Take this one fpr example. It started with a simple idea that doesnt really went somewhere. No matter what I did it wouldnt wanna feel right. The only thing left to do for me was to add more structure trhough the drums I was using. Its hard to give structure to something thats basically a loop. To make it feel like an actual song with a build up and some more interest"

I did some more videos this day as you may have seen already and explaining a few thing seemed to be a good idea. While Postrock definetly is the gernre I listen the most playing some ambient guitar is my most used way experimenting with sounds. Grabbing the guitar hit a few notes and twisting some knobs is just too satisfying. Theres always a suprise ahead and my way syncing pedals was born out of just combing pedals.

There are so many possibilities fonding your sound these days and it's impossible to try everything. That's a good reason watching demos as long as you're not in constant fomo. I don't want to buy every new thing that comes out but sometimes it's inspiring to hear what people come up with using new gear. The thing I hate with new releases is that "game changer" thing. Not many things are game changer for me personally. For the most part it's fun and more a "I"

"It's About Yourself. It's about jamming. Having an idea and exploring its possiblities. Which pedal could work which progression. Getting the loooper running has become my favouite way of experimenting. I am my own judge and if I feel like I shoud use ton of effect I just do so. I like to capture the process of getting better this way. Sometimes the outcome is a close to finished song and other times it sounds not like much. The time taken is always worth it and if it's something that stands the test of time is never something considered beforehand. Get your guitar and just let go. . . ."

I thought about what to do and while I was thinking about playing guitar I realized I havent used summer enough for playing outside. It took a while getting all the gear together but I wasnt in a hurry. I few minutes into noodling and I decided pressing record.

Not that I havent done something like that a ton but I never know where I land after a few layers. I started Step got the first layer into the looper and did what I like the most. Play. After I thought thats it I couldnt help myself but not stop. I was looking for a chord to end on which was so much out of context that I knew I started a new loop. I kept going with what"

That in particular true with using distortion but I wont feel comfortable without just giving it a try. The more you experiment. the more you learn.

"Using A Delay Pedal As My Looper It feels like the possibilities of the DD-500 are endless really. It gives my almost every Delay tine I wish but it falls short at Tape Delays. I wish for something more organic with character. You can do lot bei automating EQ and Modulation values but it's still a bit to sterile. As I was playing around with some setting maxing out the 5sec Delay time I started to realize it can by used like a looper which also degrades in a nice way setting the EQ to feedback loop.

Why are some days so hard hard Why are simple descisions impossible to make at times I needed to take a break. Two chords and a slight variation. Usually thats enough to keep a loop going.

It can be total nonsense and can turn into a mess pretty quickly. The fun and calming part is to take your time listen carefully turning knobs to get a base layer going.just improvise. Its an instant outcome when scaping with sound and there are some many directions possible that the only thing deciding where to go next is dictated by your intuition.

It's a fun thing to play save at first and then just go with whatever floats my boat. Sometimes it doesn't work out but most often it does. I found so many combinations of pedal settings which I'm sure I wouldn't have by just doing proper recordings. To experiment is the reason using a looper.

I just started with a simple chord progression I use way too often but playing something familiar helps to not think about the actual playing that much. I didn't used Baklengs loop-side a ton and haven't took a deeper dive on Moods stretch-mode either but combined both by accident. When I heard both pedals running and hit the first notes over that I knew I had to press record. It was just an invitation to play.

Those sounds for me help to fill the space in a nice way and even if I have four layers playing they dont collide that much if Ive been intentional with what I do.
