Electro-Harmonix Effectology Vol.11 Crystal-Shimmer Effects

Electro-Harmonix Effectology, Vol.11 Crystal-Shimmer Effects By Bill Ruppert Welcome to Electro-Harmonix's "Effectology" series, in which we create a remarkable collection of impossible sounds using just a regular guitar and EHX effect pedals! No keyboards, samplers or midi pickups were used. In this episode Bill Ruppert demonstrates how to produce beautiful Crystal-Shimmer effects as well as a new sound called "Symphonic". To create the first two clips seen in the video I wired the effect pedals in parallel. Placing the effects in a parallel chain opens up new and beautiful sounds not possible when using a standard series connection. The third example "Symphonic" places the effects back in a series connection. A volume pedal is used to swell the chords in and remove the attack of the guitar giving the guitar a string section type sound. Its a beautiful sound from just one guitar! The clip is a improvisation on the song "Adagio for Strings"by Samuel Barber. This music has been used in many great movies you may have seen.
